Saturday Afternoon Lunch

July 16, 2011

I love Saturdays!!! It’s so nice to sleep in and catch up on things that I don’t have time to do during the week. Today, I caught up on some cleaning, while Andrew made us lunch. I love it when we trade. If I go to the gym, he makes dinner. If I clean, he makes lunch. Sounds good to me.  So today he made us some delicious chicken pesto panini sandwiches with pear slices on the side.
