InstaFriday

First time shooting Craig's S&W 9mm (his birthday present to himself back in October).  Craig's gun collection is still pretty small despite the ginormous gun safe we've owned for many years now.
My squinty, focus-face.  Try not to laugh.  I believe this one was his grandfather's gun?
Get ready for lots of yoga pics to become part of my Instagram posts.  It is a tremendous help to see my form in various postures and target the areas I need to work on.  This is going to be my "before" pic for wheel pose or backbend.  Going to work on straighter arms and legs as my back becomes more flexible.
Craig and I got out for TWO date nights in a row this weekend!  Woot! Woot!  On this night, we went to Revolution Grille for our brother-in-law, Steve's, birthday.  The menus were on iPads (one for each guest) and the food was AMAZING!  (Craig wasn't a fan, but his taste in food is questionable.)
Oh my goodness.  Sooooo delicious!!!  Fried Brussels sprout appetizer with pine nuts, pecorino Romano and white-truffle mustard sauce.  My drink was a sparkling kiwi grapefruit cocktail.  Oh and the bread had shallots baked onto the top and tasted like French onion soup.  I've died and gone to heaven, I think.  I want to eat here every day.
Grilled mahi mahi tacos (I'd already eaten one in this pic) and a glass of Riesling paired with.  I need a girls night here again ASAP!  Casey, clear your schedule!!  We need to go!!
Will has moved up to the 3rd grade sight words list!
This revolved triangle pose is so awkward for me as a beginner.  Pretty much any pose with the word "revolved" in it (where your upper body is rotating in the opposite direction of your lower body) is not a friend of mine right now.  And when done with effort and focus, yoga is a hell of a lot harder of a workout than I used to think!
I'm pretty comfortable in headstand.  The balance poses are my strong suit.  It's the flexibility that I struggle most with.  Workin' on it!
My completely beginner down dog.  I think my hamstrings hate me.  ;)  My heels are no where near the floor and there is so much I need to fix about this picture (bringing my head further through my arms and putting more upper body weight into my fingers rather than just the heels of my hands).
Setting the dinner table... in a tutu and ballet slippers, naturally.
Many Makings honey cashew chicken stir fry for dinner.  Yum.  I love adding nuts to cooking and baking.  Any kind.  I love them all.
Borrowing a friend's Zoya Rory (the pink) accented with my own Zoya Luna (the silver sparkle).  Dig it.
Chicken gyros for dinner.  Mmm!  Thank you, Pinterest.
A favorite read this week:  a book of homophones.  :)
Evening yoga practice.  I tried candlelight tonight.  :)
Good morning!  Trying out Shiva Rea Vinyasa Flow (a library DVD) before work this morning.  I'm not sold on this at all yet.  Maybe down the line.  But for now, it's not my style.  And p.s. - my side angle pose (bottom) is simply horrid with regards to form.  Do not take notes from these pics!  ;)
Another evening practice.  Working on back flexibility this night. 
What hot fudge sundaes at 11 p.m.?  I don't know what you're talking about.  ;)
Zoya Aurora is almost hypnotic!  I couldn't stop staring myself into a stupor!  This is another loaner but I will definitely be buying this one.
Running ALL of his knock knock jokes by me after brushing teeth tonight.  Haha!
Playing a post-bath round of an Eric Carle coloring game before bedtime.
Choke hold?  Or hug?  You decide.
Hubby's old t-shirt.  A Christmas present from me a few years ago.  My dad and brother in law have the same shirt from my mom and sis.  :)
Babysitting Mya & Stella tonight.  So it's another Friday night round of dress up!  :)  Love the babysitting trade offs with my sissy!!
My go-to dinner when the cousins come over:  BREAKFAST!  It's always a crowd pleaser.
Group hug before I take Mya & Stella home for bed.  Sophie's across from Will even though you can't see her.  Love these kiddies!!
