We had a lot of rain on Friday and the gloom and doom
continued into Saturday morning. I was up at 7 to Little O’s paws underneath
the bedroom door meowing for breakfast. I fed the cats and forced myself to
work out then ran up to the store to grab coffee. I happened to spot some
festive sprinkled doughnuts and could not pass them up. It had been months
since I ate a doughnut and they just looked so good. So my post workout
breakfast was a chocolate doughnut and coffee and it was totally worth it.
I’m
pretty sure I walked it off anyway because the rain let up late morning and we
took Ares and Chaos out for our loop. There ended up being a bit of a drizzle
for about a mile but it wasn’t bad. We saw giant tires for the monster truck
show and the boys were so amazed by them we just had to take a picture.
The dogs don’t have any special rain gear because we don’t
walk if it’s truly raining. They don’t to be bothered by a very light drizzle,
especially if we are already out and it starts. I, on the other hand, wear my
rain boots and jacket if even looks like it might think about raining. Hunter
brand boots might seem on the expensive side for rain gear, but they are
totally worth it. I can guarantee your feet will stay completely dry. My
Columbia rain jacket is also truly waterproof and the hood actually stays up
while I walk. There are few things more irritating to me than walking home with
wet hair.
Sunday I celebrated the coming birth of my friend’s little
girl at her baby shower. By now you probably know I went with a themed gift. My
mom and I actually decided to go into together so part of the present was the
adorable mobile from her registry and some children’s books. The other part was
completely off registry and this is where the theme comes in. Baby girl is due
this April (best month to be born in my opinion) so I thought it would be
really fun to make her very first Easter basket filled with Spring goodies. I
found the perfect personalized Easter basket on Etsy that also came with a
sweet little bunny and ordered a monogrammed sippy cup along with it. Then the
cutest baby bunny beanie stole my heart and I scooped that up too. Target, my
go to store, had Spring themed pacifiers, an adorable romper and some little
bows for the head of hair that has already been seen on the ultrasound. A few
barnyard animals toys, pastel Easter eggs and grass from Kroger completed the
basket.
Chris took Ares and Chaos to hang with Grandpa for a little
bit while I was gone. It felt like a nice, sunny Spring day so they hit up the
park too.
Piper took a front row seat for the SEC tournament and was very
pleased that her blue Wildcat brothers pulled out the win.
Ares and Chaos got
manicures they were none too pleased about, but didn’t put up much of a fuss
over.
We look forward to getting back outside more often as the weather gets
warmer!
Happy St. Patty’s!
