It’s Monday…
After a long weekend.
I kinda want to complain but we had such a great time the last three days that I’ll just drink some extra coffee this morning and let Monday be. I LOVE long weekends, especially with a newborn because it means an extra pair of hands are available. The kids and I are getting into our own groove while Travis is at work during the week, but it’s still always nice to have that extra help.
This holiday weekend was just perfect. We got a few things checked off our “honey do” lists, I got a massage (!!!) and we even pulled out the slip n’ slide. PLUS FIREWORKS!!! We can see them from our back porch so we watch them in our pjs. There was plenty of yummy summer foods…a couple of workouts…lots of soccer…even more ice cream…and a NAP yesterday! Just a great weekend all around!
Here’s a glimpse…
^^another reading apprehension scavenger hunt! he asks for them every day.^^
^^locals – we meet every Saturday at 7:30am for a fun, sweaty time! FREE (for now) and open to anyone who wants to come!^^
^^kinda gross picture but i wanted to show how we grill our meats. every week, i buy a big package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts and then cut them into strips using kitchen shears. far less expensive than buying chicken tenderloins AND it cuts grilling time in half.^^
^^seriously THE best!^^
^^fyi: honey i shrunk the kids is on netflix!^^
^^i need “smore” of this smore blizzard. yup. went there.^^
^^thanks for the recommendation, Kat! love it so far!^^

This is one of my favorite posts you’ve shared in a long time. I’m pretty sure I want to be a part of your family fun! And friend – you’re beautiful!
Ah! So much I love from your pictures! Clara’s dress, the massage gift certificate (!!), family photos…
I’d die without my kitchen shears! Love em.
Those arm rolls (Porter) and those abs (you, ya hot mama!)…aye carumba!
My weekend was spent slingin’ coffee at work, but today is my “Friday,” so no complaints! TGIM? ;)
1) Looks like the perfect holiday weekend! 2)I totally watched honey I shrunk the kids this weekend also. 3) Aren’t those smores blizzards just the best?!
What a beautiful family! I’m so glad you had a great weekend!
Looks like a fabulous weekend! I’d love to have a rower for our (currently-nonexistent) home gym.
Love all the photos – what a great weekend! Sorry to hear you have a stye in your eye, but at least you look totally cute in your glasses!
The S’more blizzard is so dang good! The long weekend was great…I had extra hands & ate my weight in sweets ;)
i love everything about this post!
One beautiful weekend for sure!
Haha, I remember the slip-n-slide! We still have one somewhere… ;)
this makes my heart so full! <3
Holiday weekend included fireworks, anniversary date that had an amazing crepe dessert involved (OMGEEEEEEEE GOOOD :) ), and packing for our move while I’m very pregnant (not that much fun ha ha). But it felt great to get some packing off of the list while also enjoying the extra couple of days.
