Weekend rewind


























I can’t believe our summer weekends are almost over….seems it was just two weeks ago we were celebrating the start of summer.  Urghh, so sad.  Anyways, we certainly enjoyed LOTS of outdoor/lake time this weekend. We have also been celebrating our ALMOST kindergartener a LOT! 

 

On Thursday, Collins and I had a lunch date for school supply shopping and a trip to Rushs, her choiceJ And then Thursday night, the boys spend the night out so Mikey and I could have a special night with JUST Collins.  We started with meet the teacher and then went to dinner by boat, again…her choice of restaurant.  I think she enjoyed it, and we won’t even go into the fact that she starts kindergarten TOMORROW!

 

Mikey was out of town with the guys Friday night, so I took the kids to the library after work and we rented a few movies.  After pizza and a movie with all of them, I put the boys to bed and let C stay up late with me watching Pippi Longstocking…she absolutely loved it!  And I let her sleep in bed with me, which may have been her favorite part;-)

 

Saturday was busy, errands, birthday parties and then it was time for LAKE DAY.  We had friends over and swam and played and ate and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  The kids had a blast and stayed up way too late, but that’s what summers are for, right!?  I was terrible at taking pictures, urgh.

 

I spent Sunday morning cleaning the house and doing laundry while Mikey helped some friends move and then we spent the afternoon with family.  Lake time + family + swimming + jet skis+ sunset boat ride to see the purple martins = a wonderful Sunday funday. 

 

It was a good one!

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...

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...

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...
