Weekend Project: Deck Expansion

How was your weekend?

Spring in NYC

This weekend I tried to spend every minute possible outside. Luckily, I knocked out a majority of my school work on Friday and Sunday morning and was able to play for a bit. 

We went to Central Park for a picnic on Sunday afternoon. It was ridiculously crowded, but we found a spot to spread our blankets.

  Chris got a chance to play with his new helicopter, but had trouble controlling it. I guess with so many people, the signal from his phone ran into too much interference. The second he got it up in the air, he gained a horde of small followers. 4 or 5 children under the age of 6 ran around, following him and the helicopter everywhere they went. It saved him from having to retrieve it every time it crashed. I went over close enough to hear what he was saying to them, and it made me laugh out loud. He was using words like "signal reception" and "elevation". They probably had no idea what he was talking about, but their eyes got so big and he had their full attention because his toy was so cool!

Sunday night, I made a bunch of lasagna. We bought ingredients from Eataly and made it with spinach and spicy sausage. It was delicious! I was nervous because it was the first time I had ever made it without a recipe. Turned out pretty well though!

Gorgeous

Gorgeous afternoon in Fells. I escaped the office for a bit to grab lunch. Got to eat outside and soak up the sun. If I could spend every afternoon outdoors in weather like this, my life would be infinitely happier. Although it's technically still winter, I believe Spring had mercy on me and arrived a bit early. I'm hoping New York will be this pleasant over the weekend. Chris was travelling, so I haven't seen him in three weeks. To say I'm excited to venture north would be a major understatement. I will be locked indoors for a solid portion of the weekend with some lovely take home final exams, but I'm sure  he'll persuade me to spend some outside time at the park. Let's be honest, we all know it won't take much persuading at all! 

I just recently rediscovered this song and have it on repeat today. I always seem to have a song of the moment, am a bit ADD. Do you ever do that? If so, what's your song of the moment?
