Weekends . . . a series.

 I have had the hardest time getting around to posting on my blog lately.  Blame it on the busyness of having four kids and the exhaustion that sets in once I finally get everyone in bed; blame it on Claire's cyclical sickness and ensuing asthma attacks, blame it on whatever you want.  The truth is, I miss it.  I like to post things as they happen.  I don't like to play catch up.  It feels like the moment has past and my heart is no longer in it.  But, because I have been loving my weekends lately with my family I want to post about the last few.  James has been working every Saturday for the last year until recently.  Between rediscovering the novelty of a bona fide weekend, and having kids that are another year older, read: no more diapers or naps, we are having some great weekends around here!

Two short weeks ago James and I headed outside on a 65 degree day to the Woodlands.  Here we are two weeks later and it is already in the 90's!  It was the first date we have had in a month!  Claire had been so sick we couldn't leave her.  It was so nice to get out in the fresh air just the two of us.  We spent the day strolling around outside at Market Street and eating lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. 

These are AMAZING!  I will drive the 45 minutes to the Woodlands just to get them.  They are Thai lettuce tacos and they are so low fat and SO delicious!

I saw these while window shopping and thought they were perfect.  

We ended our date with a leisurely drive through our favorite country neighborhood.  Windows down.
