Weekend Fun... and a GIVEAWAY!

Happy, happy Monday!  We had a great weekend, and hope you all did too!  Friday the kids and I were alone so we ran to Publix early and got all we needed for dinner and a few other odds and ends.  After that I figured it would be nice to take them to the kiddie pool in our development so they could splash around and have some fun before the rain came.  Summer time is the rainiest season in Florida which kind of sucks because we can't really enjoy being outdoors too long because it's guaranteed to rain everyday.  The kids had a blast at the pool.  It's so cute to see them play and splash around and I'm able to relax a bit and just have fun watching them.

Even Anna and Elsa joined in on some sunbathing action

Later in the evening I headed to my sister-in-law's so we could set her house up for our girl's night for our future sister-in-law on Saturday.  We always have so much fun together, I really hit the jackpot in the in-law department.  I love them all, and don't even consider any of them "in-laws", it's like we have been family forever.

Saturday brought our girl's night.  The sushi restaurant we went to was AMAZING.  So gorgeous, wonderful service and views of the ocean.  Seriously, it was the best place.  We all had so much fun laughing, eating and drinking.

The best drink I've ever had, called Hello Kitty it had a great spice to it from fresh ginger

After the restaurant we went back to my sister-in-law's for dessert, wine/champs and lingerie gift opening. She got some beautiful gifts!  We all gave Anamarie marriage advice, shared funny stories and had the best time together.

Goodie bags!

It was really a great weekend and it makes me look even more forward to the wedding!  Only two more weeks!!

Um y'all are gorgeous! Love some fresh ginger in cocktails, but I'm guessing if I ask for a Hello Kitty at any old bar they'll tell me to try Walmart ha. Glad you had a great time this weekend!
