Weekend Review!

With the arrival of Baby G getting closer and closer Mr. G and I are spending some good quality time together as a family of two before becoming a family of three.  We are also required to stay close to home so while our family members are at their respective lake places we are hanging here in Minneapolis. 
It has been fun doing some new things and some things we haven't done in a while, this weekend was a great one!

Friday night we were very domestic and took a trip to Target and to the grocery store in order to stock up on some things that we needed.  I am trying to get some of those things crossed off my list so we don't have to run out after Baby G arrives.  Once we got home we made a frozen pizza and relaxed, I was in bed early...shocking.

Saturday morning my wonderful husband got up and made us a yummy breakfast, he made a breakfast pizza and served it with watermelon. 

 

After breakfast we left for the Minneapolis Farmer's Market, I am trying to get out and walk more to help move things along a bit so I thought this was a good way to get some exercise and pick up some yummy fresh veggies.  The first farmers market we went to was so busy and didn't have any of the vegetables on our list so we ventured to the larger farmers market and had some fantastic luck!  We scored red potatoes, red peppers, onions, asparagus, a bouquet of flowers and some sweet corn.  I wanted to take some pictures but it was so crowded that I just left my phone in my pocket.  Bonus...we scored a fantastic parking spot after looking for a while.

Saturday afternoon I enjoyed a nice long nap during a rain storm, it was wonderful!  When we thought the rain was done Mr. G and I went to Lake Harriet for a little ice cream treat, the rain started again and we had to make a dash to the car with our ice cream.  So we ate it in the car...no biggie.
We rented a couple of red box movies Saturday night, so after a delicious stir fry for dinner we settled in to watch The Butler with Forrest Whittaker.  It was great, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. 

Sunday morning Mr. G and I went to church at the Lake Harriet Bandshell and then we did something I've never done before...we went to Canterbury Race Track to see the horse races.  I didn't know if I would enjoy it or not but I have to be honest, it was kind of exhilarating to see how fast they moved and the sound of their hooves was really cool.  We aren't much of gamblers so we each bet $2 on each of the races we watched, only 4 races.  Unfortunately we did not win a dime but we had a great time.

 

Sunday evening we invited our sister in law and nephew over for dinner, we had a low country boil.  I have had it on an outdoor pot but never tried it on the stove but it turned out great.  For those of you who don't know what it is...you boil water with Old Bay seasoning, put in red potatoes & sausage for 10 minutes, add corn for 5 additional minutes and then shrimp for about 4 minutes.  It turned out great and dinner was very good.  We served it with cocktail sauce and a remoulade that Mr. G whipped up.



Another week is upon us and we are within 10 days of Baby G's due date, just crazy!  It is a short week and we are both looking forward to a nice 4th of July weekend, if we don't have a baby yet;)

With love,

Mrs.G
