yesterday,like i said before, was just a day of relaxation. the only thing worth mentioning that i can remember is that we watched slumdog millionare. i had never seen it before, and i really liked it! i can see why it won all sorts of awards and honors.
today we all slept in(including connor!). justin had to work so me and my sister watched connor and moulin rouge,one of our favorite movies. i remember when we were younger we would drive around in my car singing along to the songs, sam singing one harmony while i sang the other. it was fun to do that again(minus the driving around in my car part),definitely something i missed that we don't get to do too often anymore.
my sister likes to put flowers on her porch during the spring time,so we drove to lowes to pick out some really pretty ones. i got to help her plant them!
yep,that's how hot it was!i LOVED it!
sunny+clear skies=my favorite:
our flower planting supplies:

this was actually an unexpectedly kind of fun project. i definitely could see myself doing this kind of thing if/when i own a house of my own. it didn't cost too much and didn't take too much time. after they're planted,you just gotta water them to maintain them...sounds good to me! who knew the ottoson girls were so domesticated???
we then left for dinner to red robin(YUMMMMMMM!),and it was deeeelish,as per usual.
after dinner we felt it was only right to reward ourselves for our hard work today by making a special dessert. you are looking at chocolate thin mint ice cream with chocolate cone dip on top, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie on top.
i was still sooooooo full from dinner so i could only eat about half,but the half that i did eat made my mouth sooooo happy.
have i ever mentioned that my nephew connor is a funny guy? he really is such a goofball. today my favorite goofball moment of his was when he went into the hallway,grabbed his dads shoes,brought them back to the living room and put them on! he then walked around,fell down,stood up,and went right back to walking,repeatedly.
i think we're about to watch inglorious bastards then call it a night(i've never seen it,but isn't that movie like 17 hrs long?)
only a day and a half left! i'm sure it will go by toooooo fast.
