How was your weekend? Mine went by so quickly! I am linking up today with Heather, etc. so go right here to see more Monday posts.
First off, my niece turned 12 on Thursday and I sent her scrunchies, a set of beauty treatment face masks, and a clip on reading light. Here is the picture my sister took of her with all the scrunchies on at once! She is a character!
So, our Friday night Valentine’s celebration was really low key! One son went bowling with friends and I made bow tie alfredo for the other. Hub got sloppy joes, brussels sprouts, and potato wedges because the restaurant we had gone to a week ago took sloppy joes off of the menu. He was so happy!
Saturday our son had a long day of academic team competition and they placed 3rd out of 8 teams, I think. Our son made it to state for language arts and humanities.
Saturday after the competition our other son came home from theatre and a friend’s house.
Tom and I had a casual dinner at Crescent Hill Craft House. It was so noisy that we were ready to leave. Are you getting like that? So many places we go to are so loud.
Sunday was a lazy day with some errands including Kroger. Our son had theatre again because he is directing a play next week. I roasted some sweet potato for lunches this week. It turned out so yummy!
I also went to the library to pick up this book on hold. It seems like it will be really cute! I have been in a rut lately and have not had a good book to read.
Tell me about your weekend! I hope it was great!

Our Valentine’s Day was very low key too – I made chicken chili in the crock pot, cobbler for dessert and we watched a movie – The Good Liar. It really was good but I can’t remember if it was Netflix or Amazon!
Congrats to your son!
xo,
Kellyann

Nice! I wouldn’t have wanted to be out with the crowds. I’m sure your husband was more than happy with that! Have a great day!

Well, usual rut with cabin on Friday and girls coming out Saturday. We have worked that out well I think, they get some time off us, and then we’re all happy to spend a cozy Saturday night together! On Friday I tried to return a knitted sweater with a “almost hole” in it, but believe it or not, they would not refund it – that would never happen in America! Your customers’ service is the best! Then we bought some expensive ice-cream at the supermarket which turned out all icy and bad – I’m going to try to show the receipt and get a refund, wish me luck! Sweden needs to learn from you!

Nice routine you have going! Do girls take the train? We do have great return policies here.
Try to take that ice cream back for sure!

We had a fun weekend; my husband and I went shopping (for clothes and fun!) then out to dinner. I think it’s cute that your husband wanted sloppy joes; I don’t think I’ve ever seen them on a restaurant menu.

I hate to clothes shop with hub. He is so slow! Our roles are reversed! It isn’t often you see them on a menu – Pioneer Woman’s recipe wins again! I’m glad you had fun! I’m having trouble commenting from my iPad and need to figure it out!
