Pictures from the weekend

Dave and I went out last night to Citizen Kane's for dinner, then we had drinks at a wine bar and then finally we went to see the movie Taken.  We had a great evening.  We needed a night out.  

Now I am making a grocery list and trying to figure out meals for the week.  

Here are some pictures:

This is my new haircut:

Great Day yesterday

I had a great day yesterday.  Now only was it gorgeous out I was busy all day.

In the morning I went and worked out at the gym.  My butt is killing me today.  I knew I was forgetting something when I left for the gym, but I couldn't figure out what it was.  (I was going to shower after I worked out).  As I was driving, I realized that I forgot my brushes, so I stopped at Walgreens and got a brush.  I had a great workout and was in the locker room emptying out my bag and I realized that I forgot my bra.  I was so pissed.  I had a whole afternoon or things planned but there was no way I was going to run around without a bra.  So after I had lunch with Dave, uncomfortably bra-less, I ran home and got it.  Then I went to Hancock Fabrics to get some fabric for Samuel's rocking chair because I need to fix the seat.  

After the fabric store, I got my haircut, which by the way I think looks great.  Maybe I will take a picture tonight.  I don't really like pictures of myself, but I may post one.  

After my haircut, I went to the salon and got my eyebrows and bikini waxed.  It was an awesome day.  It was so nice to pamper myself.

Tonight, Dave and I are going out.  I planned an evening, so I can't post about it because he only knows that we are going out.  I have to be ready to leave by 5:40.  It will be nice to go out for the evening.  

Well, I am off to relax for a little while before I have to get ready.  

Day of Freedom

I am trying to figure out all the errands I am going to run today.  I had a cup of coffee without interruption from Samuel and now I am checking email and relaxing.  

I think I will go to the gym and then Dave and I are going to lunch just the two of us. 

Well, I am off.  Have a great Friday.

11 months old

I can't believe it, but I have an 11 month old.  He is getting so big.  Last night we went to his swimming lesson.  I would post pictures, but Dave told me I wasn't allowed to because he was in the water with Samuel.  I know they both had fun.  I am thinking I will bring a book from now on and read for 30 minutes while they are doing their lesson.  I am also trying to talk Dave into just taking Samuel by himself that way I would get about a hour or so at home alone.  We will see.  

I have lots of errands to run today.  

Oh by the way, I joined Facebook.  I can't really believe how many people are on there.  Crazy.  I feel so old and totally out of the loop.  

Here are some pictures:

He is making baskets!

Facebook

What do you guys think about Facebook?  I have gotten several requests to be friends of people I know on Facebook (including just recently Jamie.  Hi Jamie!), but I don't know if I should sign up.  

Updates

Update:

The food I made for the Super Bowl was yummy. The Buffalo Chicken Wings were really good and everything else was tasty.

Samuel is better, but still not 100% healthy.  I am not taking him to Stay and Play today.  Hopefully by tomorrow he will be healthy enough to go to swimming lessons.  

I am now on 2 waiting lists for Mothers Day Out programs.  I am super nervous about taking Samuel, but I figure if it is one day a week, he can handle it and so can I.  

I called to set up appointments for this Friday.  My spa lady doesn't have an opening on Friday for a facial.  Boo.  I am upset, but I guess I can deal with it.  I changed my haircut appointment from next Tuesday to this Friday.  I figured I would try to get as much in that day without having Samuel around.    Maybe I will do a little shopping too and go to the gym.  I haven't really decided.  

I have been terrible about taking pictures of Samuel this month.  In 2 days he will be 11 months.  I can't believe it.  

Here are a few pictures.  Samuel does not wear socks anymore around the house.  He hates it.  I think he likes to have bare feet to help him get ready to walk.  He is taking a few steps, but that is about it.  The most steps he has taken at a time is 4.  

This is his new monkey outfit.  I got it because our friends daughter Taylor had a birthday party and the theme was monkeys.  So, I got Samuel this outfit and even though we couldn't go to the party, I still put him in it so we could pretend like we were there.  (Dave hates the pants.  I have to agree, they are a little funny looking).

Here he is with his socks and of course the TV remote:
Samuel, Dave and George:

Super Bowl Sunday

You know, I really don't care that it is Super Bowl Sunday (other then the commercials).  I only care that Dave and I win the super bowl squares that he picked for us in the work pool.  When I was at the grocery store this morning I picked up some of the 3D glasses.  Hopefully we will see something cool on the commercials after the 2nd quarter.  Samuel thought I looked hilarious in the glasses.  

Samuel is feeling much better.  He still has a cough, but his nose isn't running and he hasn't had a fever in a couple of days.  The only disgusting thing about his sickness is that the medication that they gave him makes his poops RED.  I mean really red, it is disgusting.  I thought you all might want to know that detail :)

This morning I finally took George for a walk.  It was a little difficult because there were lots of black ice and the sidewalks were sheets of ice.  I was slipping all over the place.  It wasn't much of a workout for me, but George loved it.  

Since we can't go anywhere for Super Bowl Sunday, I have decided that I will try to make a few things myself.  I am going to make chicken wings, queso, french onion dip and lots of veggies.  I bought stuff to make a pizza too, but I think we may have enough food.

Oma and Opa are coming in town this coming up weekend.  Since Samuel has been so sick, I am in desperate need to get out of the house and have some alone time.  Oma is coming in a day early (Thursday night), so tomorrow when the salon and spa I go to opens, I am calling to see if I can get in for a wax and facial.  I'll let you all know the status.
