Allen got off early, on Tuesday, our anniversary, and my mom was coming to stay so we could go eat. Laney developed a fever late in the day, so I scrambled and cancelled my mom. It was a rainy, dreary day, so the thought of staying at home with a movie and some yummy good sounded great to me, actually.
The kids and I headed out, even though Laney was sick, because the PS3 game Allen wanted came out on our anniversary. I was going to get a snazzy outfit to wear to dinner, but instead found this great capri/short sleeve jacket/comfy outfit. Perfect for the couch!
The kids had helped me get Allen's presents and wrap them, so when he got home they were super excited to see him open them. We went ahead and asked him to open them while they were awake. So much for romance! I got him his game, the Indiana Jones triliogy and the Alabama Football Vault book he's been wanting. He was really happy about his presents, and that made us all happy!
My present hasn't come yet! I got some beautiful white roses, though. What a happy surprise! We had white roses in our wedding, so that's why he got me those!
The kids went down easily, and Allen scooted out to get Habaneros. I love that place! We ate and watched the Olympics. After dinner, we put in "Raiders of the Lost Art," but after a bit I got up the courage to tell Allen I really wanted to watch women's gymnastics. He rolled his eyes just a bit, but was really kind about the whole thing. It helped that swimming was interspersed throughout the gymnastics, so he liked that!
It was a sweet, cozy anniversary!
When I went to bed, I realized that Zane was burning hot with a fever and he was sleeping uneasily for most of the night. I thought, "Well. that was a quick return to reality!" It's okay, though, because Allen always can make me laugh. That's the most precious gift of all!
I'm so glad we some pictures of the two of us. We don't have that many. We were so tickled because Jude was taking them, and he was so cute with the camera! I had to post all three of them. Yea!!!!!

i want a copy of the first photo. ya'll are just precious. and, are you going to explain the title to this post? I know what it refers to, but I think it may be a little vague to other folks, with pictures of the two of you, in all your cuteness, and your roses, but no mexican gymnasts to be seen...
