Weekend Wrap Up

Friday evening we headed to a local restaurant to take advantage of their Free Pie Friday.  Their butterfinger pie is to die for.  After eating, we headed to the high school football game.  We enjoyed watching my niece cheer.  Hallie had fun pointing her out and waving at her from the stands.

We also watched one of Bryson's classmates/family friends sing the Star Spangled Banner with the choir before the game.

Unfortunately, Hallie didn't have her nap which means there is no way she could hang the whole game.  We ended up leaving after halftime.

The kiddos and I spent Saturday morning lounging around the house and doing chores while the hubby worked on building our new deck.  Once it warmed up, I let the kids burn off some energy with some water play with the water hose.

In the evening, the hubby tagged in, and I enjoyed a little girl time with my BFF.  We hit some of our favs....Chick-fil-a, TJ Maxx, and Target.  I bought a shirt from TJ Maxx, but I'm still not 100% about it.  It may be going back.

Target is already putting out Christmas stuff, and I'm making a mental photo note of things I might need to go back and buy....like this joy sign.

We went to church Sunday morning and enjoyed our favorite Mexican restaurant afterwards.  I love getting pics of the kids dressed up on Sunday.  Mainly because that is the only time I can get a picture of Bryson in something other than athletic wear.

     

Happy Monday!  We're looking forward to a short work week and heading out of town to go watch Frozen Disney on Ice and visit some family.

Weekend Wrap Up

It was an easy weekend with no plans.  Thank goodness because Hallie has some serious drainage going on that has her coughing ALL night.  We have been giving her medicine, but it doesn't seem to help.  I was trying to get her to take a nap one day and noticed her putting her fingers in her mouth.  I remember the dentist saying she would probably have all her 2 year molars by Christmas.  Sure enough, I checked and the first one was poking through.  I'm sure that is what is causing all her congestion and drainage.  I'm just not sure what to do for her since her meds aren't working.  I'm seriously thinking about trying some oils.  So many people have been raving about them lately.  I don't think it would hurt anything to try. 

Friday after work, I headed to the gym.  After the gym, I had some errands to run.  I went to the post office.  The lady worker told me I looked cute in my gym clothes.  I was surprised by her compliment considering I was all nasty and sweaty.  She reminded me that I need to compliment others more often.  You just never know when you'll make someone's day.

Friday night, my mom and I headed to Target for some couponing.  I spent my savings on a puffer vest for myself.  Confession time.  The puffer vest came from the girls department.  This is the first time I have bought something from the girls department for myself and now I'm sure it won't be the last.

Saturday morning, Hallie and I headed to Toys R Us for some couponing.  Got to raise her right :)  She was looking so cute and making all kinds of expressions.

 With her coupons, she got some Play-Doh originally priced at 5.99 for .10.  Way to go baby girl!!

Sunday morning we went to church.  When leaving, we asked Hallie where she wanted to go for lunch.  Her response....El A Trio.  It's actually El Trio, but she added the extra A.  Homegirl loves her Mexican food.   

We picked up Bryson that afternoon.  The kids enjoyed some outside time at Grandma and Grandad's.  Oh, and she picked out her outdoor attire :)

Bryson played football with Hallie.  He's such a good brother!

Happy Monday!!  Hoping for a fabulous week!! 

Weekend Recap

Friday morning was a little crazy with my Matilda Jane virtual show.  It’s nonstop emails, text, questions, etc., but I absolutely love every bit of it.  I skipped my noon workout.  Instead, I went out to eat with some gym buddies.  Then, I went home, and sis and I took a nap.  I really should have been getting things done, but I was just so tired because I haven’t been sleeping at night.  I rolled over and looked at the clock.  It was 6:30 pm!!  And, I could have kept sleeping without a problem.  I’m so thankful for the hubby taking kid duty so momma could sleep.  We headed over the neighbors and played games with them and my parents.  After the games, we enjoyed some homemade ice cream. 

Saturday was pretty busy.  Sis and I went to Target and Staples.  We picked up Bryson and had lunch at Chili’s.  The whole family went out for dinner for my brother’s birthday.  Then, mom and I headed to Hobby Lobby for birthday party planning.

Sis got some new boots at Target.  Her exact words when she put them on…they’re perfect.  She would not take them off, and she left the store wearing them. 

While at Target, I enjoyed my first Starbuck’s peach green tea lemonade.  It will not be my last!

 

 At Hobby Lobby, I found the cutest crowns for Hallie's birthday party.  Only problem is I need them to be silver.  I am not very crafty, so this will be very interesting. 

 

We went to church Sunday morning.  The kids had their service in the sanctuary so that the parents could see a typical Sunday for them.  We really enjoyed it.  The kids received the word of God and had fun doing it.  After church, we went to eat and did a little shopping. 

Having a little fun in Target :)

This week is going to be crazy with Hallie's birthday on Tuesday and her party on Friday.  Can't believe my little girl will be 3!!!

Weekend Recap

Friday evening, Hallie and I went out for a little date.  We went to the nail salon.  She was super excited.  She picked blue for her toes and purple and pink for her fingers.

Saturday morning, I got Hallie's invitations printed.  Also, the aquaballs I ordered for her party arrived. Things are slowly coming together for the birthday celebration.

We also headed to Toys R Us for her to pick out some toys she wants for her birthday.  Of course, half of the stuff she picked out was play doh, and the other half was princess items. 

We came home and did a little swimming.  After swimming, Hallie went down for a nap.  I used that opportunity to do my jamberry 7 day challenge.  

Saturday evening, Hallie stayed with nana while we took Bryson school shopping for shoes.  We decided we needed a massage after all the shopping.  Bryson thought the chair was great!

While at the mall, we stopped at the Hallmark store to reserve an Elsa ornament for Hallie.  Every year we get the kids an ornament that relates to something they did or liked during the year.  

Sunday morning, we headed to church and then our favorite Mexican resturant.  

The remaining day was spent doing choirs and errands to prepare for the upcoming week.

Weekend Recap

Friday after work, I got my hair colored.  My grey was starting to poke through and needed covered up.  I had my hairdresser go darker, but I think she went too dark.  I still haven’t got used to it yet.  Hopefully I will soon.  Otherwise, I see myself going back soon and spending more money to change it…ughhh.  

That evening we tried out a local restaurant.  We were pleasantly surprised to learn that it was Free Pie Friday.  We might have to make it a regular.  Sister could care less about the actual pie.  Just give her a plate of cool whip.

Saturday morning, I headed to a friend’s house for a local Matilda Jane and Boutique sale.  I was happy to get rid of some clothes and make some money…to buy more clothes, of course.  Actually, I am going to try really hard to keep Hallie’s closet under control.  I am so happy with it right now.  All her clothes actually fit in the closet.  Everything is so neat and organized.  I really should have took a before and after pic.

Saturday evening, Bryson and I had a mommy/son date.  He got to pick where we ate.  We went to Chili’s.  After eating, we went to see Maleficent.  I thought the movie was great!  I would definitely watch it again, and that’s saying something because I rarely watch a movie more than once.  

We went to church Sunday morning.  For once, we were early.  That rarely happens, but yeah God’s still in the miracle business :)

Later that evening, the kids and I went to Target.  I was going to buy some cheap school supplies.  They have 6 pack of glue sticks on sale this week for .99.  So while trying to save money buying school supplies, I left Target spending $100 in other items. #fail

I found this really cute jean jacket for sister.  I didn’t buy it because she already has a jean jacket.  But look at those ruffles on the bottom.  I might not be able to resist!

I’m not ready for the new week.  Why do weekends have to go by so fast?!?!
