Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day today!

My day started at 5:30 am...

I woke up to go to the bathroom and when I realized what time it was 
I was so excited that I'd have about two more hours to sleep. 
And just as I was crawling back into bed, I heard Milli's familiar snorting start up.
I figured since I was up and she was up...I'd run her out to the bathroom 
so I wouldn't have a mess to clean up later. 
I opened the bedroom and walked toward the kitchen area
and quickly realized she had broken out again 
but I couldn't understand how because the gate was still in place
and then I realized how she did it!
The night before, I was cleaning my floors (with hair dye in my hair)
at almost midnight. Ethan would be here early the next morning 
and he's all over the floor so I like to clean the floors before he gets here.
Thinking that Milli would be contained in the kitchen with the gate 
I did the floors at night while I was coloring my hair
(I had been trying to get my hair done all day, but you know how that goes)
I was so happy as I crawled into bed thinking the house was nice and clean for his arrival
the next morning...WELL, in my DREAMS, maybe!!!
This is how Houdini got out this time

 I had moved the Bakers Rack to clean and apparently did not push it far enough back.
She squeezed through the back!
I could NOT believe it. 
So, instead of crawling back into bed, I mopped my floors all over again, 
then I got dressed and put my makeup on 
and was ready for the day when Ethan arrived. 

We had a wonderful day together. 
I brought down from upstairs my old rocker. 

We had it recovered many years ago, when Ethan's daddy was little.

Hannah has been using it for a few years now when she comes over for a visit, 
but I know she won't mind sharing it with her cousin.

He had so much fun making it rock, all by himself
as he watched Disney Jr on the TV.
Later in the day, Papa came home from working
just so he could spend some time with Ethan.
Ethan LOVES his Papa!

When it was time to go home, we took him to meet his mama and daddy.
We were going to a Valentine's Banquet at our old church which was near Ethan's house.
I took this picture in the car (he thought it was funny)

We had a great time at the Banquet. 
And then when I got home I quickly took a bath and crashed into bed :0)
It had been a L-O-N-G day!!!
