Weekend Rundown

My weekend exploded with events, but it really just felt like I blinked and it was over. I just need one day that is not cram packed with shit. Maybe next weekend? Friday night I ran every errand I needed to do Monday through Friday and didn’t have a chance. I even set out to buy a new spring/summer bag (I call them bags, but some refer to them as purses or pocketbooks), but after looking nothing I was finding was cute enough to buy. Isn’t that life though- I actually had money to get a bag and then nothing was appealing. Whenever I don’t have the extra money to spend on a bag ALL bags look so appealing I’m drooling in the store.

Saturday Olivia had a soccer game in the pouring rain, but her team won! Gracie and I did not attend (I don’t do rain). I had a bridal shower to attend Saturday afternoon which means I had to do my hair so I didn’t scare anyone with my nastiness. Here is my before flat iron and after just in case you were curious.

BEFORE

AFTER

Ever since being married anything wedding brings tears to my eyes. It’s such a happy time and it goes by so fast! I just feel so happy for the couple and part of me wants to go back to that time in my life and suck it all in because the moment passes too quickly.

Saturday evening we took the girls out to dinner. Since I was all dressed up from the shower Olivia asked if they could wear something fancy as well. This is what they came up with. Gracie is wearing Olivia’s flower girl dress from our wedding.

We ended up at a Japanese Steakhouse. We have taken the girls to one of these before but it had been a LONG time. The girls really enjoyed the food and the fire, but more when it was the volcano and not the gigantic explosion at the beginning.

O FELT GROWN UP HOLDING MY BAG

THE GIRLS GOT PRETTY GOOD WITH THE CHOP STICKS

THE SOUP WAS A BIG HIT, AND THEY PROVIDED ICE WITHOUT US ASKING (SCORE!)

REACTION TO THE FIRE (OLIVIA WAS STANDING BEHIND ME) PRICLESS.

VOLCANO

Sunday was Gracie’s 6^th Birthday party. She had lots of fun and it was great to be able to get all her friends together. I must say the best part of Birthdays is lugging all the gifts home and after they are unwrapped opening all the toys while the girls stand over me and ask if I’m almost done yet. Fun times.

We ended the weekend with yet another meal out, laundry, playing with new toys, Kelly cooking me my food for the week (thanks babe), and Gracie having a massive melt down over a fly being in the house. After we finally got her calmed down she sang “shoo fly don’t bother me” the entire time she put her pajamas on. I know I will be able to look back on this crazy time of bug fears and laugh but at this moment I’m sooooooo ready for it to be over!

Happy Monday!
