WEEKENDING


Over the weekend we-- put up our christmas lights, watched movie trailers on iTunes, bought groceries (including kale- I'm nervous!!) cleaned the apartment, took a photo for our cards and have gotten a little closer to finally checking everyone off of the 'ole Christmas list.  I always put too much stress on myself when I wait until the last minute to do everything, but seeing as how it happens every year, I guess it's safe to say I haven't learned my lesson yet. ;)

    I've put kale in soup before. I made something similar to zoupa toscana that they have at the olive garden, if you've ever had that. It turned out really good!

My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
