Keeping busy

Weekends around our house are usually either jamb packed with projects and errands or we find ourselves searching for something to keep us busy. As the weekend approached last week I realized that besides the normal chores we didn't have much going on. I wanted to have some tentative plans so that we didn't find ourselves sitting around which typically leaves me wandering in to the kitchen to nibble.
After a great week of eating and exercise I wanted to make sure I stayed on track. So Saturday morning we got up and out of the house by 8:30! I took a fruit smoothie with me for breakfast and off we went to the local community center. It turns out we have a little gymnast on our hands.

Sorry, I can't get my picture to rotate...serves me right for blogging on the PC when I should have done this last night on the Mac!
We spent a good portion of Saturday at the apple orchard. They had so many fun activities for the Toddler including a little train ride, tractor push rides and goats. We had a blast and it was so nice to enjoy the warm weather (almost 30 degrees colder today)! 
I decided to grill some chicken Saturday night and after a little miss-hap (almost blew up the propane tank..no biggie, really) we enjoyed a very peaceful dinner out on the deck. Oh, and for those of you who enjoy beer can chicken, might I suggest using a tray underneath the chicken to catch the drippings...I found out the hard way that they can very easily start a fire. And a big thanks to the hubby who acted VERY quickly with the box of baking soda. I like to keep things interesting!
My sis and I spent Sunday morning working on her wedding plans. I am very excited to be part of her wedding but getting a plan and date has been a beast! I think it is horrible that people try to make someone else's wedding about themselves. Regardless of when or where she finally ties the knot, I will make sure it is amazing!
Sunday afternoon flew by, luckily the toddler took a ROCKSTAR nap and I was able to get this done
That is chicken and veggie lasagna, turkey-loaf with egg noodles, sweet potatoes and in the far corner the crock pot was doing its thing full of baked potato soup! YUM...I have easy to grab meals for the week. I am taking each day as it comes and hopefully I will see the reward on Friday.
Happy Monday!
