A visit from Mimi

My mom came down to visit us this weekend, which was so nice. We also get into project mode when she is here and end up cleaning out closets, the garage, you name it. So it was a very productive weekend besides just getting to visit and hang out. She just came back from New York and brought us all kinds of surprises. Here are a picture of some of the chocolates they had for them in their hotel. She saved them in her luggage and brought them to me! Thanks Mom! I would have eaten them all on the first day. :) She also brought me an amazing scarf from H&M, my most favorite store in NY which they don't have here in Texas and you can't even order online.
As on a previous post I had mentioned that on the way home from vacation Pete and I bought laminate wood flooring and stuffed it in the back of the explorer with all of our luggage and baby stuff. This was not a planned purchase, but we had been talking about getting it and then heard that there was this one day sale at IKEA for 49 cents a sq/ft. After battling through mass chaos and crazy mad people acting like the flooring was the last loaf of bread during a famine, we managed to leave with enough flooring for two of our bedrooms. We decided to do Peter's room first. I will post the after pictures soon. Here it is after ripping all the carpet and baseboards out. I can't remember how to rotate it.

And the last project of the week...I decided since Peter is almost 6 months old, I would try to make some homemade baby food. I bought some sweet potatoes and steamed and pureed them and then put them in these ice trays in the freezer. I read that once they are frozen, you just pop them out into a freezer bag and defrost the cubes as you need them for up to 2 months. Looks good huh? :)
A few from this week..


Have a good one!
