Check-In 1/25

[toratoratori]

WELP. My birthday weekend in Portland didn't happen. Hubby's cousin's kid came down with Hand, Foot & Mouth and we opted to stay home. It ended up being a really nice weekend, actually. Grabbed lunch with friends on Saturday afternoon, went out for sushi for my birthday on Saturday evening (sans kid! So I actually got to eat my own food!), and spent all day yesterday in our PJs watching football. I'm soooo excited for a Panthers / Broncos Super Bowl. I hope the Panthers GIT IT.


bonzo2012 How was the snowshoeing class? What exactly do they teach you? Isn't snowshoeing just walking, but with (basically) tennis rackets as shoes?

missjenniebean So cute how into foods V is! C is still super picky and basically lives off of Graham crackers. What are some of V's favorites? Maybe you'll give me some ideas for my fussy toddler!

toratoratori, I'm sorry you didn't get to go to Portland, but I am glad you still celebrate it and have a good time! Nothing like sushi, especially if it's all your own!

She literally will eat anything we put in front of her, from the baby food of Mum-mum's and puffs, to cute up pizza and chicken nuggets. Her aunt actually said she REALLY enjoyed the nuggets, they're vegetarians but I tried it and it was delicious, she also loves avocado and oranges. Mashed Potatoes of course. She goes crazy for the mum-mum's, C might like those! The are graham crackery but dissolve quite quickly.

She's tried and LOVES Mum-Mums. Not so big on oranges (she can't figure out why they're so pulpy), but avocado is a hit. We may try chicken nuggets. The Morningstar Farms veggie ones would be allowed at our kosher daycare, so that might be another good lunch option!

I definitely recommend, I'll have to find out the brand.
Mum-mum's are awesome!

Hopefully you find somethings, my brothers growing up were picky. So difficult.

The snowshoeing class was a lot of safety stuff, like what you need to have in your pack that might be different from warm weather hiking, though I honestly felt like all of the same info is on the REI website right next to where DH had to click to sign us up for the class. Oh well. It was a freebie class, so I wasn't expecting too much. The actual walking in snowshoes will come when we get up to the mountains, since we haven't had enough sticking down around the city to practice on!

I'm glad you had a good birthday weekend, toratoratori, even if it was different from what you had planned!

I mean, if nothing else, there are always blueberries (aka. "baby crack").

That's a bummer about this class, bonzo2012! Oh, well. I guess you'll find out how to snowshoe soon enough When are you actually going?

[missjenniebean]

toratoratori, haven't tried that yet!!!

bonzo2012, that sucks, but safety advice is good. hopefully you will both be champs when you get up there!

We'll be going Valentine's weekend. We normally don't do anything if for Valentine's Day, but it's my one weekend off of work in Feb and it's our tenth dating anniversary, so we thought a little weekend getaway was deserved!

[missjenniebean]

bonzo2012 definitely well deserved! So exciting!
