I love weekends!

In fact I live for them! I enjoy my job and all but I very much work to live. I love waking up without an alarm clock even though my 2 year old still makes me get up before I want most days. I love lounging around in my cozy socks drinking 2 large cups of coffee. I love reading my books (reading "Dead and Gone" by Charlaine Harris). Tonight True Blood starts and I am beyond excited! I am planning on making a themed dinner to eat with my hubby when he gets home from work, even if its 2 am. (He's a bartender...) Eric is my favorite character. I like him even more in the books, probably because farther down the storyline Eric and Sookie have more "interaction" if you know what I mean ;). Damn. It's all I can say... Luckily mt hubby loves the show to so he doesn't get jealous about my huge crush on this guy!

Any hoosky moving on...yesterday my sister and I packed up our bento boxes and walked to this beautiful park that is a mile away. It was gorgeous here in so cal yesterday afternoon. We have been having some June gloom but it cleared up and made a great afternoon. I was feeling very crafty yesterday so I made some candy sushi for the kids.

Then I experimented with making rice molds that I saw on this awesome blog about packing bento boxes. It's kind of hard to tell but my son wanted a bat and a haunted house, pulled from my Halloween stash of cookie cutters. I also made moons, stars, headstones, and cars! They were so cute!

My sister and I had some Waba Grill in our bentos! It was yummy!

I am challenging my sister to a walking challenge this week. We have to walk at least 10 miles and if we do, we will each watch each others kids for 2 hours so the other can be ALONE! Sounds good to me! Today we are walking 5K from my sister's house to our mom's house. Luckily it is mostly down hill :) Yesterday we logged 2 miles and I did 2+ miles the day before. I think setting a mileage goal opposed to a number of days goal is funner.

On an unrelated note, look what my son gave me last night:

Translation: I love you mom. You are a great mom. Did you know that you are the most beautiful-est ? You have beautiful lips. Mom you have beautiful eyes. Mom you have beautiful hair. Mom make me smile :) I will clean every day. I love you. You make my heart feel super happy. Lots of hugs and kisses. He is so amazing and sweet and thoughtful! I am so lucky!!
