First Tuna Fish Sandwich

2.28.2011

I have to admit that I am not good at doing lunch around here. We tend to have leftovers, or something super easy, but I hadn't been to the grocery store and we didn't have much to work with, so we went with tuna fish sandwiches. Again, not very exciting, but Hallie hadn't ever had tuna fish so it was a new experience for her. Surprisingly she quite liked it. I was prepared for the worse.










Tangled: Take Two

2.21.2011

Considering how much Hallie like Tangled, we were keeping our eyes out for when it hit the dollar theater. We say that it had come to Spanish 8, which has some movies that are kind of in between the big theaters and the dollar theater, so we thought we'd go. Hallie got all dressed up in her favorite princess dress, grabbed some lunch on the way over, and off we went.


Well the theater was a little scary! We had never been there, so we had no idea what to expect. We were the first people in the theater and it was pitch black, we found some seats and waited, and they eventually turned on lights so more people could come in. Though we would have rather them leave the lights off!



There were a ton of chairs that were "out of order," the floor was disgusting, and it was just gross. Needless to say, we will not be returning to the Spanish 8...but it was worth it for our little princess. :)

Cooking with Daddy

2.21.2011

Lately Hallie has absolutely loved helping make things in the kitchen. This day I think they were making cup or something, not entirely sure, but I know Hallie had a great time!


And she thought it was so great to sit on the countertop and eat her almond butter and jam sandwich...if we were all so easily pleased.


Happy 2 1/2 Day!

Our silly little girl on her half birthday! She sure does keep us entertained!


Apple

This little monkey loves her fruit, and she was so darling. She pulled out a chair and got herself an apple and sat right down and ate it. :)


Valentines Day 2011

2.14.2011

Valentines Day this year was a pretty relaxing day. We didn't do a whole lot, but it is always great to spend the day as a family
I got Eric a universal remote for our TV and cable box, and VHS/DVD player. I know, I know...it's not very exciting, but he was thrilled. :) Though we found out it doesn't work with our TV so it went back to store and we exchanged it for one that would work.

Hallie got the Llama, Llama books (which are such cute books), and they became a quick favorite.

I woke up to this beautiful flower, Martinelli's, and new jewelry. Definitely can't complain. :)

Eric had to work that morning, but he surprised Hallie with a new hippo when he came home. She loved it!

Because Eric goes to work so early, he also gets home between noon and one, so we went to a Valentine's Day lunch at Texas Roadhouse, and avoided the crowds.



Eric had been dying to go to Texas Roadhouse so it was a good excuse to go. I got the loaded sweet potato as a side, and oh my goodness, it is delicious!

After that, our day was pretty normal, we went to the park and let Hallie play,



and ate cupcakes,

and went to bed. It was a great family day.

Biting the Bullet...

Okay, for real this time, I'm going to get caught up. I'm setting a goal to be 100% caught up by July 24th. So there is going to be a lot of posts from a long time ago, so bear with me. :) I keep thinking of fun things I want to post then I realize I have a lot of catch up to do first, so I just don't post anything. Well, that's about to change...
