Our Weekend - The One with Olivia's Big Girl Bedroom

It was a nice, normal weekend with gorgeous weather, aside from the crazy amounts of pollen in the air.

Friday evening we ended up staying home.  Olivia ran some kind of weird fever all week from Tuesday until Friday and it was up and down constantly.  A lot of the time it was very low-grade, but it spiked a few times throughout the week making her feel cranky and tired.  Friday morning she woke up fever free so we sent her to school (she had missed Thursday), but just as we got home from school her fever spiked again and she snuggled up on the couch and went to sleep.  While she slept, Jacob and I had some fun!  He’d been requesting to take a picture like Olivia did with her princesses a while back, but he wanted to take his with his superheroes.  :o)

B brought home Cracker Barrel veggies for dinner and then we spent the rest of the evening watching Mulan together since we wanted Olivia to rest.  After the kiddos went to bed, B and I watched a couple of episodes of Season 2 of The OA that was released on Friday. 

Saturday morning I made some homemade waffles for breakfast (our Saturday tradition), and then I spent the rest of the day in Olivia’s bedroom painting.  I was torn between Agreeable Gray and Repose Gray, and I ended up going with Repose because it’s slightly cooler.  It’s absolutely perfect and I’m dying to paint our entire first level of our house in Repose now.  I think it might just be the perfect paint color for any and every room of any house!

My allergies have been horrid all week so I have been avoiding the outdoors at all costs, so I literally didn’t set foot outside until 5 PM when it was time to leave for church.  Got halfway down our street and had an asthma attack.  That’s how bad the pollen is here right now.  I don’t think it’s ever been this bad before, and it makes me so sad that I’m wasting away our beautiful spring weather indoors.  Gotta do what you gotta do, though, I suppose. 

After church, we met my parents, uncle, brother and SIL and the kids at one of our favorite pubs for dinner, and then Saturday evening was spent watching more of The OA.  Y’all, that show is just so freaking weird and I’m totally confused and don’t even really know what’s going on, but I can’t. stop. watching.  There’s just something about it!

Sunday morning I started putting some of the finishing touches on Olivia’s big girl room.  It’s not quite done yet still, but I made so much progress.  I got her little princess dress holder hung back on the wall, got all of her dress-up clothes in her new basket, hung her new canopy over the head of the bed (she is obsessed and I am, too!), and we hung her new mirror over her dresser.  I still have to paint her book case, paint her lamp, hang a garland or two, and find something to hang on the wall next to her window, but then it will be all done!  Her room is quickly becoming my favorite room in the house and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Sunday afternoon we had lunch at my MIL and step-FIL’s after a three week hiatus, so it was good to see everyone and be back in the swing of things.  The weather was perfection despite the thick pollen, so I braved it and spent a good hour on the back deck.  I managed to keep it all in check thanks to my rescue inhaler, and it was good to get some outdoor air and sunshine after being cooped up inside for so long.

Side note, I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect outfit combo for me ever - black polka dots on a white background, blush pink, and gold.  All of my favorite things that I've loved since I was a little girl!

Sunday evening my brother and sister-in-law had us over for dinner since my Momma wasn’t cooking, and it was a great ending to the weekend.  Our Sunday dinner has been disrupted for the last couple of weeks, too, so it was just what I needed after our weird weekend last weekend.  I just love my people and our Sunday tradition.

This week the kiddos are on Spring Break, and we’re hoping to make the most of the week and end March on a good note!  We’ll be heading to Atlanta later this week for a fun little getaway, and I’m so excited for all of the fun things on deck! 

I’ll be back here Wednesday with a post that many of you have requested!  See you then!

Happy Monday, y’all!
