Happy LOVE Day.
In keeping with my holiday freak flag flyin’ schedule, I thought I should let you know today has it unfurled and wildly flapping.
Evidence A: the excuse to bust out the lace tights I’ve been dying to wear.
Verdict is I like them very much.
Evidence B:
Our Valentine’s Day sugar cookie buzz tradition. Just how much sugar can one pile onto an already sugar-filled cookie? Lainey is determined to find out.
Evidence C:
We’re going out tonight. On a real date. Where we dress up and have a babysitter (okay, my dad, but still). And because this doesn’t happen very often, I enjoy the prolonged process of getting ready that begins with a long bath with the girls and, after a trio of home pedicures, a few cups of hot tea and letting Lainey pick out my lip gloss, it ends with reconnecting with a pair of teetering heels from back in the day when I wore teetering heels almost every day.
Evidence D. Well, actually this has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day or love unless you count the fact that I love weekend outings which is really stretching it, so let’s just scratch the whole evidence thing and call this second part of the post “We Went to the Zoo Yesterday.”
We Went to the Zoo Yesterday.
And being that I’d love to start the getting ready ritual early for tonight, I’m making this quick.
My dad holds Nella like a sack of flour. It freaks me out, but she loves it and he loves that it freaks me out.
It was grand.
Happy Love Day!
