Perfect Weekend

Happy Monday, everybody!

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure whether or not I was even going to do a post today because I’m still reeling over what happened to a fellow blogger last week, and I’m still on the fence about what to do…

Our weekend was pretty great despite the turmoil in my head over this whole blogging thing.  Friday evening was picture perfect – Carrabba’s takeout, a glass of wine, incredible weather, and our favorite tunes playing on the back porch.  Aside from the full moon induced excessive whining from two littles at the start of the evening, it was nothing short of heaven.  We stuffed our faces, we drank, we relaxed, the babies played out in the yard.  I so love these evenings on the back porch with my favorite people.  Such a great way to end a long and stressful week.

Saturday morning we awoke to full on party prep.  For what, I’m not going to disclose at this time as I have an entire post dedicated to it sometime in the near future.  It was a lot of fun, and the kids got to spend the morning with all of their favorite people.

After the party, Jacob spent some time playing with his new loot and I got to lay out in the back yard and read for the second weekend in a row!  Heaven!  Then, in the evening we went to church and then out for Mex with my paretns, and we splurged and stopped by Dairy Queen on the way home so the kids could have a Blizzard.  We turned on the twinkle lights just for the Blizzard eating and ate them on the back porch.

Sunday was spent with our families – lunch with B’s fam and dinner with my fam.  The weather was amazing all weekend so we spent a good deal of time outside.  The kids’ new favorite thing to do is dig in the dirt with shovels and find rocks in Nana’s garden, so they did just that.


I honestly didn’t even take that many pictures this weekend, probably subconsciously because of everything that’s been going on, but I thought that I would share the few that I did take.  I hope that you all have a wonderful week!

  6. I'm excited to hear about this party! Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend. We did a whole lot of nothing here. Love that picture of Maui. Once Leonidas gets groomed, I have to try to get a similar shot and put them side by side. I love that she has a little tail (that sounds so weird, lol). Leonidas just has a teeny little nub. Otherwise, totally twins.

    Sounds like a nice, though busy weekend and I adore your cute outfits.
