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.

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...
