Aren’t the Weekends for Resting?

We had another busy weekend around the house with getting the nursery put together and chores around the house. We bought a glider chair this weekend and got a twin mattress for the bed in the nursery. I washed two loads of the little guy’s clothes, towels, bibs, sheets, etc and put them all away in his dresser- that’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had doing laundry! Rob did a lot of pruning work in the yard on Sunday and I helped a little too but mostly stayed inside cleaning and doing laundry.

Our new glider chair:


We did watch There Will Be Blood on Friday night and I watched Enchanted on Sunday afternoon. Here are my reviews for the two- first of all, I really enjoyed Enchanted and liked how they tied in so many fairy tale/Disney clichés and made a fun movie out of it. As for There Will Be Blood, I really enjoyed watching Daniel Day Lewis. He’s just amazing- I don’t know what else to say. But the story, I didn’t think it was that great. We also cooked up some pretty good food for dinner on Saturday and Sunday nights. On Saturday, I made chicken cordon bleu and we had some corn and mashed potatoes (for Rob) and rice (for me) with it. I always had it in my head that chicken cordon bleu was a very difficult thing to make but this recipe was super easy and it came out really good. By the way, the Market Pantry brand (I think that's what it is- Market something) frozen corn from Target is sooo good! I usually like canned corn better than frozen but that is the best corn (besides fresh off the cob) that I think I’ve ever had. Anyhow, that was a really good dinner and then Rob made teriyaki beef kebabs on the barbecue on Sunday night. The marinade for the meat in this recipe is wonderful. I made a salad and some pilaf to go with it so we ate really good this weekend- and now we have leftovers to look forward to this week!
