My Weekend Shenanigans

Here's how it went........

Friday Night

 

I had a Girls Night In with:

 

my 2 FAVORITE preschoolers!

Pictures Lowdown

***Kayla said: I'm a flower

***Jamie said: I'm the sun

***We made Build Your Pizza {Mommy fail: I forgot to spray the aluminum foil with Pam...they stuck}

***What's a girls night without a silly-face pic?

***We made strawberry cupcakes...with the help of Pillsbury {Mommy fail: they stuck to the paper}

***I knew I was going over my calories today after I finished my lunch {I was not happy about it!}

***We were jammin' out to Kids Bop on my iPod while cooking & eating

***We watched Toy Story 3 before bedtime {I let them stay up a little later...& reset their "Okay to Wake Monkey Clocks"}

 

And......

***...5 minutes before we were going to bed, Jamie would not sit still on the couch & she slid off & kissed the concrete floor. Her lip did a little bleeding & she got some relief from her cold ouchie bear wrapped in a pink {upon her request} wash cloth. My monkey girl does not listen & sometimes needs the natural consequences for a lesson to truly sink in.

***Since they haven't gotten to have a sleep together in a long time, I let them....they were excited!

 

Saturday

 

This is oh SO true:

 

Picture Lowdown of Things We Did

***We woke up with a dusting of snow on the ground AND it snowed those big, pretty flakes off & on all day, but nothing really stuck

***With a little snow on the ground & with it falling from the sky, we decided to enjoy the warmth of the firepalce

***Jamie spent most of the morning in her tutu on & pink wash cloth in hand {pretending it was a flower & asking everyone to smell it}

***When the hubs/daddy got home from his Friday-Saturday Father-Son Trip, the fur~babies were so excited to see him they sat on top of each other {Abby, the older/white one, can't stand Tessie, the younger/ black & white one. So for them to sit like this is really something}

***While I cooked dinner, Jamie traced one of her fairies like in Tinker Bell & the Great Fairy Rescue

***Did you see that, I cooked dinner: Baked Dijon Vidalia Onion Pork Chops, Baby Carrots with Ranch, Shells & Cheese, & Broccoli with Cheese...& it was actually good {Although I love to cook, I'm not the usual cook so it's kindof nice when I produce something everyone actually wants to eat}

***Sweet Kayla was pretending to make things for us on her TV tray: cookies, prince & princess crowns, & necklaces were just a few of the things we received

***Kayla loves being read to {Jamie does too, but Kayla is really enjoying having chapter books read to her each night}

***I think the dogs were really comfortable & ready for bed while the hubs & I watched Ray {such a good movie!}

Picture Lowdown of What We Saw

***Jamie got to pick the 1st show we watched & it was just one of their cartoons on TV.....Kayla's turn = The Bee Movie

***After the girls each had a turn, Mommy had a turn & since the girls didn't want to join me, I did xBox Zumba. Let me tell ya, this think kicked my booty! I was only able to do 12 minutes of the 20 minute workout. It was an AWESOME workout & I can't wait to do more of it!!!

***Back to Jamie's turn for TV: it was a movie, but I forgot to take a picture & now can't remember. We ate while they watched it & then it was time for their naps. I decided to relax & wore my comfy socks, watching: Memphis Tiger Basketball & then Catch Me if You Can

***After nap, it was Kayla's turn to pick TV: Brave {we love this movie!}

***And while I cooked lunch & dinner, I of course was rockin out my iPod {I heart music! = understatement!}

 

Sunday

 

A day of Fellowship, Family, & Friends!!!!! This got it's own blog post & you can see ALL the pictures from the day HERE, but here are the highlights:

 

 Picture Lowdown

***We got all dolled up & headed to Sunday School & Church

***Gree & Poppie met us at Church & then we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch {LOVE me some wings!}

***One of my BFFs (Jessica) & her boyfriend met us for lunch & Kolby got the Bestie Stamp of Approval ;-)

***I got 30 minutes of uninterrupted ALONE time at Target {if you have children, you TOTALLY understand what a luxury this is}

***Jessica & I went to Paint a Piece to paint that platter saying "Bless this Home"

***I don't draw a decent stick man paint & I'm SO THANKFUL they took me through the process step-by-step considering how it started

***I worked hard painting!

***My almost finished product {they will add the phrase all pretty & fire it to make it look shiny}

***We had so much fun in our Dish, Dine, & Wine class!!!! I can't wait to do it again!!!!
