Weekend

Posted byJanetPosted inlifeTags:, , , ,

I always think in my head how much fun I in a weekend and I should really post it but of course get lazy and don’t. So here is a glimpse of this weekend before I get lazy again.

Friday

I was feeling mopey and wrote my last post

Dan took me and and Scott to my favorite lunch place, Pad Thai in St Paul

My friend, Gloria, dropped off some very thoughtful gifts which were greatly appreciated

Pretty flowers, brownies, earrings, and a thoughtful card šŸ’•

Dan took me out to dinner to Meritage and then afterwards went to KJ’s Hideaway where we listened to a great Brazilian band

At Meritage
They had a birthday card for me!
Our first course, the salad was ok. I don’t really love salad but we always get it for Dan. I did order a couple of oysters and those were delicious!!
Our entree was the chicken, can you believe both of these plates are one serving? We always share our courses and when this came out I was super happy we decided to split this too because it is huge!
This was a very tasty chocolate with pistachio dessert
We headed downstairs for some after drinks and music
Hi

Saturday

Dan and Logan had basketball, I decided to go since I rarely go because I usually have Scott to watch but he slept in and Dylan was already up to help watch him in case he woke up. Saw my friend Christina whose son is also in the same basketball team and was able to catch up with her. Funny, she is one of the few people I trust Logan with and he always gets happy and shy when he sees her. I love how he interacts with her and he really lets his guard down and is himself which is really rare and makes me super happy. Her son and Logan have known each other since they were 1.5 years old so it is so nice to see their friendship strong and seeing Logan happy with his bestie around.

Went to a comic fest at the local little mall we have here. Saw so many of my favorite comics and was able to chat with a lot vendors. Most were really nice, but some felt condescending as if I haven’t been reading comics and graphic novels since the age of 5 and don’t know which comics are actually valuable and which aren’t. I picked up my brother some toys I knew he would love for Christmas.

Ran random errands

Dylan had some mock trial event at school so he was gone for like 5 hours, but he had so much fun and won in a raffle.

Dan surprised me and ordered this for me! I recently went on a Disney trip and have been obsessed and must go back. I am still hoping I can go again next year but now I am torn between going for Halloween again or go for the holidays. I tend to like wearing hats more because the Mickey/Minnie Ears give me a headache

Hung out with friends and played games

Sunday

Ran more errands and cleaned the carpets

Kids played outside for a couple of hours

Dylan and Logan played outside forever. They went sledding and built this snowman. Both of them love the cold and even if there was hardly any snow out they made the best of it. Logan was so cute and whispered to me, “Mommy, keep this photo forever and print it because I want it in my memory. Next time I want to be the big brother helping Scott build his first snowman of the season.”

Went to celebrate my friend Jen’s birthday at the new supper club in St Paul called The Apostle

When you walk in you see this artwork. I liked the lookalike Jason in it so I quickly snapped a photo
They have a cute piano bar. The Pianist was on break at the time, but this would be fun always
The cute Tiki Bar
I got a Mai Tai and Dan got some Passionfruit drink. Both were very tasty and super sweet
Enjoying my drink
With my friends (from left to right) Jen (birthday girl), Gloria and me
I was so hungry I forgot to snap the relish plates, salad, and bread and butter dish that was going around. We got the hen and baked potato to share. I really enjoyed all the food
This was my dessert. I loved our meal but this dessert was just ok, I don’t know what I was imagining when ordering but it wasn’t this lolol. It was tasty so maybe now that I know what to expect I won’t be so judgy towards it
My friend’s ice cream dessert was very good! So many yummy ice cream flavors
More pictures of the place
The entrance
My friend Jen snapped this of me in front of the Jason picture I liked in the beginning

It was a great weekend and am very happy Dan, my family, and my friends were able to get me out of my slight slump. My In Laws are coming into town so it should be very interesting this week. I actually do love my in laws but I hate hosting so I will feel better once Thanksgiving is over. My birthday is on Friday and while I feel blah about it I am super excited to see what kind of cake Dan got me. He always gets me the best cakes with a fun theme. It is a surprise every year and I really look forward to it.
