Weekend(s) rewind.


All the flooding had me out of whack all last week, it was a long, hard week, y’all.  Even though I personally wasn’t impacted, it is still heart wrenching to watch the devastation that occurred to neighbors, friends, and our state.  Praying that rebuilding can begin and for the families and business owners to start fresh.

 

Since I treat this blog as my personal scrapbook, I wanted to go back and document two weekends ago as well as this past weekend.  This is the only place I have that I note everything our family does and I know I will appreciate it one day…even if it makes for boring reading;)

Friday October 2 was DATE night. We planned a big night out for my birthday and it was AMAZING.  We picked the kids up right at 5 that afternoon so we could spend a few hours with them before we headed downtown.  We took them to the mall for a little shopping, Chick a lay lay (as Colls says) and rides on the carousel! They loved it.  It was the boys’ first time on the carousel.  After that, we dropped them back off at our amazing caretaker’s house for the night, this was going to be the first spend the night party at Weezie and Bill’s and Collins was SO excited! *My parents were out of town and I really wanted the kids somewhere I didn’t have to worry at all so we could SLEEP in Saturday morning*

Then, Mikey and I headed downtown and checked in our hotel…yes, we rented a hotel room for the night.  It was a treat, just something fun and different.  We went to Bourbon for dinner, first time for both of us and it was amazing.  The great flooding of 2015 was beginning that night…so we came back to the hotel for a nightcap after dinner.  WE SLEPT TILL 9:30!!!!!!!!!!  WHAT?!?  It was THE best.  Solid, uninterrupted sleep.  Every parent needs this every once in a while.  Then, the spoiling continued and we had a couples massage at OCCO at 10:30, pure heaven, friends.  It was my birthday after all…but I let Mikey enjoy the birthday fun too:-)  The absolute BEST massage in town. After that relaxation, we were more than ready to go pick up the kiddos.  We ran a couple of errands while the rain was at bay for a bit and then headed home for the day to batten down the hatches, or so we thought.  It really didn’t start raining hard till later that night, but unfortunately it POURED all night long. We ended up having a low key get together at our house that night to watch football.  Fun times for all, especially the little princesses!






 

We debated rescheduling our dinner we had planned for Friday October 9 after the horrible week Columbia had, but we decided we all needed a little break from the heart ache…so we met up with our friends for a couple’s birthday celebration (yes, still celebrating my birthday!) Friday night.  Too much fun…we had a curfew, (city imposed) so no one stayed out too late…but it was a nice little get together, and much needed. 

 

And then, the worst thing happened…it RAINED ALL day long Saturday.  NOT what we needed at all.  A couple areas had to re-evacuate and more flooding ensued.  UGH.  Thankfully, nothing got out of control though.  I spent the morning trying on bridesmaids dresses for my bestie’s upcoming nuptials…and then came home and played and napped with the family in the yucky weather.  We hung out with neighbors Saturday night but were in bed by 10.  Sunday was spent running errands, napping, and loving on the babies.  Hope everyone survived the flood and happy Monday!

We were able to sneak in some park time Sunday since the sunshine was finally out!!


And this was early this morning... Someone was super excited to Finally be going back to preschool!

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...

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...
