weekend rewind

Ah, the weekend. Another one come and gone. Another one that included one of my BIGGEST (total first world problems…) pet peeves. I get SO annoyed when it is GORGEOUS all week and then rains on the weekend. I mean, seriously!? Come on, mother nature…work with us here. Anyways, let me back up and recap our weekend.

As I mentioned, Mikey and I had date night Friday night. We got fancy and rented a room at the Hilton downtown. I picked the kids up early Friday and we hung out and played for a couple of hours Friday afternoon until the sitter arrived at 6! We left at 6 to check in the hotel and get ready for the night. It’s so rare that I get ready these days without tending to the kids at the same time…so that was a nice break. I had a drink, listened to music and Mikey and I just relaxed and took our time getting ready for the night…parents everywhere know that never happens when you have young ones at home! We had dinner and after dinner drinks at a couple of different places…we had the best time. One of the major perks to getting a hotel room is the peaceful, uninterrupted 8+ hours of sleep we get! It is so glorious. We couldn’t sleep in too late as we had lots of things to get done Saturday…but sleeping past 8 is a treat and was fabulous.

I spent my first hour loving on my best friend’s new baby Saturday morning. Goodness gracious. Hello….baby fever. Baby perfection, here.

The rest of the (first part of the day) was spent doing chores and packing and the kids napping. The sun finally came out around 3 and we made a beeline for the boat with friends. We enjoyed about an hour and a half of lake time before a storm came up…urrrghh. We came in and headed to our friend’s to cook out and play. We busted out water balloons and a slip and slide for the kids, they had a ball. The adults enjoyed a relaxing evening hanging out and grilling out while the kids played. A win win for everyone.

Sunday was more of the same around the house…chores/packing/naps/play/etc. We waited until after nap time to head out on the lake (it had been beautiful all day long) and of course, the minute our feet hit the dock we heard thunder. URRRGGHHH (again). We finally got in a late afternoon boat ride after doing some more packing. Damn weather. We were all pooped and ready for early bed times last night, lots to do in the next two weeks to get moved out of this house!!!

What if you were a fashion blogger and took pics like this ALL the time? I seriously can't imagine. I'm giggling at myself for taking this one. But, I feel like I can get a better sense of what I really look like in a live compared to just looking in a mirror. Does that make sense?
