Weekend Highlights

We had a great weekend! I actually was off all weekend and it was amazing to spend a Saturday with the family. I was off on Friday too and Matt took the day off as well but he had to get things done on the townhouse to get ready for our renters next week. I seriously can't tell you how glad I will be when they move in and we can focus on our house. Soon soon!!!

Anyways. Friday I took Kinley to daycare around 930 so I could go and run some errands and get some things done kids free. First stop...Starbucks! I tried the Toasted Graham Latte and it was just ok. I wasn't overly impressed with it, but I am glad I tried it. I had to go to Old Navy to exchange a pair of jeans I bought for Kinley because they were too big. I got a 2T pair but she really is in 18-24m clothes for pants. I managed to find some other cute things for her of course. It never fails. I don't think it is very often that I go into a store and walk out without something for her. I also ran to Walmart to get a few things and grab lunch for Matt and I. I need to be honest! I have eaten out SO much this pregnancy. It is the only thing that sounds good that I can stomach. If you know me we NEVER eat out so this is very interesting for us. Making my weekly meal and grocery list is almost the worst part of my week since I have been pregnant. It is so hard to find anything that sounds good. And even if I do find something after I make it I really don't want to eat it. It is bad! Though I did make chicken enchilidas and homemade spanish rice for dinner Saturday. It was pretty good, though I would add some things to make the chicken more flavorful next time.

I also got to go see my friend's new baby boy, Thomas. He is so cute and has a full head of dark hair. Good thing I am pregnant because it definitely gives me baby fever. It also brought back a lot of memories being in the hospital I delivered Kinley in. We switched hospitals for this baby so it was bittersweet.

Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and had the best time. We got to ride a hay ride to the pumpkins and go through a field of horses and cows. It was amazing. They came right up to the trailer to eat the hay. And oh my word were those cows big!! I guess I never knew how big cows really were.

We let Kinley go into a bounce house for the first time. I was a little apprehensive with letting her go and was unsure how she would react. Well she LOVED it! She loved bouncy around and even face planting into the net a few times. I love watching her laugh and have such a great time. They also had a huge stack of hay with two slides in it. She loved the slides too but they were really fast and she almost flew off the slide. We walked through the pumpkin patch and picked a few to bring home. They also had a whole other area where there was a petting zoo and pony rides. Kinley rode her first pony and had a blast. We will definitely be visiting Taylor Farms again.

After we got home we all had lunch and I put Kinley down for a nap. She was beat, though she took a really awful nap. I was really bummed. She is still getting over being sick so she hasn't been sleeping the greatest. Matt went to go do some more work on the house and Kinley and I unpacked a few boxes. We bought her a swing set for her birthday but since the weather has been perfect we decided to put it up so she could get some use out of it before it starts getting really cold. Poor girl with her November birthday. We ate dinner our AGAIN, Chinese. I never eat Chinese food. This baby has really got me messed up! I am almost embarrassed as to how much we have eaten out lately. I hope it gets better and I can start to stomach home cooked meals again. 

Sunday we made it to the grocery store and finally hung some pictures around the house. Kinley and I spent a lot of time outside enjoying the cooler weather. I just love her serious face she always gives me every time I try to take her picture.

I also made an amazing lasagna for my friend who just had her baby. People talk about how amazing it is to have people bring you food after you bring the baby home so I thought I can definitely do that! I hope it tastes as yummy as it looks. Blogger fail....I forgot to take a picture of the yummy lasagna but be on the look out for Mexician Stuffed Shells coming to the blog soon. I can't even tell you how amazing these are!

Back to my regular work week this week. It sure was nice to enjoy a Saturday with the family. I can't believe we are more than halfway through October and Kinley will be 2 in a month! We are also going to be finding out this babies gender here soon too. I can't believe how fast time goes. I will be doing an update soon! Promise! Here is my first bump picture at 13 weeks 4 days.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.
