weekend rewind

Another weekend come and gone…goodness gracious, it all goes by too fast!  We had a rare family night IN on Friday and it was perfect.  I wanted to check a few things off the “December to do list” and we did that on Friday.  I picked the kids up early and we enjoyed decorating our gingerbread house…of course, G and T were more interested in eating the candy after a while, but a fun little holiday activity nonetheless.  I went with the pre-assembled kind this year, no more wrangling a stupid gingerbread house that falls apart after 30 minutes!  It was FREEZING cold Friday so the menu called for soup, grilled cheese and hot chocolate… and a little holiday baking thrown in .  It’s no wonder my pants are getting tighter, ugh!  But, seriously…  the kids of course LOVE helping with the cookies and I love eating them, it’s a win-win, right?!  ;-)  We eventually settled down for a family Christmas movie and to my surprise, the boys sat through the ENTIRE movie, I was so impressed!  We watched the Grinch, which is so cute, of course.  They all loved it.




 Saturday started out with a few errands and chores before we hit the road to North Carolina, Mikey’s sister just had TWIN BOYS!!!  Yep, that’s right.  There are now TWO sets of boy twins in the Glenn family. CRAZY.  This makes numbers 4 and 5 for her!  Goodness.  So glad we got to go visit though, can you even imagine the chaos in a couple of years!?



 

Sunday was jam packed…  we had Christmas with my dad’s side of the family during the day and Collins’ Christmas dance performance at night, so proud of my girl.  Every time she gets on stage she gets a little more confident, and that makes me so happy.  It was a late night Sunday and we were all pooped by the time we got home…but we had a wonderful, busy weekend together.


 



It's Christmas week!!

Xoxo

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...
