Chris and I went out on Saturday , dinner and bowling. Diner SUCKED. Well the food was good but the service was horrid!! We went out bowling after and despite the fact we both totally suck, we had a great time. I hope we can do it again soon.
We had to laugh at ourselves though. We started our big date at 4pm and were home by 9:30. I think we are getting old!
Chris parked on the street last night because our landlord had his truck in the drive. This morning he went to go to work and saw that. No one around. Thought it was a hit and run.
He came up and got the camera, took pics just as car pulled up and a little old lady, her husband and this young guy got out. They were the ones that hit our car.
Apparently, there was a dump truck in the way, the little old lady tried to go around without seeing if the path was clear or not. The young guy was in his truck in the open lane. She hit him forcing him into our car. When we had come down, they were gone because she was nice enough to take this guy and his kid to drop the kid off at school then came back.
So the Police came, the old lady was found at fault for failing to pass safely or something.
We are waiting for a tow truck to take our car in and a rental. The guy hit our car and bent the steering mount. Bleh
98 levels... Between the two of us, and I'll admit right now it was mostly Chris, we completed Super Mario World on the Wii yesterday! Super Mario World came out in 1992 and neither of us had played it in YEARS and YEARS!
It was fun to play and remember all the old secrets! Chris knew way more then I did of course! He is like the Rainman of video games!
Christopher and Chris practiced the old traditional game of tossing the baby onto the couch.
So our date didn't go exactly as planned.
The original plan was to go to Arby's for a quick bite then to see Stepbrother then Dark Knight.
Chris was suppose to be here at 2:30 so he could shower and change after work. He didn't show up until almost 3 which at first I was getting a little annoyed but he had a good excuse. He stopped at this little chocolate shop and got me a box of mixed truffles and dark chocolate almond bark! We left the house just after 3 and went to Red Lobster. He got the king crab legs and I got a strip steak(I can't eat seafood). We also had dessert which pushed us over on our time budget. We ended up missing Stepbrothers but that's ok. We walked around the mall a bit before Dark Knight came on.
Dark Knight, what a movie!! 2.5 hours but not one point in it was there a moment of "when is this movie going to be over?" Heath Ledger... Amazing! Creepy and just an outstanding performance! This was a "must see in theater" movie!
It was really a great birthday date! Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair done at 1! YAY!
Not the weather but I just LOVE having a guy who can work on a car. There is just something so sexy about seeing my hubby all dirty and greasy from replacing the suspension in his car. I don't know if its just the ultimate masculine image or what. The last couple of Saturdays he has replaced the suspension, rewired his sterio, done basic maintenance and car wash. Today he is replacing the rear swaybar. I've always been attracted to guys who are hands on and boy did I score with my hubby.
Some ladies may be sleeping with the mail man.... I'm sleeping with my mechanic!
Chris's current job title right now is Manager Trainee, which basically means he works all over to learn the job. As of Monday, his new title will be Sales Manager! Small raise and one step up in the store! I think he has mixed feelings and there is some cons as well as pros to the job but none the less he is working his way up. Hopefully a his own store will be in the not so distant future and a new start in a new town for us!
Congratulations Chris, I am so proud of you!
Dinner was simply amazing! We got to the restaurant and they brought us to our table at the back of the restaurant. It was quite busy and needed an updated interior decoration but the atmosphere was very nice. Our waitress was a bit new but did her job very well. It was busy and you could tell she was getting a little bit flustered.
The meal was incredible. We started with a nice light salad. I had Caesar and Chris had a green salad with a Parmesan peppercorn dressing. Both of our dressings were made by the house and I've never tasted a Caesar as good as theirs!
Next we had escargot in mushroom caps. Chris had never tasted escargot before and although he thought they were a little weird, he enjoyed them. They were not exactly what I am used to because there was so much juice from the mushroom caps but I thought they were good as well.
On to our entree. Chris had two lobster tails, cheddar mashed potatoes and white asparagus with a light hollandaise sauce. I had the house special of prime rib, baked potato and the asparagus as well.
My prime rib was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth, creamy and buttery. Just perfect. I've never had prime rib as good as this. Chris was amazed by his lobster as well.
Our desserts, I don't even have the right words to describe the burst of flavour from mine. I ordered a mixed berry cake and Chris ordered the Tiramisu. His was perfect, probably one of the best Tiramisu I've ever tasted but mine... Mine was an explosion of berries. A light crumb cake topped with a Chantilly cream and a mixture of 4 or 5 different berries. Each bite was heavenly!
