My Friday Frills - Installment 4

So, I missed last week because we ended up going out of town for a few days. Here's what's been on my list for the past two weeks - TGIF!

1. The Beach House: I am lucky enough to have in-laws with a
beach house that they so kindly let us frequent. With some of the warm weather we have been having, I am so looking forward to spending many Spring & Summer weekends down there. Monkey is at the age where he is really excited about it as well, and has taken to both the ocean & the boat (and more importantly, the
life jacket because there was a time when we thought we could never boat again with the tantrums that ensued when putting that blasted thing on!!). I have so many memories from growing up of spending time at the NC beaches, so I look forward to creating some with my kids.

2. Swim Lessons: Oh, my son will learn to swim this Spring - he has no choice :) I say that jokingly because the thought of managing two children at the pool who cannot swim is a bit overwhelming at this point! Swim lessons start next week at the YMCA - this will be his first time with a group lesson, which I actually think will suit him better than the private ones he took this past summer. He loves the water, just hates putting his face in - We'll see how it goes...

3. Top Chef All-Stars: Have I mentioned how much I love this show? And, it's just a bonus that this season it has all of these wonderful past chefs on it. It is what I look forward to watching most during the week - I seem to always walk away from it feeling inspired, and somehow I manage to create at least one excellent dinner a week because of the inspiration. Do you watch? I'm rooting for Carla or Richard.
