Happy Monday! I love Mondays like I love January – fresh start. But, if I had to repeat any day of the week over and over Groundhog Day style it would of course be Saturday! : ) Our weekend was totally rainy and cloudy. You know, it’s not the cold of winter that I hate to much but all the gray. I just need to see the sun. Just a little. We have so much rain in the forecast.
On Friday night we had a babysitter and went to ACAC for a great partner workout in the V-Day spirit. Try to find us in the crowd!
After sweating buckets and a quick shower, we went to dinner with some friends to The Fitzroy. T and I shared this delicious pear and manchego salad.
Plus, we had half a burger each and some fries! YUM.
On Saturday morning Mazen was up early (he’s been getting up an hour earlier lately!), but he said he wanted to make me breakfast! With a little help using the toaster, he brought me this sunbutter and honey toast and lukewarm tea with a straw. LOL.
When he wasn’t looking I spread a little more sunbutter on the toast and added some banana. Note the cherry Pez he added to my plate for dessert!! Hahaha!
I had a little omelet that Thomas made too. Lucky girl!
Mid-morning we all went to the gym. I did an elliptical workout with Lauren, who accidentally wore her rainboots and forgot her tennis shoes! No worries.
Thomas took Mazen swimming. I love this pic!
And if you missed it on Instagram, Mazen has mastered the cannonball!
After the gym, Mazen went on a date with his new grandmother, Nona, and I had a big salad at home. Greens, goat cheese, toasted almonds, homemade dressing, avocado, and fish filet.
Mid-afternoon we went to a friends’ birthday part at Three Notchd!
Look at these great cake pops!
That was some gooooood cake!!
I have a stash of rainy day toys. This one was from my mom, and it was a huge hit! The Play-Doh Burger Maker. Mazen made a really impressive burger stack!
He did that while I read this! One of my favorites.
We had real burgers for dinner, which were leftover sliders that Thomas ordered at Three Notchd. This was actually Mazen’s plate – mine looked similar with less mayo and more salad!
On Sunday morning I woke up to one of Mazen’s toys next to me, but he was no where in sight. Turns out he was playing ninja and was stealthy sneaking about our room. Quite scary!
We had Great Harvest pancakes with cara cara oranges for breakfast. Cara cara are the BEST oranges!! Look for them if you haven’t tried them. They’re so much better than naval.
Our Sunday activities included: meal planning, Lego building, a quick workout at the gym, grocery shopping, and seeing Peter Rabbit at the new Alamo theater.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Love the Pez and the cannonball and the date with Nona and that good looking cake. Oh and the pic of Thomas and Maze in the pool.

Hmm, no wine this weekend. Seems it of place for you
KathEats says
I had a beer!
Tonya says
Mazen is adorable and hilarious!
Kristin says
It’s so funny you mention Mazen waking up an hour earlier lately – my youngest has been too for the past week and I know of sooo many more parents experiencing the same thing. Hmmm…. ?
KathEats says
Maybe it’s all the rain!!
Linda @ the Fitty says
How funny, they’re in sync! And speaking of an hour earlier, eventually we will have to turn back our clocks sometime in March. Seems like there are Tad early to get into the habit!
Laura Swanson says
I LOVE blood oranges and I’m so happy they are in season now! Have you tried them? I think they are the best.
KathEats says
I don’t think I’ve ever had one because I can’t get over the name!!! I know that’s silly, but it freaks me out a little. I should just try one!
Amanda says
Blood oranges are also called Moro, which may be a way for you to try them. 😉 I also like that they peel easily..
allison says
Aldi has cara cara oranges this time of year SO CHEAP!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says
Man, I want my meals brought to me every morning! LOVE THE SLOW MO cannon ball!
Linds says
I usually read your posts as soon as I get into the office in the morning, but now it’s just before lunchtime and man, am I hungry now! For cake and burgers! Haha. Looks like a great weekend. M is getting so big. Is it weird I’m thinking like one of those people who tell kids “I remember when you were only thiiiis tall” ?
KathEats says
Haha awww!
Alyssa says
FYI – Cara Cara oranges are navel oranges.
The Cara cara navel, or red-fleshed navel orange is an early-to-midseason navel orange believed to have developed as a cross between the Washington navel and the Brazilian Bahia navel.
KathEats says
ok, sure, I’m just going by what the grocery stores label them and how they feel/taste. I wonder if the generic navels that are bigger and orangeier have a more specific name too.
Kaci says
What a fun weekend minus the rain! We have a lot of rain going on here (Knoxville, TN) too, and it’s such a downer!
Kathy says
Love that his new Nona took him on a date–so sweet! I have a 4 year old boy, was Peter Rabbit good??
KathEats says
Yes really good and funny!
Sarah says
How was peter rabbit? We saw paddington 2 5$ this wknd and loved it
KathEats says
It was great!! Funny and cute
Erin says
Did you notice the food allergy bullying? I saw it pop up in my FB feed (I have a peanut allergic kid) and while I hate the idea of food allergy bullying, I wonder if it’s a key scene or kind of a mountain made out of a mole hill. We have not yet seen it!
KathEats says
I saw a similar headline before going. The rabbits do use a blackberry allergy as a “weapon” (kind of like Kevin v the robbers in Home Alone). I could see how those with serious allergies would not think it was funny.
