This past weekend was a very exciting time for my little family. A lot of you don't know this but we live with my mother-in-law. AND grandmother-in-law. I love them both very much but when they told us last month they were going out of town I got very excited. We had a whole weekend to just be a FAMILY of 3! This does not happen often and we took full advantage!!! 

Friday night we went to the grocery store and got the stuff we needed to have some people over Saturday and the stuff i'm making for thanksgiving. We also picked up a family favorite for dinner: Kroger brand 6 cheese spaghetti sauce on top of Angel hair pasta. I craved this when I was preggo and I was wanting some (my MIL and GIL have to have meat in their spaghetti so I can't make it when they are here) and Fletcher tore it up. I wonder if he remembered it coming through his umbilical cord? ;) 

 

Saturday Fletch and I hung out at home while RB worked. He got off at 2 and we cleaned up outside and moved the fire pit to the patio area and blew the leaves off and my bestie and her family came over for "friendsgiving" We sat around, ate appetizers, talked, and roasted marshmallows for S mores. Yum! 

 This photo cracks me up. RB (who is so hot natured it's unbelievable is wearing shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. FAR is in a coat and hat

Sunday I went to church and heard the most wonderful message on healing, (Want some healing? PLEASE click here and watch this. Trust me on this & Thank me later)  and then made the drive to Loganville to babysit KP so Michelle and D could go to a funeral. I love getting our boys together to play. KP calls FAR "baby FAR" even though FAR is almost as big as KP! (FAR is 17 months, KP is almost 4!)

I hope your weekend was as good as mine. 

Sunday.. oh wait we mean Monday...

Okay so i'm not going to lie. 99% of the time when I tell you it's Monday, it's really Sunday at my house. I like to have my blog posts scheduled so they will be live when you wake up in the mornings, because normally, when your waking up, getting ready for work, reading my your favorite blog, etc i'm either...

A) Still sound asleep with my baby who usually sleeps till 8:30-9ish or

B) Laying in the bed cuddling with said baby 

but tomorrow (Monday) is the game changer. Is the first. day. of. school. starting tomorrow i'm going to have to figure out some kind of schedule to get my school work done. (i'm taking 1 class on campus; 4 classes online) Because if you ever had a toddler, being on the computer while he wants to play is not gonna happen. FAR knows where the power button is on my PC and he likes to use it (which is why I need a MAC but that is a whole other story!) but i'll figure it out. This is such a big change for our family and i'm so excited to be embarking on another adventure :-) 

So about the weekend... Friday RB went to a concert with my brother after work so Fletch and I played and had a mommy/son night.  Saturday we went to breakfast with my mom and then my mom & I went and got pedi's and RB and FAR went to Walmart...

Toddlers so soo cute when they sleep all the time! Sunday we got to go to church as a family. Then I took a 5 hour nap while my amazeballs hubby played with FAR. So all in all it was a great weekend with my sweet little  family :) 

So I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday Monday. and now i'm off to watch some Eric Bill & Sookie.. because you know, it may be your Monday, but it's my Sunday. 

Living

This weekend I didn't have a bloggy party (Thx Brit- jk jk), and I didn't plan any future posts. I also didn't even sit down at my computer except to pay bills!

What I did do was...

- Had lunch with one of my BFF's

- Started planning our family vacation that is in less than a month! 

- Cuddled with Fletcher and tickled his toes Saturday morning 

- Spent almost $600 in textbooks (including a $150 calculator! AHH!)

- Cleaned up Fletch's vomit because he gagged himself with a Poweraide top

- Ate Pacho's twice (and both times it was free for me!)

- Watched This Means War with my family (It was so so)

- Went to RB's Aunt & Uncle 's 50th Birthday Party 

- Wore this dress: 

(Its not a great picture I know... be thankful I cropped my face out.) 

I lived the life I love to blog about! and it felt wonderful!! I was a mom. a wife. a best friend. I wasn't a blogger. and it was a nice break.... but now it's Monday. And i'm ready to jump back into my tweeting, my facebooking, and most importantly, my blogging. :) 

So thanks weekend, you're the best. I hope you treated my readers as awesome as you treated me :) 

Breakfast, a Pedicure and a Giant Cucumber...

.... Now that's what I call a GREAT weekend! Hi dolls! How was everyone's weekend? This weekend was crazy! I don't think we stopped moving! 

Friday... With the help of Michelle and Alex (Stacy's husband) I threw a surprise birthday party for my sweet friend Stacy! It went great but they only picture I got was me making cupcakes. How lame am I? But Stacy was so surprised and I stuffed myself silly with spinach dip so it was a win all around :) Fletcher went home with his daddy and got a power nap and was awake by the time I got home... then he decided to have a diaper party at 11pm! #fail #onetiredmomma

 Saturday... My mom treated RB, FAR, and I to breakfast at the new Covington Diner. And I was impressed! Fletcher had a Mickey Mouse pancake bigger than his head and the building (former Shoney's turned into a Chinese buffet) Was clean and different! We will defiantly be going back, plus they are open 24 hrs on the weekend. Not that that matters to me because frankly i'm asleep by 10. 

Then I got an amazing pedi 

(Do you see my tan lines on my feet from my flip flops. Totally from cutting grass!)

After this we took Fletcher to meet his best friend. My son fell in love with Larry the Cucumber. (If your thinking what is this crazy talking about, click here) Oh my word. If Fletcher had his way we would of loaded up giant Larry and brought him home. (We did leave with a Larry movie and a Noah's Ark with Larry as Noah) Fletcher climbed up RB to look at Larry when we were not talking to him and had a COW when we had to leave Larry at the store. 

 

 

 

 

When we got home my sweet sweet cousin Brit came over and we she designed my new blog design! And I also made the plunge and became talesfromfar.com Wahoo!! 

Sunday... I woke up with Sinus junk and Fletcher had a teething fever so we stayed home from church and had a relaxing day with family :)  And ended the night with the #pfchat with Passionfruit Ads Fletch helped :) 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Weekend Update

I hope y'all's weekend was as good as mine! Seriously, This one goes down in the record books!! 


Friday I got to hang out with one of my favorite people. My cousin Brit over @ Confessions of a PinAholic started her new blog! And we sat down and played with out blogs for 8 hours!! She designed her blog herself and helped me with the few changes I did. She's going to design a new blog design for me (for free! love her) in the next few weeks so be on the lookout. And while your not busy, go check her out and love her like I do! 


Saturday We went to my BFF's for her hubby's surprise birthday dinner complete with a Taco bar and zombie cupcakes! On the 4th of July her oldest Danielle tricked me by telling me she was going to spray whip cream in my mouth and squirted on my face instead so I decided to be so sweet and give her some pay back! 

 Sunday I got to cuddle with some sweet sweet babies in the church nursery with some sweet sweet ladies then came home to do some cleaning before VBS Family Fun night @ ECC Have I ever told you how much I LOVE my church family? Because I do! Tonight they started out with some worship and I got to watch a 12 year old lead worship in a room full of people. That was a praise Jesus moment! Then Fletch got to play in a bouncy while I talked to one of my dearest friends I haven't had a conversation with in I cant even tell you when. 

I hope your weekend was as good as mine! :) 

Real Quick...
