Last weekend AJ was at a bachelor party in Boone, NC, so us girls held down the fort all weekend. How stinkin cute is this little Old Navy tunic paired with her Matilda Jane pants!? We were off to watch football and have dinner with Auntie Kell.
Her new favorite thing -- sitting in boxes and reading like she is the teacher. She will hold the book up to show her "students" the pictures. It is sooo adorable.
We got soaked to the bone after church on Sunday when our umbrella broke into a million pieces, so Panera was a MUST. That amazing seasonal autumn squash soup for Mama and mac and cheese for MJ. She has gotten so good at using a spoon!
Props to Gigi on this one.. they do their stretches all the time! hahah She will use her scratchy voice and say sssttttrreeeetttcccchhh!!
Again - boxes and books. Her happy place :)
Our newest adventure - trying to get her to stop stripping!!! She will take off her clothes (and diaper) anytime she thinks we aren't looking. It's the worst during nap/night time, so we had to go back to footed pajamas to keep from having to wash the sheets every single night. I'm sure it's going to be just a matter of time before she figures out how to get these off!
Monday I had the day off and we had such a fun girls day!! (Even if it did start at 5:45... ouch.)
I took Maddie Jane to Monkey Joe's for the first time, and she had the time of her life! We will absolutely be going back a bunch more!! We only stayed for an hour (bc we had lunch plans), but should could have totally done 2! She slept for almost 3 hours on Monday afternoon she was so worn out!
I REALLY want to get back into sharing my Menu Monday each week. This week was a short one because I am off the LA today and Vegas tomorrow (EEK!!) but I will share nonetheless...
Sunday: Edamame and Pork Shumai
Suuuuuch an easy and super yummy meal. Throw the edamame in boiling water for 4 mins and toss with koser salt. And I steamed up from frozen shumai from TJ's. (AJ got home late Sunday night, so I finally got to have a little mini date with him too!!)
Monday: Mini Chicken Tacos and Mexican Corn
Y'all Trader Joe's... I just can't stop raving about their freezer section. Every time I think suuuuurely, this one is going to be a flop, my mind is blown again. Tacos for 8 mins in the oven and saute the frozen corn and top with cotija cheese. YUM.
Tuesday: Gnocchi with Butternut Squash Sauce
Whenever AJ makes gnocchi from scratch is a huge labor of love.. so he makes a ton and we freeze in individual baggies for a quick week night meal. He then boiled cubed butternut squash and mixed it with cream and thyme and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I really could just eat that sauce as soup.
I will be MIA until next Monday .. Y'all have great rest of your week!! Pray for this Mama's heart being away from Maddie Jane for so long!
