We had big plans for Valentine’s Day. We dressed up in our best Valentine’s gear:
We decorated cookies with one of our cousins and best buds, Vinnie:
And then stayed home while Mom and Dad went out for sushi:
And to top it off, all the complaining in the earlier post must have helped because I lost 4lbs. I’ll shut up about it now. 
The other three enjoyed a few new books and they each got an iTunes card. I would have included pictures but couldn’t pin any of them down. Nico and Tommy both had practice and Belle had dance. Hats off to Chrissy for making Valentine’s Day special for Gia. All I had planned was a day in our pajamas eating sweets.
Linking up with Galit at These Little Waves and Alison at Writing, Wishing:
I am a stay at home mom, married to my college sweetheart, Leo. We have four kids, Nico, Tommy, Isabella and Gia. We have a son, Rocco that is an angel in Heaven.
Yay for sushi and losing 4lbs!

Even better is that I found out I lost the 4lbs AFTER I ate the sushi!
Sounds like a great day and the sushi looks delish!

Eating sweets in jammies is the best thing ever!!! Followed very closely by sushi.

Thank you so much, my friend. I would love to know which part of my crazy eating was the result of the loss but right now, just enjoying the number finally going down.
It sounds like a lovely day! And congrats on the 4lbs. Seeing that scale move down always feels good.
Thanks and yes, yes it does.
YAY!!! FOUR POUNDS!!! That is just SO awesome!!!!!!
I want to steal that Gia and take her home with me and cuddle with her for hours in those pjs. Just sayin’… 
And btw- my hubs and family and some close friends call me “Chrissy” so that TOTALLY threw me for a minute! HA! I thought to myself, “YAY! I saved the day! Oh wait…no I didn’t!!” LOL

That made me laugh about the name.
And even if it had been one or two pounds, I’d be jumping for joy but 4 pounds? I was walking on a cloud all day. 
I’ve never had sushi. Ever.
Yay for those 4 lbs!!
I’ve never had the raw fish kind of sushi (well, a friend made me try it but I’ll never again ever eat it). I am more of a California Roll kind of girl. I’ll only get the cooked stuff.
Hey, I had meat-lovers pizza and lost 4 pounds for Valentine’s Day too!
(Well, I had meat-lovers pizza for Valentine’s Day.)

Meat-lovers pizza, huh? I’m more of a just cheese kind of gal. Now that I read that, I’m kind of craving Lou Malnati’s.
{Melinda} Looks like you had a very SWEET day!
Did you get your book yet?

It was! Not yet but I am on the look out for it.
Wow! 4lbs is amazing. So happy for you! I can’t believe you made it out on Valentine’s Day. Very impressive!

I can’t believe we did either but it was only because the kids didn’t have school on Friday. Otherwise, homework and bedtime schedules would never had made that possible.

Looks like a great day! 4 pounds, that’s great! Gia is so cute!!

It was and love that I was 4lbs lighter.
Thanks for the sweet words about Gia. She does crack me up.
