Weekend Wrap Up(s)

Our weekend have been pretty relaxed for the most part. For example, two weekends ago we did a little shopping and stopped for lunch at our favorite Mexican place-Chipotle before heading to our niece, Emma's indoor softball tourney. We headed to Jefferson Pointe for some shopping at Charming Charlies and Bed, Bath and Beyond and then stuffed our faces with delicious golden burritos. Well, actually I stuffed my face; the hubs had a salad bowl. Check these pictures out and allow your mouth to water!

After Emma's softball tourney we headed to dinner with the family, including my MIL and FIL. Of course we went to no other place than a Mexican place...I am almost positive we are going to turn into Mexicans because we eat it SO much. Really, I am not exaggerating here!

While it may be Spring for the rest of the USA, it has not quite made an appearance in good ole IN yet. We did have a couple warm days last week and were able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. I was so happy to feel the warmth on my face and see water-not snow! Being slightly homesick for Florida and tanning by the pool, going for a walk with the hubs really lifted my spirits. We knew there were tons of trails and hiking paths in our county so we went to the closest one we knew of and started out. The path starts out as a boardwalk going over some swampy looks lands but I am not sure they can be called swamps. See, in my mind to classify a body of water as a swamp there must be gators and snakes...this area has none of that. Once you are past the boardwalk the path opens up as a paved walkway and it wraps around one of the many lakes in our area. You can also ride bikes on the trail/path which the hubs was pretty excited about...though I am not sure why, since we do not have bikes! Regardless, seeing low lying water, lakes, birds and feeling the sun put me right back in Florida. I could close my eyes and pretend I was there...it was so beautiful! Here are some pictures I snapped on our first walk of Spring!

This past weekend was pretty productive. I like weekends like that! Saturday started out with leftover omelets from dinner on Friday and they were delicious! We had a couple errands to run and then we were headed to North Manchester for my hair appointment. I had been looking forward to this appointment all week and had suffered many bad hair days in the days prior! I was able to snap some before pictures of my hair, but I have not gotten a good after one yet. I think I just need a few days to get used to styling it myself and perfect it before letting you all see it. I do like it though! After the appointment we went and got some smoothies for lunch that were so good. The sun was out, so I just pretended it was warm and I was in a tropical location while drinking it :) Pineapple, strawberries, oranges and coconut? Yes please!

I have had the itch to plant some things for a couple weeks and I finally gave in. We headed to Menard's to get what we needed and I got my fingers dirty on Sunday. We are starting the plants inside, and I hope we have luck with them. Right now we have cilantro and impatient flowers planted. The seeds should germinate in about 2 weeks so I will report and let you know what our progress is! I usually start out with mature plants, so I think the only thing I have ever grown from a seed is a bean or something we did in elementary school in a plastic bag. Do you know what I am talking about? Anyways, here are our lovely plants as of now:

I also was able to make some yummy snacks for the coming week. Hello apple cinnamon and blueberry muffins topped with powdered sugar! What can I say? I like things sweet!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend too. Only 4 days until the next one :) I will let you in on a secret too; next weekend our weather looks GREAT. We are talking about temperatures out of the 40's!!!! FINALLY!
