You guys. June is here. JUNE IS HERE. I know you know that – but this is a BIG DEAL in our household this year because it means that the BABY MONTH arrives is here. Baby C is due in June! Guess we’d better get our act together, huh?
Anyway, this weekend flew by. Guess when you are used to three-day weekends they’ll do that, huh? I really enjoyed it though – it was a great mix of hanging out with B (it’s only a few more days/weeks/who knows that it’s just the two of us!), seeing friends and getting baby ready.
Friday night we started with a date night – dinner at the Flying Fig. Started with their special toast and it was GREAT – cheese, mushrooms, onions and pea shoots.
And I got the soft-shelled crab for dinner. We(surprisingly) didn’t get dessert – both of us were too full! We took a walk after dinner and enjoyed the warm evening.
And we stumbled across the new Forest City Brewery! We of course had to stop in for a beer (not for me..soon!!). It was a cool place – they had a huge outdoor patio/beer garden area and it wasn’t that crowded (at last yet).
Saturday morning B and I took a walk around downtown again because it was another nice morning and not too hot. We always seem to end up in the Flats – its so nice to be able to walk around downtown and enjoy the sunny weather!
And then we got breakfast at Restore. It had been too long since I’d been there and I got an amazing dragonfruit bowl!
Then we headed to the east side. I had plans to take a walk with Nicole (my former downtown running buddy) and I can’t believe I didn’t snap a photo of us on our walk. Oh well. Instead, here is part of Nicole’s garden.
Then it was time for our Ladies Craft Beer Society! As usual, a great spread:
And here are some of the ladies crafting.
We made monograms with succulents. My C came out pretty good, huh?
That night, B and I had plans to go on another date night but ended up unexpectedly having to babysit our niece and nephew last minutes. So plans then included takeout pizza ..
Drawing and some board games. I ended up winning this one – beginners’ luck I guess? The game was called the African Star (my sister-in-law is Finnish, thus the Finnish game board).
Sunday brought a day of errands and a little bit of work catchup. So not that many exciting pictures – BUT I did manage to find an “expectant mother” parking spot for the first time in my pregnancy! I was pretty pumped to park here, especially since it started down pouring right when I got to the store.
And of course, Sunday dinner with B’s family to round up the weekend. A nice summery meal of chicken, burgers, dogs, fruit salad, corn salad, beans, salad .. yum!
And of course ended with ice cream sundaes 🙂 No pic but imagine the goodness.
Some questions for you:
- What’s your go-to babysitting food? What did you have growing up with a babysitter AND/OR what do you get when you babysit people? almost always pizza! or when i was growing up i could choose a fast food item.
- What are you most looking forward to for the month of June?
I’m linking up today with Erin, Katie and the weekly wraps.
Yay for baby month! Both of my boys were due early in the month and came early, so I have never hit my birth month, ha! I LOVE that succulent monogram! So cute!
What, time for the baby already gosh the weeks have been flying by. Ok maybe not for you. I can’t wait to see the arrival of the little one! Once baby sitting my niece we had ice cream and went a bought all kinds of toppings. It was fun cause we piled them on. Today, I’d just take them down to the local yogurt place they have all of it and no left overs, lol
Spaghetti is my go-to babysitting food. As a little kid I always thought that pasta and sauce had to be made from scratch until one night when the babysitter simply opened a box of spaghetti and a jar of sauce. I was totally shocked.
Yea, African Star is a classic board game in Finland 🙂
What an exciting month it’s going to be! I love the C you made at the Ladies Craft Beer Society night. How often do you meet? I’d definitely enjoy a crafting night. On my own, I have no imagination or artistic skills. I can’t wait to meet baby C. Thanks for linking with us Melissa!
What an exciting month ahead! Can’t wait for your Baby C posts! I love the C you made crafting. You are talented!
An exciting month, indeed! No idea what to expect or what comes next 🙂
