She stole my Valentine

My husband and my daughter have a little Valentine's tradition. He takes her out on a date to the place of her choice. Last year it was Taco Bell. This year she upped the ante to Carlos O'Kelley's. She planned coordinating outfits for them to wear: Mr. Happy and Little Miss Sunshine shirts.

She's the only girl in the world that I'm happy to share my Valentine with. I'm thankful to have him model for her the way she should be loved and pursued and honored one day. One day a long time from now, hopefully.

Not only was he romancing his little girl, but he took pretty good care of the Mrs. too with his gift for me...

Which reminds me that I'll have yet another girl to share him with before too long!

But I got him all to myself for dinner. Well, kind of. We went to our church's annual Valentine's dinner. We were the entertainment for the evening as we did our rendition of "I Got You Babe", which we have long considered our song. I have no shame apparently, so I will let you watch if you should choose. First the disclaimers: sadly my children were playing with my long black wig last week and I didn't realize it was MIA until minutes before we had to leave. So I don't much resemble Cher. Bill is a different story when it comes to resembling Sonny, however. FYI, it is very hard to dress like Cher for a church function. Not that I would go anywhere accurately dressed like Cher. And finally, please keep in mind that we are NOT singers. I guess you'll find that out soon enough.

Without further ad0, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj88YtHG1u8

Confirmation that I will do anything for a laugh. And that my husband may not be the mild mannered guy everyone thinks he is.

Missy, thank you SO much for sharing this! I remember you talking about a birthday or something when you and Bill did this at some karaoke thing. I couldn't completely picture it at the time, but this helps! It's fun to see this side of Bill!

How nice a father-daughter night! Love the necklace too! Where did he find it? I am guessing he had it made.

Also, thanks for the fun Eclipse gum you left in my room. You are very clever!

Oh girl. You had me all wet around the eyes with laughter.
HAAAAAAAA!
You guys crack.me.up!

As far as the Twilight thing. I'm pathetic. I started them sometime in January I think. I'm nearly finished. I'm 3/4 way through the last one: Breaking Dawn.
LOVED the first 3. This one, not as much, although I still like it and am in engaged in it... Anxious to see what you think!
What ever am I going to read next?!

heidi said...

I am SO glad you commented in response on my blog. I was sitting here all worried you would be upset!! Ha!

So, uh, I just gave you something at my place.

Amber said...

I feel like I've seen you guys do that song before, many years ago. :) That was great!!

That video was nothing short of hilarious. And having spent a few years with that hubby of yours, I know he's capable of being quite goofy just as you are...and now we have proof on video!

Very sweet. I like that your husband just happened to have that shirt in his closet. It says a lot about him. You were a great Cher... and boy was your husband bustin' a move up there. Well done!
