* Friday we picked up my cute niece {her mom just had a brand new baby}
and headed to the mall.
Spoiling your own kids is fun but spoiling a niece or nephew is even MORE FUN it seems.
We got Auntie Anne’s pretzels and played at the play place…
We oohed and ahhed at the puppy store…
We made Build A Bears….
And had lunch at Chick-Fila where my niece tried her first ever cherry.
Are they not the cutest cousins ever?! |
*Friday night date night with fun friends HERE.
Joe was VERY proud of me because instead of ordering my USUAL Chicken and Biscuits, I branched out and ordered their Pasta Carbonara.
{YuMMM!}
Then while we were waiting for our car, my friend Chanda dared Joe to let her push him around in a kids cart.
Of course Joe said YES….he’s never met a dare he could say NO to.
We ended the evening with dessert at Apple Dumplings.
{Their mint chocolate chip ice-cream is seriously my fave.}
* Saturday morning brought the return of SPORTS…
Soccer and Flag Football now fill up our Saturdays!
*Saturday night was the first time in awhile where we didn’t have ANY plans and man it was nice!
We baked banana bread,
Went for a family bike ride at sunset..
Yes…my husband wore his jammie pants for the bike ride. It’s how we roll. |
And then came home and made
{One of my family’s FAVORITE recipes!}
* Churchey-Church on Sunday.
London wore her ‘mermaid’ hair
aka: hair french braided by Grandma the day before and then taken out after being slept on.
* We vegged out the rest of the day and after the kidlets were tucked into bed, I planted myself on the couch with a Diet Dr. Pepper and watched the entire Golden Globe Awards.
{I love Tina Fey & Amy Pohler}.
