The theme of the day was LEFTOVERS. For those of you who come to our Superbowl party next year: No matter what I tell you at the time, you are only allowed to bring raw veggies, fruit trays and multigrain crackers. Oh, and pigs in a blanket because I don’t like those. My postpartum ass (literally) can’t handle another year of this deliciousness.
(I did end up sending the cupcakes, 7-layer bars and brownie bites to work with Brian today, so I guess that’s progress…)
Anyway, Jack was a good little boy and slept until almost 10:30 this morning. He probably didn’t end up really falling asleep until almost 11 last night, and then was up again at 5 and then at 8 to eat. We were both pretty partied out, I think.
THIS is evidence of why I can’t be trusted. I give you breakfast:
That’s right. Leftover cobbler. Eaten out of the tupperware. *Shame*
We have at least half a pig’s worth of pulled pork in our fridge right now, so lunch was a nice little sandwich with that and some Stubb’s BBQ sauce on an Oroweat thin, along with crudite and leftover crack dip.
So I’ve told you how Jack likes to watch TV, right? Well this is how Brian and I were able to enjoy a quiet dinner tonight:
What’s he watching? One Tree Hill. I kid you not. As Brian put it, “Jack loves his ‘stories’.”
I’m glad to see that he got his mother’s stellar taste in television programming.
Dinner was yet MORE pork. I swear, it’s like the loaves and fishes. Every time I look in the fridge, the tupperware is full again. This time I changed it up a bit (watch out!) but having it on a baked potato with sour cream, cheddar and scallions.
And yeah. Buffalo chicken dip again. It’s just THAT good.
Ever since Jack was born, I’ve been wanting a new initial necklace. Because that’s why you have kids, right? To get more bling? Anyway, I finally ordered one (from my favorite jewelry site):
Isn’t it sweet? A tiny “J” and his birthstone- blue topaz. Blue like his sweet little eyes. I’m never taking it off.
Alright, time for more cobbler. Peace.
I love that necklace! Bookmarking that site for future use.
Aw, that necklace is adorable! How special!
I wouldn’t ever take it off either! One Tree Hill, how funny!
LOVE that necklace. It is so beautiful and sweet.
I just bought some of those Oroweat sandwhich thins and really like them. Great for South Beach that I am doing.
Girl, I say there is no shame in using up leftovers. If they happen to be crack dip and cobbler, so be it.
Heather, I love your blog and your little boy is so sweet! You should add him to your crew under the About page.
Let me preface this by saying that I don’t expect you to answer the following questions – they may be too personal. If so, I’m sorry!
I know you’ve been trying to get back into your groove and eat healthier, etc. I’ve been wondering how that is going? By the looks of things your meals are pretty healthy, so good for you! You are an inspiration. I’ve got about 25 extra pounds myself – and I haven’t even had a baby!
Hi! I know- I need to add Jack ASAP. Chloe and Piper are no longer the “babies.” Ugh- I’m definitely trying to eat healthier and have lost about 30 lbs of the baby weight… but I still have 15 to go before pre-baby weight (and a LOT more before happy weight). I think the key is to get back into running. Unfortunately the weather has not been cooperating lately, but I’m hoping to start back to a consistent routine next week. I’ll be 30 Day Shredding it as well…
Way to go! Good for you – 30 pounds is no small feat! Hmm, I can’t remember the last time I was at my happy weight. Years ago for sure.
Ah, running. I tried jogging a few weeks ago (took it really slow) and ended up pulling a leg muscle in the process. Also, I’m in Vancouver (2010 Olympics!!) and it’s dark by the time I get home in the evenings. I know though – excuses, excuses.
