And in other big news, Sonny D went poop on the potty on Sunday morning! He declared he had to go potty, and when we got in there he said he had to poop, so we read a book and hung out for a couple minutes and then he pooped. Totally awesome. And then he wore underwear for the rest of the morning until it was nap time. He used to go poop on the potty but then he stopped when he went to daycare last November.
- Monday - chicken fried rice with carrot, peas, cauliflower, onion, garlic, etc. I want to make English muffin bread and crustless pumpkin pie but I think I might only accomplish going grocery shopping with Sonny D instead. Maybe Husband Jeff will be in charge of making the bread and taking the pie out of the oven while we're out.
- Tuesday - Happy birthday to my friend Renae! Husband Jeff and I are planning a date night, starting with a workout together. We were talking about seeing a movie out, but it doesn't look like there's anything we want to see, so maybe we'll get a movie from Red Box or watch something on Netflix. Maybe we'll grab some dinner out that Sonny D would never eat, that mainly means Mexican/spicy.
- Wednesday - I'm taking the day off since I've got time off I have to use before the end of the year. I've got PiYo class again in the evening, so for a quick dinner I'm going to make a frozen entree of shrimp risotto.
- Thursday - Happy Thanksgiving! Since we don't have any family plans on actual Thanksgiving day, we're planning to go out to Fugu for a meal at some point. It's supposed to be authentic Chinese food, not the American stuff you get everywhere else. I wanted to go the non-standard route, I didn't want the typical restaurant buffet that tries to recreate a traditional Thanksgiving meal. They've got a lot of spicy interesting dishes, so I think I'm going to order a variety so I can try more than one thing.
- Friday - This is another day off for us. We're taking Sonny D for his 3-year-old checkup and they said he's going to get at least one shot. Poor kid. I think we'll reward him with a trip to the play area at the mall afterwards. We've been going there a lot, I love it since it's free and he really enjoys playing there. We need to take advantage of it now, before he only prefers the expensive places or he's too old for it. For dinner we'll pull out some of the pesto I froze over the summer and have pesto pasta with chicken. I keep forgetting, pesto is one of the few green things Sonny D will eat, along with avocado and green grapes.
- Saturday - My family is celebrating Thanksgiving today. I'm hoping to visit our friends Mike & Emilie on the way since they live near my parents. For our meal we're having a partially traditional meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, but we're also having ribs and making egg rolls.
- Sunday - The weekly northside winter market is happening in the morning, maybe we'll go since we haven't gone for the last couple of weeks. Later we're planning to go get a Christmas tree and have lunch with Husband Jeff's parents. For dinner we're having homemade chicken tikka masala that I froze, along with a couple pouches of Indian side dishes and rice.
