Valentines Day weekend recap

The older children were *supposed to stay with their grandparents Friday night but they changed their minds. So Friday date night was a family date night. 

The highlight of the weekend was the Valentine's Day dance at the children's school. Daniel took me and Isabel took daddy. 

The predance date was at Qdoba. That's what happens when we let the 6 year old and the 4 year old decide where to go. (It could have been worse. It could have been McDonald's! yikes)

I was hoping we'd go to the other Mexican place because of the margarita. Boohoo, no predance margarita for this mama.

Probably a good thing, eh?

It took an hour for my children to warm up and dance. They just sat there and watched the other students. They wanted to play checkers instead of dance. 

They didn't get their daddy and mummy's genes. Derrick and I just dance though the only ones on the dance floor. 

15 minutes before the end of the school dance, they finally went out and danced with us. It was so cute. And worth dressing up for that!

Sunday was Scout Sunday so it was busy in the morning but finally slowed down after lunch. Our usual after Mass lunch is closed. The owners are on their annual trip to Asia. Since I was craving steak (not that often I crave steak) I asked if we can all go to a steakhouse. The children actually ate their steak meal from the kids' menu. They also got little trinkets from the server. 


Bastian's toy only lasted the meal and didn't even make it home. It already broke and drained water. Isabel got a sticky heart. Daniel received an Avengers light up sticker. 


Ms. Lucy got a key pull charm. The highlight of her lunch is not charm but the mashed potatoes! It was loaded with butter. She loved it. 


She is a good eater like her kuya Bastian! I didn't bring her her baby food. I thought she'd just nap. So we let her try the mashed potatoes. {4th child... I'd never do that with Daniel}

Thanks to newchic for sponsoring this post... and letting me choose the perfect skirt for the most fun school dance. I grew up in the Philippines and went to a conservative Catholic high school. Our prom was actually "cancelled" so I never really went to a real school dance.


I think going with my eldest is the most fun.
I don't think I missed much.

I am making up for it now.

Just in case you missed the video link above, I am posting it here again (hint, hint for my mom or grandma who might have missed it)

Something serious:


But by the grace of God I am what I am,
and his grace to me has not been ineffective.
These words by St. Paul to the Corinthians spoke to me today.  I don't need to be perfect before I can come to the Lord. In fact, I cannot be perfect without his grace. 

His grace equips me.

Something hilarious:

While walking to church, my children were asking what's up with my vest. They were trying to figure out where I got my fur. I explained it's synthetic. I told them I do not like real animal fur so I am ok with the fake fur.


Then my eldest said: it looks like....
I asked: a bear?

he said: a skunk.

Then Isabel said: eeewww. skunks are stinky.


great.




      

That's all I have for tonight.
I gotta keep rooting for Peyton win this game!

Happy Sunday, friends!

It's Friday! yay!
After coming home late 2 nights in a row and then being on call Wednesday night, I am ready to catch up with my life and family.

Good thing I slept at 10:30p my call night. Because I got woken up at 1:30a and did not go back to sleep (pretty much) until 5:30am. :(  While I was up answering calls or reading an EEG... baby was asleep. When I was not on the work computer and ready to get some more snooze, baby woke up.


There's something about getting old. I just cannot go back to sleep right away anymore. Or was it because I was just sleep deprived as a resident doctor that whenever I was lying horizontal, I just fell asleep? I  did not have a problem falling asleep right away on-call, post-call or post-post-call... even with screaming children around me. Falling asleep right away was not a good thing anyway.  That meant I was uber tired.

Funny how when one is sleep deprived, body just goes into survival mode.

I have fallen asleep in the dentist chair before... not during the cleaning process but while waiting for my dentist. That chair was comfy. (the only time I got to see my doctor or dentist was post-call).

Who's ready for the weekend?
Are you with me?
