I didn’t get in ANY kind of exercise yesterday (other than being on my feet running this way and that at work) but that’s ok. I made up for it this morning…sort of.

Jason was speaking at a meeting last night so Regan and I had time to hang out together while he was gone. We watched the rain fall down…

Then we watched Monsters Inc. which Regan LOVED! Can’t you tell…?

Then Jason was home and we had a late breakfast dinner.

Regan was super happy her Daddy was home!

After some family time together (last night that Regan’s an only child) we put the Monkey Girl to bed and got down to business, but we had a little mishap on the way to couch time…

YEP! When Jason opened the top drawer to get the movie out the ENTIRE thing just dropped and snapped and broke and all the movies crashed to the floor. I guess we need a new armoire?? We got the mess cleaned up and it was time for pie – homemade apple pie that is.

And Brad Pitt!!

I can’t believe I hadn’t seen this movie before. It was FANTASTIC and SAD and BEAUTIFUL and HEARTBREAKING and…Gabe just couldn’t take it. :lol;

This morning Regan and Gabe had their very own play date on the floor of our bedroom. I think it went over well.

Then we got up, got dressed and headed out for Saturday morning breakfast as we have done every Saturday morning for…ever?? I had my usual as always.

And a cup of hazelnut coffee (times 2)!

I’m kind of a creature of habit I think.

Gotta go take a shower and head out to my nephew’s birthday party. He turns 3 today and the ENTIRE family is turning out for the celebration. Plus…LINSEY COMES HOME TODAY!!!!! We miss her so much and can’t wait for her to be home.

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Don’t forget – today is the last day to enter the Good OnYa Bar giveaway so hurry up and enter already!

Now – a song I used to blast in my 1995 Cutlass when I was in high school! Enjoy…

Ask the 2 year old what she wants to do…

We asked Regan what she would like to do with Mommy and Daddy while Sissy is away at camp and she answered matter-of-factly with no thought to the question…

“Go eat at Sweet Amatoes!”

I guess tonight what Regan wants – Regan gets. Because eating at Sweet Tomato is exactly what we did. It was weird being at a restaurant (one that’s sort of become “our” restaurant) and having an empty fourth chair.

The whole meal felt a little “off” but on the other hand…Regan was much better behaved without the competition for Mommy and Daddy’s attention while Linsey is away.

I started with a pineapple salad and bleu buffalo potato salad.

I added chick peas and black olives to my salad and loved it, but did NOT love the bleu buffalo potato salad. You couldn’t taste the bleu cheese and the “buffalo” part was way too hot for me. FAIL!

Then I was going to try their rosemary potato soup, but the sign above it said “non-vegetarian” so after questioning the manager he pulled out the recipe book and informed me it was made with chicken stock. BOO!

I went with the pasta ragu instead.

After adding a sprinkle or two of red pepper flakes this dish was awesome and I went back for a second serving. Thankfully the plates are small! I cut the spicy by munching on a sweet corn muffin.

Dessert was a new treat…orange creamsicle lava cake topped with vanilla soft serve.

I lucked out and got this dessert straight out of the oven. I love hot pie or cake or brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. WIN!!

We’re home now (in our jammies) and watching the cartoon Olivia. Once it’s over it’s bedtime for the Monkey Girl. Then Jason and I are going to watch Legends of the Fall.

According to Jason I’m the last person on the planet to see this movie. I guess I was too busy watching Forrest Gump (they came out the same year) and enjoying Tom Hanks saying “Me and Jenny goes together like peas aaannnd carrots.”

G’Night…
