Superfun Times

We have had a great weekend! Grandma and Grandpa came into town yesterday to watch Wm's soccer game and hang out. Mimi and Guy also came to cheer Wm on and then we all went out to lunch at the Rusty Bucket. Steve was also the recipient of an awesome new grill that his parents brought and he is REALLY excited about it. He has been thinking of all kinds of things to grill. First up, bison/black bean burgers on twig-filled buns!

In awesome "I told you so" news, I am right and Steve is wrong and he was forced to say the words, "you were right." BOOM! This doesn't happen often, so I'm really enjoying it. Wm and I typically go and do our grocery shopping early Sunday morning at Whole Foods while Steve is at work. He's home in time for lunch and the groceries are put away and we are ready for the week. I usually spend about $150 on a week's worth of groceries. Steve grumbles every single week while we eat lunch that he could get stuff for SO MUCH LESS if he went to Kroger. So, this week, he decided not to go in Sunday morning since he worked his ass off last weekend. I told him it was the perfect time to test his theory and sent him off with the list to Kroger. And guess what? $153. AND, I refused to eat any meats from there, so he didn't even get the salmon or chicken we need! So it would be even MORE since I would have bought those things had I been at Whole Foods (or should I call it The Bargain Grocery Store, perhaps?) Steve is very contrite and I am victorious. IT FEELS AMAZING. Needless to say, I am bringing this up as often as I can.

Then, after the grocery trip of joy and happiness and Cory's rightness, we went apple picking with Suzanne.

Wm did try a few apples while we picked!

Found a winner!

The fake bite was a fun pose...

Blue skies and sunshine...and 80 degrees!

Wm picked a bushel

Apple galette

I made Steve a Mediterranean quinoa for dinner and a low-sugar apple galette for dessert. While he was eating it, he goes, "this isn't very sweet." I told him he didn't have to eat it if he didn't like it and he goes, "No...I'm enjoying the torture." He also liked the quinoa! Winning!! I made him a baked oatmeal that he LOVED. So I'm figuring this business out. On the flip side, I made Wm some brownies today. Steve is quite jealous, but he didn't eat any!

Wm is now off at the playground with friends. And I am not getting off the couch until bedtime.
