To gammas!

This weekend we went home to my parents’ house.  P is obsessed (OBSESSED) with my mom (well…he’s obsessed with my dad and “Auntie Bee” too, but, definitely my mom more than anyone because she visits all the time).  But he can’t say “R” sounds yet, hence the title.

Breakfast smoothie du jour.

We debated keeping him up after swimming or letting him nap in the car, but the commute to their house is under an hour so it’s not an ideal nap length.  Fortunately, he got a second (post-swimming) wind and had no trouble chatting our ears off the whole ride home.  And drumming to the marching band Spotify mix.  Yup, that’s the soundtrack of my life at the mo.

I don’t have many pics from the weekend – that’s the best sign of a good weekend right?

But Kyle has a ton from his phone so I’m going to steal his to share.

Here are my lunches from Saturday and Sunday.  My mom got a bunch of deli stuff for a sandwich assembly line, so the first day I made open faced sandos on Udi’s bread (cole slaw helping numero uno on the side).  The second day I made a salad with deli meat and avo and dried cranz.

We went swimming after P’s nap and then watched sports all day long (ok, we didn’t actually watch the MayPac fight, but we did watch basketball playoffs and the Derby).  P relished the whole family doting on him and the allowed TV time, naturally.  Oh and it was also family hair cut day! Ha!  My mom cut my hair…which inspired me to get the clippers out and do Kyle’s…which got P excited enough to request his own (which I did as well)…and now we are all freshly groomed.  😉

For dinner my dad grilled halibut and chicken and my mom roasted tomatoes in olive oil and balsamic and steamed corn.

And she made an apple cobbler, but then I served myself some and found out it had butter.  I had a few nibbles, but passed it off to Kyle and dominated some dark chocolate covered walnuts instead.

I got up really early the next morning, before anyone else in the house, and went for a run.  It felt slow because V had had a kinda fussy night so I wasn’t very rested, but still invigorated me more than anything else.

P and I split some avocado mashed rice in the morning, plus two fried eggs for me and one scrambled one for him.

Then we were off to my girlfriend’s house to meet her new babe!  She had a girl a month after I did so I’m thrilled they will be close in age.

Teeny tiny!

After a leisurely day with family support, we decided to pack it up and head home.

P examining my new short ponytail.  As you can see, his hair isn’t perfect, but toddler cuts aren’t easy – especially when you have zero training in the area.

For dinner we ordered take out sushi, which Kyle grabbed after dropping the rest of us off at home.

Kyle got sick after this and though we suspected the most obvious culprit (sushi) it turns out a GI bug has made it’s way into our family and I’m now enjoying it’s wrath.  UGH.  Dying.  I will take it two more times though if it means I could spare my kiddos from getting it.  Fingers crossed.

Silver lining?  It’s a good excuse to kombucha it up to reculture my gut flora once this crap is through (pardon the pun).
