I can’t believe it’s already Monday and tonight we have Keenan’s preschool orientation and tomorrow is the “meet and greet” for the kids to see the school and meet their teacher.Time flies by WAY too fast! It’s already bad enough that the weekends go by way too quickly, but now that Keenan starts preschool next week, time is flying by at light speed! Does anyone else feel that way? Tears aside that my little boy is growing up, we had a marvelous weekend!
Before I go into our weekend, I have to say that I hardly took any pictures. I took a break from blogging and taking pictures this weekend to just focus on the present, cherish the moments and enjoy my family. Sometimes, you just need to do that!
Anyhow, marvelous is…
Keenan deciding (all by himself) that he wasn’t going to wear pull ups at bedtime anymore and wearing his underwear at night all weekend with no accidents! After hearing that his friend wears underwear at night, I think it motivated him to do the same, which I’m completely happy about!
Not making dinner all weekend! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to cook, but sometimes it is nice to have a break and not have to plan a meal!
On Friday night, my husband and I had an “at home date night” and he made a delicious dinner of Savory Zucchini Carrot Pancakes with a fried egg on top with a little a lot of ranch and hot sauce on top (leave it to my husband to overdo it on the ranch)! They were SO good and the best part is that we have lots of leftover pancakes that I saved in the freezer for another night (or breakfast)!
Having some “me” time on Saturday with a mini-facial and a appointment, along with a little shopping at HomeGoods. I just love that store!
Saturday night, we ordered pizza and had a “family movie night” for the first time. We watched my husband’s favorite Disney movie, Robinhood. Keenan sat through the whole thing (with popcorn in hand, of course!) until the last 15 minutes or so, but he kept asking questions throughout the movie, so I know he enjoyed it!
On Sunday afternoon we went to my parents’ house to swim and stayed for a lovely dinner of grilled steaks, my mom’s wonderful broiled zucchini, baked potatoes and salad. It was all SO good, as always! I wish I took a picture of all of the delicious food because my mom is a fabulous cook!
Thanks, Katie, for hosting another Marvelous In My Monday!
That’s it for today. I hope you all had a marvelous weekend!
Questions:
What was marvelous about your weekend?
Do you ever feel like you want to freeze time?
LOVE Robinhood! We watched that a few months back and it brought back some good memories!
So exciting that Keenan is starting preschool! I hope he has a wonderful day!
It brought back memories for my husband and me, too! We just got back from his preschool orientation and I’m excited for him (though it still feels a little weird)! But, I know he is going to love it!
You have quite the chef as a husband, huh? Ha Ha! I love that he overdid it w/ the ranch because Joshua will do the EXACT same thing when it comes to ranch on salads. Men!
I’m pretty lucky. My husband is quite the chef and enjoys cooking! We both have fun in the kitchen together! That is too funny that your hubby would do the exact same thing with ranch! Yes, definitely men!
I SO wish SOMETHING could get my Rylnn excited about going to the potty, but he is just so hard-headed, I think he’s decided he’s not going to do it no matter what, so he won’t. It’s so frustrating!
Keenan went through that phase, so we just dropped the whole potty thing for a while until he decided one day that he wanted to use it! Hang in there! It is very frustrating, but he will use it sooner than later!
I think what was so marvelous is that we had NO real plans. Just relaxing for the first time in what feels like ages.
That sounds like the perfect weekend!
We finished getting all the last minute stuff on our baby registry over the weekend, which was a pretty marvelous feeling. 🙂
And since I’m very pregnant right now, I don’t particularly want to freeze time. Although, sometimes when Dave and I are enjoying a fun dinner out I think I’m going to miss those nights when we have a baby in the mix and I do want to stop time for a minute. But then I get pregnancy related heartburn and I think I’m ready for time to move again. haha
I remember that feeling, it is marvelous when you get all of that done!
Haha, I can totally relate on not wanting to freeze time when you are pretty much ready to pop! I felt the same way towards the end of my pregnancy with my son! It will be here sooner than you think!
I got to spend some quality time ALL BY MYSELF at the beach on Saturday!!!
That sounds wonderful!!
