What Happened in February?

Paul and I went to another cooking class at Siragusa’s.

Tasty as always. Today was vegetarian lasagna roll ups.

I have vertigo. Again. Dad has been taking us to school for the last week. It’s been kind of fun having him drive for us, but I would like to drive with him without the misery of vertigo. Eli took this picture. He captured Lulu perfectly.

We met up with the builder and the architect at the property. It was pretty fun to drive up to our future house and have 2 feet of snow.

Eli loved it. After leaving the property we were pretty excited to get this project started.

Eli had a few days off school so we did quite a bit of shopping. I know we have been to too many stores when I turn to find Eli acting like a mannequin. Look at his feet and facial expression. He has this acting thing down!

I wanted to make this bag for some time now. So I quickly sewed it during half time while watching the Super Bowl. I need to finish the face, but not bad for 1/2 hour of work.

February flew by. March 1, I will buckle down and start training for the up coming marathon.

Monday Luncheon

I probably shouldn’t even document this lunch. I didn’t take any pictures of lunch. I really wasn’t impressed. It was just food. Nothing special.

Eli and I had the crepes. They were just crepes. They were good. Just nothing special about it. No one had anything to say about breakfast.

So, for dessert we went to a place that we knew wouldn’t disappoint. We went to the Chocolate.

We ordered our usual skookie. Half peanut butter cookie and the other half with chocolate chip cookie, with a HUGE scoop of ice cream. Well worth the calories!

Paul’s Birthday

This is why I haven’t been running…

It’s been freezing out. Yes, I do have long johns to wear under my clothes when I run, but I don’t have any desire to get out and run. I’m so not going to be ready for our first marathon in May.

We celebrated Paul’s birthday today and went out to breakfast. Sills Café.

This is a normal sized plate. The scone is huge! They are known for their scones, so we had to try one and they are wonderful!

The cinnamon roll was 3 inches tall and barely fit on the plate. The cinnamon roll wasn’t that good. I would skip this one next time.

When we ordered three desserts we didn’t know they were going to feed the table, plus the tables next to us. This one is the apple fritter. Out of the three desserts we tried, this one was excellent! I would stand in the parking lot for another hour to have one of these.

Oh, the rest of our breakfast was really good as well. We will split plates next time. We had a lot of wasted food. The portions were huge!

After breakfast we took Eli to Little Beakers. A real science lab for kids.

We were there for about an hour and Eli did four experiments. He did the classic mentos in soda, made a tornado in a bottle, and another one I can’t remember. I guess it wasn’t that great if I can’t remember it.

The last one was kind of fun. He made snow.

This was a cute place. I think this summer when it’s so hot out, when we need something to do indoors, we will come back here and try out the other experiments.
