Okay, this time I SWEAR. This week will be so full of posts, you'll get sick of me! :) Life threw us some curve balls this week, but we are moving forward (and getting back to blogging)!
This weekend was one of the most "relaxing" weekends we have had in a while, although our version of relaxing is pretty different these days. We made an impromptu trip to my parents' on Saturday to visit and swim for a while, and on the way there we stopped in Target. Of course. We had been wanting to get Trent a little car/push-tricycle sort of thing for a while, and we decided to just breeze through the toys to see what they had. And as usual, Target totally delivered. Behold:
Before Matt had even seen the box, I knew he was going to INSIST that we buy it, and I knew we would be putting it together the moment we got to my parents' house. Since coming to America, Matt has become obsessed with pickup trucks, and he finally took the plunge for his dream F-150 when we moved to Texas. Pair that with his love of matching with Trent (outfits, accessories, hair styles), and this was just too perfect to pass up.
The Cozy Truck is totally awesome, I have to say, but it is the biggest pain in the butt to put together. We spent an hour and a half struggling with it (mostly the roof joints), and by the time we had it assembled, Trent was down for a nap. Figures. We lounged in the pool for a while until he woke up, let him "swim" a bit and then took the truck for a test drive. He LOVES it! More in depth info on the next GooGoo Review!
On Sunday we ran some errands and did some chores around the house..took Trent's truck around the block...and had a fab dinner. These days, cooking gets totally pushed to the back burner. No pun intended. So I am all about easy and quick meal ideas. My mom told us about these new bagged salads, and we decided to try them out last week. I don't usually like the bagged salads or salad "kits," but these are ahhhhh-mazing. I think we have literally eaten one like every night for a week now. They are chopped salads, which I love anyway, and they come in several different varieties. One bag is more than enough for two people as an entree, and you can dress them up a ton OR just leave them as is. I honestly think I like them better without all the additions I keep trying out. A few nights ago, we had the Southwest Chopped (Matt's favorite), and I added some chicken I had already cooked and frozen, corn and black beans. Just tossed everything, added the dressing and tossed again. And last night we had the Asian Chopped (my favorite) and grilled some salmon to put on top. OMG...drooling just thinking about how good it was. I could go on forever. Anyway..my point is. Try them out. You won't be sorry. So far I have seen them at Target and Kroger.
After eating entirely too much, we tried to just have a relaxing evening watching some TV, working on some Etsy orders, perhaps playing some Candy Crush... And then I realized...OMG...it was June 30th. Which meant tomorrow was July 1st. Which meant the day I had waited for for seven months was finally here!! The release of Crate & Barrel's 50th anniversary July teapot. Try to contain yourself.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. We just have to get through a few more days, and then it is time to PARTY for the 4th!! Add a comment »
