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!

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
