Weekend Recap

Happy Monday, all! I think we're headed into our last COLD week here in Chicago. It was in the single digits this morning but should climb in temperature by Saturday which is supposed to be 41 and raining PRAISE. And I think we're in the 40s all of next week which should be amazing after daylight savings gives us more light in the evenings after this Sunday. Fingers crossed we're out of the cold-dead-ass winter phase and into the only-slightly-warmer "spring" phase Chicago loves to do. I'll take it though! 

FRIDAY

Sammy worked an earlier shift on Friday (to read Dr. Seuss to some classrooms, okay cutest ever) so he was home earlier than normal. We decided to make pizza together for dinner to hangout before he inevitably retreated to the basement for the rest of the night to play video games ;)

It turned out real janky in shape because this Italian couldn't get her dough skills together which put her in a real sour mood which turned this "date night" bonding experience into a bickering session. Luckily he went down to play video games hahaha. It was actually really fine and the pizza tasted awesome (we love the dough from Jewel!). I can't complain about him going down to play video games either because it's a time he can "hang out" with his friends which he doesn't get to do often with his schedule. And I get time to read or watch crap TV. Win, win.

SATURDAY
I got up on Saturday with no plans on the agenda and it was total bliss. I read for a while in the morning.

Did some cleaning later on. I did the bathroom and ceiling fan in our bedroom and tidied up around the rest of the house in the form of dishes and laundry.

I made our spring cleaning list and our spring bucket list. And updated our calendar on the fridge.

Henry and I went for a walk (which is becoming more and more of a struggle as he's getting bigger—he's so strong!) and then I made dinner when we got back. I used the leftover sausage from our pizza making the night before and threw it over pasta with a diced fresh tomato, seasonings, butter, garlic, a splash of leftover pizza sauce and milk. Delicious.

Henry and I took our showers later in the evening ;) yes, people, I take him in with me. Some people think this is weird. I get soaked when I give him a bath, so I may as well just shower at the same time and hit two birds with one stone, OKAY?

Since Sammy was working, I decided to have a date night with myself. So I poured some cranberry wine, made popcorn, and watched rom coms until he came home. I watched Somethings Gotta Give because I want to BE Diane Keaton's character in this film more than anything in life. And then SATC 2 because I haven't watched it in forever. Yes I know it's not good but this SATC fanatic thinks anything SATC is good, so BYE.

I had moved upstairs to finish SATC 2 in bed by the time Sammy came home, so after it was over we hung out in bed for a while before falling asleep. My favorite memories from this house is going to be the time we spend talking in bed. I just love it so much. And it's such a lovely reminder knowing we can do that wherever, no matter what house we're in, that it will continue throughout our lives.

SUNDAY
Sammy ended up taking a sick day on Sunday which started him on a four day weekend. We spent the morning together before going our separate ways for the day.

I went downtown with my girlfriends to see a Disney Acapella show because we're five years old ;) We had an early dinner at Broken English before the show for some tacos/nachos and a pitcher of margaritas.

The group was really good! And it was a fun outing for these Disney lovers. Plus I always love an excuse to hang out with my ladies (even though we were missing one!).

Looking at a slow week and weekend with nothing on the agenda. I'm not usually left with a wide open weekend schedule, so I'm trying to see if there's something I want to do! I've been wanting to get a library card at our library since we've moved, so I may have to pop over there. We're really wanting to see Captain Marvel, so I'm wondering if we can sneak that somewhere in there. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend! xo
