Monday already?

Seriously, where did the weekend go? We were pretty much the laziest family ever on Saturday. I don't even think I could tell you what we did besides play with Walker. Andrew did grill us some pretty phenomenal burgers and I made my first of many pasta salads of the year. And I went to the grocery store. But that's about it for Saturday. Oh! Walker did get to play in his first mud puddle so that was pretty awesome. I'll work on posting that video.


Yesterday, me and my man went on a date. Without our toddler. Yea ... that was amazing. I actually got to taste my food instead of scarfing it down. I didn't have to wrangle my kiddo into a high chair, keep him from screaming and offer him a bazillion different things to play with or do to keep him entertained. He's just not super fun to take to restaurants. He does great out and about at stores and running errands. But restaurants? No thanks. My blood pressure starts to rise just thinking about it.

After our early bird senior dinner (we went at 4:30) we headed over to Lowe's to pick up a few home improvement things. We have decided to take the house room by room and get it just the way we want it.  Our downstairs powder room is done! I wish I had a before picture to show you. All we had to do was pick up were two new light sconces because the current ones are a little outdated. When we moved in I repainted and replaced the mirror. That's all it needed! It will probably be the cheapest of the rooms that needs improvement. I will make sure to do before and after picture posts as we chug along.


I'm going to start posting menus every Monday of what I'll be cooking for the week. I've noticed that if I write it out and put it on the fridge I am more motivated to follow through. So, here it is!

Monday - personal English muffin pizzas and side salad
Tuesday - bbg shredded chicken sammies in the crockpot, homemade garlic mashed potatoes, green beans
Wednesday - turkey meatloaf, brussel sprouts, corn on the cob
Thursday - homemade chicken tortilla soup
Friday - out of town
Saturday - out of town


Happy Monday, everyone!
