Snaps and Cap(tions)

I won't be winning any awards for quickness or

efficiency when it comes to blogging.  In fact, 

I realize that it's become more like the speed 

of a molasses drip this winter.  And, as much 

as I would love to dedicate an entire blog post

to each of these squares, i'm going to keep 

it brief(ish). 

we got a few really nice (no coat even!) days of 

weather in January - so we hit up a new park around 

the corner!  Max also started tumbling again 

in late January - and they brought out the 

big time equipment this time around...the bars!

we've been trying to keep up with the healthy 

eating around here - which means stops at

Fresh Thyme for lunch meat. And finally, 

we made it to one of our favorite winter time

spots - Franklin Park Conservatory for the last

weekend of their Orchid exhibit!  

 
Stacy and I have been back at the gym ...which
also means we've been treating ourselves
to a little Panera afterward.  Some might argue
this defeats going to the gym in the first place -
but i think sister time (wherever it is) is worth it!
Speaking of treating yourself (which i fully
support) - I bought one of the Rae Dunn clay
Valentine's mugs which I've been enjoying my
nightly tea in. Finally - Max has been
enjoying games of all kinds since Christmas -
and wanted to play this Pop up Paw Patrol
game for like two hours straight one morning. 

 
New silly towel from Target - they had me at cactus
and donuts. A smoothie treat from Costco because
he was getting hungry (and not pleased with the
samples that Saturday).  Another favorite wintertime
activity has become playing with Legos (this is
Rob's specialty). And soup for dinner is always
a good idea to me (this sausage tortellini soup
was ahhhhmazing!) 

 
Max is back at ZooKids for the month of March!
Penguin painting is still on-going and just
as adorable as ever! And, Auntie Stacey hooked
me up with a discount code for some items
from Abercrombie that I have been eyeing. 

 
Supper club with my favorite ladies - we tried a new
meatball place in Grandview called Palle (where
the motto is "our balls are better!")
I settled on chicken (meat)balls, with house
bbq sauce and house made (tater) tots.
They.were.AMAZING. Like, i'm still
thinking about them...and all the other
ball combinations i want to try.
I've also been reading up a storm.
I could not put down the Jodi Picoult
novel - gave me a lot to think about.
Also - zoom in on that quote my
fabulous friend Audrey sent me for
International Women's Day.  It's good.

Happy Monday!
