1. Weekends at home... ahh!!! It's STILL busy season, so any little break I can get is welcomed. Last weekend I was a single mom, but somehow I managed to get way more accomplished than when Andrew is here. I missed him, of course, and don't know how single moms do it. I think I attribute my getting stuff done to just actually committing to FINALLY check some things off my "Home Projects To Do List". I refinished a small desk, painted the shutters, painted a chair, pulled weeds, and got to spend lots of time with the little man. This weekend I have a a couple other painting projects planned and hopefully can start on a sewing one as well.
2. HEB Sushi - I know it may seem gross to some people to buy sushi at the grocery store, but I LOVE HEB Sushiya! I just am sure to eat it the day I buy it. I've never gotten sick. :-) Yum Yum!
3. Amazon - If you haven't signed up for Amazon Mom, check it out! I buy just about everything on Amazon these days. No tax and free 2-day shipping. You can't beat that! Not to mention you can get some AMAZING deals. LOVE IT. (too much) I like to buy stuff just to get packages in the mail. It's fun!
4. Carson's new car seat - It's still sitting on the living room floor, but it's beautiful. It's even prettier in person than it was on the computer. I just like looking at it. :-) I can't imagine if we had gone with a normal size infant car seat at the beginning. He would have been out of it in 4 months and this post would have been a long time ago. I also can't imagine how a 35 pound baby could possibly fit into his carseat now, the Graco SnugRide 35. Carson's close to 25 pounds (I'm guessing), and the straps seem to have come out all they are going to come out and I can barely get him in there anymore. Add 10 pounds, NO WAY! I think part of his problem is that he's just about to the height limit of 32". Heck, he may have passed it. He was 29" two months ago. His head isn't over the top, so I figured it was still okay.
We went ahead and went with the Boulevard for my car since it's older. I'll take any extra protection I can get. If we like this seat, we'll probably get the Marathon for Andrew's truck. THANK YOU to Wannie and Papi for the car seat!!! :-)
5. Fresh berries - I love blackberries. I love blueberries. I love strawberries. Fresh is a must, frozen only works if you're making a smoothie. What's super cool is that we will have our OWN fresh strawberries this year! We do have some red ones now, I just just haven't taken a new pic. I ate the first strawberrry out of our garden last night. Delicious!
Happy Friday Everyone!!!
Almost forgot two more AWESOME things....
1. Having family an hour away that can watch Carson when I go to Houston. Carson has so much fun at Wannie & Papi's house. Well, not really at the house because he hits the town when he visits! Pictures from all over Houston on Carson's first big shopping trip with Wannie & ViVi to come later! They literally shopped til he dropped! [Hi Mom... wish you were closer so you could do the same thing. :-( sad face]
2. Fried fresh bass filets and homemade French fries (i.e. our dinner tonight!!!... jealous???)
We have a Britax too. :) Actually, we have two of them...one in each car. LOVE THEM! They are so easy to get the kiddo in and out and they tighten nicely, and loosen nicely...hence, holding them in nicely. :) Oh, and I also love HEB sushi (when I can get it, which means really twice a year when I'm back in the US). And your picture of the strawberries makes me long for the strawberry fields to be ready to pick NOW! There are some great fields around our town where you can go and pick strawberries and eat all you can while doing it! It is basically awesome...and I can't wait to take Amelia this year! I have to be sure she wears black or something dark since strawberry stains are tough! ;)
