Weekend run-down

Santa Clause attacked George

 

 Ryder made an ice cream sundae at my moms. Hello 4th of July colors?

Lucy decided to run off all the Thanksgiving calories she just consumed.

We jumped on the trampoline. Some of us decided to wear both of our shoes, but Lucy has a shoe less left foot trend she had to keep up. Really, her left foot is way smaller and her shoe always falls off.

We looked high and low for the perfect Christmas tree

We found one!

Its crazy how fast Alabama weather changes. There I am, wearing short sleeves and a skirt with no tights, and now 2 days later I have frost bitten toes. 

Did yall have a great Thanksgiving weekend? Did you score any good deals? I DID! Check out that navy pencil skirt Im wearing.........$20 at Anthro, and I also got a red corduroy skirt with HUGE fun pockets for $15! Yay for deals!

Video fun

 Please tell me you all LOVE the "Crazy Target Lady" Commercials. I laugh so hard every time they come on.

This one's my favorite.

Also, I feel that if you love that crazy Target lady, then you will also love this SNL sketch

AND if you love that video, maybe you are a Kristin Wiig fan. If you are, then I know you love Bridesmaids.....and if you love Bridesmaids, then I know you love this scene.

 

Wow, this post got away from me haha! 

Who else is super pumped about all the sale at Anthropologie & Urban Outfitters being an EXTRA 50% off?!?

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend friends!

Oh, what did I do this weekend you ask?

I saw Breaking Dawn. Boom.

News Flash: If the picture above makes you gag because you either a) have decided long ago that this series is for girls in high school and that nobody with a brain would be into it  or b) have decided without reading any of the books or seeing the movies(but going off what the coolest conservative Christian site says), think it will "affect your walk with the Lord" then please stop reading. Because I am about to tell you how awesome this movie is.

Listen people, I have read the books, but even still I sure was clutching the hand of my friend Mollie when there were suspenseful scenes. I KNEW what was going to happen, but the movie still had me on the edge of my seat. I loved it. 

I went to eat a McAlister's after church yesterday with some friends and got my usual Sweet Tea. Sweet Tea is my obsession. I drank WAY TOO MUCH because afterwards when we were in the theater I had to get up to visit the restroom FOUR times. Those McAlister cups are huge! On my 3rd trip out Mollie joined me, we RAN ran to the bathroom and back. Mollie was way ahead of me at one point and I thought about telling her she should try out for the Olympics.... that girl is fast. On our way back to the theater a little 6 year old girl was in our path so I had to yell "watch out!" as we sprinted back to our seats. Im pretty sure she thought she was witnessing a race in progress, that's how fast we were running.

There isnt really a whole lot I can say on here, since I dont want to be a spoiler for anyone. But just know, I want to go see it 10 more times. 

Do you like Twilight? If you do, have you seen the new movie yet?! 

Come on, I know there are some closeted Twilight fans that dont ever talk about it because they are embarrassed. Listen, sometimes its ok to act like a 15 year old......especially when its about awesome movies!

We went out last night

This week I have been feeling kind of blah. Until last night I hadn't left the house since Sunday night. 

When George got home from work yesterday I handed Lucy to him and just had a cry fest. Im really not an emotional person, at all. I dont get moved to tears very easily, but yesterday I was just done. Being cooped up in the house for four days and only seeing two people under the age of four for the most part will take a toll on a girl's emotions, no matter how tough I am.

When I was done having a pity party, I got ready and went out on a fun date with my husband. It made me feel one million times better, and I even feel so much better today. Its amazing what leaving the house will do to a person!

We went to my most favorite restaurant in town, Desperado's! I LOVE steak, and their sweet potato fries are thebomb.com

Here I am, so super pumped to be holding the menu.

 

George wasnt sure about it.

After we ate we went to Barnes & Noble to get coffee, and then on to Target because I wanted to get some yogurt and fruit to have for breakfast with my homemade granola. BUT, this is what our cart looked like.....

Hello nutella. Its been a while.

There was also one more thing,

Dont judge me, but I love her. I think she is super awesome on the office. I know this is not an intelligent read, and probably makes me look ditsy for even buying it. But I like funny things, and shes hi ho hilario, so this book and I are a match made in heaven.

When we got home we watched The Office on DVR and tucked the kids into bed.

It was such a great date, and I feel awesome and refreshed today. George is pretty stellar.

Hope everyone has the best weekend! See you people next week!

A Little Crazy

 

She looks cute enough, but man, sometimes she makes me want to turn in my parent card for a day. Can you do that? 

 

Lately she has been SOOOO whiny. About EVERYTHING.

Dont worry fellow moms, she's not teething, & no earache. She just gets mad at me when I wont let her be as independent as she thinks she is.

This girl thinks she is 20 years old and ready to see the world. Um WRONG.

 

When we go to the grocery store she will pull out all the stops to get out of the cart. She sees that Ryder is allowed to walk around, un-captured, and she thinks she should be awarded the same privileges. Sorry sister. I dont want to pay for the 5,000 jars of baby food you will knock off the shelves. Have a nice day.

 

But then on the flip side she wants to cling to me and gets mad if I walk two steps away from her. She always acts like this when we are home. The other day we were looking at an elmo book on the couch and I stood up and she freaked. I didnt even go anywhere! 

 

She will hand me a book, sit in my lap and get mad that i dont turn the pictures fast enough. She'll hand me a toy and get mad that I dont play with it right.

George and I always joke that she is a mini Donald Trump. Its her way or its wrong.

 

 

I can hear her little corporate self now: "YOU'RE FIRED!"

Treat Yo Self

Im telling you people, I would be BFF with these two.

I did a little of my own Treat Yo Self just moments ago.....in the form of food......as usual.

Chocolate Coconut Bars.

Graham cracker crust, chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, & sweetened condensed milk. Heaven.

Of course its a Martha Recipe. Go here to get it.

I ran out of chocolate chips so I opened up a few fun size reeses pieces from the Halloween candy stash. Its still a winner.

 

Its supposed to be cut up into little bars, but I cant wait that long. I usually just dive right in to a corner with a huge spoon.

Did you have a good weekend? And a good Monday for that matter? Im posting WAY late! George and Ryder are about to go to skate church so Lucy and I are going on a momma-daughter date......to Moe's probably. I love that place.

BYE!

Hello Friday!

In a middle-of-the-night bathroom trip I ran into this:

The Blue Elephant. 

He stopped me in my tracks. My 2am delirious self thought he was a dog that had broken into my house to eat me on my way to the bathroom. Even though the hallway was dark, his big white eyes were visible and staring at me.

Obviously, I realized what he was. But on my way back to the bedroom I sure did kick him and run....he freaked me out.

Thank goodness in the light of day he isnt so scary.

-----------------------------------

Last night on our way home from date night to get the kids I had a brilliant idea. We stopped at Panera to pick up some bagels for breakfast in the morning. I am so proud of myself for thinking of that. This morning when Ryder said "Mommy I hongry" I threw a chocolate chip bagel with hazelnut cream cheese to him. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend! Do you have anything fun planned? I am helping Jenny with Christmas card photo shoots tomorrow! Im excited!

See you next week people!
