Valentines Day 2009

This year for Valentine's Day we had a double "date" at home with the kids. We figured it doesn't hurt to teach Kai how to treat women early on. The boys (Jeremy and Kai)  made us girls (Natalie and I) a nice homemade candlelight dinner. Then they brought us a rose and a box of chocolates and asked us to dance! Natalie loved getting her flower, she smiled and said, "oh, wow!" 

It was so cute watching Kai and Natalie dance, they were having so much fun that I had to grab a shot with the camera! : )  We ended the "date" by watching the date scene on Little Rascals. It was a fun night and I think the kids will remember it for a while. 

How to remove Desitin From Carpet:

Natalie squeezed half a tube of Desitin  all over her carpet the other day, then proceeded to comb it and spread it out even further! She was out of my sight for 5 minutes! 

So, here's the solution I found after I tried water, soap and water, and carpet cleaner....

Cover the area with baking soda and let sit for about an hour. Wipe with a wet cloth and dish soap. Keep rinsing and wiping.  It removes the stain and leaves the carpet smelling fresh!

Oh, and it helped remove the stains from Natalie's pants, too!
