Twisted Roosters and Dog Toys….Or the most random post ever.

Why is it that the one hour time change gets me every time? It felt like Sunday flew by and my whole day was thrown out of whack. The only good thing about springing forward is that I was able to walk Wrigley at 7:00 last night and it wasn’t pitch black.
This weekend was pretty low key at our house. We are still waiting on a few bids to come in before we decide who is going to help us remodel our bathroom. And I still need to pick out tile and a counter top. And a paint color. And new fixtures. I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it!

In other news, on Saturday we went to Costco and scored the “deal of the week” according to the Costco check out lady. A three pack of “amigos” dog toys for $1.97! Yes! Regardless of how Wrigley looks in this photo, he was excited. Trust me.
Wrigley also got two walks, a trip to the dog park, and a bath on Sunday. He was a busy boy.
The husband and I went for a date night to a new restaurant in town called the Twisted Rooster. It was delicious! And they try to use mostly local food….win.
The food portions were huge, so we shared a wedge salad and this amazing “twisted” macaroni. It had asparagus, peas, roma tomatoes, and chicken in it. Yum. And then we shared an ice cream stuffed brownie for dessert.
On Sunday the husband had some friends over for their fantasy baseball draft. And I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture! Just imagine six guys crammed into our family room each with a laptop chatting about baseball. It was sort of hilarious. I mostly avoided the draft by going to the gym and doing laundry, but according to the husband it was a successful night.
So, how was your weekend???

    haha My brother had all his friends over for the same thing on Sunday. I'll assume it looked the same way for you, just bigger boys since my brother is 15.

    I'm sure Wrigley loves those toys! They would be torn to shreds at our house within the week, unfortunately.
    So happy about the time change – walks will be much more enjoyable now that they won't be in the dark!

    Your blog looks nice, even so it would be far better if you’ll be able to use lighter colors too as a professional design. This will make sure that a lot more readers come to check it out.Informative post by the way!
