really real life

me and my sisters have this inside joke...when something is really funny or looks fake or is just too good to believe we ask, "are those your really real nails?"...it's a long story...don't know why i wanted to tell you that but i was just thinking about it

ok back to really real life ;)

{this is how your valentine's day goes when you have an almost 4 month old}

jamie and i had a lazy day at home with noah and started getting ready to go around 3 in the afternoon...we loaded up the car and headed to Sky Vue (our favorite getaway, i'll fill you in another time!).  just as we were about to get on the interstate my baby sister called me to say that she was locked out of the house and had left her car keys in her room, so she had no way to get to work later that day, could i pretty pretty please drive over and open the back door for her (both my parents and my middle sister were out of town already for v-day)....so reluctantly jamie and i drove over and let her in the house...the whole time jamie was saying, "let her call a locksmith!" we were a little frazzled...

we finally got to SkyVue around 5:30 or 6. we were in cabin #6, our favorite! it's where we honeymooned :) we ordered our yummy yummy pizza...[good time to throw in the fact that i ate pizza every night for valentines weekend, from 3 different restaurants! it was all yummy!] we ate our pizza with my mom and dad who were also staying at SkyVue. then we decided to watch the old school Robin Hood, you know the one with the singing rooster and robin hood is a fox...jamie happens to love love love old cartoons... (make that all cartoons - we've watched Ratatouille about a hundred times!) well we fell asleep...about an hour into it, jamie laying on the recliner with noah on his chest and me stretched out on the couch. we woke up at 9:30! you can laugh out loud right now, yes we fell asleep at about 8 i think! only to wake up and go straight back to bed. we didn't have anywhere for noah to sleep, so we just made him a little cocoon right there in between us in our king size Sky Vue bed! noah has slept in bed with us on occasion, but not on a regular basis... we were not prepared for the events that occurred...

noah woke up at 10:30 pm...to eat...

and at 2:00 am...just to cry and say, "hi mom, thought you should wake up"...

and at 4:45 am to eat again...

and at 6:30 am to eat yet again and to cuddle with daddy. :) mommy went back to sleep!

.... it wasn't a good night...

we dragged ourselves out of bed sunday morning for a good homemade breakfast at the Lodge...mmm some kind of fritata (breakfast casserole), fruit, and homemade bread! yummy yummy!! {how did this story end up being mostly about food??} then we ran back to the cabin to take a nap since we hadn't slept much that night. 

not the most romantic valentines day ever, but we still had lots of fun and relaxation...and we got to spend lots of one on one time with our favorite little valentine, noah! :) cause that's what life's really really about right now!

Sky Vue in 1938...isn't it quaint?!
