Re: Weekend Recap
Mommy's little helper
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!
Friday night I fell asleep on the couch with my new maternity Boppy pillow the baby bought me for Mother's Day at 8PM and I slept until 7 the next day. Safe to say it helped some of my discomfort!
Saturday, we went to our last birthing class in the AM and then left at lunch. It was too nice to sit in an auditorium all day. So we are kind of birthing class drop outs. I did some weeding and then my friend that is in from AZ came over to visit.
Sunday, we went out to breakfast and then got the car seat bases installed in our cars and put together the stroller. We went to my parents for dinner.
Friday we just hung out at home. DH bought me a gift certificate for an 80 min massage and breakfast at a spa in Novi for Mother's Day in addition to my sewing machine.
Saturday we just relaxed, cleaned the house, did laundry.
Sunday grocery shopped, packed DH, took him to the airport, then went to my parent's house, then spent the rest of the night alone.

It was nice.
Sat we had swim class and went for a walk. Later we got PF Changs for my mother's day meal and went over to the ILs
Sunday- went to my grandma's house and than went for another walk once we got home to get ice cream.
Saturday we went to see Thomas @ Greenfield Village. Brendan LOVED IT! He was so pumped to see Thomas all week and it lived up to his expectations. He fell asleep in 2 seconds once we got in the car to drive home. Then DH showed our rental home to some people.
Sunday we went to church, then had my family over for Brunch. We tried to put Brendan down for a nap, but he refused, so we hoped in the car early and drove while he slept. We had dinner at my SIL @ 4:00 to celebrate with his family.
All in all a good weekend, but I wish we had more down time. Brendan didn't nap at all this week, only short naps in the car. I'm praying napping as we know it isn't over
Friday we ended up meeting some friends at BWW to watch the wings (go wings!)
Saturday we cleaned up a lot & I got almost all the laundry done before MIL and SFIL came over for a mother's day dinner (SFIL became the first person to rub my belly, twice - grrr). Earlier in the day we went out to a nursery to get MIL's gift, so it was nice to walk around outside amongst the plants & such.
Sunday pretty much my whole family came to our house (15 people total - we used every single chair in my house). We mostly did cleaning in the morning and I was so crazy busy the whole time I barely had time to step outside. But, we had all the doors and windows open, so that was nice.
Friday DH and I ran some errands and built some wooden boxes for our new square foot gardens and then watched the Red Wings play.
Saturday I got a massage just for the heck of it! It was wonderful! Then we went into Ann Arbor and had drinks at Dominick's, which lead to dinner down town and then friends over to our house to hang out for the evening.
Sunday we mixed soil for our square foot gardens and I planted a few things. I got a little bit sunburned, but it was definitely worth it!

Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
This was a really good weekend for me!
Saturday - My parents came over to drop off a present they bought me, and they brought White Castles for lunch. We went on a few walks and hung around the house.
Sunday - morning started out rough, Dunkin Dounuts didn't have the frozen hot chocolate I really wanted to try, DS cried through church, so we sat outside for 30 mins. But then we went to place the order for my mothers day gift, can't wait for it to get here in a few weeks, then we walked around partridge creek, bought me some more clothes, went to a friends house to have the kids play on their new playscape, then DH made a late dinner for us. It was a really great day!
That is how I feel about Vegas too. Unfortunately, my SIL lives there and asks us everytime we talk to her when we are going to visit. We really don't want to, but we are going to end up going. Blah.
I spent my weekend cleaning and shopping. Sunday we had dinner at Outback with my family for a combo mother's day and birthday thing.
friday - didn't do much, spent it at home with my cousins lil kiddos
sat - was date night with DH. Went to dinner and movies. I felt bad missing the GTG with the nesties so i made DH watch something borrowed LOL
sun - cleaned, did laundry and then we went out for a mothers day dinner with the inlaws

Taking a break from being poked and prodded

I am with you! Vegas is way overrated. I sort of could understand the allure when I lived in CA...not a far trip by plane or car. But, from here? Just to be sweaty, drunk, sleep-deprived, and broke? I'll pass!
Friday: dinner out and watched Friday Night Lights
Saturday: Helped my mom prepare for graduation (she runs it for the high school she works at) and took my ILs out to dinner for Mother's Day
Sunday: Church, early dinner with my parents for Mother's Day, planted flowes in our planters.
. brookie's cookies & more . miss wayne county . pinterest .
Friday: Spent some time outside with Emma and DH while it was nice
Saturday: Date night with DH while Emma spent some time with my parents.
Sunday: Church in the morning, a little shopping, dinner at my parents' house, spent some more time outside in the sun
Outside! We did a TON of yardwork this weekend including removing 5 pine trees that were all around 30' high. H/his Uncle had a great time with the chainsaw! I got a lot of crap out of the flower beds too in anticipation of planting at the end of the month.
Plus we had all the windows open and cleaned/aired out the house. It was just wonderful.
Saturday we went shopping for ideas/plans for our kitchen. We went to IL's house for Mother's Day dinner. MIL gave me a card and $$ for maternity clothes....so nice of her!
Sunday I spent all day emptying our entire kitchen so that DH can start tearing it apart. I took everything down to the basement one laundry basket at a time. My legs burn from all the stairs (pathetic, huh?). I went to DH's softball game in the evening.
Sat: got my hair highlighted (it's really blonder now) and a cut (it's really short for me, still getting use to it). Joshua's 1st b-day w/the family, loved the weather.
Sun: plans changed, so DH grilled for the IL's & my parents & my aunt....enjoyed not doing dishes for a day.....w/everyone watching the kids, i got to get some much needed work done donating some of my clothes
