Weekend Recap

I originally planned to do a day in the life post Saturday and Sunday, but due to my lack of picture taking, I decided to just do a recap post instead. After the busy holidays, we were looking forward to a quiet weekend with no big plans.

Saturday morning we woke up and Shawn made some fun pancakes for Em. My mom had gotten us cute pancake shapes and a special container to pour the batter from.



After breakfast, we got ready and headed out to run some errands. First stop up was Hemispheres. It's a furniture/decorating store. Shawn's mom had told us they had a big selection of wall art and it was all on sale through Saturday. We've been looking for something to go the wall in our dining room, so we thought we would check it out. We had a a lot of luck. We found 3 metal piece to hang behind the buffet in the dining room as well as a frame to go in our bedroom - a room that has been neglected since we've moved in. All the wall art was 50% off , so we got some great deals!

Here's the one in our bedroom.  Obviously, I need to order pics to change out the ones that came with it.


And here are the ones in our dining room.



After leaving Hemispheres we had one more stop to make before heading home. We stopped by Lonestar Baby to price out some baby furniture. I think if we have a girl, we'll just use Em's furniture and buy her a big girl set, but if it's a boy we'll buy a new crib set. I don't want white for a boy. I was disappoainted to hear they stopped carrying the Stanley furniture, but we were able to find a few other brands that we liked. Now we just need to know what we're having,

After a quick stop through the Drive thru at In-N-Out burger, we headed home to eat and take naps. Well, Em and I took a nap. Shawn did chores.

That night, we went out to dinner at Matito's and looked at the Christmas lights in the Frisco Square.  This was the last day they were up, so we wanted to make sure we didn't miss them.  Em loved walking around and seeing the "snow" that was falling from the top of the buildings.

Sunday morning we woke up early and Shawn headed out to grocery shop while Em and I got ready.  When Shawn got home we took Em to see her first movie in the theater.  We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks.  I've been wanting to take her to a movie for a couple of months now, but we just now found the time.  We weren't sure how she would do, but she surprised us and made it through the whole movie.  The popcorn we bought her played a role, I'm sure. 

After the movie, we headed home for a nap and to get some stuff done around the house. Shawn hung the pictures (well, 3 of the 4) and I did a TON of laundry.  At night, Shawn grilled out steaks - something that's been sounding so good to me lately.

So that was our weekend of no plans.  :)
