How Martha Was I This Weekend?

The weekend revolved around having Price’s brother and sister in town. We got to hang out with them on Friday afternoon and Saturday night. Sunday was relaxing and fun because I got to go to cookie swap with some other Boston Food Bloggers.

Friday-

took a half day at work!

Met Price for lunch at B Good for a veggie burger

Price’s brother and his family arrived in Boston and went to New England Aquarium, we met them there. We all took the boys around to see the fish, turtles, penguins, seals, and octopus.

Headed back to the hotel, helped them get set up in the room. They then went swimming while we took pictures.

While they were drying off and getting ready to go out, Price and I walked to Trader Joe’s for snacks to bring for dinner and then we went to get some Gluten Free beer for me at Coolidge Corner Wine and Spirits.

We all headed over to their friend Mark’s. the 3 kids under 4 played well while we all caught up over enchiladas that Mark made.

Price and I walked home from the hotel after they went back for the night

Saturday-

Saturday morning cleaning- dishes, 3 loads of laundry, vacuumed, wiped down surfaces the kids could get their hands on.

Baby proofed apartment (all my scrapbooking stuff had to be moved!)

Painted my toe nails- bright red!!

Everyone (5 adults, 3 kids) came over to hang out and have dinner

Went with a walk with Addison to get Chinese food

Had dinner, played with kids and then crashed when they left. ha

Sunday-

Leisurely morning

Talked to my mom for hour+

Made dozens of cream cheese spirals for cookie swap

1-4:30pm cookie swap organized by Kathy with Megan and Amanda. We played Bananagrams… I am hooked!

Back home and did dishes from the cookies I made

Watched DVR’d NASCAR race with Price

Took a nap

Left over Chinese food for dinner.

Thought it would be funny to put on fake nails. It is not.

Planned on making roasted chickens to have chicken salad for lunch… FAIL. the 2 whole frozen chickens were bad. So no chicken salad and the apartment smelled like death. yak.
