Happy Valentine's Day!
We decided to make pink heart pancakes with chocolate chips for breakfast. These were Francie's first pancakes ever. Hers were an X and an O, no chocolate chips or syrup. She gobbled them up along with the red pouch we were saving for a time when she had no clothes on so we wouldn't have stains to deal with.
Big sister was very excited about the pancakes!
We had a great weekend.
The weather was perfect and we were outside for every single meal starting with Lunch on Saturday. We moved the high chair outside and everything.
Saturday morning Bean started working on ripping out a deck in our side yard (future post on that project coming up). We are having foundation work done in that area so there is a time constraint on getting the deck out.
While the baby took a nap, Abigail and I trimmed bushes and swept up the leaves from the back patio and she used some glass cleaner and paper towels to wipe down everything from the table to the benches to her car to her tricycle to her wagon. Four full yard bags later, we all felt very accomplished.
After showers and a rest for everyone, we decided to keep hanging out and made the Plated dinner we hadn't done yet- steak fajitas. Bean and I decided to try a recipe for homemade margaritas so he went to get the ingredients.
Before Francie was born, we were gifted a couple of weeks of Plated, the meal subscription. We loved it so much we haven't canceled it, or even skipped a week. We just worked it into our budget each week.
We get 2 meals a week that easily feed all of us- the baby mostly tastes stuff and big sister tries a bite or two. We love that you can choose each week's menu from several options. I'm not eating dairy while nursing because I noticed that Francie gets eczema when I do and it goes away when I don't; there are so many options I can always find something with zero or minimal dairy that I can leave out of my dish but put in everyone else's.
I'd love to do some reviews of recipes we make. It's a blast and it's made me a better cook all around.
The margarita came out amazing.
Sunday morning while the baby napped the rest of us worked in the garage, just sweeping, throwing out old boxes, etc. Abigail used her glass cleaner on some other items. Then the girls and I went to music class and Bean stayed back to enjoy a movie alone!
Lunch outside, a rest / SNL watching, and dinner at Fish Shack, and we wrapped up a nice relaxing but accomplished weekend at home.
Here are some photos from playing in the yard every chance we get!
Looking forward to another great weekend!
