Date night/day :)

A few weeks ago Kevin and I got to do the very rare...we went on a date!

Having two kiddos and insanely busy schedules sometimes makes it hard for us to find chances to just spend time together. So on this day we decided to let my parents watch the girls and we "hit the town"! After much debate on where exactly we should go (I mean come on folks these dates are few and far between, we should have just hopped a plane to an island!!! Since we never know when we will get our much adored alone time together) But we settled on our favorite vegetarian restaurant, and piled our plates high with organic veggies...MMMMM!!!

It was good to sit and talk about things other than bills,money,kids,work,things that need to be fixed,money,time management,did I mention money? Yeah it was nice to have a break from all that stuff! Kevin and I truly do not have a perfect relationship, we fight HARD, and we love HARDER , I'm surely not trying to paint a perfect picture of our relationship on here, but I am emphasizing that we do love each other and despite of our down times we are committed to trying our best to make this work. And one sure way for this is every now and then sneaking off for quick dates together to remind ourselves how great it is to not have to be so responsible and just be in love.:)

So, after we devoured our salads and pastas and had lovely conversation, we decided to head to the book store.

Kevin hunted through the stacks of pretty books and I settled on glossy copies of art and fashion magazines.

We soon decided we wanted to get in some retail therapy so we headed to our favorite thrift store. Kevin got army pants and a shirt,and I got this cute skirt and belt:)

All in all it was a good simple date...now all this talk about dating makes me want to go on another one, with Mr. K...hmmm maybe I'll ask him out for Saturday?! (Let me check my schedule) ;)

silly face fun for a silly cheap price!

A few weeks ago, Zoe, Amelie and I got a chance to play with a cheap little toy I picked up at target the other day.

Silly faces sticker set! It was a whoopin $2.99! And the stickers can be moved around again and again so basically it's the toy that keeps on a-givin'!
YAY!


Here's what we had to work with...

I really liked this toy because it allowed for imaginable play for Zoe and was easy enough for Amelie to manipulate and work with her hand coordination with moving the stickers to different places.
Having children that are at different age levels and trying to find toys they both can play with can be a bit challenging, so I was very happy to find something they could both play with alone or together with very little help from me.


I have such a great time playing with my little princesses, every little thing we do together becomes purely magic. And with me becoming more and more busy with things outside of the house, any time I get to spend with them is truly golden. I do honestly miss the days of my life as a SAHM, but now that I work, go to school, etc., I feel that I cherish the times I get to spend with Zoe and Amelie even more. So, simple toys like this mean the works to us, and hours of fun stories we can come up with for the little people they create!
But anything that makes these two faces happy is well worth it!

Especially when they make silly faces like these:

I've said this so many times on here that I don't think it takes millions of dollars to make kids happy,the simple act of spending time with them can mean the world to toddlers and small children.:)

long time no post...(the lazy Kornelsons Sunday style)

About two weeks ago something unheard of in a Sizzling Southern Summer happened in our little abode....THE AIR UNIT DIED!!!! Now some of you may be thinking "oh goodness Adrienne people CAN survive without an AC unit!!" WEll....yes they can but not on the hottest summer days in Tennessee when the heat index is 120!!!!!!!!!! So after the girls and i got home from church and Kevin finally got up (he works wacky schedules and sometimes sleeps during the day for work) we all made a quick trip downtown to our favorite restaurant Green Frog Coffee Company.

For yummy food and cool air!!!



I seriously think its my favorite place to eat in town.And to top things off they have the most amazing chocolate milkshakes that will put a smile on the grumpiest persons face any day! I must note that the sandwich I pictured is called "the fricken sandwich" !! Isn't that funny?!?! It has grilled chicken and truly southern fried pickles on it!! MMMMMMMMM! After we all devoured our food we decided to take a SHORT walk around downtown.

I really love downtowns in any city we are in.There is always such a rich history and so many beautiful old buildings that truly have stories to tell.




Zoe and Amelie really love our downtown adventures, quite a few stores downtown,and Kevin and I have event talked to people about the possibility of us opening a store of our own downtown,but right now we just want to focus on all the things we have going on now and maybe in the next few years that dream will become a reality, For now we just enjoy our family strolls to look at the other cute shops and history that flows from downtown.

I always look back fondly at the memories I have from my childhood in Northern California,I can remember going with my mom to Berkeley to wait for my dad to get off work and we would wait inside the art museum.Maybe this is where my love of art came from, and maybe this is where my need ot go on constant mini adventures with my family started. I hope that Zoe and Amelie will remember all the neat mini exploration adventures we go on when they are older. But I wont worry about things that far into the future ,right now Im satisfied with downtown strolls with my three favorite people.
