Little Italian Lunch

Once again, Addison was not ready for that bright flash from the camera, but she was actually in a great, happy little mood this morning.

And Emerson was chilly, but she was bundled up nicely in her warm winter jacket.

For lunch today, our little work unit went out to Little Italy, to treat our supervisor to lunch for Boss’s Day, which was a few days ago. We also got her a gift certificate for a massage (wrapped in a box to throw her off), and she was super excited about that. I got baked ziti, and had a piece of my friends garlic bread, and wow it was all so yummy.

Here’s my Taylor Swift “Midnights” inspired nails I did last night, and I’m loving them. And tonight is the night!!!

After picking up Emerson, she had to sit in my front seat for a few minutes to dump the sand out of her sneakers before we could head into day care to pick up Addison.

Cuties cuddled up in a blankie outside together playing with some “grass salad” Emmie made, while I was finishing up dinner…

I made our new repeat meal of chicken Caesar wraps tonight, but tried something new for the side dish, with these little frozen mini pierogies. I liked them a lot, but no one else did, oh well…

Emmie was actually loving the weather and sitting outside all cuddled up in this super soft blanket. So she asked if she could get her Kindle and just hang out for a while longer. She ended up staying out there for about 30 minutes, while Jeff played with Addie and I washed up a bunch of dishes, and we finally had to just tell her to come back in, when it was getting too dark & too cold.

Then it was time to get the girls changed and ready for bed.

Of course these two cuties fell asleep together while Emerson and I were reading all of our things.

I finished cleaning up a few more things in the kitchen, like my giant cutting board I love using so much these days, and then made myself a cup of hot lemon tea. (Switched it up from mint tonight, and the lemon is good, but I might make a cup of mint after all, too.)

So now I think I’ll maybe work on my puzzle for a little bit, and try to get Jeff to work on it with me. Then my plan is to take a little rest (what I like to call a “nappetizer”) and then wake up again right before midnight, so I can listen to T-Swift’s new “Midnights” album right when it’s released at midnight, like all the other Swifties will be doing!
