weekend rewind and tidbits

We had a family date night last Monday before sending our girl off to the low country with her cousin and Lolly for a few days.  We took ALL of the kids to the park, dinner and to see Finding Dory! I was so impressed with how long the boys lasted…they were free, so we figured it wouldn’t be a bid deal if one of us had to take them outside and walk around for a bit.  They lasted about half way through the movie before we had to go on a little adventure around the theatre and get some popcorn…but they keep talking about Dory!  Of course, Collins loved it. 

 

We missed our little diva, but it was nice to get some extra time with just the boys.  They are a mess and are going to give me a run for my money!  But, goodness gracious…they make me giggle and turn my heart into mush in seconds. 


Getting sweaty a the park!
Movie time!

Messy boys!!
Crazy boys :-)

We had no lake time this weekend, as we were busy packing and attending a 1st birthday party and a wedding!  We did make time for several hours at the pool Sunday afternoon, which was nice.  The water isn’t so refreshing, but the kids absolutely love going to the pool so it was a fun few hours away from the chores at our house.

 

9 more days until we move…and we have no clue where we are going.  How’s that for chaos!!!?  Seriously, all of my friends always say we have the easiest time selling houses…which we have been very lucky…but this housing saga/drama we’ve been thru in the past month makes up for it.  We decided to walk away from the fixer upper we were thisclose to calling our own.  It just had way too many issues (asbestos, subfloor was about to fall through in the bathroom) and it was totally ruining our renovation budget.  Then, we got in a bidding war (and lost) on another house on the lake in 24 hours over the weekend.  My nerves seriously can’t handle all of this!  We will probably rent for a bit and take our time so when the next good deal comes on the market we can (hopefully) make it ours. 

 

Anyways, no point in stressing over it.  Home is where my family is, and no matter where we are living it, we will make the best of it.  Happy Tuesday, friends!


I guess I lied... We did take a sunset cruise on the lake Friday night with friends and then went out to dinner on the lake, it was a fun night. 

A beautiful wedding Saturday night. 


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...
