Great Weekend

We had such a great weekend. Friday evening I dropped Kirra off at Nana & Papa’s, and I went to Card Club (we make homemade cards) and Jason was playing poker. I got home and met his poker friends, and they are all very nice.

Saturday morning I woke up, and finished cleaning, and then ran some errands and did some wine tasting at the liquor store. There was a very great Pinot Grigio. So I bought two bottles!!! The work party was last night, and it went off without a hitch. I think everyone had a great time. Jason got wine glasses and I got some m&m’s and california baby products. SO i was thrilled. It was kind of like I got both gifts :P.
Today Jason and I slept in until 10:20am,and then went over to his parent’s for the Vikings game,which was terrific! I got to take a nap as well for a few hours after the game, so it went really well. Kirra was happy to see us. We also got to enjoy grandma’s terrific tacos as well. Miah and Amillie came over too.
This week should be fun. I plan on taking the bus tomorrow morning to catch up on some reading! Have a great week everyone!

Soup da loup

Well I’ve been cooking soup all day long! I got up around 8am and have been cooking soup since 8:30am. My mom and dad came over to help chop vegetables, pull meat apart, and ensure I was adding the different ingredients at the same time. Plus to make sure I added just enough of our secret ingredient.


Jason, Kirra and I went to Adventure Park today, and boy was it busy! We didn’t stay for very long at all. MAYBE and hour? There were kids everywhere, the parking lot was jam packed, so it wasn’t too fun, even though Kirra seemed to still have fun.

After that we exchanged some movies at Blockbuster, and went to Toys are Us looking for a bouncy horse for Kirra. The cost on the bouncy horse was a little much. Maybe she can have it for Easter or after we get our tax money back, so we settled on a chair instead for her. It’s a purple plush chair with Dora the Explorer.

Once we got home we had soup for dinner, cleaned up a bit, and now Jason is reading to Kirra, it’s way to precious! Once the little woman goes to bed Jason and I will watch “My best friend’s Girlfriend” with Dane Cook, and eat popcorn.
