The weekend haps

What is better than a long holiday weekend? Not much! Not even the crappy winter weather put a damper on it.
  • We hit up the movies a couple of times, one flick of which was Kung Fu Panda 2.
  • Shopping at Gateway and Belgium waffles with friends, twice! I adore this place. They have a cute rooftop patio if you are into al fresco, which I am! Rob had the vanilla with speculoos (a graham cracker spread that is amazing!!) and Noah and I had vanilla filled with Belgium chocolate and topped with whipped creme fraiche. To. Die. For.
  • Amazing Sunday dinner with grilled filet mignon topped with chimichurri made by a friend who hales from Argentina. We fell in love with chimichurri at a fancy restaurant in Vegas and are always craving it.
  • Park City for a scenic drive and new summer duds for Robster.
  • Lots of sleeping in.
  • Cafe Rio.
  • Rob and I watching DVDs with the fireplace ON!
  • Getting the pool ready for TODAY since it is now warm and sunny. I love that my second job is to take care of the neighborhood pool.
In duck news the ducklings hatched right on schedule!! Noah told me they hatched and that he saw them (I don't really know how much he saw??)

We went and looked together and he showed me the broken egg shells and the mama was still sitting on the nest, I guess keeping the ducklings warm while they dried out. I think I saw something yellow sticking out from under her??

She was a little hissier than usual and we kept checking on them until finally they were gone.

This is all that was left, some feathers, egg shells, and an unhatched egg.

I walked up and down the river outside of my neighborhood unsuccessfully looking for them. Next time we deserve to see them and get some cute little pictures. I am still hopeful they will come around as we usually see ducks in the mornings (and they love the pool).
The only thing that could have been better was if I hadn't been sick. Ugh! The plus was that Rob waited on me hand and foot, I hardly had to lift a finger, yet I was still well enough to pretty much go and do everything we had planned. My husband rocks!

What To Do...

This weekend Rob is going out of town for a little mountainbikingtestosteronefest in St. George.

I've been trying to figure out what the little man and I should do to make it a superfantabulous weekend for us. We won't buy a new car, we won't paint (I am planning to re-paint a couple of walls sometime when Rob is gone...because he doesn't want them painted...he is scared the walls will look like a thick paint mess...since they have had three different colors on them...they are still in good shape and will be fine so I will just do it when he is outtathehouse), and there aren't any cute new movies out.

Looks like we might hit some take out/go out and the Redbox this weekend? Joe's Crab Shack has been calling my name for some BBQ crap/coconut shrimp...and it feels like a vacation when you go there! Or maybe Incredible Pizza or Boondocks might be fun? So many options...even if it still is winter and we won't be playing outside (yes I am bitter it is still winter- and so is Noah!!!!).

Whatever it is I'm sure we will have fun.
