Making Memories :)

The girls played with Barbies till it was time to go outside and wait for the BBQ to finish cooking on Monday night.

A black chihuahua mix randomly walked up to the porch and decided to join us. The girls were elated. The food was out and I’m not kidding you, those fajitas Jeremy brought from–of all places, Walmart–were SO GOOD. The seasoning was amazing. Omar brought meat and these awesome corn tortilla tacos made of bean and I think chorizo from Monterrey…the girls and I were in heaven, heh.

I was quickly getting tired, and the girls were drowsy, so we called it a night. Jorge came in later and gently woke me to go to the bedroom.

And we crashed out till it was almost time for him to go to work D:. So no breakfast for him that morning. I saw him off to work, and made my way back to the living room to nap in the cuddle chair till the girls woke up. But, that was short-lived…as Mom decided to thrash things about in the refrigerator -__-. Got up, woke the girls up, and Emily helped me make French toast :).

We finished up, they played with Barbies and I chopped up veggies and put them in the slow-cooker with some meat for beef stew for when my love came home for lunch. Must make it a point to get more recipes for that thing; it’s so handy!

I cleaned up, bathed the girls, then myself and my love came home for lunch. He LOVED the beef stew ^_^. I did, too, but my stomach was already protesting since I’m not using to eating red meat often, and I’d already had it the night before =\.

My love left back to work and the girls and I left to run an errand and then we went to the library.

Between computer time, getting the girls new library cards, and them finding their books, we were there a total of 2 hours O_O. But it was fun. I LOVE that place! It’s just so…cozy? I don’t know how to explain it. I spent a lot of time at the Old library as a child and now I’m glad I get to make memories with the girls at the New one :). And I’m thrilled that it’s not far from home, too!

I had to lure the girls out of the library with gumdrops, or else we never would have left! Sue me. We didn’t leave before at least one of them had a meltdown, though; Alaethia was upset that we didn’t buy nachos from the Cafe LOL. But she was placated once she scored a candy from the store.

We got home and they quietly flipped through their books. I chopped up cauliflower and potatoes for Skinny Potato Soup. Once it was done, the girls and I ate, and then we watched “Up”. Well, Alaethia sorta watched “Up”…she wanted to look up the Barbie DreamHouse game and check out prices for the dollhouse LOL.

My poor babe got home late. He had to settle some things with a project and then was on the phone making managerial decisions. I don’t know how he does it. He’s always so stressed out :(, but he’s the type of person who can leave it at the doorstep when he gets home ♥.

I bathed the girls, put them to bed and then we attempted to watch The Voice but we sorta passed out towards the end, heh. My poor babe missed a good deal of the end; he was exhausted. All-in-all, it was a long day. But a great one :).
