My older sister and I have been attending gardening classes together for the past couple of weeks. This past Saturday we decided to celebrate my b-day by going out to lunch and ice-cream after the class. We went to Baskin Robbins for ice-cream. We have many fond memories of going there with our Dad when we were just little girls. I would always beg for the bubble gum one since my mother would never let us chew gum. Amy and I had a blast and it was nice to spend some quality time together.
We also stopped by the locally owned garden center on our way home and I got excited when I say this vegetable planting list. I'm so ready to get my peas into the ground. This year, I'm hoping to have enough space to plant:
Peas
Carrots
Beats
Potatoes
Cucumbers
Peppers
I am so thankful for an amazing sister who gets as excited as I do about gardening. Love you Amy!
Just a few days ago I celebrated my 34th birthday. I inwardly cringe just writing that. I have to admit that I'm freaked out that I am that old. Ugh. Anyway, I had a marvelous day! Brandon took the day off work and he was able to go with us on our weekly trip to the library (and storytime). The boys loved having him there, and it was nice to have one kid on his lap while the other one was on mine.
After the library we gobbled up a quick lunch and they made a cake while I went to my favorite bookstore outlet and got some cute things for only $2. I love buying fun stuff for not much money. When I got home we zoomed off the a local arcade. A sweet friend gave us free passes and we enjoyed 2 hours up there. It was marvelous and the boys had a blast.
We first went miniature golfing. Oh my goodness, the boys were in heaven. They really enjoyed hitting the ball around. I somehow managed to win our game. Brandon let us keep score and I was very surprise since he usually wins all the games we play together.
After golf we headed back downstairs to the arcade games. We had about
40 tokens to use and the boys kept running from one thing to the other.
Peter really enjoyed playing the claw game (he adores all the Toy Story movies so it was magically to have one he could play). He and Brandon even managed to win a stuff dude. I think this guy is from the Popeye show.
Luke spent a lot of time playing on this dancing board. He had no idea what to do, but he loved to jump on the squares and watch them light up. It was pretty funny to watch him.
After our time at the archade was over we went up to SLC. We made a trip up there to get some wallpaper. Sounds crazy, but I really want to wallpaper and accent wall in my kitchen. Luckily, we were able to find the store without too much difficulty. They had what I wanted, and we were in and out of there pretty quickly.
It's such a pretty design and girlie color. I'm hoping Bran and I can get it hung sometime this week. I'll post before and after pictures of the project.
Then, since we were in a celebrating mood Brandon took me to my favorite restaurant ~ Chuck-A-Rama. Oh yummy. I love their scones and also their crab salad (dolloped on saltine crackers is my favorite way to gobble it up).
That ended my yearly birthday adventure. I was thankful it was such a delightful day because most years the day is just "blah" at best.