After our dinner we went to the movies. We got our tickets for the 9:30 Don't Mess with the Zohan and Chris played a few games in the arcade before the show started. The movie was very funny, definitely for the Adam Sandler lover. We had a 20 minute long intermission, though, because the projector stopped working half hour into the movie. Despite that, we had a great time.
We got home at 12:30 and collapsed in exhaustion from the night. We couldn't of asked for a better anniversary!
Today we decided to pick up some popeyes to go and head down to Central Park to eat. The food was good, the kids played and I snapped a few pictures.
It wasn't until we got home and I uploaded the picture when I realized something funny. Not haha funny but odd. There was a nice smudge over the left side of all the photos! Hmm what could of caused this smudge? I bet he is a little less then 3 feet tall and goes by the initials CWLB!
These kind of remind me of The Ring, with Chris all blurred out.
The Good: We had a great weekend. Chris went to connecticut on Saturday so the kids and I vegged out in our jammies all day and watched movies. I made brownies and later ordered pizza and wings. Elizabeth slept with me in the big bed which was a big treat for her. Sunday I did a major deep clean of my kitchen and pantry. I got rid of a bunch of boxes and put all the soda cans down on the porch.
The Bad: While cleaning, I think mostly cleaning the floor, I strained my back. I sneezed this morning and the pain in my back brought tears to my eyes. Thank god for my parents who sent me a big bottle of Canadian drugs! Robaxicet is little happy pills for my painful back!
We got the swing set yesterday. Chris and Mike took about 4 hours to get it all setup. After it was done, we had dinner then had to run to Walmart. It was pretty late when we got home so I didn't get any pictures of the kids playing on it and well today it is raining. I got a few pictures of the men building.
Unloading the box
Chris and I got new phones yesterday. He was going to try and get me a Centro PDA but they were very expensive so he got me the next best affordable thing! A Rumor by LG. We got the little black ones and I just love the slide down keyboard! It does pictures and video, music and all the regular stuff. I love that it fits in my adorable Vera Bradley Cell holder(which a PDA would not) so I can keep it nice and clean.
We got a great deal thanks to Chris's friend Jesse so props to him! I wish it was sunny outside, I would put some pics and video of my kids. In the mean time, I did the most ghetto thing I could think of... I took pics of my background on my monitor! It looks almost like real!
Now off to download some ringtones!
HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!! 3 fans, mist bottle and many baths are helping keep us cool. Daddy is home now with a broken knee. It is nice to have him home but we don't know when he can go back to work yet.
Keep growing and learning little one.
I love you sweet pea
Your speaking well these days, using your words more then whining. Its nice to know that I'm teaching you somethings! Its starting to get VERY warm and we've had a few very hot days already. You look so cute in your new summer outfits, sunglasses and sandals!
Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 2nd anniversary on June 5.
Keep growing and learning my sweet girl
I love you
Well Chris came home and announced that because of that stupid bitch Peggy, he got fired! This is total bullshit. At least we have some money from the taxes and Chris can get unemployment if he needs it.
Read more...It's November now and you had your first Halloween. You were so adorable in your seal costume! I loved to watch you crawl around with your little flipper in the back!
You finally said Dada! He is so very happy and proud! You've also tried to stand alone and have been successful...even if it was only for a minute!
You finally had a doctor visit and we were surprised to find you only gained 2 oz in the last 3 months. Your current weight is 16 pounds 2 oz but gained an inch leaving you at 27 inches long.
I think it must be all the crawling you do now!
We started feeding you stage 3 along with stage 2 and added a meal of cereal at bedtime. You don't really like the beechnut stage 3 because its too thick. Gerber keeps you happy.
You've also started using a sippy cup and although sometimes you need help to tip the cup back, you are doing pretty well with it. You love juice!
I love you punkin
Halloween 
Your now 5 months old and I can't believe how much you've grown! Your 15lbs 5oz and 25 inches long!
Its getting very hot outside and inside too! We need to love it while it lasts because winter will be here before we know it! I wish I could take you outside more but its just way to hot for you and me! You amazed my by rolling from your back to your tummy! Now you can roll around the whole floor to get where you want! You also started laughing when we do something funny...like sneezing! Daddy's birthday was yesterday and you had lots of fun playing with Aunt Julie and Uncle Tim.
Your new very favorite thing to do is swim in the big tub with Mumma!
After a couple nights of tears, your falling asleep on your own in your crib now! We still sleep together on the couch but not until early morning. I love every minute we are together, especially when your asleep on my chest. I love the way you smell, your soft skin and how every inch of you is kissable.
I love you, sweet princess.
