That Wasn't *Exactly* That and Friday Fancies

Yesterday I shared the story of my sweet Cullen opting to donate his paci to the new baby next store. In my post, I completely wiped myself clean of the paci and figured we would move forward in the world of rainbows and sunshine. Well, for the sake of being honest, and for showing my poor parenting skill (read: taking pictures of sad boys instead of consoling them) here is what I encountered yesterday before nap:

But Mommmm-ay. I want it back now! Go see Ms Er-win at home and tell her. Pu-wease Mommm-ay Pu-wease!

 But Bubba {Bennett} has-a bunch a pacisssss. Hes can give ones to Ev-lyn den I can get mines back. Pu-wease Mommm-ay, Puwease!

 But I's not a tired yet...

My brave boy did power through and managed to fall asleep all on his own for nap, although he woke up still crying. A 'picnic' and cuddle in my bed, while watching a Thomas show was a quick fix (and added a little extra rest time).Then naturally, when Kev got home from work, Cullen told him he was a big boy who doesn't use a paci and went right to sleep tonight. Figures.

Thank you though for all your sweet comments about his generosity, he really is a thoughtful boy. O and to those who complimented me on his writing abilities- while he is a smart kid, right now, we are still working on drawing a circle. He dictated and decorated with scribbles, I wrote :)

On to Friday Fancies. I have to admit, I'm not a Valentine's Day girl. It is just not special in my book, I'd rather Kev spontaneously feel like bringing me flowers, or buy something because he saw it and thought of me then celebrate Valentine's Day. It has just never been my thing. However, one of my girlfriends invited me over on Saturday for an afternoon of baking sugary goodness and drinking wine. Those are definitely two things I can get on board with.

1. Who isn't loving a Chambray shirt (Old Navy chambray shirt, $27) right now? I had no idea a jean shirt could be so versatile. In this look, I think it counters the 'hotness' of the skinny jeans and makes the overall outfit less fancy, but still fun.

2. I do not own this pants (Pink skinny jeans, $282). I will most likely never own these pants. But if I thought I was cool enough to wear hot pink skinnies, I would give it a shot. (I'm not.)

3. I've seen these Toms shoes floating around recently and I can't help to be drawn to them. I'd wear a nice neutral pair like this all the time.

4. Top this casual Valentine's Girl's Day look off with some pretty bangles (Dorothy Perkins metal jewelry, $11) and festive studs (Crystal stud earrings, $7.20) and I think we have the perfect outfit. All that is left are my wine glass filled up and a cupcake to try.

What are you up to this weekend? Am I the only girl who doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day?
