weekend rewind


Another semi lazy weekend in the books.  We are soaking up every last ounce of summer we can…of course summer doesn’t end anytime soon for us….we celebrate summer until we have to stop….September 22.  It’ll still be hot until then (if not longer) so there’s no point in trying to rush summer out the door.  (I’m looking at you, people who already want to talk about damn PSL and boots and scarves!!)  We had a lazy Friday night, but not without a bit of a scare/craziness from our wild man Thomas.  We were enjoying some time outside, watching the kids play in the “sandy beach” area at my in-laws…when Thomas started to wander.  Not abnormal for him…he started getting close to the dock and boat ramp so Mikey got up to get after him….and sure enough T started running when he saw Mikey headed his way…so Mikey had no choice but to run…and that little stinker ran all the way down the dock and jumped in the water FULLY CLOTHED and with NO LIFE JACKET ON!!!!  Talk about giving me a heart attack.  I knew Mikey was close enough behind that it would be okay…but good grief, that boy.  He sank too, in case you were wondering.  2 year olds are tough….we’ve given swimming lessons but it’s almost dangerous b/c they have no fear of the water but cannot swim alone!  I missed the boat on those “lifesaving lessons” you can give infants…and of course, Thomas came out of the water LAUGHING.  I almost wish he would have swallowed some water or something to at least scare him, but NOPE!  And THIS is why I have such anxiety!  I swear I am going to have to keep a puddle jumper on him at all times!  So anyways…after that debacle, we had the kids in bed by 8:30 and watched a movie.  A restful weekend night😊

 

We spent the day on the lake with friends Saturday, it was perfection.  Just swam off the dock/listened to music/and drank a few cold ones;-)  What more could you ask for on a summer Saturday?  We grilled out with everyone Saturday night and the kids had a ball slip-n-sliding and eating cupcakes!

 

Sunday morning was spent being lazy (we have GOT to get back into our church routine!)…and then my parents went on the boat with us for the afternoon and we hung out with some of their friends.  The kids had a ball playing on all of their big floats and we enjoyed the company.  I was asleep by 9:45 (!!!) on Sunday nightready to take on my VERY FIRST Barre 3 class bright and early Monday morning.  I still can’t walk…holy soreness but it felt good!!!  

 

Happy Tuesday, friends!

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...
