Boring Thursday

It's going to be a picture less post today!  Sorry!  I did a whole lot of nothing today, but Sleep!  I got out of work at 2:00 this morning, when straight home and got into bed.  Guess what time I got up today?  1:30 this afternoon!  Can you say tired??  Brian was really good and got Emma up and ready for school and neither of them woke me.

We picked Emma up from school and ran to the store so we could get a couple of sandwiches to bring with us to work.  We have a local store that makes the best sandwiches. I know, this all useless information, however I really have not much to blog about today! ha =)

Emma has a spring concert coming up.  I'm not sure the exact date, but I was thinking last night I really need to get her a new dress.  And low and be hold my mother texted me a picture of a dress she bought her today in Florida.  Perfect! 

So yeah...that's about it.  Now that I have completely bored you all to death with this.  Carry on...read some more exciting blogs today other than mine.  Hahaha =)

Wednesday =)

It's Wednesday!  The middle of the week, and it's just the start of my work week.  But a plus is that I have the weekend off, and it is suppose to be beautiful out!  And we have tickets to bring Emma to the Circus.  First time she has been, so i'm hoping it's good!

Last night Emma's school did a Science Fair.  I was kinda not excited to go to it, but it turned out to be a lot of fun for the kids.  They had a ton of activities for all the kids to do.  Emma had a blast!

This was a bubble thing they did using a hula hoop.  I didn't get a very good picture, but they brought the bubble all the way around her, she thought it was pretty awesome!

They also had this mixture done up in a little kiddie pool of cornstarch, water and something else.  And the kids were running on top of it.  If you stopped though you would sink.  Emma liked it, but it was kinda messy! 

We went out for dinner last night at one of our fav local restaurants, and had Me and Emma's very favorite dessert...Creme Brulee!  Yumm-O!

I have to share this next photo for one reason.  I was bring Emma to school this morning and took this photo of her.

Check out the armrest of her booster seat.  It's Chocolate! YUCK!  I had given her a peppermint pattie yesterday.  But little did I know she didn't have a napkin to wipe her grubby little paws on, so she wipped them on her carseat.  To say the least we had a discussion about where we wipe our hands.  LOL 

That's about all I have to share for today.  I must say, that i'm still feeling really good since being on my meds!  I'm hoping and praying it stays this way =)

Monday!

Emma went back to school today after being on April vacation for the last week.  She was sooo excited to get back and see her friends.  I thank god that she loves school as much as she does.  We had promised Em when she got out of school today that we would take her to the farm to see the animals.  I have written about this in the past, and she just loves it at the farm. We've taken her since she was just tiny.  I always take a picture of her and Brian in the same spot every year.  I shared this photo last year, and for some reason now I can't figure out how to add this years to the collage, so i'll share the photos separate.

And now here is this year...

 

 

 

 

I just love comparing these photos, every year to see how much she has grown!  And i'm not sure where in the world 2009 went, but apparently I skipped that year getting a picture.  Darn!

 

 

Checking out the newborn baby cows...for some odd reason I didn't take a picture of them.  But trust me, they were Cauutteee!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, the farm was fun.  And then Emma got slobbered on by a cow.  LOL 

 

So I blogged last night about what I should cook for dinner tonight.  We went with bacon wrapped asparagus, steak and baked potato.  We tend to eat dinner a lot with my inlaws since they are right across the street, so that's what we did tonight.  Brian and I cooked there.  And it was super good!

 

 

I brushed the asparagus with a little olive oil, and then sprinkled with some sea salt and pepper. 

 

 

 

 

These steaks look huge, but trust me, they weren't!  They were really good though!  I have to say, Brian is a darn good grill cooker! 

 

Tomorrow we are back at gymnastics after having a week of it off!  Emma is really excited to get back at it.  I'm not sure what the plans are for tomorrow evening, but I heard tonight that our favorite summer ice cream shop opened the other day....may have to convince Brian to take me =)

Weekend Recap

Everyone have a good weekend?  We had some pretty good weather here!  Friday was goregous!  We spent the morning at home just hanging out and doing some cleaning.  My inlaws took all the grandkids to McDonalds for lunch so they could play in the playplace and what not.  Brian and I stayed home and had some pretty darn good ham sandwiches made by little ole' me.  Ha! =)  And to be honest, yes it was goregous out, but we had a really hard time leaving the house because we were addicted to watching the news.  With everything that was happening in and around Boston, it was just hard to leave the tv.  Eventually we did head outside and enjoyed the weather at my inlaws.  The girls had a blast riding their bikes and playing catch in the yard.  Then of course it was time to come inside for a break....

A watermelon break of course!!  This picture cracks me up, because Em's expression is just a riot.  Her eyes are huge, and that's definately a fake smile =)

So now i've got ahead of myself, let me back up to Thursday night.  We were busy all evening after our trip to Bar Harbor.  Brian had a meeting and that didn't get over until almost 6:30.  Then we went grocery shopping.  Came home, put stuff away, and all that jazz.  At 9:00 Emma said, "you know we never ate supper".  Whooopss!  And yes, she was up that late too.  So we made homemade pizzas.  Hey, she's on school vacation, she can stay up late and eat a later supper right?!?!

They were soooo good.  On the left we had red marinara sauce, mozzerella & feta cheese, spinach, onions and kalmata olives.  And the right is Emma's favorite, Ranch chicken pizza. 

Friday night again I was glued to the tv still watching the Boston happenings.  I was soooo glad to see that they finally got the suspect #2.  And it was pretty neat to watch the people in Watertown, MA lining the streets and cheering for all the law enforcement officers driving down the street.  Kinda gave me chills. 

Saturday was a crappy day, rain, rain, rain.  We didn't do a whole lot.  Watched a couple of movies, had a tea party and played.  I was suppose to work, but I ended up having to take a vacation day.  My brother in law had organized a benefit magic/comedy show for his fire department he works for, and my entire family was going.  Well since I work until 2am, it was kinda hard to find a babysitter for Emma.  So why not, I took the day off and got to spend the whole day with Emma.  Didn't hurt my feelings at all =)  And today, well i'm at work.  But I can't complain, cause after tonight...2 more days off for me!

Since Brian and I are both off tomorrow night, and it's suppose to be really nice again, I want to cook a really good dinner.  On the grill.  So my question for all of you.  What are some really good recipes you all do on the grill?  I know we are going to do grilled asparagus, so i'm looking for the Main part of the meal.  Chicken, steak, seafood.  Anything.  Share your recipes with me!  Please =)
