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

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
