We have Sully's 9 month picture session on Thursday and I can't wait. He is going to be so stinkin' cute. We are doing them on our Park Point sandy beach. Love it.
Last night at 1:30am, Robert and I both woke up to giant boom sounds, almost like bombs going off in the alley. We got up to look and our neighbor's house was on fire! Luckily it is new construction and they haven't moved in, but it was still scary. It was a HUGE fire! I haven't seen anything that close and I was pretty freaked out. I called 911 and the fire department was out there quick. The fire knocked out our cable and power so I showered in the dark this morning and since we have no AC without any power, I am a sweating mess this morning. Let's just say that my hair today is not a good look.
Also, I am back on my mission of losing my baby belly. I have been pretty lax about it and I am starting to feel the flub. We are planning a trip to see my folks in North Carolina in December and I would love to not hate taking pictures of myself. Hahah! Wish me luck!
Now, on to things I love this week!
Morning O's! They are the Whole Foods brand of cheerios and Sully loves them. They aren't overly sweet and they are really tasty. They are a little too hard for his two small teeth, so I mill them down a little and add some fruit to them and he chows down like it's his job. This morning he has Morning O's and nectarines and he Lyle Lovesit! :-)
Tavern on France is my new favorite place to go in Minneapolis. We went there for lunch on Saturday and it was amazeballs. Their "thing" is Build You Own. You can BYO pizza, burger, salad and bloody mary. I chose to BYO burger (see? I told you I am off the diet wagon!) I made a angus burger, cooked medium with gouda, cheddar, bacon, pickles, onion straws and parmesan garlic aioli dipping sauce, all on a ciabatta bun with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Does that sound heavenly or what? Everything was extremely good and I will be back for more!
Diet Coke. Yep. The nectar of the Gods. I am just finishing my first pill pack of birth control, after not being on it for almost FOUR YEARS and AF showed her wicked face on Sunday. I am NOT loving that so I have been chugging the DC like it will be outlawed at any minute. I forgot how awful it is to have a full blown period. UGH. I am massively crampy, bloated and tired. I really don't care for it one bit. But, I do enjoy a frosty diet coke at 8am.
The guy is the most underappreciated musician in the entire world. This is Mr. John Prine. I love his all weeks, but I get into these spurts where I listen to him a lot and this happens to be one of those weeks. Every night, I sing Sully his songs. I have done so since Sully was born and sometimes it is the only thing that will get Sully to calm down and sleep. My dad sang them to me so it is extra special that I get to sing them to Sully and he enjoys them. "That's the Way that the World Goes 'Round" and "Sabu Visits the Twin Cities" are two of my favorites.
This is the beyond adorable tie that we got Sully to wear for one of his pictures on Thursday. I am so excited! One of his outfits will be these little pair of distressed Abercrombie looking jeans with no shirt and this tie. Are you just dying when you picture how stinkin' cute that will be?! Ahhh! I can't stand the wait!
This is Park Point. This is where we are taking Sully's 9 month pics. How pretty is it there? My friend is also getting married on this beach on Saturday so it will be a pretty busy place for us this week! Woo hoo!
Well, I hope you all are doing well! For those of my bloggy ladies who are TTC right now, know that Sully and I are praying for you and thinking about you guys. Hang in there! We are thinking about you preggos too! :-)
Happy Tuesday! :-)
Oh my goodness, the burger you built sounds AMAZING! YUM YUM! Can't wait to see Sully's pictures, he sounds like he will be so adorable in his outiftts!
