Saturday night. My (early) birthday dinner out with our friends. I had been CRAVING some wasabi (LOVE the blissful burn paired with the tang of the ginger) so everyone joined us at Osaka. Deeeelicious!
Following dinner, only the real warriors that ALWAYS have room for dessert (pretty much just me & Jill - haha!), drove down the street for some Cold Stone. My usual is the Coffee Lovers: coffee ice cream, Heath chunks, chopped almonds and caramel drizzle. Uh huh.
Craig spent a bit of Sunday prepping four pair of skis for upcoming use. Why do we each need two pair you might ask? Um... because that's how my husband works. He's a chronic overpacker and always prepares for the worst case scenario when taking a trip - big or small. "What if something breaks?" "What if we lose one?" The reality is: it didn't and we didn't. Two of the pairs just came along for the ride without every being used.
Part of the prepping involved waxing the bottoms. He does this every time before he skis. The wax coat is just a lubricant for the bottoms - he melts it on with an iron (he has an iron just for this job) and then spreads it all around with the hot iron. He also bought some special protective tape for the tops of the skis to avoid scratches and whatnot. Craig is SUUUPER meticulous about caring for his things. Sometimes it borders on the annoying, but mostly I love it about him. :)
Meanwhile, Little Miss and I spent some time fancying up her fingers and toes. Sophie's been begging and begging me to "put polish on her nails". She always calls it "polish" and often takes note of mine and compliments it: "I like your polish, mommy!" But this is only the second time I've ever done it for her. (Although the grandmothers have done it a few times.) I used a soft, subtle pink-nude called Dear Diary (OPI) and it looked really cute.
Bring it, Leandro! Sunday's late morning workout.
Arms full of children, reading The Gruffalo's Child (one of our new library books). Happiness.
Will has mastered the second grade sight words list. Ready to move on!
Sophie wanted to return the favor later that afternoon. ;-) I now have a glittery pink on my toenails... err... skin. Ha!
Craig's in the planning stages of building me something for my birthday. Can't wait! I saw the idea on Pinterest and he insisted he could design it better than that. He's got a lot of extra work on his schedule (like, the paid kind of work - haha!) coming up, so it may be awhile before he finishes. But it's going to be awesome. Love him!
Love at first coat! Zoya Tru. Kind of a goldish shimmer to this deep grapey-plum.
School lunch packing at a glance. We heart our Planet Boxes! An invaluable investment.
Chicken tortilla soup with chipotle and fire-roasted tomatoes. Toppings for this soup include: raw, red onion, cilantro, crisped bacon pieces and a wedge of lime. DIVINE!!
