{WHW}: Iggles, Ickies, and Cancellations

Sorry for the delayed weekend recap (although lately it seems like Wednesdays are my go-to recapping day), but Ella came down with a cold from daycare and, you guessed it, Sunday it took me down. Luckily it's just a head cold but it's still been wearing me down.

This weekend got a little off track from our original plans, but it was still a pretty decent weekend overall.

~Friday night we went out for Mexican food. Ella enjoyed puffs, puree and part of my burrito (this girl WILL like Mexican food)

She was VERY curious about all of the goings on around her--we have to work on her eavesdropping skills being more covert, though :)

~At the end of dinner, an older gentleman commented on "him" (Ella)...which prompted me to buy some more headbands to put on Ella when we go out.

~Saturday our girl woke up with a runny nose that literally would not stop!

~Our dining room set was delivered during nap time, and our girl slept through the drilling of the legs being put together--praise! The table is awesome and the chairs are SO comfy! Definitely more conducive to lingering after dinner for chats than our old table and chairs were.

And now we're talking about what we're going to paint the dining room because it's kind of "blah" now

~We'd had plans to have our friends over for dinner, but they got the weekends confused and ended up being out of town, so we made plans for another weekend and MG decided to try his hand at a recipe from Chrissy Teigen's Cravings cookbook and it came out SO good (minus the few burned spots on top)

Bakes Pasta Alla Norma with Mozzarella Bombs (if you don't like heat, leave out the red pepper flakes. We did half of what the recipe calls for, and I don't mind heat, and it was on the border of too spicy)

~Baby clothes arrived and I just revel at the fact that she's going to fit into 18 month clothes before I know it.

~Saturday night also brought a health scare with my FIL. We got a call that he was having chest pains and an ambulance had come. He stayed overnight and everything looked good, so we're hoping it was just a new med and/or a really bad muscle strain. Definitely was an uneasy evening though (and maybe a good thing we didn't end up having company over)

~Ella had a ROUGH time getting to bed Saturday night but thanks to Motrin and lots of snuggles, we got her down and she slept through the night.

~Sunday MG ran errands and talked with a listing agent about putting our condo on the market in the coming months, so we'll see what happens with that.

~Ella discovered a super cute baby in the mirror and had a grand time touching and kissing that cute baby for a solid 30 minutes or more lol

~Ella's cold hit me Sunday mid morning and just got worse into the afternoon. She wouldn't nap without being held so I held her, while fighting a dripping nose and my throat being on fire. I felt miserable and Ella woke up before she really should have so she was cranky. Due to all of this, MG canceled his plans to go and watch the Eagles game with friends.

~We made food at home, dealt with a fussy baby for bedtime again (but thankfully she eventually went down and got a solid night of sleep again), and we settled in to watch the Eagles's first Superbowl win! My husband's family were all group texting during the game which was really fun, too!

So, basically all of our set plans for the weekend kind of went up in flames, but such is the life of having kids, especially when they're sick (and you're sick). 

Hoping you've been spared from the germs!
