Happy Monday!
Was it just me, or did this past weekend come and go way too fast? We enjoyed some nice family time, good eats and Keenan’s first movie! It was definitely a marvelous couple of days!
On Friday afternoon, after Keenan woke up from his nap, we took him to see his first movie, Planes! He was mesmerized by the sight (and smell) of all of the popcorn popping when we first walked into the theater. Once we got into the movie, he was so excited to sit down and watch the movie while eating his popcorn; it as too cute! I wish I took a picture of him watching the movie, but he wanted to sit on my lap throughout the entire film! By the way, Planes was pretty good. It was a fun movie, but my husband and I both thought Cars was better. Either way, Keenan enjoyed it! After the movie, we went to a little Mexican restaurant that we hadn’t tried before and had dinner. Unfortunately, the food was not that good, but at least we had a great time at the movies!
On Saturday morning, we enjoyed some delicious Kid-Friendly Paleo Nutty Banana Bread that Keenan and I made on Friday.
On Saturday night, my husband and I enjoyed a little “at home date night,” and made some grilled plum ricotta crostini
and my Moroccan Kale Salad…SO good! The rest of the evening we caught up on some of our favorite TV shows that we had recorded.
Last night, we had my parents over for dinner. We grilled some chicken and I made a cold green bean salad with red onions, tomatoes and feta cheese, along with some whole wheat cheddar drop biscuits. Leave it to me to forget to take a picture of our lovely meal, ugh!
For dessert, we enjoyed some decadent chocolate cherry walnut brownies filled with goat cheese that were SO incredibly good! I stumbled upon the recipe a few weeks ago and it is a fabulous one. I love the combo of dark chocolate and goat cheese! I’ll definitely be making these again!
Today started off on a marvelous note because we got to see our little “Peanut” again, at 13 weeks! It was quite the active one during the ultrasound because it kept turning over and doing somersaults. Everything is going well, but I’ll be posting another pregnancy update soon!
That’s it for now. Thanks, Katie, for always hosting Marvelous In My Monday!
Also, tomorrow is the last day to vote for Circle of Mom’s Top 25 Norcal Mommy Blogs! You can vote here. Thank you!
I hope you all had a marvelous weekend!
Questions:
What was marvelous about your weekend?
Did you try any new foods or recipes over the weekend?
Awe, I love seeing the little peanut! Looks like a delicious weekend! We watched Cars for the first time this weekend and Ayden LOVED it! We were thinking about taking him to see Planes in the theater soon!
If he loved Cars, I’m sure he will love Planes. It is a cute movie!
I still can’t believe your expecting again. So exciting! Keenan is going to be such a good older brother 🙂
Awe…thank you! We are excited!
Those brownies look amazing! Love the new baby picture 🙂
Thank you! They are so rich, but so good!
