Last days - pictures

We are having a crap spring. One out of 15 days is "nice out". I don't think the temp has been over 67 degrees at all.

BUT! Last Sunday was nice. I busted out my Salt Water sandals. We went to the playground too.


Another day we went to the zoo. There's a Dino in the pond.




Today I made myself coffee since Corey went to work before we woke up. ( yay for sleeping in a little!!)


And booboo painted some pictures.



For dinner tonight I made a KICK ASS bean/ham/quinoa soup thing . It was so good and made so much that I can freeze two extra dinners put of it. I made cornbread too but it was only just 'ok' and not my favorite.

Sort of news

Yesterday we ( me and booboo) went on our first solo Costco visit . Usually we go with my mom and so it's not so hard to keep him entertained . Thank god they had some samples!!!! Even though he didn't like the samples they had .... Picky eater, ya know?
Anyway. They had a demo for a blendtec blender and it was seriously the COOOOOLEST thing I have ever seen!! I really wanted one even though my blender works great . Booboo wasn't that impressed and so we left when it was time to taste the spinach ice cream they made.

And, speaking of spinach and picky eaters, I've been making smoothies with stuff like frozen kale and spinach, carrot juice, coconut flour, beets and other stuff for boo boo. The beet addition is a little weird and I stopped putting those in for a while because it made me gag once and then I couldn't finish it. The other stuff is good and boo boo drinks them . Yay. We also like oatmeal, flax seed, nuts, berries, frozen grapes, orange juice and plain goiter. And by goiter I mean YOGURT, just seeing if you were paying attention. ( thanks autocorrect)



I'm wondering if spring weather is coming soon. Everyone is talking about their warm weather and psssshaw. It's still in the mid 40's here so TAKE THAT! or something.

Tired and rainy wednesday

It's that part of spring that's always rainy out and still kinda cold. We haven't been doing much lately because both me and booper have the snorgles. Today I can't wait for nap time , I'm really tired !!!!!!!!!!



I got the paints out for a little while so it wouldn't seem like we were watching the Netflix allllll morning.




Booper likes squishing the pants together and saying that it looks like poop.

Baking

We've been baking a lot lately.

Boo boo loves to "help" in the kitchen and making something with flour that he can SCOOP himself and dump on the floor is his favorite.



Yesterday we made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and he was so mad when they came out of the oven. He thought we were making the "shapes cookies" we made last week!




So today after nap time we made cheese shape crackers. These are so good. I sent a pic to Corey because I know he'd eat these up like nobodies business if he was here.

Now I just need to figure out how to get some veggies in here that boo boo will eat. Sigh.

Playground day.

It was nice today (( I mean afternoon, in the morning it rained sheets of rain down the street )) so we walked to the PG with Corey since he has the day off.

I'm so exhausted. Tomorrow Corey leaves to go to SXSW for 5 days so it's just me and boo boo (( and bebo )) for a while!

I figured how to post pictures on this beast from my phone so - YAY.

Now brought to you by a phone.

I got this app for blog posting from my phone but I can't get the picture to post and it's enraging me!!!

We went to the goodwill today because booboo has been asking to go either there or "waloo wilwidge" ( that's value village if you don't speak toddler). We got a little keyboard and a fake Swiss army knife thing. I got a sweater and some bust magazines!

wallingford wednesday.

it was super nice out today.
instead of our usual stroller/walk to wallingford we walked to the bus stop and rode the bus.
on the way to the playground we got distracted by the vintage tools in the window.

we never made it to the playground though......... boo boo remembered that there is a "tay store" inside of wallingford center and a "clothes store" too.

we played with "tays" for a while.
and ended up buying a helicopter toy even though i didn't want to buy anything. ( i always feel bad for hanging around while boo boo plays and then just leaving.)((but they were having a sale!!!))

we got a cupcake

ugh. the cupcakes at trophy cupcakes were BEAUTIFUL to look at but i'm definitely losing my taste for sweet things. it seems like everything is really over sweetened these days. i used to have a SERIOUS sweet tooth but i've been trying to cut out most sugar when i bake and so now i love the taste of very subtly sweet things (re:bland!!)

they have these toys at the toystore called "calico critters" . the little bunnies look soooo familiar. i think i might have had one when i was little. i wish we had a doll house here to play with. boo boo liked playing with the one there.
