Tuesday Talk | A bunch of random

Tuesday, April 18, 2017

Linking up with Ashley & Erika for...

Today's post is a bunch of randomness!


What are your typical holiday meals?
Say, Easter - Thanksgiving - Christmas
I know everyone is different, but I don't know how to breakaway from the traditional foods of those holidays.
So when I go places and they aren't serving a traditional meal it just drives me nuts!
So what do you eat/make?
I know some cultures are different, and that is totally fine with me.
But I am just curious.



Speaking of food, I mentioned this question on my Show & Tell Prom post and I figured I would ask again here.
Did you eat dinner at prom?
This is always a big discussion at our house because where Mic went to school he did not eat at prom.
They went out to dinner before and then went to the dance at some hall or outside location from the school.
Actually, most of the schools around here are that way.
My prom and most of the ones around my hometown were the exact opposite.
Prom was a big deal.
So you dressed up more than a homecoming dance.
You purchased tickets in advance.
It was open to juniors and seniors only, unless you were the date of one of those students.
Guys wore tuxes.
Some people rode in limos.
And you ate your dinner at prom!
It was a full evening of dinner and dancing.
So adult-like for high school.

What are your favorite no-show sock brands?
I am looking for ones that don't stretch out after just a couple of wears.
Not too bulky or thick.
And comfortable.
Over the years I have bought name brand socks and store brands and they are all over the place.
I used to buy all my sports socks from Old Navy years ago and they were the best!
They changed how they were made and I don't like them at all now :(

That is all for today folks!
Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday :)




Hopped Out!

Happy Monday!
After X being on Spring Break last week (and sick the entire week),
we are glad to be back to our normal routines today!
That might mean this post is getting published around 2pm.

Friday night we just took a drive.
It was great!
I miss the simpler days where Mic and I would just hop in the car and drive around.
No actual plans.
Being in the car always feels good to me :)
We finally stopped at a Mexican restaurant for dinner before heading home.

Saturday morning I was up early to pick up my groceries from Kroger.
Busy weekend and Easter weekend combined, meant it was the perfect time to order things online!
Unfortunately, they were out of a few items but I made it work.
Do you use Kroger Clicklist?

Once home, X and I got ready and headed to a birthday party for one his friends.
While he still wasn't eating much at all by Saturday morning, he seemed to be feeling much better overall.
The kiddos enjoyed pizza,
 a dinosaur egg hunt outside,


taking turns hitting the pinata,



and cupcakes!

 Unfortunately, X was still off his game.
He was extra emotional and even elected to color over running around :(
We ended up leaving early so he could rest a bit before heading up north.

Mic and I headed to A Night at the Duck Races with my dad and step mom.

Dinner, dessert, drinks, raffles and more.
But those super cute 4 day old ducklings stole the show!

My dad sponsored a duck in the 1st race and it won!


Meanwhile, X was with my mom :)
They "cooked" together, 

played bad guys, 

visited the Easter basket at the park,


Yes, that is my adorable niece Lily with X :)

opened Easter baskets,

and snuggled :)

On Sunday I took one, that is right, one picture.

Sometimes that is just how the weekend goes :/
How was your Easter?
This is always a question I find interesting....did you eat ham?
What is your traditional Easter meal?
