{our weekend}

So, this weekend was GORGEOUS.  And we didn’t go out on the lake ONCE.  GASP.  It stresses me out when we are in town and don’t go out on the lake if it is pretty.  Last weekend, the weather wasn’t that great…so it was okay. This weekend, I was bummed. BUT, I couldn’t really be mad…because my dad and Mikey SLAVED away ALL day Saturday and Sunday and built our deck.  And it is AMAZING.   But, it just gives me a little bit of anxiety knowing the lake is SO close and we don’t take advantage when there are only so many gorgeous summer weekends.  Totally wish we would have this deck built in the fall or last winter, but that just wasn’t on our agenda back then.   Oh well, such is life.  We still had a great weekend, Mikey worked his tail off…and I played.  Haha, just kidding.  I played Saturday but did errands/cleaning/helped Sunday…so I wasn’t totally worthless;-)

 

Mikey got home Friday around 1 from SC Bankers School and started working immediately.  Friday was spent bringing all of the lumber home and getting all of the equipment ready for the build.  I was exhausted from a fun girls night sleepover the night before…and after a lowe’s trip and dinner we were home and in bed by 10.  It was great.  Because….Saturday came bright and early.  My dad was at our house before 7….WHAT the WHAT?!?  He said he threw some boards around to wake us up, but apparently that noise machine is GOOD.  Anyways, Mikey was up by 7:30 helping and I had to make a Lowe’s run for them around 8.  Collins slept till 9:30.  WOAH.  My mom was keeping my niece and nephew for the day so we all took off to the zoo for a bit while the boys worked.  It was FUN and HOT.  But, the kids enjoyed it and it was a nice little outing.  But, when we got home it was time for some WATER.  My mama stayed at our house while Collins and Grady napped and I took Belle to the pool for a bit.  Then, the babies came and joined us later.  It was a nice few hours hanging out in the cool pool on a HOT July day. 


All this happened Saturday. Impressive. 

 Zoo. 

 

Saturday night we headed over to a friend’s house for a little cook out.  This is becoming quite the norm and I LOVE it.  Collins loves playing with other kids and the adults get to enjoy themselves tooJ  We were home around 11:30, POOPED and ready for bed. 


Happy girls!!


 

Sunday was much of the same for Mikey and my dad.  Collins and I played all day…ran some errands and I cleaned and did random things around the house.  I am so impressed with everything that was done to our back deck…we even put together all of our new patio furniture…fun times!!  It was a good, SERIOUSLY productive weekend around the Glenn casa.  The only reason I was okay NOT being on the lake was because we will be in BEAUFORT for the next THREE weekends.  Can I get a big WOOHOO to that?!  Cannot wait.  We are finally taking our week long vacation the first week of August…and it is going to be heavenly. 

 

That’s all for today, friends.

 

Happy Monday!


Xoxo

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...
