Our Weekend

I'm trying to convince myself of the above... even though I'm home with the kids Monday-Friday there's something still pretty awesome about the weekends.  How was everyone's weekend?  Ours was nice. I'm still tired from the weekend, not because of anything exciting though, my son (J) has his molars coming out so he's been waking up once during the night then up for the day at 5:45!  Ugh!  I thought he woke up early before when he was waking between 6:30-7, but this just brought it to a whole new level. Hopefully once his molar comes through he'll go back to his old schedule.

On to this weekend...

Friday my mom, sister, and I had a great time at the Marc Anthony concert.  He puts on a great show every time without fail.  It was nice to hang out the three of us and do something fun without the kids.


On Saturday I was so tired from the not being able to sleep and from J awakening at 5:15 that I stayed put at home.  My sister-in-law came over in the evening and we drank a really good new wine, I can't wait to tell you guys about this one on Wednesday!

Yesterday my husband had a guys only Fantasy Football draft and after it was over all of the families got together, went to the pool and had a barbecue.  I left J with his grandma and just brought E with us. It was nice getting together with everyone, there must have been 20 kids - it was crazy, but they had a great time playing and that's all that matters.




What did you go this weekend?  Is anyone part of a Fantasy Football League?  I hear there are a lot of girl leagues.  I'm not in one, I don't understand football.  I'm going to need hubby to teach me!

Five on Friday



One - This necklace
I was on Pinterest the other day and found this beauty.  Wouldn't it look great as a day-to-day necklace?  I already wear a simple necklace daily that has my kids' names on it and I think this would make the perfect layering piece. I love it in the champagne or gold color so it's just a slight shimmer on my chest.


Two - Blogging
I'm having such a blast blogging!  I'm meeting some really nice people and am enjoying my new creativity outlet.  I look forward to writing many more posts and gaining more readership.  I found this quote the other day and it made me think of my new venture as a blogger:


Three - our new water table
I don't know what's taken us so long to get a water table!  We got one a few days ago and the kids are LOVING it!  They've gone outside and have been more than entertained for about an hour with it, and if your 1 and 3 year old are anything like mine that's HUGE! 

Four - This office space
I keep staring at this picture of this desk.  I love the colors, I love the desk, I love the window shades, I love the natural light... basically I love everything about this space.  The only thing that's missing in the picture is me sitting there writing this post with a cup of coffee :)


Five - Marc Anthony
Last, but not least I'm going to see Marc Anthony tonight in concert.  I have loved his music since I was nine years old!  He puts on such a great show and when he comes to town I try to never miss him.  I'm going with my sister and mom, we're making it a girls night out of it - I don't remember the last time the three of us did something fun together without the kids.



I hope you enjoyed my Five on Friday!  I can't wait to read what yours are! Have a great weekend!
