a pretty good weekend

Good morning and happy Monday, all! I love a fresh start to a new week AND a new month, looking forward to March tomorrow! I took some pics this weekend but haven't uploaded any so, sorry but this post will be picture-less so if you tune in just to see pretty photos, I'll spare you and tell you you might want to stop reading now. :)

Friday night we got a babysitter and went to our friends Scottish-themed party to pay homage to Robbie Burns. This event was hysterical and super fun, I had my first experience with haggis (which is funny b/c I had the chance to try haggis while I was actually in Scotland but passed b/c frankly, sheep heart, stomach, liver parts just sound plain nasty to me), but it was haggis made the American way so I could give it a whirl. Needless to say it was an awesome way to spend a Friday night and I was so glad to be invited.

Saturday was pretty chill, I had a garage sale in the morning and then tried this new lasagna recipe, it was good! I've been trying to add some vegetarian meals to my repertoire and I think this is a repeater. I added mushrooms and onions to give it some more substance. I'd definitely say its worth making if any one needs an easy dish to try.

Sunday was our children's service at church, it was super cute. The "theme" for the service was Jonah and the Whale, the kids sang several songs, and they put together a video of the kids answering questions about Jonah. They asked Brennan what it would be like to be swallowed by a big fish and she said "it would be like a unicorn being swallowed by a dog" -she's getting a lot of facebook love from others a church because of this! My funny girl! I still can't believe I'm old enough to be the parent with the kid in the program at church, crazy!!

At the last minute we had some friends over for lunch on Sunday and then Adam and I watched the Oscars (I only guessed 13 out of 25 of the winners, not a great percentage). All in all, a pretty good, chill weekend. How was yours? xo
