Weekend rewind

I’m slowly unable to keep up with this thing anymore…but, even if it exists solely for me to “scrapbook” our life, then so be it.  I like to have a little space to record our memories/events/everyday norms in this stage of life.  Work is crazy, raising three kids is crazy, and therefore life is crazy.  I rarely have much “down time” (and yes, this is generally my own doing b/c we like to be busy!)…but when I do get down time…i’d rather spend it relaxing and hanging out with the fam, it is what it is.  Speaking of relaxing….that’s almost ALL we did on Sunday.  I can’t think of the last time I’ve been so lazy and it was GLORIOUS.  But, that’s getting ahead of myself…let’s start with Friday.  My birthday😊I took off from work a bit early to spend some time with the kids before Mikey and I went out to dinner for my birthday.  The sweetest/most random gift ever goes to my girl…Mikey had “warned” me that she was super proud of her gift and thought of it all by herself.  My girl picked me out adorable birthday napkins as my present! 😍 Apparently, I needed some cute napkins to celebrate!  Mikey took her to a big “paper warehouse” type store and he said she took her time in picking out the perfect ones…how sweet.  We used them Sunday night at our family celebration and I think it made her day.  Love that.  Mikey and I enjoyed a few hours out on the town having dinner and drinks and adult conversation, a perfect non-eventful birthday celebration with my guy.  

 Saturday was spent working out, running errands and preparing to take the kids to the Carolina game!  WHEW!  That’s a chore!  We got free tickets so we figured it was as good a time as any to take the kids to a game for the season…of course, I think they had the most fun tailgating where they could run around and jump off coolers ;-)  We lasted until halftime, and I call that a success. The game was at 4, so we were back home by 7:30 in pajamas.  We had leftovers and enjoyed a night on the couch watching football. 

 

And then on Sunday, like I said, we were LAZY.  We all slept until 8 and then stayed in our pajamas until 4!!  We spent the morning playing with the kids and cuddling on the couch with cartoons and the Ryder cup.  I even went back to sleep when the kids napped….i was worn out for some reason…it sure felt good to do NOTHING.  We did finally get ourselves up and moving to celebrate birthdays (mine and my mom’s) with the family for dinner….3 hours of loud chaos, but so fun!

 

Praying that this hurricane stays AWAY from our coast…we are exactly one year out from the devastating 1000 year flood here in Columbia, SC…the LAST thing we need is another HUGE weather event to occur.  

 

Happy Tuesday, friends.
