this weekend has been full of family fun.
life is SO much better when my other half is next to me at all times.
on friday, we spent the day bike riding on katy trail in uptown.
the weather was beautiful, as were the apartments that lined the trail. we spent the ride dreamily planning the apartment we will live in next year.
the second we arrived at the end of the trail, we promptly made our way to feast at a pizza buffet, which we only delayed for a quick spin through whole foods.
clearly, a perfect day.
saturday, sara and i hit up body blast, of course; then we headed to a BBQ for the ESL students.
mom got her baby fix in because the whole grandchild scene does not look very promising at the moment.
then, because i had still have a 25 pager to write, we headed to central market's patio because that would definitely motivate me to get some work done.
obviously, i read 5 words and then proceeded to spend the rest of the time mastering creating the perfect coffee and tea drink combination.
because i so efficiently finished all of my work could not get a single thing done, we had no choice but to peruse all of the nearby stores.
later that night, we had our traditional egg-coloring sesh. maddy (aj's girl) joined in on the fun!
don't even try to deny that my polka dot egg is incredibly baller.
easter church was beautiful and full of joy; i love the enthusiasm that is invariably present on holidays.
sara gave sweets up for lent so that means one thing: DONUTS first thing easter morning.
here is a quick snapshot of the first sugary snack.
my easter basket full of goodies that are now COMPLETELY gone.
yes, it has been less than 12 hours since I found my basket.
and yes, my parents still hide our baskets.
and the photo shoot that ensued:
then things got a little crazy.
S.O.U.L.M.A.T.E.S.
dear old dad led the fam in a horrific weight-lifting sesh at our second home.
i always begin weight days so enthusiastically and after a few ONE lift, i am COMPLETELY ready to get out of there.
we hurried home to make dinner to break our sugar comas induced by eating ten pounds of candy.
just kidding.
"dinner" was actually just an excuse to eat more chocolate.
yes, those most assuredly are double chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream, strawberries, and chocolate syrup.
now that is my kind of dinner.
lucky for you, i am spending my easter evening watching black swan and could not be more FREAKED out so i decided to write in my favorite little blog to distract myself.
i hope you are all having a fabulous resurrection day!
love.
