Staycation Fun!

Last weekend we decided spur of the moment to have a quick staycation in Dallas. Even though we only live 30 minutes away from Dallas, there are many things over there we've never taken the time to do. We found an awesome rate to stay at The Renaissance Hotel ($75!!!). It was a beautiful place to stay! On Saturday we headed out and went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It was great! Next we had a quick lunch and went to check into the hotel. I tried to get Hayden to nap while Rob and O went to the rooftop pool. Hayden never napped :-( That evening we went over to a restaurant that sits right at the edge of a beautiful lake. It was fun to watch the boats and enjoy wonderful weather. On Sunday we spent the entire day at The Dallas Zoo. We loved it! It had several things that the Fort Worth zoo doesn't have. The boys loved riding on the monorail! We left the zoo exhausted from a long fun day!! It was a nice break from the usual routine!

I just stumbled upon this blog and I find myself quite intrigued. It is fun to check in on the nest everyday. My boys are loving it!

Muffin Tin Monday

Pretty much every Monday the boys have thier breakfast and/or lunch in a mini muffin tin. They LOVE this!! I saw the idea on a blog and had to start it at this house. It's a fun way for them to get a nice variety of foods. The pictures on this post are actually from a couple weeks ago. That day Owen had sliced ham, popcorn, carrots with ranch dip, grapes, and cheese which was eaten before I had a chance to get a picture. Hayden had sliced ham, green beans, cheese, grapes, and whole wheat bread. Today was similar....they had veggies with roasted garlic hummus, leftover grilled chicken, pretzel sticks, and string cheese. Yummy and Fun!!
