Happenings

Life has been busy since the end of July. School starts about week after Baby A's birthday so that means we move from party mode into school mode and both are very crazy. 

However we have managed to fit in a few fun things, so here is a quick picture recap of some of what's been going on here: 

We celebrated Uncle JJ's birthday at Red Robin and had a great time. Rascal never complained of a tummy ache and ate every bite of his food. This is very RARE for him because he gets anxiety when eating out. Red Robin is rated #1 in the food allergy community and our experience was awesome! 

I LOVE this picture of Tim and Baby A. 

I hate the lighting messed it up but it still shows that she is daddy's girl. 

I met some friends one night for a fun painting class. 

I will tell you right now that people with OCD tendencies should not be painters. I wanted mine perfect and would end up messing it up trying to achieve perfection. It was still a really fun night though. 

Here is my picture, I will tell you that it photographs well but looks much worse in person. 

I do think it was neat how they teach you to paint the picture. 

I learned a few things but I can't say I'll ever use those tips again. 

I am just not a painter and I am ok with that. LOL 

Henry.... Oh Henry! I have a love/ hate relationship with this cat. I mean I love that he is so loyal to us. I mean the cat never runs away, will greet anyone who comes into the driveway, kills numerous rodents and reptiles and follows the kids around like a dog would. I hate how he gets under my feet, he won't leave Lucy alone when she is trying to potty and he uses my flower pots as his restroom. 

However put that all aside and this cat can be entertaining. He typically chooses the front porch to nap on and the positions he sleeps in crack us up. Most of the time you will find him asleep on his back feet hanging like he is dead. 

Lucy, she is just a sweet heart. The way she loves our family is just the best thing. I am going to try and get a video of her greeting Baby A in the morning. Lucy gets so excited like she hasn't seen Baby A in a million years.Most of the time if the front door is open, she is sitting on the stairs watching out the front door. She looks like she is guilty of something in this picture. 

Tim and I had a date night a few weeks ago. We are pretty laid back people and definitely do not want to go anywhere where we will be in a huge crowd. We love to eat dinner at a restaurant that we can take our time at and sit and talk for awhile after dinner. Then we will usually go to Starbucks and hang out there with some yummy coffee. This date night we went to P.F.Changs and had some yummy Chinese food. Funny thing though, I have recently cut out all sugar and most carbs from my diet. Tim has done the same thing as support for me (My diet is a "have to" kind of thing ordered by my doctor) and to help him feel better and have more energy. So we go to the chinese restaurant where rice and/ or noodles are the primary side dish. HA! We both did really well though and told them not to even bring the rice to our table. We had Ahi Tuna (pic below) as an appetizer and I was scared to try it. After trying (and hating) sushi last year I wasn't sure any kind of raw fish would be good. Tim and I love to try new things and so I sucked it up and tried it. 

It was AMAZING!

He ordered seared ahi tuna for his meal with arugula salad and green beans and I had grilled salmon with asparagus and a side salad. 

We left dinner and since dessert or latte's are not low carb or sugar free, we headed to William Sonoma Outlet and Pottery Barn Outlet to look around. 

It was such a fun relaxing night together!
