{our weekend}

{our weekend}

 

I felt like this past weekend was a pretty laid back one, even though we had two birthday parties to attend and spent some good time out on the lake Saturday.  I always feel this way though when we have at least one weekend night of not doing ANYTHING and we are IN town.  We seriously had something going on 7 out of 8 nights last week…so by the time FRIDAY night rolled around (unfortunately, Mikey and I both worked the Friday after the 4th…boo to that!) we were POOPED.  Seriously, we ate at Moe’s,  played with Collins and I was asleep by 10.  WOAH.  That was nice.  So, on Saturday morning I was up and ready to go by 7:30…so what did we do?  We made a family trip to Lowe’s that lasted THREE hours. YIKES.  But, we had LOTS to buy and some pretty detailed purchases to make.  {We finally bit the bullet and ordered the material to install a fence and deck in the back yard.  Cannot wait to make that happen!}  Collins was an ANGEL for about 2.5 hours of the Lowe’s trip…we took turns running around the store and playing with her so she wasn’t bored.  Those last 30 minutes though…she was DONE.  Mikey just took her outside and played (for a change of scenery) while I checked out.  But, seriously…THREE hours in Lowe’s.  WOW. 


I took zero pics on the lake and no pics of any adults at the party Saturday night but here's a pic of c and her bestie, Mary brooks. Can you tell the mamas are best friends, too?!  Almost identical outfits!! 

 

After C took a nap….we headed out on the lake with friends.  This weather is seriously crazy though, y’all.  Beautiful one minute and pouring the next.  We got rained on for about 10 minutes, but it was still a fun few hours spent on the water.

 

On Saturday night we celebrated another 30th birthday! Seriously y’all, this is what happens when you and your husband are the same age…we celebrate 30th birthdays every other weekend it seems.  Lucky for us…this was our friend that just moved to suburbia…so we were close to home.  We had lots of fun…the kids came too and had a blast playing together, although it was a little (LOT) more relaxing once we put C down for the night in her pack and play:-)


Splash pad fun!



 

Sunday was spent at church, running errands, relaxing on the couch, dance partying on the porch and enjoying our wonderful local park and splash pad at a birthday party.  Collins LOVED the splash pad.  It was our first time there…I’ve been meaning to take her…but being on the lake and having a pool in the ‘hood, it seems we never make it that way.  She never really (intentionally) got RIGHT UP UNDER the water, but would just run around giggling, pointing with her finger and saying “WOAH, WOAH” every time the water would “splash” out.  (Woah is her new FAVORITE word, by the way.)  But, she definitely got wet and really enjoyed herself.  We will definitely have to make that another trip this summer.

 

All in all, it was a good weekend.  Nothing crazy, just good.

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
