The Weekend to Destroy ALL Weekends

Oy! This weekend was so busy but beyond fun. It's probably going to take me most of the week just to get through blogging about the weekend, that's how great it was. So I'm going to start with the fun that was Easter/Blair's birthday at my parents house.

My mom and I both gave up Starbucks for Lent. No chai lattes for 47 days was INTENSE. But I survived!

We did it...now let's guzzle this magical goodness.

What I don't understand is when this little 6 pound, 11 ounce baby who squeaked when she cried...

...turned into this sassy, pink and princess obsessed FOUR year old.

Happy birthday, Quinn Blair!

We sang 5 rounds of happy birthdays as early April is very busy for our family! April 2 is my uncle's birthday, April 3 is his son's {my cousin, Ryan}, and April 4 is his daughter's {my cousin, Kayla}. Kayla's boyfriend, Caleb, also has an April 3 birthday! {April 3 would have also been my granny's 102 birthday!}

A marshmallow dipped in sugar... My girl knows what the good stuff is.

And what were the boys doing? Wrestling in a chair.

Happy birthday, Uncle Robert!

After birthday celebrations, it was time to hunt Easter eggs!

All the kids ready to go!

 And my picture hating husband ended up in a picture. {grin}

Miss Priss accidentally got whacked in the head with a metal Easter pail.

Am I a terrible mother for taking a picture before picking her up?

The weather didn't cooperate for the cute CUTE outfit I had planned for today.

But I'd say she still looks pretty stinkin' cute after all.

These 2...best of friends and worst of enemies...but always partners in crime.

Sharing candy with Sister! Love his heart for her.

Me: Trent, come take a picture with me and Sister...

Boy do I have some stories to share about this one.

Because who wouldn't want to ride on the lid of a trashcan diaperless?

Love this girl with her pops.

And with that, Saturday was done...or so I thought. {grin}

Life Lately

To start this post, I would like to note that it is 7:24 CST. I do not have any children home with me today because their school is closed, so they spent the night with Nana and Papa. I intended to sleep until RIGHT when I had to start work. Nope. Sure I slept later than I would have if I were taking the kids to school, but man, being an adult is kind of lame. I started thinking about all the things I could/should get done before starting work and 'being an adult' decided to do them {dishes, recipe prep for the weekend, laundry...see? LAME}.

Anywho...........

I forgot to include this picture in my last post. She is watching an episode of Franklin here...eating frozen peas and broccoli with her snack and her stuffed animal resting on the sides of my laptop. Who requests frozen veggies as a snack? THIS GIRL.

Brent and I have a super fun, busy weekend coming up, and I'm so excited. My mom's side of the family always gets together the day before Easter at my parents' house. Then Sunday we'll do the church thing and then go to Brent's parents. THEN we have tickets to see Sturgill Simpson Sunday night. If you like older country {not this Nashville crap that's out now}, you would like him. He has got a great sound.

CARPET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carpet got installed yesterday. We only have it in the 3 secondary bedrooms, so it took all of a few hours {at most} to put it in. Brent did all our landscaping plan last week, so we are 100% locked and loaded with selections, we have paid for our overages {boo}, and should close in TWO weeks. Let the packing and insanity begin!

This was Drew's room until a few days ago. Now it is Trent's.

I'm going to be at Target when the doors open in 30 minutes to grocery shop and look for a new Easter dress. Totally unnecessary, but it feels needed. {grin} With that, I better get hopping {hahahahaha} if I'm going to make it!

Happy Friday!
