Weekend Recap & A Giveaway :)

Where did this weekend go?
I can not believe that it's Sunday night already :( 
It was a fun and beautiful weekend and I'm sort of sad that it had to end so fast, except for the
fact that Miguelito is officially off for Spring Break and he doesn't go back to school
until Wednesday - April 27th.
This promises to be a week full of lots of adventures including a special visit to
the New York Botanical Garden, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with some yummy pizza waiting 
at the end of the bridge, lots of walking around Central Park, and lots more exciting adventures. 
Lots of pictures to come :)
In the meantime I will recap our weekend in pictures and announce a special and 
unexpected giveaway :)

 I have recently been obsessed with anything and everything Matryoshka dolls :)
Karen over at Celebrate Life was hosting a giveaway to celebrate the date that all of their
adoption paperwork was registered in Ukraine :)
The giveaway prize was some Matryoshka dolls stationery, and guess what??
I was one of the lucky winners - yay :) Doing my happy dance!!
It was SO exciting to open my mailbox Saturday afternoon and find a package full of goodies.
Not only did she send me the pretty stationery but she also sent along a pretty little cloth Matryoshka doll.
"Because Big Girls deserve dolls too" - Karen
Thank you sweet girl I loved everything .


Hanging out with my boys in Target and trying out Cowboy hats :)


 Baking Easter cupcakes for Miguelito's Sunday religious classes :)
Note: I was up until 2:00am decorating and baking cupcakes, the love of a mommy.

Taking Manhattan to Central Park for the first time on Sunday :)
Beautiful weather plus Miguelito & Manhattan equals a most wonderful day!!

Miguelito & me cartoon style :)
As we walked out of Central Park, we saw a little crowd around a young man who
was drawing free cartoon portrait.
How could we say no??
I will never stop saying how much I love my city, I love going out and always bumping
into fun and free activities :)

I also got to make a quick pit stop at my movie place Sunday morning,
I went to stock up on movies including
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
I accidentally grabbed two copies, that goes to show where my mind was at!!

    Love the photos from Target! Such a sweet picture of you and your loves! Miguelito looks good in that cowboy hat :) Looks like he's ready for Texas!! hehe :)

    You make the prettiest desserts and treats! :) How special that Miguelito has an amazing mom! I love how you always make special memories with him and make every holiday so festive!! You're right, the love of a mommy! :)

    I love, love, love, love the cartoon forms of you two!!! The artist did such an amazing job! He captured your likeness and Miguelito's sooo perfectly!!! I love it :) You need to frame those and hang them in your house :) So pretty!

    What an amazing and generous give away!!! :) I was giggling at how it came about :) But lucky for us your mind was elsewhere haha I love HP (my husband is OBSESSED with the books and movies) and I love you!

    If I won, I would pick 1) Tangled 2) Narnia - The Voyage of Dawn 3) Due Date *All of which I haven't seen yet so it would be perfect! :) I picked Due Date third because that is a movie Philip would enjoy! :)

  4. p.s. I didn't mean to leave a novel of a comment hahaha :)

    But for my second entry: I LOVE "Notting Hill" and one of my favourite quotes from it is of course Anna Scott: I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
    LOVE IT! :)

  10. One of my favourite movies is 'Love, Actually'. One of my favourite quotes is right at the beginning:
    Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around.

    I think about this quote a lot when I'm feeling down and it makes me smile and appreciate what I have :)

  12. My favorite movie is Muppet Christmas Carol- the best quote from the movie is :boomerang fish, boomerang fish- I throw it away and it comes back to me aha! Boomerang Fish, boomerang fish!"

    I said this for years and my family had no idea where I got it (even though we watched the movie quite often- one day it hit them!) You have to say it in just the right voice and really- it just makes you smile:)
