weekend and life

Last week was extremely emotional around my part of the world.  My SIL (my brother's wife) lost her dad suddenly and we all loved that man, and he was without a doubt, my SIL and niece and nephew's BIGGEST fan.  And then, on the night of his funeral- I learned that a dear friend for life lost her husband suddenly.  I was in their wedding 14 years ago and she was pregnant with her second child in our wedding- she's like my older sister and I am simply devastated and heartbroken for her and her babies (who aren't really babies anymore).  Life is hard, friends.  Life is also way too short.  It just got me thinking about the way we treat one another and live our day to day.  I'm making it a personal motto to try and spread more LOVE and KINDNESS everywhere I go.  I ride around and see people get so pissed driving and honking horns...in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Or being rude to a sales person.... or getting feisty on facebook over something you believe in or disagree with- we all just need to let it go.  SMILE at each other and go on about our way.  Let's all just SMILE more.

On to our lately....

Mikey is on the board of the Free Medical Clinic here in Columbia and they had their big fundraising event last week that we went to.  We invited some friends and we enjoyed a little time out with them.

We also ended up going out to dinner with a group on Friday night- I took no pictures, but it was just a good, fun night hanging with our people while our kids stayed up way too late playing together!  Thomas wanted to dry my hair for me Friday night:-)

We spent almost the whole day Saturday traveling and attending the funeral of my friend's husband, so it was an extremely tough day to say the least.  Thankfully, my in laws kept the kids occupied and entertained for us during the day.  We came back and spent Saturday evening snuggling our babies and lounging on the couch watching movies. 

Sunday was spent doing NOTHING.  We had been so go, go, go lately- I wanted a day where I didn't have to get out of my pajamas if I didn't want to.  I borrowed Mary Poppins from a friend and we ended our weekend with family movie night, I wanted the kids to see it so we can all go see Mary Poppins Returns when it comes out!

A little Sunday stroll....


My girl and her dance bestie...

Monday was the boys Thanksgiving feast at preschool- so precious, although my little G was NOT into pictures.  Can't believe this will be the last Thanksgiving feast we will go to at Union- goodness, time- you are a thief.




Their teacher sent me these pics yesterday and goodness, what a portrayal of two different personalities, lol!!




I can't believe we are already at Thursday, here's to being kind and spreading LOVE in life- we all need it!

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...
