Valentines Re-visited

Okay...I've put enough space in between Valentine's week and this post....I had to find my breath again! So I started out the day, helping "host" the valentine's party in Indy's class. It would've been great...had I not brought the "Rascal". What on earth was I thinking?? I mean the fact that Indy loved having him sit on his lap (for the 5 seconds he would sit!) should NOT have been enough to sway me to bring him...I would get random comments from the kids, "ummm...your baby just threw his food on the floor" or "umm...your baby has his hands in the frosting!" Despite the baby Mac craziness, the kids had a great time. And Laina did a great job decorating her own queen of hearts crown...it was her mother who decided to stick it on her head when the glue was still wet...oh well...lots of shampoo! (and no...we didn't get a picture...the glue sent her into mild hysterics)

(T.. :)


And now on to the 2nd annual "Dinner Club V-day Dinner". Our lovely host was the famed chocolate strawberry dipper "Nic". I talked her into doing beef tenderloin...yes it was very rare (I had to post this image so that I can cement my inhertance from my "steak tartare eating father"). She had to sear it a little more before it was deemed edible :) but it still cut like buttah'. Ade provided the "bling" and the dessert :) Me? I showed up with lame asparagus...I know...so lame! Oh! and we did have spouses there too :)
