Last night was really fun. We ended up eating Baked Ziti for dinner, and I treated myself to a Cadbury Crème Egg for dessert. Then the kids and “J” went to hang out at the park, and I ran off to Kohl’s to buy another thermal shirt for “J” for our trip. Got home and helped get the kids down, and made some homemade Hummus and carrots to snack on. Then our good friends “F” and “B” came over for cocktails and to hang out. We enjoyed the patio since the weather is so nice, and even brought out the hookah for a while. We had such a good time that we ended up hanging out until 1:30am! Yikes! Woke up tired this morning, but sooooo worth the grown-up time!
So this morning “J” and I slept in while “P” treated “V” to some cereal sans milk. At about 8:45 she finally walks in and says, “Mom and Dad? Is it milk time?” Too cute. So we got our act together and at 10:00 we headed to Minden to pick up a piece of fencing to use as a grapevine trellis by the gazebo. “J” found it on Craigslist, and despite having to drive to get it, it was a good deal. Then we did a little shopping and got some gas. We had lunch at Port of Subs, which is one of my favs. I used my “Fast Food Options” page (look to your right of this page) to help decide where we wanted to eat. I also installed this handy little app called Restaurant Nutrition which has an option to type in what food you want to eat and for how many calories, then it lists which restaurants have that. So cool! Love it!
Now the kids are down and “J” ran off to buy some 4X4s to mount the fencing, and some spray paint to make it match the gazebo. I am so lucky to have such a handy do-it-yourself kind of guy! Planning on Omaha Steaks, rice and broccoli tonight, then we will be finalizing our meal choices for the flight, watching a kids movie about Ireland with the kids, and continue to collect toys for our trip. Wish me luck; it’s a busy Saturday for us!
