Making Lists: The usual weekly grocery list. It never ends...
Around the house: We came back from vacation and I went on a crazy organizing and cleaning kick. I take advantage of those when they come as I don't feel the urge often. I fixed up a ton of things around the house and felt much better. The urge has dissipatedbut now I am starting to feel the need to decorate Arthur's area of the boys' room. I've already got a wishlist on Amazon and Etsy for cute space theme decor. So far I've held off, but the urge to buy is growing.
From the kitchen: Mostly it was a week of tried and true favorites. I did experiment with pesto chicken breast packets. The recipe gave me a cook time that turned out to be less than half of what was needed. So, I had to quickly make something else for dinner that night. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.
Farmer's Market Finds: A bit disappointed with the market this week. I only grabbed some nectarines and a pound of fresh green beans (for our pulled park sandwiches on Monday).
Watching: The boys and I grabbed a few movies at the library to watch: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Pokemon movies, and Step Up: Revolution. Step Up was horrid, and I really like the first two. I didn't watch the Pokemon movies, but the boys were entertained. And the Pirates movie was better than 2 and 3. This one actually had a plot line I could follow. Not bad, although Jack Sparrow is really tiring now. On Friday, we went out with coworkers to see Despicable Me 2. Way funny! Even all the adults loved it.
Pregnancy Update: Feeling pretty good, although I am having the random aches and pains of pregnancy. Plus, Arthur is growing very active especially right after I eat. His kicks sometimes get me in just the right spot to make me flinch. I'm dreading the next two months. Hopefully he chills out a bit before making his appearance.
Wondering: How can the boys have so much energy and eat so little some days? I just cannot understand it.
From Nature: I'm really appreciating the 70-85 degree temperatures of South Bay. I love it being hot enough to go swimming and wear shorts, but not so hot that I am sweltering.
Shopping Scores: I went a little crazy today at Target buying baby things. I snapped up a cute baby blanket, some swim trunks, a set of space theme onsies, and a complete cool weather outfit. I think I need to start organizing Arthur's clothes and stop buying all the clearance items that appeal to me.
Project: Starting to really think about what we need for the baby. I'm finalizing my Amazon baby registry and thinking about making a Target one as well. I still need to do some research on strollers to see what I want/need and some various price points. I have an idea in my mind, but still need to look some up. I also want to get the crib soon so it's all set in case he decides to make an early appearance.
