621. Being able to laugh at my own kitchen blunder. So excited to try a new recipe tonight, Reuben burgers made out of pinto beans. Andy graciously ate almost his entire burger, and I nearly all of mine too, when he got up from the table and started looking around the kitchen sniffing out the offending ingredient. This ingredient turned out to be bread crumbs that expired in 2010! I asked with much concern because I rarely eat anything after the expiration date, "Are we going to be okay?!" He explored around on the Internet and didn't find much of anything to be concerned about, other than what we knew about eating expired pancake mix.
"I've heard people have died from eating that!" I said.
Lily asked, "Are we going to die, Mom?"
"Hmm..., I really don't know! Guess we better call everyone tonight and tell them we love them just in case! Sorry, everyone! Leave it to Mommy..."
"It's not okay, Mom!" Lily said with a smile. Andy and I were in hysterics. Emmy was just confused. It was her lucky night, having not had one bite of her burger in the 15 minutes we had been sitting at the table while I harped, "Eat your burger, take a bite of your burger." Turns out she's the only one who's safe - and quite confused, might I add, that I took her burger away and said, "Don't eat that burger, you can't eat that burger!"
A few hours later, so far so good, aside from a few burps!
622. A fun and laugh-out-loud funny weekend.
623. Watching Emmy in her first gymnastics class, and being escorted into the gym hand-in-hand by her big sister Lily.
624. Emmy's facial expressions while she jumped on the trampoline that had Andy and I cracking up.
625. A haircut, so long overdue!
626. Receiving a gift certificate to the very place I already had an appointment at for my haircut.
627. A night out with my husband and friends.
628. A big thanks to Nonna for being with Harlee, Lily and Emmy so we could enjoy ourselves knowing our girls are safe and loved.
629. Seeing all our friends smile and laugh, a great night out for everyone.
630. Pancakes, fruit salad, and giggles with Harlee, Lily and Emmy this morning after the girls woke up.
631. Mimosas outside on the patio this morning with family and friends at Betty's Nosh.
632. Putting the girls down for a much needed nap, and having some of our own grown up nap time;)
633. Getting to spend time working in the yard together, the Arizona sun warming my skin despite the cool winter breeze. Feel like I'm finally winning my war on weeds. Made a big dent in yanking them out today while Andy repaired sprinkler heads. Looking forward to more time in the yard next weekend.
634. Spending uninterrupted time with Emmy in the playroom tonight, being silly and laughing just watching her laugh. Even if all the laughter was over how funny Emmy thought it was that she asked me to smell her finger, which I did, and asked, "Why does your finger stink?" to which Emmy said, "Because it was in my butt!" to which complete hysteria broke out. Yep, that's our Emmy, the honest comedian!
635. Seeing how happy Lily was to have uninterrupted time with Andy tonight learning how to play a game on his iPad.
636. Knowing I'm going to be sleeping in my bed in half an hour from now.
637. Running my first mile and a half - working my way up for my first 5K in a few weeks! I have only been doing 1 - 1 1/4 miles but pushed myself to go a little more on Saturday. Felt like I went into a different zone for the first time, a nice warmth creeping in all over my body and more ease than I've felt before.
638. A Friday night sharing red wine, dark chocolate, and a game of Zilch together while the girls watched The Sound of Music, all of us in bed by 9:30pm. Ahhhh, a perfect night after a work/school week.
