{our weekend}

Another laid back weekend in the books.  Time is just a FLYING by…I swear we were JUST celebrating Halloween yesterday. 

 

We started out the weekend with supper club…and invited the kids this timeJ  So…it was a little more hectic than normal and we left by 9:45 but we still had a wonderful time with our friends.  I love our supper club b/c it is so laid back and easy.  I wish I would have taken some pictures…we had four little girls running around playing and one itty bitty baby girl….when oh when will we have more boys?!  Out of our supper club (9 couples and 9 kids) we only have TWO little boys.  Nuts.  It’s a girls world around our friends, for sure. 

 

Saturday morning we got up early to head out for some family pictures.  And LORDY mercy…my child will NOT smile when someone wants her to, does anyone else have this problem?  Drives me nuts.  She may have smiled in like 4 out of 400 pictures on Saturday morning….grrrrrrr.  I really hope we got at least one or two I can use for Christmas card pictures. 

 

We came home and lounged around for the next few hours….it is so nice to have a Saturday of no plans.  But, I did head downtown around 3:30 to watch my alma mater compete in the STATE cheer championship, so sad to say they dropped a stunt and came in second….I was literally a nervous wreck watching them, what in the WORLD will I do if Collins wants to cheer one day?  If Chapin would have won yesterday, that would have been SIX consecutive state championships and TEN total, still proud that I was on the FIRST team to win…we just don’t need to talk about what year that was….

 

On Saturday night, we had no plans so I told my mom we would help her entertain my niece and nephew. She was keeping them for the evening and my dad was out of town; so Mikey, my mom and I went to Monkey Joe’s with the three kiddos.  I said this the other day, but best CHEAP entertainment around.  We ate dinner at Zoe’s and were back home by 9…so, so nice. 

 


On Sunday I helped my mom out around her house a lot…random projects she’s been wanting to get done and then C and I went to a birthday party.  Sunday nightwas spent with my parents eating a home cooked meal since it was my dad’s actual birthday.  A fire, the Good Wife and the ipad rounded out my Sunday evening.  Pure bliss.

 

Here’s to a THREE day work week!!!!!  And then it’s TURKEY timeJ

 

xoxo

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...
