Pancakes and Picking Up

It was a pretty uneventful weekend in the Foley house. We didn't have any parks, petting zoos, or fairs to explore. Instead we stayed low-key, partly because of the heat, and partly because we've been so darn busy over the last few weeks and months.

On Saturday we ventured out separately, with me running errands while Nathan and Bridget headed to Berkeley (so Nathan could check out the Adidas store). He didn't capture any pictures, but it was a pretty uneventful outing for them. The one highlight was when they stopped at Toys R Us and the one thing Bridget HAD TO HAVE was plastic replica of a Deer fawn. You'll see it in the toy picture below.

On Sunday morning we had a late breakfast and made pancakes out of a whip cream can. Have you ever heard of this? I sure had not, but stumbled upon it during my Saturday grocery expedition. They turned out pretty good! But I find it hilarious that they put the word "organic" on the can. Seems like an oxymoron considering it probably has tons of preservatives and is not packaged in the most earth-friendly way.



Nathan headed into San Francisco Sunday afternoon with a coworker for a picnic hosted by a favorite local restaurant and brewery, the 21st Amendment. While he was out, Bridget and I got to work cleaning up and organizing the downstairs. This is something I've been meaning to do since we moved and now the pressure is on with the Oregon Foley's coming into town in 2 weeks!

I sure wish I had snapped a "before" picture because the "after" sure looks a lot different (better). And I am so glad I finally found a place to put my old college bookcase that doesn't seem to match anything.



Nathan brought home a koozy that is meant to go on beer cans but fit Bridget's bottle perfectly. I managed to get a picture of her posing with her eyes open, but couldn't resist posting this one instead -- because she looks SO MUCH like her daddy in this picture. Don't you agree?
