I’m doing a little victory dance right now. (<--- That video will never get old!)

We had a fabulous day in these parts. I felt more rested than the past couple of days. Things weren’t hectic around here at all today. We also had a play date with our good friends, Danielle (for me) and Riley (for Makenzie).

Girl time certainly helps break up the day nicely. Danielle just ventured into stay-at-home-mom territory and I can’t wait to spend more time hanging out together. Our little girls love each other too!

After our play time, I made a simple lunch of leftover soup with a slice of 9 grain bakery bread topped with a slice of swiss.

I always have the most difficulty deciding what to eat for lunch. Thank goodness for leftovers that make for simple and satisfying meals. Although I don’t consider it quite as satisfying as my lunch “dessert”. I always enjoy a square of dark chocolate with a cup of decaf coffee during their afternoon naps. It’s my little moment of heaven every day. You think I’m exaggerating? Ha! I love it so much I didn’t even pause for a picture of it. That’s how much I enjoy it.

Now, I have just finished munching my afternoon snack of Chobani and an apple.

I seriously can eat this snack every day. It does not get old. Ever. Plus it makes for the perfect pre-workout fuel and I need that as today marks the start of something exciting for me.

That’s right. Today I am officially beginning the Couch To 5K program. So, with that…I’ll catch you later.

Question of the Evening – Is there a snack you can never get sick of? And have you ever done C25K?

I had no clue what to title this post, so I just went with “No Clue”. Don’t you just love my creative genius? *cough* Yet again, I need the sarcasm font that is yet to exist.

So, did you all have a fabulous weekend? We sure enjoyed ourselves around these parts! It’s amazing what a social life and some sunshine can do for a person.

Some of our good friends invited us over for dinner on Saturday night. I could not turn down a chance to get out and enjoy the company of some of my closest pals.

It was a full house with us girls, the husbands, and the four kiddos. In my opinion, a house full of friends is never a bad thing. Just like dinner cooked by my friend Angie is never a bad thing. She prepared a wonderful salad and pasta dinner for us.

What goes better with salad, pasta, and a Saturday night than a small glass of wine?

Nothing. That’s what I say. Well…except for maybe a small plate of dessert…

Lemon curd pie and a “magic cookie bar”. They’re magic because they’re super duper healthy! I like to play pretend like all of our little ones too. 😉

Today the good stuff continued. We went to church in the morning, with plenty of time to spare. It felt nice to go unrushed. The afternoon continued much in the same calm demeanor. I leisurely went grocery shopping without children. Then, took in some sunshine and 70 degree temps with the family.

The park!!! I have missed the park. Free and fun family entertainment? My kind of way to spend the afternoon. And the perfect way to break up the ickiness of January and February.

It felt incredible to get outside. What’s that you say? Oh. Rain tomorrow. Well at least we got out while we could!

Question of the Evening – Did you get to enjoy nice weather this weekend?
