It is crazy how fast a week went by, we kept our Valentine’s Day low key. We picked up a sandwich from our favorite place, Cosettas and then drove around Summit Ave and ended our drive with picking up my favorite popcorn from our local theatre.
At night we ordered in from that Andiamo place I went to a couple of days ago and relaxed the rest of the night with a movie and popcorn.
One of my friends here ended up sending me a Galentine’s Day gift and it was a tasty cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. How sweet and so thoughtful!!! I swear Valentine’s Day is the best!!!
A couple of days later I had that MOMS lunch and it went great! It only ended up being 4 moms total but it was a lot of fun connecting and talking to the moms again. I hope we have more meetups like this because even though I don’t know these people it is nice that there is hope to make some friendships. We ended up going to a place called Crave and I had this yummy Pineapple Mojito that came in the cutest pineapple cup and I got the soup and salad again lol. Both were tasty but it is pretty hard to mess up something so simple.
This past week my middle child turned 5! We ended up going to Mall of America the day before to ride the rides, build his birthday bear at Build a Bear for $5, and of course got lunch at his favorite restaurant, Benihana. It was a lot of fun even though we weren’t able to have a party this year I think he enjoyed it a lot. The day of his birthday he went to school and we had birthday cake later that day. He is currently obsessed with Minecraft so we got cookies from our local bakery Dorothy Ann to pass out to his class and an amazing Minecraft Birthday cake. We have a tradition for our birthdays and we buy the jersey of a famous player the age we are turning. This year he wore Joe DiMaggio’s t-shirt jersey and it was the cutest! I love the Yankees and love these early years because they are mostly Yankee players.
We couldn’t believe how many Legos he got this year from friends and family and he has been busy building them all. He has gotten quite good and I enjoy the quiet time they provide.
Yesterday I got Brunch with my husband at one of our favorite places Lowbrow in Minneapolis and it was amazing to have a day date with him. I always love how Dan makes such efforts to make me feel special even when I tend to be more selfish and want my alone time he reminds me the importance of alone time together.
Today, I went to Brunch with my friend Jackie at a place called the Red Rabbit. The food and drinks were delicious but the ambiance left a lot to be desired. We both agreed to come back in better weather because maybe with windows open and not so stuffy it wouldn’t feel so dark and meh.
Hoping this week provides more excitement with the warmer weather, but I doubt it lololol I don’t have any plans this week besides my son’s 5 year old checkup at the doctors.
