HELPS SO MUCH!
my husband took me on a hot date last night.
it was a dinner for his office but i still got to shave my legs, wear high heels and be OUT for the night.
it was a wine tasting dinner.
that was a lot of wine on a wednesday night for this mama.
for real.
it was good to get out of the house!
i needed it.
bad.
although…thanks to the wine…..i was up at 3 AM unable to sleep anymore…..i fell back asleep at 5:30.
can't win with my stupid sleep.
AND sean came into my room when i was up at 4:43 am and scared the snot out of me.
he couldn't sleep either.
probably because today is his birthday!
he is a thinker and i bet he was dreaming up what his gifts might be and then couldn't go back to sleep.
sean's day of birth was quite dramatic.
it was fun to tell him about again.
🙂
we barely made it into a delivery room and craig had to lie down on the delivery room floor and the nurses brought him juice while i looked down at him.
i think i said "what are you doing? i am the one that just had this baby!"
it was very fast and very overwhelming for everyone.
ha ha ha
i am so glad that sean was born.
he rocks.

Jennifer Ware - I know this is an old post so I hope you actually see this comment… while the outfit is super cute I’ve got a question about your paint color. I’m looking for the “perfect cream” color and was wondering what color is on the walls of the background of these photos. Finding the right cream is gonna kill me. Thanks!
Kim Barlow - You are one foxy Mama!!! Happy Birthday to Sean…he looks like such a sweet, easy going guy. My oldest Trent will be 11 this month. Time flies. PS. Wine does the same thing to me but I still drink it too!!! LOL!

Kimberly Dial - I’m so glad you enjoyed your evening with the hubs! Too much wine keeps you up? I would have thought the exact opposite was true 🙂 I hope Sean had an awesome birthday!

We all need the scoop on where you got…

Tamsen - Random comment that has nothing to do with date nights or birthdays (yay for both of them, BTW!), but I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get crafty with my kids each week. We started a “craft thursday” ourselves about a month ago and are having a blast! My 3 younger kids (age 6, 10, and 12) and I have been going crazy with paint, glue and glitter. Last night my son said, “YES!! tomorrow is craft day!!) and his younger sister started dancing around the house saying, “this is better than kindergarten!” And then, my 17-year-old daughter chimed in and said, “I think I want to do crafts tomorrow with you guys, too.” Say what??? So tonight, I will sit at the table with all 4 of my kids and create. Pure. Heaven.
Tami Veer - you look great!! i love your style!
Rachel B. - Look at you! Get down with your bad self!
(Yay for date nights and birthdays).
jacqui anderson - wow! you get more gorgeous every day if thats possible!
Sandy - Here’s a question for your next question/answer day…how tall are you?
I would love to wear shoes like that, but I’m already 5’8.5 and my man is 5’8 on a good day. :-/
Sandy - Look at you all dressed up pretty! I hope you had a great time despite losing sleep.
Happy Birthday, Sean! I realized the other day that he is next in line for missing from pictures. Don’t think we don’t miss seeing your two oldest because we do (I’m sure I can speak for every one of your readers). 🙁

happy bday to your boy sean!
love to tell the ‘edited’ birth stories to my girls too.
they find it so fascinating.
i wish my mom could tell my story but she just says i was born and my dad was there (unlike the other 2 siblings… when it was still so long ago that the husbands weren’t allowed in the room!)

Julie - Meg, you look so adorable!! Love your outfit, head to toe! I, like everyone else, would love to know where you bought your dress and shoes from. And your bracelets! I wake up for a couple hours during the night too if I drink too much wine. It stinks but I love wine!
Happy Birthday to Sean!

Please give me tips! I’ve gone a little frumpy these days ( I have 3 kids) tell me how to juggle date nights and cute clothes!

Happy birthday to Sean!
