After the Hubs worked two six day weeks in a row Emma Claire and I were ready for some quality Daddy/Hubby time! I've decided that I like having our "weekends" during the week! When we go to Target we're the only ones there, running errands is just so much easier in general, and we get to watch all of our favorite shows together! This weekend we spent lots of time together playing, shopping, and we did a lot of cooking. The Hubs was a grill master and grilled every night! He is a great chef and I love when he cooks. His meals are always so much fancier than mine! It was nice to be cooked for all weekend!
Everyone got some Moby time with Emma Claire this weekend!
The Hubs wore the Moby for the first time! How cute is this?
Our first trip to Target without the carrier! It was the BEST trip we had ever had! She just wanted to be out of her carrier!
I was also able to have my first glass of wine in over a year and a half! (Yes I was so excited I felt the need to document the occasion!) I am SO grateful that I decided to sleep train! It has really changed our lives! Emma Claire LOVES her crib now and goes down easily and the Hubs and I have had so much fun just having "us" time. We put most of our time into cooking this weekend...
Monday Night
The Hubs grilled chicken, we had half of the breasts marinated in Italian dressing and half were barbecue. We also did veggie pockets that cooked on the grill also. Those were AMAZING!
Tuesday
Tuesday night was all the Hubs. He got super fancy and soaked pork chops in a brine before grilling and made an apple compote to top them. He oven roasted sweet potatoes with onions and pepper as a side and also made hands down the BEST greens I have ever had. My man can COOK! He also made decaf sweet tea just for me because he knew I have been craving sweet tea something fierce lately.
Wednesday
Most people would think hamburgers on the grill aren't fancy, but then again they probably haven't met my husband. He can make anything fancy! For his first hamburger he added grilled onions and poblano pepper, and also had pepper jack cheese, tomato, and some baby greens. Then he created a salsa from the grilled pepper, onion, and tomato to top his second. I would just like to say that mine weren't near as elegant ;-) I like my burgers simple!
This weekend I also got a bunch of cute Easter and spring decorations that I'm itching to put out...but I'm making myself wait until after St. Patrick's Day! ha!
In response to my earlier iPhone Photo HELP post...
The wonderful Emily responded and said..."...I started over rotating it and saving it. Then after I did that I would rotate it back to where I wanted it and save it again. THEN upload to blogger..." So I went to my image that I wanted to upload and rotated it 180 degrees then saved it and uploaded it and what do you know, it worked!!! Thanks Emily, you are a lifesaver!!!

Sounds like you had an awesome weekend & you got a keeper, your hubby's food looks so good. I can't wait to start getting Easter stuff for the girls
My husband is a preacher so one of his days off is Monday so we do all of our shopping then when no one is out! I love not having to deal with a bunch of crowded stores!
Ah, I LOVE taking Callyn shopping in the Moby...SO much easier than the giant carrier. We almost never take that thing in stores anymore!
That food all looks SO yummy! And YAY for sleep training :)
That is so awesome that she loved your outing to Target. It's great that the Moby is working so well for you guys. Yay for your first glass of wine! :)
Will you explain the sleep training to me. Is there a book?
I had to laugh at the glass of wine. I married at 20. Too young to "drink". Pregnant at 21...and pregnant AND/OR nursing for the next 5 years. I was I think 26 before I had my first real drink. Hahaha!
I love it when my hubby cooks, too. He's really good...and fancy like yours. :) We are blessed girls, huh?
Hope you had a great week. Mine was super hectic and included a sick boy home...all...week. I need a break! ;)
