Weekend Recap

So our date night was a lot of fun. We headed downtown to the arena district, and had dinner at Ted's Montana Grill. We both had the filet, salads, veggies, wine, and dessert. With bellies full, we walked over to the Arena Grand theatre to see what was playing. Nothing really tripped our trigger, but since we tend to pick comedy, we decided on Zack and Miri Make A Porno. As it turned out though, we didn't make it. It was an hour until the movie started, and Barry and I just decided that with our full bellies and the wine, we didn't want to just hang out for an hour. We had a few errands we had to run, and besided that, we don't see my mom that often...so we wanted to go home and sit and talk with her. That was a good decision on our part, because it seemed like we didn't get much time to talk other than that!

Anyway, even though we were headed out to dinner that night, I made a nice hearty meal for Mom and the kiddos. Can you guess what it is before you get to the last picture?

Mushrooms & potatoes...

Carrots, celery, and chicken

Chicken broth, milk, flour & butter

And what does all of this come together as???? Go ahead and guess....

Chicken Pot Pie!!

Can I just tell you that I have NEVER made this before? In fact, I don't remember ever even EATING it as an adult...only as a kid. But I have this wonderful little cookbook that my Candian friend Sarah sent me for Christmas last year, and I have not made a thing out of it doesn't turn out AMAZING. So I decided to give it a go. Boy was it worth it...and so easy! Too bad it's gone, cause it sure sounds good on a blustery day like today!

After watching the kids at gymnastics on Saturday morning, we headed to meet Jessie for brunch, and then to Best Buy to pick up the Wii. Yes, Kendall has finally saved her half...I can't believe it! That girl saved like crazy! So you can only imagine the excitement in the car as we headed to the store! We picked it up and headed home so I could get to my massage on time.

My massage was EXCELLENT. I only booked an hour, but she worked on me for an hour and a half...and DIDN'T charge me for the extra! Woo hoo!! And even better...we are going to work out a trade so we can both get more frequent work done! I am so excited!!! And she's right in town, too. That is so cool, I can't even begin to express it to you!

Mom left a couple of hours later, and we were all bummed that she was leaving already...but we understood that she wanted to get home to get some things done. After she left, Barry and I went to town, hanging all of the things I've collected to decorate Noah's room...and with any luck, I'll get to post the pictures this week. I still have to polyurethane the window trim and get the blinds hung. But soon, peeps...bear with me. I'm almost done!

Then we spent all of Sunday cleaning out the basement, throwing things out and listing things on Criag's List. I listed 12 items yesterday! Shoot, I'll tell ya...that takes a long time to do! And of course, we took some time to play the Wii. Kendall and Noah are having so much fun!

In short, we packed a lot into the weekend, and were able to cross a lot of things off our to-do list. But here's my question...why does it seem like my list isn't any shorter????
