Wow, I don’t even know when the last time I did a recap of
our weekend. This weekend really wasn’t anything special, but I’m trying to get
back into the swing of things. Gotta start somewhere – right?
Friday:
Thank the sweet Lord that I’m able to work from home these
days, because I ended up working from home on Friday. I woke up and got partially ready
and then heard the horrible road conditions that we had from the snow storm
that had been going for 12 hours. My boss gave me the ok to work from home. Bailey
got to stay home, too so we didn’t have to venture out into the nasty snowy roads. Chris
worked lunch and that evening, so it was just Bailey and I. I was able to get
quite a bit done before she woke up for the day and Chris left for work, during her naps and while she watched cartoons and read books.

That evening was pretty low-key. I was starting to feel a
little under the weather and after taking a bath (after B was down for the
night), I ended up falling asleep in bed (around 9pm). I’m so old!

Saturday:
I woke up bright and early and got quite a bit of cleaning
done that I should have done Friday night. We had a birthday party at noon in
Minnetonka. Bailey had lots of fun playing at Cambrie’s 4th birthday
party! Bailey went down the slide by herself for the first time and we had a lot
of fun watching her play with the big kids (and hovered constantly to make sure
she didn’t get knocked over ;)) We hit up Popeye’s on the way home since we
were “in the area”. We are sooo obsessed with this place. It’s our go-to when
we visit Florida and now there’s some locations in MN. We were supposed to get
one in Savage last spring, but something happened and we didn’t. I think it’s
kind of a good thing – we would eat it way too often if it was down the street!
Chris went to work Saturday evening and B and I hung out at home. I did a Zumba
workout (really need to get back on track with those!!) and Bailey played in
her little kitchen. Poor little peanut is teething hardcore, so there were
quite a few snuggles mixed in, too J
These 2 are bound to be causing trouble at the cabin this summer - I can't wait!!
Sunday:
I’ve hardly been to the grocery store since we’ve been back
from Florida. Chris has gone the few times that we needed to since the weather
has been horrible and I don’t like to bring Bailey out in it if I can avoid it,
plus we save money when Chris shops J
I’m consider using Coborns Delivers – does anyone have experience with this?
There’s a delivery fee, but I feel like me not going to the store will reduce
the amount of crap I get distracted with and will probably save us money.
We hit up Costco and got a ton of fruit and veggies and then
Target for some other essentials. I felt pretty proud when I got home and we
had bought so many fruits and veggies that we didn’t have enough room in our 2
big drawers for them all. I’m really trying to get back on track with working
out and eating healthy. After lunch, I made up a veggie tray to keep in the
fridge and prepped our smoothies for the week. I feel so ahead of the game
right now! I also created a list of healthy sweet and salty snacks to hang on
the fridge. I’m so guilty of grabbing bad food that’s readily available and
making a meal of it. I want to stop this horrible habit I have and take the
thinking out of the process of deciding what I want when I’m hungry. If you have any favorites or suggestions - let me know, looking for ideas!

Speaking of healthy…later that afternoon, we met up with my
friend Sarah and her daughter Amelia at Smash Burger. I’d never been and I
won’t be dying to go back. It was decent, but nothing that knocked my socks
off. It was great to see Sarah and Amelia, though! We hadn’t seen them since
Bailey’s birthday party and Amelia is growing so much. She’s 8 months old and
is cute as can be. I could just kiss her little cheeks all day if I had her
with me! I hope we’ll be able to hang out more this spring and summer and do
fun stuff like go to the zoo or park.

| Ahem, Once upon a time there was a naughty little monkey.... |

| Oh, let's read Winnie the Pooh instead |
 |
| Bailey didn't display her best "sharing" behavior. All of these toys/books are Amelia's...Bailey helped herself |
Hope you all had a good weekend!!
