tales of a young mamma

I think every weekend should be a three day weekend, right? Having that extra day, just makes a world of difference!  Friday night I went out with some friends for tapas where I consumed at least two servings of fried goat cheese by myself. Impressive huh? Thought so. Also, fried avocado. I need to figure out a way to make this at home. Can't be That difficult right? If you make it to Denver, be sure to check out  9th Door if you are in the mood for some delicious tapas!

Saturday was by far the best day of the long weekend. The kids were up nice and early, like always, and yes I put nice in front of early to make myself feel better about the 6:15 wake up call, so we basically got dressed and out the door almost immediately. We hopped on our bikes and made our way down to the Cherry Creek farmers market right when it opened. We always pick out a few different things to share for breakfast, and this weeks picks were winners (as really are each week.) We had a maple bacon donut, a blueberry muffin (not pictured for some reason..probably Tindra being the reason) and a nutella and berry crepe along with some pink lemonade. Breakfast of champions, or something like that. 

After the farmers market we biked to the mall where we all scored some good Gap deals and then biked some more and ended up at the Cherry Cricket for Lunch. Another must eat if in Denver. We ended up being out on our bikes for 5 hours! Probably a record for us! 

During naps I went and got  a hair cut (more on that later.) And then we headed to the suburbs for a grill out with good friends. All in all a perfect Saturday! Minus Jasper throwing up in the car on the way home. And then threw up another 4-5 times before passing out at 2 AM and waking up 100 percent normal. Weird. 
Sunday we dedicated to a good deep clean/organize of the house and yard. Not super fun, but definitely necessary. 
Monday we had planned on a day trip but Sunday night Drew decided to catch Jaspers weird bug and threw up a couple time. Even though we woke up Monday feeling fine we decided to lay low for the day with a little bike ride and some more yard work. 
Even with the vomiting (ugh) it was still a fantastic weekend! Also, Im convinced karma is the reason why Drew got sick and I didn't. Knock on wood it could still happen. He was at a concert Saturday night while I was home cleaning up puke, so it only makes sense he's the one who got sick and not me, right? 
Hope you all had a great long weekend! Just another week and a half and summer break starts!!
