Weekend Happenings

Image
By
This past weekend was a fun one.  I had goals that included cleaning and weeding, but those took a backseat to ummm, fun things.  These things happen.

We had another picnic in the park, this time with KFC.  The husband had the great idea to make our picnic classy and brought some sparkling apple cider.  The classiest glasses we had were ice cream sundae glasses, but it worked for me.  My favorite of the evening was Danny opening the apple cider using a broken pair of finger nail clippers I found in my purse.  It was sanitary, don't worry.

Danny and I went and saw the new movie "The Avengers".  I see a lot more action movies now that I'm married.  The movie was entertaining.  It's not one that is really intellectually stimulating, but the graphics are cool and overall it's fun.  Iron man is my favorite of those make-believe comic heroes.


Saturday evening we went to a Cinco de Mayo party, hooray for Mexico!  There was so much delicious guacamole, my taste buds were happy.  It was also wonderful to see some great friends and enjoy good conversation.
So much good food!

Apparently food is an important aspect of weekends.  I think I need a more active life.  But until then, I ventured in the unknown world of cooking curry.  This was a very mild recipe, but it turned out really good.  Next time I think I'm going to try a little less lime and a little more curry.

    It looks like fun, of course, but I must admit that I am glad that Dad and I watch more bonnet movies than action ones.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

8 Months!

By
Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
