Our Welcome sign for V-Day Dinner

Our perfect table for two!

Yummy supper!

We love these kiddos!

We had a wonderfully busy Saturday!  Luke played another excellent game.  He is really becoming a good little player.  He played excellent defense again today.  He played 5 out of the 6 periods because a few of the boys were out today.  Mom met us there and then took the kids home with her so they could prepare our Valentine dinner.  Paul and I headed up to the cabinet maker to take some crown molding that will match the rest of the house.  I was also able to get all the cabinet hardware picked out which was a chore in itself.  I was super excited when he took us back to the shop to see the progress they have made on the cabinets.  They are amazing!  I absolutely love them!  He didn't have any of the mudroom cabinets painted but we got to see some of the kitchen cabinets, kitchen island and master bath vanities.  So pretty!  I think we definitely have no regrets on going ahead and getting the cabinets made.  The owner also informed us that the cabinets should be finished the end of next week!  Holy moly -- we have got to get on the ball!

We were there for about an hour and then we ran back to Gallatin, grabbed lunch and picked up a lot of supplies at Lowe's before we met the exterior guy at 2 to settle up.  During this whole process we also got a call from a friend who has a friend that is looking for a house in our area.  Long story short they want to come and look at it tomorrow!  Man, oh man do we have a lot to do!  We have agreed to it although I'm not sure how we will get it all done.  We stayed at the house until 4:30 working and then headed home to clean up for our Valentine date.

We got to Mom's about 6. The kids were so excited that we were there!  They had spent all day cooking and decorating for our special night.  They acted like waiters and took us to our table in the sunroom. They had the table all decorated with a menu and everything. They fixed our drinks and brought out each course -- cheese and crackers for appetizer, salads with homemade dressing and croutons,  chicken Parmesan with garlic potatoes and steamed broccoli -- yummy! The food was amazing but the service and entertainment was better!  We all ate dessert together - lemon raspberry sorbet in a heart shape.  Mom really outdid herself this time.  It was such a special night.  It made us sit and relax for a little while and enjoy the kids.  They were worn out so we left a little after 8 so they could go to bed.  Paul and I went to Home Depot and were there until it closed.  We are having a hard time deciding on tile for the master.  Of course, the things I love -- marble, travertine are out of our budget at this point. Since we are having cabinets made I have had to make some changes to my "wish list" so we stay on budget.  Hopefully we will find something soon that is affordable and that we like.

It was an amazingly busy, but fun day -- one of the best Valentine's Day ever!
