Daylight Savings .... Insert Head Slap

Sunday AM gave me a slap with the Daylight savings!  Anyone else??  The boys stayed at the YMCA for kids night and I had to pick them up at 8:30am which was 7:30am still in my brain.  Thankfully I got up and even made it to church.  I can't say the rest of the day was the most productive but hey I got my work caught up and did the grocery shopping so I guess I can say it was a win ... LOL.

Thought I'd share a funny!

And a funny pic of me!

Restaurant Impossible Visited Spunky Monkey

Rick and I had date night last Saturday, the boys were at the YMCA Kids Night Out and we had a free night.  I love watching Restaurant Impossible and they came to a town not to far from us and we had to go check it out.  

The Spunky Monkey is in Auburn, Washington.  It's a Bar / Restaurant.  I used to go hang there with friends pre kids.  It was what you would expect a bar to be like dark and greasy food!  Robert and his crew did a great job sprucing the place up.  It was a fun night out, the staff were very nice but the food was way over priced.  We walked out around $52, which I thought was crazy high.  

I started with the hummus for $8 it was a good deal, the salmon I had was like $17 and you had a small amount of sweet potato (really it was yams but they can call them sweet potatoes).  Which I guess is the going price but I'd expect that in a big fancy place not a bar / restaurant.  We had fun and that is all that matters, we don't get many date nights out.  Rick is usually working 2 jobs and doesn't leave to many free night.  You may have saw him on the SeaHawks game 2 weeks ago (he was the security guard that opened the gate for the 2nd injured player, see pic below).

Here are some fun pictures of our date night!

Have a great day, I'm recovering from eye surgery!

Featured on Pin Me Party 69

I'm so excited my Avocado Hummus  was featured on my friend (also an amazing webpage designer, check mine out she did it) Diana Rambles Pin Me Party 69.  I loved this recipe so much and glad that other's loved it too.  It was so simple to make and I'm sure if I would have shared the kids and Rick would have liked it too ... teehehe.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Rick's bday is next Friday but the Kids Night Out at the YMCA is this weekend so it looks like date night for us.  I think we will go to the Spunky Monkey in Auburn, WA that was just on Restaurant Impossible last week.  I'm so excited to go see it I haven't been there since my party years (pre kids).

Randomness in my life ....

We've had some fun things and just life going on here so a break from recipes I show you what the heck has been going on her and with us!

First on my list was a little pampering for me!  My offices is now closing early on Fridays, I start usually at 5am (8am their time) and they are closing up at 12p (3p their time).  So it's actually almost a full day so I'm going to take queue on Fridays and leave at 12p instead of my 3p (my time) like usual.  I went and got my toes done, while there I got talked into a mani that I usually NEVER do and then a gel on top which I SHOULD have asked if cost more which was $10 more yikes!

Then Saturday Rick was working the Metro Parks Let's Play event at the Tacoma done which was FREE for kids!  The kids had so much fun!  Lot's of running around!

Then Saturday night the YMCA had a Kids night!  You drop the kids off at 5:30pm and then you pick them up at 8:30am!  Oh yes an overnight stay.  I thought Caden would hate it so I signed up just Cole (heck for $30 it's worth it and $21 for the second kid).  So we picked Cole up his VERY own 1st sleeping bag and he was ready to go.  They swam, played basketball, games and a movie!!  And YES Caden was VERY upset he didn't get to go, Next month he so will be going next month :).

So Caden and I had a date night with a movie Frankinweenie!  Caden thought it was cute and loved he got to eat popcorn in my bed.  Mom drank her water and wanted to go head first in the popcorn but I was good and said no!

We then had Caden's field trip to the Pantages Theater to watch a play on Eric Carle's books! It was super cool and it was only 2 puppeteers doing the whole play I swear it was like 10!

I tried a Pinterest item and it was my first real FAIL!!!
