Happy
Monday, everybody!
I’ll
be honest, I wasn’t sure whether or not I was even going to do a post today
because I’m still reeling over what happened to a fellow blogger last week, and
I’m still on the fence about what to do…
Our
weekend was pretty great despite the turmoil in my head over this whole
blogging thing. Friday evening was
picture perfect – Carrabba’s takeout, a glass of wine, incredible weather, and
our favorite tunes playing on the back porch.
Aside from the full moon induced excessive whining from two littles at
the start of the evening, it was nothing short of heaven. We stuffed our faces, we drank, we relaxed,
the babies played out in the yard. I so
love these evenings on the back porch with my favorite people. Such a great way to end a long and stressful
week.
Saturday
morning we awoke to full on party prep.
For what, I’m not going to disclose at this time as I have an entire
post dedicated to it sometime in the near future. It was a lot of fun, and the kids got to
spend the morning with all of their favorite people.
After
the party, Jacob spent some time playing with his new loot and I got to lay out
in the back yard and read for the second weekend in a row! Heaven!
Then, in the evening we went to church and then out for Mex with my
paretns, and we splurged and stopped by Dairy Queen on the way home so the kids
could have a Blizzard. We turned on the
twinkle lights just for the Blizzard eating and ate them on the back porch.
Sunday
was spent with our families – lunch with B’s fam and dinner with my fam. The weather was amazing all weekend so we
spent a good deal of time outside. The
kids’ new favorite thing to do is dig in the dirt with shovels and find rocks
in Nana’s garden, so they did just that.
I
honestly didn’t even take that many pictures this weekend, probably subconsciously
because of everything that’s been going on, but I thought that I would share
the few that I did take. I hope that you
all have a wonderful week!

Sounds like a really nice weekend! Can't wait to hear what the party was for! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for great weekends. :) I hear you on he blogging front. Hence why I didn't post today.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect weekend to me! We spent lots of time outside and on our porch too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend! I have been craving a Blizzard - what a yummy treat. So nice you got a little backyard time in for yourself! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds amazing!! We had lots of nice weather here too so we spent so much time outside and it felt great!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear about this party! Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend. We did a whole lot of nothing here. Love that picture of Maui. Once Leonidas gets groomed, I have to try to get a similar shot and put them side by side. I love that she has a little tail (that sounds so weird, lol). Leonidas just has a teeny little nub. Otherwise, totally twins.
ReplyDeleteSo much excitement over this party - can't wait to hear more!! Sorry to hear you are still reeling with what happened last week...it's tough but you're taking precautions which is great! xo, biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteNothing beats spending an evening sitting outside and enjoying the weather and a beverage! And seriously jealous you guys got Dairy Queen..that is a HUGE Minnesota weakness for me come summertime! :-)
