This weekend although low key turned into a really nice weekend! On Friday night Adam and I made homemade pizza on the grill it was yummy and a really cheap way of having a nice dinner with using up all your veggies/left overs in the fridge. Our pizza was topped with onions, red peppers, mushrooms, left over grilled chicken diced, Canadian bacon diced, and some pepperoni. I called the it "Krissy's Meat Lover's Pizza" since I picked our toppings. I have lots of yummy ideas for the next pie we make, artichokes & eggplant....yum!!
Saturday we took Eli for his first real haircut and I have to say for a child who refused to nap in the morning he did fantastic. This kid always pull through when I expect a meltdown which is clutch! You just never know since he is not a napper, so we kind of roll the dice lots of times! It turns out Eli loved sitting in the chair & looking at himself in the mirror. Maybe because it was all so new to him things went well but whatever the reason I was grateful for his behavior. He also loved the fish aquarium they had there filled with really cool fish. I hope he never asks for a fish to be honest. I hate cleaning fish tanks and find fish to be the worst pet (sorry fish owners!) they just don't give back with cuddles and you can't pet them. 2 main requirements in my book for a desirable pet!
Randomly yesterday Adam and I thought to go on a date night so Meme' watched Eli and took him overnight for us! How nice was that? Adam's dad is on a week bike riding trip to Death Valley (I know sounds nutty right?... Adam's dad is a die hard road biker, for example, he regularly leaves the house on his bike on a Saturday morning rides into Massachusetts and returns while we are all still drinking our morning coffee!). The company for Meme' was nice to have and Eli had a great time spending some one on one time with his Meme' I am sure :) We went to see a movie called "The Town" which was really good & we had dinner out at one of our favorite tavern's called J.Timothy's. Also, today is daylight savings so the extra sleep was lovely :)
Maybe that is why my morning run today was so pleasant? I ran a 5K loop that I run regularly but for some reason today was just gorgeous. I felt great and there is something about having to put an extra layer on that I love. I am a big fan of running with long sleeves to begin with so today I layered on top of my spandex tank a long sleeve dry weave shirt and I had my dry weave Nike jacket I always wear. I felt perfectly comfortable for today's weather and there were lots of fellow joggers out today enjoying this sunny crisp fall morning which also made for a nice run!
Here is a picture I thought was cute from this weekend, Adam was picking up leaves with the tractor and Eli was crying out the slider for "Dadda" so we decided to put him on the tracker with Adam. Once he was on the tractor he was fine! I was a bit worried but he seemed to really like it. Adam has his "lumber jack" look going on here as you can see. Every fall when hunting season starts he has to grow a full beard to really get into it.... he just can't help it! hahahah...
