Today is one of those days that call for a random update. So I'm linking up with Carissa over at lowercase letters. This new blogger layout has me all confused so no button today.
~1~ We spent Wednesday morning getting our garden put in. W has been working some crazy hours so he had the morning off and we figured there was no better time to get it done. We ended up planting 6 different types of pepper plants, 5 tomato plants, 1 spinach plant, 6 celery plants, 1 eggplant plant, on top of our already planted blueberry bushes and strawberries. I can't wait for harvest season to begin! And it looks like this year our strawberries will come in early which means I will actually have time to enjoy them before little miss comes along!

Look at all the strawberry blooms already!
~2~ This past weekend we spent our first night away from LB. It was wonderful! I'm not going to lie and say I didn't miss him like crazy but it was so so good to get a night away with my man and actually get to connect with one another for an extended time. We went to a super fancy restaurant for dinner, stayed at a really nice hotel, and just lounged around. We ended up laying in bed until 10am when we finally decide we should get ready before the 11am check out. Then we went to the zoo and took in an IMAX movie before grabbing lunch and heading home. A night away did our hearts good. I missed my man. And it was beyond wonderful to know LB was having a blast with some of his best friends. The Lord has blessed us with a great house church and one of the couples offered to take LB off our hands for a night so we could get a night away. How could we refuse? Not only our they great friends of ours but LB absolutely loves them. I only ended up taking 3 pictures and all of them on my phone. Oops.

~3~ LB has figured out how to start my car. He even knows what key goes to mine and how to turn it on. I'm guessing this is going to be trouble in the years to come.

~4~ I have been craving peanut butter cookies, but since LB has a peanut allergy I haven't been able to have them. Until last night. I finally decided to try sunflower butter in place of peanut butter for cookies. And my oh my they are so good! I really cannot tell they aren't the original thing. It probably also helps that I added chocolate chips to them. I mean really when does chocolate not make a cookie better?! So take that nut allergy! :)
~5~ Well LB is up from his nap. Yes nap at 8:30 in the morning. This crazy kid has thought that waking up at 5:30 is the new norm. I disagree strongly and am really hoping that it is just due to those pesty 2 year molars coming in. Have a blessed day!
I can't wait to get my garden started! I'll be planting the cooler weather things in the next week. I get jealous of everyone farther south with gardens already going! It's great that you got to have a night away. It took a long time for us to be comfortable leaving Celia overnight, but it is so nice to do once in a while. It was also really nice to have Celia go spend the night at her grandparents' a couple times when Henry was a newborn- it gave us a nice break. Something to think about for when your baby comes :)
ReplyDeleteKenzie has her 2 year molars coming in as well. No fun...4 teeth pushing through at the same time have caused her some serious pain and crankiness! Isn't it great to get away for a night?! We love to do that too every so often. Good for a marriage/family. :) Oh and sunbutter cookies are DELISH. I made them when Mr. P was just past a year. He also has a serious peanut allergy and I was so excited for him to try the cookies. He LOVED them and then he broke out! Ugh. We found out he was also VERY sensitive to sunbutter & sunflower oil. :( Thankfully he's outgrown pretty much everything except for the peanut allergy!
ReplyDelete5:30 um no thank you! Way to be creative! Your garden looks like so much fun! I wish I could have one. Of course one day...
ReplyDeleteThose are the sweetest pictures of LB!!
