Us, Lately!


We've been busy the past few weeks during my unintended blog silence. Here's a little peek at what we've been up to!

::ONE::

Way, way back a month ago, we spent spring break at my parents' house. If you had told me when I was 16 that I would actually plan and enjoy a spring break in my hometown, I would've called you crazy. Yet that's exactly what we did. We played at the great community park (with a real retired fire truck that's been retrofitted for kids to crawl all over!), hung out with Sugar and Granddaddy, and ate snow cones. It was great!

::TWO::

Speaking of my parents, last weekend they treated us to Disney on ice last weekend. It was so much fun!


Side note: I often find myself telling Jack to stop making the exact same face I'm making in that family pic. I have been baffled until now on where he picked it up. Poor kid.

::THREE::

The first nice day with nothing on our calendar, we high-tailed it to the Fort Worth Zoo. They have an exhibit on right now called GIGANTABUGS which is quite like it sounds: gigantic replicas of bugs. Especially creepy ones are the scorpion and tarantula. The tarantula is hairy and probably as big as two mid-size SUVs. And they all move. {Shudder}

Not everyone appreciates a good selfie on the train.



::FOUR::

I've still been going to Pure Barre religiously. Back during the Olympics, they were having a contest regarding social media check ins and attendance, so I was checking in on Facebook everyday. My friends were like "did you stop going?!?" Nope! I'm still there almost every day, but I only post sometimes. Right now I'm dying (exaggeration) over these blue Splits59 crops and waiting for my studio to get them in.


::FIVE::

I cooked my first whole chicken using this recipe from Fort Worth Moms Blog. It reminded me of cooking a pot roast, once I got past the mental block of sticking my hand inside the chicken. Maybe I should stick to pot roast. The chicken was delicious though!

  1. That's a great selfie. Mine never look that good! I have been wanting to get to the FW Zoo for that exhibit, too.

    1. You should take your little guy. He will love it! I was probably the only one in my family who was all "YUCK" (and of course I kept that to myself.) The first one as you walk in by the flamingos is the grasshopper. He's really cool!

  2. Awesome family pic! I cannot bring myself to go to the Gigantabugs exhibit. Jason said the other day we have that same kind of exhibit on our back patio every night. :P

    1. If bugs give you the heebie jeebies, I might skip it. Seriously, the tarantula and scorpion are SO BIG. Ladybugs and butterflies--I'm good. But the others? NO THANKS.

  3. I love the gigantabugs. And more importantly the twins LOVE the exhibit. Especially the beetles. They just sit and stare at them in aweof them.

    1. You are a better boy mom than I am!!! I really could've done without the tarantula being SO big. And, I nearly left the zoo when I saw the scorpion. NO THANKS! :)
