It was 70 and sunny and delightful here on friday! (And then on Saturday, in typical Chicago fashion, it snowed 3 inches and was blustery and frigid) but, on Firday spring was in the air!! We had the most delicious dinner of Arugula pesto and spinach linguine. We also painted a chalkboard wall in the kitchen, so we could have an ongoing site for action paintings, recipes, a place to remember a phone # or shopping list, ect ect ect.
We broke it in last night and had more fun then a barrel of monkeys....we're like 2 kids in a candy store. Fun fun fun.
