Chick-fil-A!

If you are from the Wichita area then you should have heard by now that Chick-fil-A has opened up a location out east! I remember going to the mall and eating it when I was young so I was really excited to have one back!! (Apparently 1/2 of the city feels that way too, because there was an unbelievable line when we went!) Good thing they have a toddler play area! ;)
E was also making silly faces while we waited on our order~
 For as packed as the place was we had no trouble getting a seat and the food was ready very quickly! We were in and out of there - including some playtime - within about 45 min! Impressive! It was so yummy, just as I expected! Elena keeps asking for it pretty much everyday for lunch now! :)
Later that evening we dropped Elena off at my parents for a sleepover while Robert and I had a much needed date night! I think we calculated that the last date we had been on was probably 4 months ago!! We went to a movie - The Hunger Games - which was fantastic! I read the books last summer and literally could not put them down. I finished all three books within about a week! If you haven't read them yet I would highly recommend it! The movie did not disappoint either - Robert even liked it! I would definitely read the book before you see the movie though!

St. Paddy's Day.

Things were pretty laid back this St. Patrick's Day, it's just not as exciting when you can't drink green beer! ;) But I made up for it by making green cinnamon rolls and green milk for breakfast!
Elena thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Green icing/milk mustache. :)
It was just a relaxing Saturday for us with a few errands. I had big plans to do rainbow cupcakes and shamrock activites but they just didn't happen this year. Oh well, I've got them all pinned on Pinterest so I can just look them back up next year!! ;) We decided to have dinner at Old Chicago while we were out and about. Elena was excited to show off her shamrock shirt and even got a fun necklace while we were there!
Apparently the day wasn't quite so laid back for Elena...she fell asleep on the way home (about 7:00pm) and stayed asleep until 10 the next morning! 15 hours of sleep!!! Can't remeber the last time she has slept that long!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

20 weeks!

Believe it or not, I have reached the 1/2 way point in this pregnancy! Woo - hoo. Too bad the next 20 weeks will probably be hot, hot, hot! :) I've been taking pictures with Elena every 4 weeks to document the bump...I just wish I would have picked a room with better lighting, or even outside, to take these pictures but now I really want them all in the same place so I guess they will just be a little grainy. Here is my 20 week picture:
 I'm not sure what happened this past week but I feel like my belly doubled in size suddenly!! I have also started to finally feel him move! :) I'm getting really excited about buying baby clothes (just ask my friends and family - they think I'm crazy!) and looking at ideas for decorating the nursery. I'm leaning towards a orange, aqua, brown theme right now! Here are the rest of the pics so far...hoping for a cute little collage for the little guy's room by the end.
Another 20 week milestone happened for Miss Elena this week too! She hit 20 weeks of dance classes and got a perfect attendance trophy! It was the cutest thing ever. She was so excited and said,"Look Mom, I got a trophy! I'm going to get a whole bunch of these, maybe 10!" :)

Baby Jack!

My best friend Sarah welcomed her sweet baby boy Jack into this world last Sunday (just one day before Sarah's birthday - what a present!!) After a bit of a scary delivery Mommy and baby are doing just fine! What a cutie he is!!
I'm so happy for Sarah and Scott - Jack is going to have an amazing family! :) Congratulations!
