{our weekend}

This weekend was a bit different for us.  As in, it was a summer weekend and we didn’t have ANYTHING going on.  Crazy, right??

Friday night we enjoyed our date night…although The Great Gatsby wasn’t so “great” for me.  It was definitely good, but I wasn’t a fan of the production and really felt as if it could have been better.  It was still nice to go to a late dinner/relax/have drinks and talk with the hubby and then enjoy a movie together.

As much as I wanted to go on the lake Saturday, the rain would NOT allow that, which ended up being kinda nice as we were SUPER productive around the house.  It’s hard for me to “waste” a perfectly good Saturday doing house chores, but when the weather is crappy it makes it A-OKAY.  Mikey and I tore up our existing deck, major demolition going on… (Okay, maybe not major…but still fun) and removed all of the huge brick pavers from the patio.  Our new deck is going in this coming weekend and we are laying sod where the existing patio was…it just took up too much good space in our yard.  And, it was ugly.  So, there’s that.   We went over to our friend’s house for a laid back dinner and hang out.  Laid back and productive…not our typical Saturday in the summer…but I’ll take it, for now:-)


Deck demolition progress


Sunday called for sleeping in, lounging on the couch with C before church…then lunch, naps, and pool time for about 20 minutes before we got a HUGE downpour.  It poured right after church, was beautiful while Collins was napping (of course), took her to the pool when she woke up and it started pouring again soon after.  UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Of course like 30 minutes later it was beautiful again…but we just stayed in our PS’s the rest of the day and spend time hanging out.  I also rented Les Mis last night and couldn’t last 30 minutes…I was bored to tears.  Anyone else?  I am not the biggest musical lover but I enjoy a good one, I had a hard time understanding what they were saying….oh well…..

A little Sunday morning bed head....

Our twenty minutes at the pool. 



 

Cheers to another Monday!

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
