Another weekend has come and gone. On Friday night Ben’s preschool had a picnic to celebrate it’s 15 year anniversary. “Picnic” doesn’t really do it justice since it was more like a small carnival. There was bounce houses, face painting, snow cones, cotton candy, horse rides, and lots of games. The school also had dinner catered in for all the families and staff. I’m so happy we made the switch to this school. The environment is better, the teachers are better, and the amount of things they do with the children is awesome. Jack wasn’t quite sure what to think about cotton candy. Despite how sweet it tasted, he definitely…

How was your weekend? We spent the weekend out of town celebrating both of my nieces’ birthdays. How cute are they!? We packed up the car and made the drive to St. Louis but not before Jack made sure to grab his new friends. Our hotel wasn’t quite ready when we got in town so we headed over to the mall where there happened to be a Nintendo tour going on. They had DS stations set up for kids to play and a Mario Cart competition for the older kids. The best $8 ever spent. The hotel called shortly after we got to the mall to let us know our…

Aren’t weekends just awesome? This weekend my best friend Meghan was in town and we got our kids together after being apart for way too long. Watching all of them play together was one of those surreal moments. There’s something so neat about growing up with someone and then watching your kids grow up together. Thankfully Meghan’s parent’s live in town so between the 2 of us, we try to convince her to move back quite often. Meghan’s husband Levi also happens to be one of Ben’s favorite people.  J’s parents came over Friday night for dinner and I made these cookies that I pinned from Lisa. I may have skipped…

Another great weekend in the books! This weekend sort of turned into a 3 day birthday celebration for J and we all had such a great time. This happened on Friday afternoon. One benefit to seeing a particular client of mine is that they are in the  direct path of Chick-Fil-A. Once you eat their nuggets, you will never go back to McDonald’s chicken nuggets. Friday night Ben and I got to work “making” J’s birthday cake. Ben was in charge of mixing, despite his desperate plea to crack the eggs into the bowl. Just this time I didn’t want little bits of egg in the cake. While Ben did…

This weekend was pretty great. We didn’t get a lot accomplished on the “to do” list, but we spent a lot of time together as a family. On Saturday Ben participated in a mud run for kids. He had a blast and kept asking all weekend if he could do it again next year.  While Ben raced, Jack and his friend Paisley kept themselves entertained by chewing on all the things. At 9:00am it was already 90 degrees and 100% humidity. No amount of filter could make me look good 🙂 The rest of the day was spent grocery shopping, going to the pool, and just hanging out at home.…
