Double Date Night and Lucas Gets His First Haircut

By Courtney 37 Comments

Happy Monday to you all! And happy last week of February at that – crazy! But hey, that just means we’re one day/week closer to spring, and I’m a-okay with that.

So how was the weekend? Do anything awesome? We had some great highlights, one of them being a double date night out on Saturday with our best buds, Joe and Kate!

City Beer Hall

Oh, how we miss seeing them more often!

City Beer Hall

We started out night out at The City Beer Hall, which you guys have seen on here a couple of times.

City Beer Hall

Their draft menu is always changing and I wasn’t sure what to try, but I wound up going with the Maredsous Abbey Brune and it was incredible. Somewhat of a darker ale, but with fruity notes as well.

I’ll definitely be on the lookout for this again!

As per the usual drill, with our pints of beer, we got our free tickets for pizza, so we snagged a couple of them to share with the table.

For my dinner, I ended up ordering their Quinoa and Lentil Burger which was out. of. this. world. That’s not typically something I’d order while out, but I seriously need to figure out how to recreate it now.

Yay for parents’ night out!

After dinner, we walked the short trip over to the Times Union Center to watch the Siena basketball game.

Jay and I got a 4-pack of tickets for Christmas from my in-laws, so we invited Joe and Kate along as our guests. We have a history of attending their games from way back in the day, so we figured it’d be a fun way to “rekindle” old memories.

IMG_0479IMG_0481

We did a pretty good job. Winking smile

During half time, I absolutely had to go back out to one of the booths that we had passed on our way in because, seriously, they were selling cookie dough.

IMG_0477

And they were the size of golf balls (or bigger) and they were insaaaaaaane. I got two because my eyes were definitely way bigger than my belly and I couldn’t finish them…that should tell you something.

After the game, we hit up another bar next door for some fun and then we called it a night. So. Much. Fun!

Sunday consisted of some of the usual stuff around the house…hanging with the kiddo, grocery shopping, food prepping, a great workout, some blog stuff…and then once Lucas woke up from his nap, we headed over to my parents’ house.

My brother brought his puppy Binx (who is getting SO big!), but Lucas wasn’t a huge fan.

family

Soon enough, I’m sure he’ll come around.

Yesterday was also a big day because the little man got his first haircut.

We attempted standing up and then kind of shimmied him around a bunch in my mom’s chair with me (she’s a hairdresser and has a setup in their basement) and let him watch some Big Block Singsong on the phone.

He actually did pretty well, and we were able to finish in no time! Granted, we really weren’t cutting much…the child is just starting to really grow some hair…but we cleaned up the back and around the ears a bit and it’s much better.

IMG_0510

So fresh and handsome!

After haircuts for the boys (I’m heading back hopefully this week to get mine done) we were treated to a delicious turkey dinner, courtesy of my mama.

And even got dessert, too. Marble cake with chocolate filling and my all-time favorite almond buttercream frosting.

And now, I’m finishing up this post as I watch the Oscars…love me some Neil Patrick Harris! Who else was watching last night? Did anyone else watch the interview with Dakota Johnson and Melanie Griffith on the red carpet?

Talk about awkwaaaarrrrd!

    Selling cookie dough is a thing?! I've got to find somewhere that sells it around here. Half of the time, my cookie dough never makes it to cookies...oops. I love the "First Haircut" box. I've never seen one of those before, but what a sweet idea. Happy Monday!

    Your Saturday looks like it was a blast! I have made lentil burgers before and they were surprisingly way way better than you would ever guess. Next time I will try to add in some quinoa!

    Glad you guys had a fun night out with friends! We were stuck in another weekend due to bad weather over here. Hoping to get a date night next weekend! Yes, spring please come! Lucas looks so cute! Was tough to do Rocco's first haircut! My best friend is a hairdresser and she came over to do it. We just had him sit in his highchair, it worked! He needs another one very soon! Oh and you should totally buy a food truck and sell cookie dough! How awesome would that be?! Happy Monday, love! <3

    Your burger looks pretty darn awesome...and that cookie dough?! Oh wow, that'd be right up my alley. I would've totally gone for two as well. I fell asleep half way through the Oscar's, so now I'm intrigued about this interview you're speaking of!

    I would love to find a place like that cookie dough booth! Does that mean it doesn't have egg in it or was safe to eat? I eat cookie dough with egg in it all the time though... oops!

      Nope, no eggs! They had it right on the sign on the counter so I saw that and said YES - sign me UP! (and yeah, I still eat raw cookie dough with eggs in it at home too...ahh well) ;)

    Marble cake is the best! My husband and I used to go to a lot of hockey games with friends in high school so anytime we go now (especially to smaller level ones, not NHL) it always brings back a ton of fun memories. Glad you had a great weekend!
