Weekend Shenanigans

It has been quite the busy last couple weekends! I am currently winding down with what will probably be a mock-able movie, Beastly and some Trader Joes Moscasto.

I was going to write a post re-capping our adventures in Cincinnati, OH last weekend, but my girl AlliFerg beat me to it. So head over to her blog to read about that fabulous trip. Here's a couple pics to tide you over:



Now, fast forward to this weekend. Friday night I was able to tear my husband away from the books for a nice dinner in downtown Lisle. Randomly, there was also a parade of Beauty Queens and car show going on as well. It was actually all quite charming. We had dinner at a little Mexican restaurant called Yerbabuena and both really enjoyed the food and plan on going back.



Chicken Cheese Enchiladas!

Steak Fajitas
Saturday morning we started off with a trip to the dog park since it was so nice out. Izzie promptly got into the mud.
Needless to say - they got baths when we got home.


Later on Saturday I went grocery shopping. I went to not one, not two, but three stores! I started off with Aldi, then had my first experience at Trader Joes - which may possibly be my new favorite store-  and then finished up at Dominicks to get a few of our staples. I am really looking forward to trying some new dishes and pumped about all of the fresh fruit I got too!

Last night we grilled out and then hit up the IMAX to see Transformers. It was epic. However, it was a little  disconcerting to see Chicago blown to bits - even if it was by robot aliens. Look at how huge the 3D glasses are now!


Here's a little preview of the movie too! I totally enjoyed it - I can't believe that Brandon had to drag me kicking and screaming to see the first one and now they are some of my favorite movies.

1. You all looks totally cute.

2. Yerbabuena = good but expensive.

3. Trader Joe's is THE best store ever. I literally google-mapped the distance between the nearest TJ's and our home before we bought a house. I wasn't willing to live more than 3 miles from one. We live 2.6 miles from the Naperville location. Yes, a little crazy, but I'm from California and they are literally ALL over the place.
