Somehow we went from summer weather to incessant freezing rain over the course of a few days and I’m still completely unsure of how it happened. That little glimpse though made me realize how much happier I’ll be when warmer weather is finally here to stay. Being able to take Remy to the park and go on walks outside…ugh, I can’t wait!!
Despite the rain trying to hold us back, we have lots to do this weekend. Remy’s daycare is hosting a winter wonderland party and Princess Elsa will be in attendance, so obviously we have to go. Remy hasn’t actually seen Frozen (she’s more of a Moana girl), but we’ve listened to the music a lot and she occasionally breaks out into a chorus of “LET IT GOOOOOO” whenever the mood strikes. (So, daily.) I have a feeling she’ll be thrilled. Or terrified. Only time will tell.
As if that weren’t enough, tomorrow is my birthday and I have designs on making a Milk Bar cake. I haven’t read the instructions all the way through yet, but from past experience I expect that making it will be a full day affair. Call me crazy, but I’m so excited. I love a good baking challenge.
Enjoy this week’s meal plan and happy weekend to everyone!!
