Who Moved?

This was a buuuuuuuuuuusy weekend. You see, Cori, Mike and Aidyn moved into their new home!!! Exciting - but, a lot of work. Luckily, the hottie and a bunch of other people helped them out.

Saturday was filled with paint, paint, and more paint. They painted the entire house. It looks fantastic. Sheesh...the boys were exhausted!! Sunday for Bryan included packing, loading, and unloading immediately followed by 3 - yes 3, softball games.

While the boys were busy all weekend painting, packing, and moving - the girls (sans Cori as she was with the boys) had lots of fun, mommy / kiddie time. Believe it or not...that was exhausting, too!

Saturday we had a birthday party. Then to the mall playground (where I was almost physically injured by a pregnant mother). Then to the 'rents' house. Then to the neighborhood park. Then home. Then leftovers. Then bed. Sunday included C-L-E-A-N-I-N-G. all. day. long. Seriously. Thankfully, Brades and Lil helped out - yes, they did. We turned up the tunes - and danced while we cleaned. Isn't that the best? We just about finished when we had to quickly shower to make it to birthday party #2. We finished off the weekend with a softball game.

I can honestly say - although my weekend was not laborious....although cleaning did involve some manual labor - I was exhausted.

I don't think we have any plans next weekend. Whew. I'm thinking zoo trip.

Relaxing Busyness

This weekend - we had no plans.

None.

Zip.

Nada.

I love these weekends.

I always have plans to relax.

Clean.

Play.

Sleep.

That never happens.

Friday started off with a visit with the cuties at Grandma's.

It was nice.

We had lunch.

A nice little visit.

Brady asked Grandma a million questions.

Grandma answered them all.

I cringed and laughed.

Next, we traveled on down to the mall.

Met all the kids at the playground.

They played.

The moms chatted.

Saturday morning involved lots of cleaning.

And, yardwork.

Cleaning was interrupted by a lovely invite by my mom.

Reflexology = awesome.

Shopping.

Fun.

All this, followed by a couples date night with Cori and Mike.

Food, games, laughter = FUN.

Sunday - Bryan got a boy's day out while I took the cuties on a lunch playdate.

The kids ate and played.
Well, mostly played.

The moms chatted.

A bit of sisterly shopping followed.

Sunday night dinner followed by softball.

Lil and I skipped softball.

Lil = fever....uh oh.

It is now after 11pm.

I am wondering where the relaxing and sleep ran away to.

Oh well...there is always next weekend.

p.s....hottie if you're reading this...I never got to mop the floors. Could you be a doll and help a girl out? Love ya!

Old Friends and Playdates

Today was a fun day...

It started by getting the carpets cleaned. Ahhhh...so nice. I was WAAAAAAY overdue on having them cleaned!! Right now, they're a bit wet still, yuck - but, tomorrow...it will be well worth it!

Then we headed over to my friend Jaime's house for a playdate. Jaime is my old friend from middle school. Yep...MIDDLE SCHOOL! Back in the day - everyone thought we looked alike. She is the mommy to 2 cutie-pants little girls, Alex and Sammie. The kids played, had fun, ate snacks, drank juice and we got the chance to chat it up and reminisce a bit. Luckily, she lives literally in the neighborhood - so hopefully we'll get to do this a lot more often!

Girly-Girl Alex - kept closing her eyes saying the flash was "SO bright!!"

The Cuties helping themselves to the girls' toys.

Almost 6 mo. old Sammie - cute as can be.

Cutest couple.

p.s. It's my godmother's birthday...

Happy Birthday Aunt Rene!!
