Late Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend, it began sans child on Friday night, LuLu had picked Mae up earlier in the day to spend the day (and night) with her, so as soon as we got off work, we headed out to Happy hour. Our good friend was celebrating her 30th bday at a new restaurant/bar called Blackfin. As you can tell by the picture, we had a great time. Meredith was pushed into the cake! Good times! The Owner even gave us a $10 off coupon for our next visit!

Mae has now graduated from potty training - she is such a big girl and we are so proud of her. She has amazed us with how she has taken to it and is growing up much too fast! We thought we would have to keep her in diapers at night for her to sleep in, but so far she has proven us wrong.
The rest of the weekend was very low key and relaxing. Saturday, Meredith had a girls outing with her mom and sisters and Daddy and Mae had a fun time running a muck. She has these looks that she dishes out and I believe that she believes that she runs the house! On Sunday we went to Paw Paw's Pool for some afternoon swimming and came home to play and be lazy.
We have had a difficult time getting her to eat what we eat. The list of good food that she will eat is growing slowly - currently it is Broccoli, Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Black Beans, Black Olives & Brussel Sprouts. At least we have these foods that she likes, and I am sure that the list will keep growing.

Next weekend we will be getting several new trees for our backyard, hopefully 2 live oaks and at least 1 ornamental tree that is Texas proof. When we had purchased our house, the previous owners had installed an above ground pool that did not agree with me, so I have since removed it and now have an ginormous hole to fill - and a large open area is just begging for some shade trees. Pics to come after delivery.
