Friday was our typical day as far as Madeleine and I go. She did try to test my patience though. The girl loves to be outside, which I actually LOVE! But, we are in a throwing phase and we are trying to teach her to set things down instead of throwing them. Well, homegirl didn't like me correcting her and threw a ball at me! So inside we went and time-out it was.......

My mom said I was too hard on her "baby." Excuse me Mom but I used to be your "baby!" How about, she was too hard on Your baby! Oh grandparents!!!
That night we went to dinner with one of Morgan's buddies who just got back from Afghanistan. We went to Selma's, here in San Clemente, which is a Chicago-style pizzeria. It's pretty decent pizza and the portions are huge!
Saturday we went on our normal stroll to the beach and through downtown. We were hoping that our little gremlin would take a nap because we had a wet-down that afternoon.(Wet down sounds dirty but it's just a military term that means someone got promoted and they get to buy the drinks for everyone.) But, she wanted no part of a nap! She ended up falling asleep in the car which was only a 30 minute ride. I figured she would be a total nightmare but there were a a bajillion kids there and she was in hog heaven! At the party, the food was pretty much "bachelor-style." Dips, chips, pizza and beer :( On our way home we stopped and had some pretty disgusting chicken tacos. Coming from Austin, where we have the almighty Torchy's and other fantastic taco joints, this place sucks for tacos!!!
Sunday we were going over to a friend's house for the Superbowl. Of course we knew it was going to be finger foods and party foods. So we were trying to mentally prepare ourselves for a third day in a row of eating like garbage! I even made myself a green smoothie so that it would make me feel better. Morgan and I are used to eating pretty healthy-ish. So, when we eat like garbage for more than 2 days we get GROUCHY!!! Grouchy to the point where, I considered throwing him threw a window and I'm pretty sure he contemplated duct taping me and shoving me in the closet. That's what bad food does to our bodies!!! We don't do well on junk.
We were pretty much grouchy with each other until we got home and I started making out my weekly menu. I'm pretty sure I got a lady boner when I wrote the words "roasted brussel sprouts." We're going to try to eat at home this whole week because we need to detox our bodies with healthy foods! Plus, my aunt is coming into town this weekend and I'm sure that means eating out a little. The good thing is I get to pick it out and I can have something healthy!
Even with her parents' grouchiness, Madeleine, slept like a champ yesterday! Three hour nap!! We actually had to wake her up so we could go to the party. I can never sneak in her room without her waking up so I had to take advantage of her sleeping and snap a few pics. I love those little, juicy lips. Melt my heart!!
And here she is during our grocery shopping. God bless the inventor of these carts! Mommies around the country can shop without having to rush through the store :)
Now I'm off to prep dinner. We are having hummus crusted chicken with vegetables. Here's the recipe. It's the easiest dinner ever!!!!
