I finally splurged and got myself a new phone! It’s the cheapest S21 out there but I’m loving the smallness already. Nothing new but the selfie camera is dang clear. Technology just keeps getting better and better!
Took a couple of days for Emmy’s egg to hatch! I would like a refund. The chick looks NOTHING like the picture. She named it after herself. So silly.
Some goodies I’ve had this week that are worth mentioning.
My yin yuern — it’s hard to find this exact brand so I’ve been having BIG cups worth. I’ve also been craving a lot of raw vegetables.
Flaming hot cheetos mac & cheese is actually not so bad. But the red makes me a little worrisome.
Snow crabs, octopus, and surf clams dipped in Yummy Seafood’s seafood boil sauce. This has been the cheapest way of getting my seafood boils in. Buy the sauce and prep the seafood by myself..
I’ve taken Emmy out a few times to walk Rizzo but a few times, the weather was not cooperative. We sat outside watching the rain in the backyard though.
I took Thursday off so I took Emmy with me to run errands. We dropped off a package, got Starbucks (Dragon Drink makes the coconut milk SO pink!), Hobby Lobby to buy shirts, and Cane’s. She had a LOT of fun and slept a great bunch afterward. When I got home from going out, we walked Rizzo.
I was able to sneak off to meet up with Frankenstein during her nap at Menchie’s. I haven’t had frozen yogurt in a long time so I was excited! We sat and talked for two and a half hours before I had to head home to help Emmy with Kumon and to walk Rizzo.
Emmy and I had also stopped at my work parking lot to meet up with Patrick for a package from Ricardo. Jose was coming down to visit his family so Ricardo gave the package to him, who gave it to Patrick to give to me. I didn’t know how much was really in the box until I laid it all out. I am still hesitant to try the candies but I will report that this type of beef jerky is the best I’ve ever had. It’s crunch, hard and super thin. SO good.
June and I were off on Friday so we helped Dad out housework before we left and hung out at Target for a bit. Then we went and had lunch at IHop. Their menu is now one time use. The menu is smaller and they even have potato pancakes. Those were bomb.
Emmy and I made our Disney t-shirts and I made one for June as well with a different design. I did accidentally put June’s design on mine so I had to run to Hobby Lobby Saturday morning to buy another shirt for myself so I can put on my Disney On Ice one as well. Now I have matching shirts with both June and Emmy.
I had lunch with Frankenstein at Crown Seafood. I over ordered (it’s a given) but I had been craving dim sum for a LONG time. We had a good two and a half hour conversation before I had to go.
I went to Mallory’s, changed, then we met Beth at Capri’s for a mani pedi. I hung out at Mallory’s for a bit before leaving. It was nice to get away from the kids. Now I know how parents feel.
This morning, when Emmy woke up, we got ready and headed over to Harry’s Restaurant to have breakfast with Sissy and BIL.
Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS. My favourite were their fries. I know that me saying that makes it sound like their food sucks but the seasoning they use on the fries was freaking amazing. I already want to go back. I love that they have a covered patio.
We went back to Sissy and BIL’s for games. They mostly played and I tried to relax and figure out tickets/parking for Disney On Ice. Emmy and I changed into our matching t-shirts and had a photoshoot in front of the fireplace. Bruno wanted in on the action.
We met Mallory and JJ at NRG stadium. We walked around and got our and went into our seats.
The kids loved the light up wands Mallory got off of Amazon for $5 each. Tips to everyone that’s going to go:
- You can bring your own light up wands and glow sticks.
- Since we had kids, we brought in snacks and drinks.
- Only kids can dress up in costume. We thought that meant, adults couldn’t have mouse ears but that didn’t seem to be the case. Bring your ears!
- They said it’d be cold but we didn’t wear our jackets. Emmy just had her thin jacket on. It was colder outside than inside but bring something just in case. You never know!
- We got there an hour early before the show started. This helped us not have to stand in long lines.
They had so many characters there! I kept being amazed at how they’re able to skate with their costumes. Some were even up in the air spinning around. It’s all so crazy but all so cool.
We had taken group pictures with Ariel. Worth the money since we get a digital copy too. She had so much fun she passed out holding her wand on the way home.
We ended the day with the chore chart and for doing so well she got a surprise. She can’t play with it until tomorrow since it’s bed time but she’s excited.
It’s been a VERY eventful week. I am SO pooped and excited to go to bed soon. Hope the little girl feels the same!
