High Five for Friday!

March 2, 2018

Joining the High Five For Friday linkup hosted by Tif @ Bright On A Budget, 
Katie @ Cup of Tea,  Becky @ BYBMG





1. Friday night was pretty relaxing. We were both kind of exhausted from the week so we decided to try another cheeseless pizza night. I am kind of hoping to make this a regular thing because I love pizza and coming up with new things to put on it! We went with 1)Pineapple, ground beef & jalapenos w/bbq sauce and 2)grilled chicken, onions and tomatoes w/guac on the side 


2.  Thenewguy has been trying to take me out to his favorite steak place for awhile but its way out in the burbs and I am lazy. We finally got to go to Al’s Charhouse and it was fantastic! The steaks were the size of my head!! So crazy and amazingly priced! 


His steak

We should have just shared a steak. Needless to say there were a lot of leftovers!


3. Thenewguy collects these Funko Pops and I have sworn I will not start (I HATE to collect things)But I did mention early on I would only get one if I found a Jasmine (Disney) Pop because they are relatively hard to find…so then he found me one. Recently they released a set and he surprised me this past weekend with the new set! *And I  made him promise there wouldn’t be anymore! 

4. Since we are coming up to the end of ice skating season around here Thenewguy and I decided to make sure we went to downtown and got some skating in. Luckily it was a gorgeous (40°) day! We went ice skating at the Maggie Daley Ice Skating Ribbon (where I wiped out hard after a kid flayed next to me)and then walked around, got some coffee, walked to Navy Pier it was a great time. We even rode the ferris wheel, which I haven’t done since my prom forever ago. 

 5. What better way to end the weekend than with Sushi. Stuffed myself full of the sushi goodness and learned how to finally use Instagram live! It was a perfect night!

    Not sure if it's just my computer, but I can't see your pics. I did see the ice skating one on IG though and it was super cute! Blue refuses to go with me- I've given up trying haha. I'm with you on the Pops! Blue has a HUGE collection (I actually bought her a display case for them, and she needs a bigger one already). But then they came out with the Gilmore Girls ones and I could not resist lol! That's so sweet that he found the Jasmine one for you! Sounds like a great week!

    Yes to all this yummy food. Love the his and hers steaks and pizza. I wish I could have pizza daily, ha. But seriously, I eat it weekly. I love making it at home.
