Valentine's Day

For the past week, JoJo hasn't attempted to get into bed at all, even in the mornings until this morning. Without any prompting at all, she jumped into bed when she heard my alarm go off and came right up to my pillow and buried her head into me. Usually when she gets into bed she either finds a spot near my feet or confiscates Marshall's empty side of the bed, but this morning she was all about the Valentine's Day snuggles.

Susan and I went to Ukulele lessons this morning so that this evening we could go to Zumba. We learned 2 new songs - "Don't worry be happy" and "Ain't no bugs on me." We also learned how to tune, but for now I'm going to stick to using my electronic tuner. Since I was across the street from Surfhouse, I decided to stop by there and pick up lunch to take home. After lunch, I went and had my hair cut. I figured I should get it trimmed now while I could since pretty soon a baby was going to take precedence over all else. Stacey texted me after my appointment and we decided to do Fuzzy Peach in Leland for an afternoon treat. So I headed over to her house where she was waiting for Oliver. On the way, I texted Tifni to see if she and her kids wanted to meet us there and it just so happened she was already planning on taking her kids there after she picked up Parker from school. When I got to Stacey's, MaryBeth was just dropping off Oliver. We loaded up Oliver's carseat in Stacey's jeep and headed off to Walmart. I needed to get a few things from Walmart and I hate the one that is near me so we decided to go to the Leland Walmart first. Of course, with Oliver in tow we couldn't go to Walmart and not walk down the vacuum aisle. That kid is obsessed with vacuums. I've never seen a kid's face light up going down the vacuum aisle the way Oliver's did. It was so cute. There were two aisles of vacuums and we had to go down them both. He pointed out which vacuum his mom had, which one Stacey had and then wanted to know which kind I had. When we left Walmart, we drove across the parking lot to Fuzzy Peach. Tifni and her kids weren't there yet so we went ahead and made our bowls and grabbed a table. They came in shortly thereafter and we all enjoyed some frozen yogurt treats together. Parker was very chatty today and him and Oliver had fun talking and playing checkers (their version of playing was to simply fill up the board with all the chips).

I left Stacey's and headed back to my house to change quickly and head to Babs McDance for the Zumba One Billion Rising dance. All the money raised tonight went to fight domestic violence. It was a great cause and a great thing to do on Valentine's Day. Especially since my Valentine was all the way in Charleston, SC. The dance was from 5:30-7pm but I stopped dancing around 6:40pm. An hour was about all I could handle, plus it was getting so hot in there we were steaming up the windows. I waited around though for Susan to finish dancing and I just enjoyed hanging out and listening to the music. It was a fun, but busy day so I was glad to finally get home, shower and put my PJs on.
