This weekend was by far my favorite since we’ve been in our new house.
Picture it: windows open, grill smoking, dog running, and children laughter. It was perfect.
Friday was my best girl, Elizabeth’s, 25th birthday. For the first time… ever… Elizabeth packed up and took herself on a trip to Florida to visit a friend of hers which meant I got to pick up my two beautiful god-babies from school after work!
Friday we took the girls to Cheeseburger and Paradise for Mac and Cheese, French Fries and a crab cake for me. Afterwards they both picked out a dessert and scarfed them down. That night, after bath time, us girls cuddled up in the King Size bed and watched Frozen. That.Movie.Is.Adorable. We danced to “Let it go” and laughed at all the parts they didn’t quite get the pun behind but knew if I was laughing it must be hysterical.

Saturday we girls were treated to a waffle breakfast by Chef Boy-R-B and then it was off to yard sales. We gave them each $5.00 to spend and asked them what they wanted. Rylee wanted a guitar (which I just knew we’d never find for less than $5.00) and Layla wanted a stepstool so she could “see her face in the mirror at our house”… well, sure enough, Rylee landed an adorable pick guitar for $2.00 and Layla found a stepstool for $1.00. The girls actually had a hard time spending all of their money as everyone was just giving them anything they looked at. Being adorable must be nice. We stopped at Chick fila on the way home, made a pit stop at the park in our neighborhood for some swing-time and then it was to the house to prep for dinner and play with our new goodies from the Yard Sales. Jess, Matt and Ava came by and we had kabobs, s ’mores, and played a little corn hole around a bonfire. It was a perfect Saturday indeed.

Sunday we enjoyed breakfast at IHOP and Palm Sunday at SouthPoint and the girls had a blast at the children’s church. Afterwards we took them to their grandparents and a big part of me was sad when we came home to a quiet house. Their laughter added something truly special to this weekend.

Brian and I took a walk before dinner and right as I am cleaning up Anchor’s bathroom break from the sidewalk our neighbor’s irrigation system kicks on and water hits Brian clean between the eyes. I have never laughed so hard and I am almost certain I talked about it for the remainder of our 30 minute walk. Just thinking about him standing there soaked with this “WTF” expression on his face still makes me smile. Thank you, house on the corner, for your perfectly timed 230 sprinkling… and Anchor for your perfectly timed potty break so that I was not upright to experience the shower that Brian did. It sealed the deal that this was the best weekend ever!
Welcome, spring!
