A Slight Chill in the Air May 6, 2012

Today we celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday and Mother’s Day a little early. Lots of fun was had by all when we gathered at a park for a picnic. Chris and I orchestrated the soiree and brought hamburgers, hotdogs, and my macaroni salad.

I will admit that it was slightly colder out that was anticipated. Boulder has been 80* for the past few days. Today however, it dipped down to 60, stayed cloudy, and had a hint of rain in the air.

(not a picture from our picnic today, as it did rain and I forgot to bring my camera)

We did have lots of fun, my nephews liked the playground and got to practice playing catch, Oliver enjoyed being outdoors for the afternoon, and I liked spending time with the family. Good times, and good eats.

On a separate note, Happy 9 month birthday, Oliver!!!

What a cutie!

The first day back at work after vacation is difficult. This is especially the case if you have been constantly running around with your family for a week. Good fun was had by all, but I didn’t sleep as much as I should have liked. 9:00 came very early this Wednesday morning.

Seeing the kids however, definitely makes my day! It is so nice to have people excited to see you after a week. Smiling faces and giant hugs surrounding you. Definitely delightful.

That being said, I was certainly happy to have a bit of time to myself for lunch.

This was a great way of using leftovers from when my family was here. Meatball sub (using the meatballs from the spaghetti) and macaroni salad that Mum made (for our grilling night) definitely a delicious meal.

For the macaroni salad:

Ingredients:

Macaroni, Greek Yogurt, Mustard, Orange Bell Pepper, Corn Kernels, Radishes, Dill

Recipe:

Boil the macaroni according to package instructions. Run under cold water to cool. Set Aside. Mix together the yogurt, mustard, dill, corn, peppers and radishes. Mix into the macaroni. Enjoy!
