Weekend Snapshots

I wanted to come up with an April Fool's for you, but that seems to be something I'm terrible at.  Last year we were flying out of Vegas early on April first, and I did manage to convince a friend that I had gotten married the night before.  Besides that I don't think I've ever succeeded in fooling anyone.  So instead of trying to fool you, just be warned not to believe everything you hear today!

I ended up having a great (semi) long weekend - I took Friday afternoon off to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo with my family, checked out The Publican (and discovered I now like oysters!), did a lot of walking in the beautiful weather we had, and to compensate for all of the walking, ate a lot of desserts.

My mom and sister pretending to be giraffes, learning which meerkats were dominant, and and adorable baby gorilla. Based on the timeline we're pretty sure we saw it being conceived the last time we were at the zoo.
 My sister and I are now both redheads - confusing?  And my sister doing what she says is a "Kristina pose," but I recognize as her really pretending to be Gavroche from Les Mis.  She's most likely winking behind her sunglasses.  Yeah, it's an odd inside joke.
Going for a walk down by Museum Campus with the boy, and eating lots of treats.

Here's hoping you have a wonderful week!

Weekend Snapshots

For me, this weekend included quite a bit of basketball (my bracket is already busted, thanks Gonzaga), but it's also my sister and mom's birthdays this week so I had some birthday prep work to do.  Here are a few snapshots of my weekend:

Totally normal Saturday morning activities: baking a cake and watching Gilmore Girls.  

 Wrapping some presents.  This was before the boyfriend got his hands on them.

Cake decorating, thanks for the idea Pinterest

Driving around with my sister all afternoon with a cake on her lap.

Sometimes Archer is great at pictures.

A pretty find at the thrift store this weekend, perfect for holding some of my favorite jewelry!

Hoping you had a great weekend!
