Keeping Warm

In the morning, it is cold when we come downstairs, so Jackson and Olivia like me to make a fire as soon as they get out of bed.

Olivia stays warm during the day by moving constantly.

If a roaring fire and exercise don't help warm you up, there is always salsa. (It's also a must during the current cedar fever season, since it clears the sinuses.)

We ventured out in freezing rain to meet my parents for dinner at Mesa Rosa. I had my usual, spinach mushroom quesadillas, with a frozen margarita. Then straight home and into my warm jammies!

Mother's Day 2014

Hey all, how was your weekend? On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with my parents by eating my mom's favorite cuisine - Tex-Mex!

We chose Mesa Rosa because it is the halfway point between our houses. I had spinach quesadillas. Tons of spinach inside, just how I like them.

Later, we ended up at a second Mexican restaurant, El Mercado, so that Jackson and Olivia could get rid of an abundance of energy.

Tony and I enjoyed frozen margaritas in the beer garden while the kids played to their sweaty, grimy heart's content.

Olivia loves mist machines!

Wonderful little playground, a perfect place for families to relax.

The children's playhouse cracked me up. Nice advertising!

Hope you had a nice Mother's Day!
