Easter weekend

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend!

On Saturday, we went to Subway for breakfast and took advantage of the buy one 6 inch sandwich before 9 am, get one free.

Tanzi continued to love this quilt my mom gave us. He digs a perfect spot and settles in.

April photo a day on Saturday was shadow. This is before we took a walk.

Finally got close enough to some daffodils when I found some in my in-laws’ front yard yesterday.

After celebrating my father-in-law’s birthday last night, we played ping pong on the kitchen table.

Started this book and it is really interesting so far.

And here are some images from my Easter Sunday!

Candy at mom and dad’s house.

Mom and I. Matching in yellow tops and dark jeans.

My funny nephews.

Brother and nephew.

Nathan and I.

Owen and I.

Three generations. Brother, nephews, dad.

Owen and my oldest brother.

Dairy Queen ice cream cake! Too bad the people whose birthdays we were celebrating didn’t even show up.

I burned off my huge piece of cake by playing soccer with my nephews and brother. I missed playing soccer! It’s such a great way to run around and get your heart rate up.

And finally, the inside of my wallet, which is today’s photo a day.

I enjoyed spending Easter with my family! My husband went to his family’s party. So not ready to go back to work tomorrow after a long weekend.

Spring has arrived!

Hooray–signs of spring were everywhere today! I went for a walk around the block for a break during my work day and didn’t wear a coat because it was near 60 degrees out. I left work with the windows down and enjoyed the sun beating down on my face. The snow is FINALLY melting bit by bit.

Craig and I went for a walk around our neighborhood for the first time since November. There were birds chirping in the trees and I saw and heard a beautiful robin chirping in the tree above us, which made me so happy.

Breakfast was Chobani plain non-fat greek yogurt with sliced almonds and honey.

Snack at work was the granola bar I made on Sunday plus a yogi green tea kombucha. I read the Food section of the paper while I took a break with my snacks.

Lunch featured an Amy’s vegetable pot pie, an applesauce and a Kind Dark Chocolate cherry cashew bar because I wanted something sweet. It was a yummy flavor! Very dessert like and hard to stop eating. This one featured 14g of sugar, 4g of protein and came in at 180 calories. Total fat was 9 g.

After work, I decided to run some errands and use this as my rest day instead of heading to the gym. I went to Kohl’s to use a coupon that expired today. I also shopped for toasters and took a picture of this model to do some research on it. We need a new toaster badly, but my husband and I are both researchers, so I need to look some models up online before buying. Oh and I need the magical 30% off Kohl’s coupon before I consider buying a toaster from Kohl’s!

I also ran to Target for some other things. Per usual, I spent about $50 on random things after I just went in for some laundry detergent, toilet paper and febreeze. I finally broke down and bought some Cadbury mini eggs, so I snacked on those when I got in the car. They are my favorite Easter candy of all time.

Dinner was two pierogi with brussell sprouts, tomatoes and part of a french baguette.

Dessert was a mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich.

I’m really tired & have a headache (which I rarely get), so I am going to sign off now, read my book and go to bed early tonight.
