Week 7

Welcome back and happy Tuesday. That long weekend sure was nice and we even had more sunshine than I expected so that was a great bonus. This coming week should be much drier than the past couple weeks and we'll take it.  Even though last week was wet and wild we still had a pretty fun-packed week with a lot of good eats.

Take a look at week's pictures:

Day 42- Monday, 2/11/19

I'm Starting the week off in the Tupper lab testing plates to make sure they can grow bacteria commonly found to cause mastitis in dairy cows.

Day 43- Tuesday, 2/12/19

It's early evening and we're watching as the storm systems start to move in.  Justin is looking forward to walking in the rain because he loves this weather.  I just hope it doesn't get too windy for the umbrella.

Day 44- Wednesday, 2/13/19

We're in the thick of it.  It's supposed to rain on and off for the next few days but today will probably be the worst of it.  At work I was running back and forth between buildings getting soaked and at home it was too wet for bikes so a rainy-day school pick-up was in order.  It was pretty messy out there especially on the roads. Things will get better here over the next few days but worse in the mountains.  It's dumping many feet of snow up there--crazy!

Day 45- Thursday, 2/14/19

Happy Valentine's Day!  We celebrated at home after work with a nice family dinner, a good wine toast, and a yummy dessert that Justin helped me make--strawberry shortcake.

Day 46- Friday, 2/15/19

The kids were home yesterday and today so I took the day off today too to spend with them.  We decided to check out a new aquarium in Folsom called SeaQuest which was a fun thing to do on another rainy day.  Later John and I met the Wongs back in Folsom for a night out and this was our awesome dessert after dinner. Yum!

Day 47- Saturday, 2/16/19

We're chillin at home today getting chores done and playing with pets.  Rusty likes blanket tents and hurried over to check out the one Brandon just made for him on the couch.  They played peek-a-boo for a good bit before they both decided to move on.  He found a nice quiet place to nap and Brandon tried to play basketball outside before deciding the wind was too much and computer gaming might be a better idea.

Day 48- Sunday, 2/17/19

Date night!  We decided to hold off on our real Valentine's date until Sunday since it was easier to get a table at a decent hour and we could also fit in a movie.  Why not? Tomorrow is a holiday so no need to prep for work.

That's it for this week.  I need to get back to simple, clean eating and more physical activity next week.  It's time to shed the winter fluff and get ready for spring and summer even if the weather says otherwise.  Hope to see you next week.
