Shrimp Feast!

Hi everyone! On Saturday we went to a shrimp feast! It was kind of fun. We got there late and left early. My mom and Kathleen watched little Dougie and Mrs. Connie, Mr. Doug, Dougie and I headed to the party.




We got there and ate lots of shrimp, pasta salad, coleslaw, ect. Then the games started!!! They have wheels you can put money on and if your number comes up you win. I won a pot of flowers that I gave to my mom when I got home.

and Dougie won a bottle of Captain Morgan

It would have been a better night if the music was better to dance to, they played 80's music all night, it was horrible! It put me in such a bad mood because I love going there and dancing! Regardless, the others had fun tearin up the dance floor...

Saint Patricks Day!

Yesterday was St. Patty's Day. It was a busy day! My Mom came over for Lunch, we had spinach salad with chicken and mushrooms and added a nice sweet raspberry dressing. 4 points on weight watchers :) After that the baby and I went to the Picture People to get his 3 month portrait done and I dressed him up in his little shamrock outfit. I snapped some pictures before hand because he was soooo cute!

After the pictures were done we went and saw Pappy (my father) and spent some time there because we didn't see him on sunday like we normally do. Then Mrs. Connie called because she had Keira and wanted to go for a walk. So I headed over to her house and we went on a nice 20-30 minute walk around the community. It was colder than I thought it would be, but it seemed like lil D had a good time.

Finally we were home! I made a really yummy dinner, parmesean breaded chicken, sweet steamed baby carrots, and grilled asparagus! OMG it was so good!!! And only like 7 points! I had lots of points left over for snacks, which always makes me happy!

I also learned the meaning of the Irish flag this St. Patricks day. The orange is for the Protestants and green is for the catholics and the white is for the peace between them. Pretty cool!

Today was another gloomy day. It's raining. Dougie let me sleep in this morning by getting up with the baby at 9:30am when he wanted to eat. I got to sleep until 11:30am! Once I woke up I got a call from Mrs. Connie. We were off to Cracker Barrel with her, Kristen and Mrs. Hampton. I got the Chicken and Dumplings (5pts) Mashed Potatoes (4pts) and Green Beans (1pt), all for a whopping $6.99. That place is soooo good and cheap. Thank goodness it's so far away or else I'd be the fattest person ever!

After I got home Dougie went to bowling and my Mom and Kathleen came over. We played with Lil D for about an hour. I showed them how he plays in his bumbo. He was smiling so much!

Saturday I woke up early and went to the MD Home and Garden show again. This time I went with my Mom, Sister, and Lil D (of course). They couldn't go last time because they were getting ready for the baptism. It was a cool overcast day, but overall an ok day to go out and play.

First thing we did was eat because we got there right around lunch time! Kathleen got the crab cake, my mom got the roast beef sandwich, and I got a hot dog. I didn't realize the hot dog was 8 points when I ate it, lol.

The stands were different than last time which was nice so I didn't have to see the same things again. But I was super happy that the wine stands were still there :)

Another thing that was new was the Orchid Show! I've never seen such beautiful flowers before! I couldn't help snapping a few pics :)

I did a good few hours of walking so I got 4 AP's! That made me really excited because we were going over Mrs. Connies for dinner.

When we got there there was ham and pierogi's. Very yummy. Then we played a dice game, it was fun! Dougie won and I came in second. Keira and Lil D were there having a blast...well at least Keira was, Lil D's face doesn't seem so excited!

It's Friday wohoo! Dougie stayed home today because we were out late last night so we just had a lazy day at home with the baby. It was really nice actually, we caught up on all the episodes of House we missed and played on the computer. Then at around 6pm we picked up our cousin Heather and our old friend Billy and we headed to Reckless Rics.

It would just be a regular Friday at the bar but today was Friday the 13th! If you dress up on Friday the 13th in a halloween costume you get free drinks all night! I was the only one to dress up, I felt so silly. Once I walked in I realized it was not worth it, I was the only one dressed up for like the first hour we were there, but then 2 other girls showed up. People were asking me all night why I looked like that, but it was a good time!

Here's both the Heather's at the bar looking super cute!

I am worn out!

Ughh. Today was a hectic day. I cleaned the bathroom really well, I mean I got on my hands and knees and scrubed. I did dishes, and two loads of laundry. Little Dougie was being pretty good all day he slept a lot which is nice for me because I can get things done.

Doug went straight from work to the gym and once he got home I left to do a spinning class.

Now don't get me wrong, I've been to a spinning class before and I know what to expect. However, I forgot how incredibly draining it was. I felt like I was going to get sick in the middle of it and my face stayed bright red for about 1 1/2 hours.

So Im tired, tomorrow we're going out, I can't wait!!!
