Our weekend kicked off in the best way possible, with Ken making breakfast for dinner when he got home from work on Friday. This was especially exciting because it meant I didn't have to cook! He whipped up some pancakes from scratch and bacon, and all was right with the world. About a year ago, he discovered baking the bacon, instead of cooking it in a frying pan. I want to pass on the word about this phenomenon. It's a game changer.
After dinner, we retreated to the living room to let MK run and play for a little bit before bedtime. Once she was down for the night, Ken and I settled in on the couch to finish season 2 of Orange is the New Black. I didn't want it to be over, but now that we've seen the finale, I can finally say that it was one of the most satisfying season finales I've ever seen. I was nervous from hearing a lot of other people say they didn't like it, but when the big thing happened at the very end, we both yelled out, "YEEEEEESSSS!!" because it was THAT good.
I had big plans for us on Saturday. Ken plays in an athletic club that was having a tournament in Forest Park, and a high of 98 was predicted for the day. Yikes. I didn't let that stop me from cramming as much fun into the day as possible. I got up with MK, whisked her off to The Zoo, and we powered through it in less than 3 hours. She had an amazing time, and I LOVE that she is at the age where she can really enjoy doing stuff like this.
We left The Zoo at around noon, and headed over to the fields where Ken was playing. MK was pretty tired at this point, but I figured letting her run around for a little bit longer would be okay. She usually goes down for her nap at 1:30ish, so I knew we had a little extra time before the meltdown would happen. We got to sit with some friends and see some of the tournament for a little bit, while MK played with a Nalgene bottle full of ice cubes. She was pretty happy to be doing that.
After Ken's game, it was nap time, so MK and I headed back home for some R&R. After she woke up and Ken got home, we headed over to hang out with some friends and their kids. We had dinner, watched Frozen, and ate mind-blowing ice cream from a local shop. A good time was had by all.
We were pretty lazy for the majority of Sunday. I woke up and made these cinnamon rolls, which are a big favorite at our house. Ken went to his softball games in the afternoon, while MK took a very good nap. I tried taking a nap, too, but at 34 weeks pregnant, I'm having a really hard time getting comfortable and getting good sleep. After MK woke up, we headed over to a BBQ with some more friends and their kids. She got to run around outside, climb on things, blow bubbles, swing a baby golf club, and see baby kittens while I got to hang out with fun friends and eat good food. It was great!
We crashed HARD on Sunday night when we got home. I am pretty sure the rate at which I put on my yoga pants must have set some kind of world record.
It was a great weekend, and I'm glad we're able to get out and do so much before this next baby comes. The weather is supposed to be beautiful all week long, so I'm sure that a few trips to the playground are awaiting us!
Happy Monday, everyone!
