Some Firsts

The weekends have been leaving me feeling more tired than a 70 hour work week waiting tables. Come Monday, I feel like I've been on a week long college binger (or so I've heard)! This weekend was especially crammed. 

Step aside fair goers. We have arrived.

Z's gpar's, AKA my parents insisted we join them at the Puyallup Spring Fair and I am so glad they did! I have no recollection of going to the fair and it was much better than expected. I recommend everyone hit it up with your tots! Much to his gma's dismay, Z was too young to ride ponies, ride the carousel or care about the petting zoo. But, he really likes watching other kids and getting carried around so for Z the fair was double awesome. 

This little curse word wouldn't stop eating so Z could pet him. I almost complained to management.

In other news, I am starting a veggie garden. It is itty bitty and that will only allow me to kill a small amount of vegetation rather than a crop size amount. I am not what one calls "green thumb". First, I plotted where the bed would lie with some sharp instruments such as a shovel, a rake, and a pick ax. Then, K built a box to fit.

As if starting a blog and a garden is not enough. I have decided to try meal planning. I spent some quality time with the cookbooks, made a grocery list and went shopping for the ingredients. The objective is to save money, save time, and eat better. Tonight we made shrimp with sausage and peppers with grits on the side. I have never eaten grits. Pretty sure I botched the h word out of those lil' hominy bits. Still, it was neat to try something new.

And I am spent. Have a restful night everybody.
