Weekending

This truly was a weekend that tested my limits. Although it was a pretty good weekend, there were many rough spots.

So let's down to it for my weekend recap.

Friday after work, I grabbed some lunch since I picked up the girls by myself. We headed home to have a snack and milk and then my parents showed up. We chatted for awhile, but then I needed to run to Costco and a olive oil shop for a housewarming gift. Around 5:30, Rory and I headed out to my co-workers retirement dinner. It was a lot of fun catching up with old co-workers and eating some pretty amazing food (basque).

Saturday morning we grabbed some breakfast with my in-laws and hung around the house most of the day due to the 100 degree heat. At 4:30, we headed to my sister's house for her housewarming party. Her house looks so beautiful. The girls were super fussy most of the time, so we had to cut out early before dinner. We did get to enjoy some yummy appetizers though.

Sunday morning we headed to Sand Harbor for the day, but the traffic was backed up for three miles. So we headed to Kings Beach instead. We thought the girls would love it, but they weren't so sure of the water. They loved playing in the sand, but didn't want to go into the water. I guess we need to go a few times before they like it more.

Sutton insisted on wearing her hat and our hats

We ate lunch, played in the sand before heading home with two crazy toddlers around 2 pm. When we got home, we did bath time, laundry, vacuuming and then grocery shopping. The girls didn't get much of a nap for the day, so they went to bed pretty early.

All was fine until midnight when Avery woke up screaming. We came in to find that she had thrown up. We had to get her cleaned up, her bed cleaned up and then we brought her into our bed to make sure she was ok. Nope. A half hour later she threw up again, but this time it got in her hair. So we gave her a mini bath, stripped our bed and then Rory slept on the floor of their room with Avery to make sure she wouldn't get sick again. She never did. But in the mix of it all, Sutton woke up and was upset. She wouldn't go back to sleep, so she slept in our bed with me. A bed with no fitted sheet or mattress pad since it was being washed.

I think we finally got to sleep around 3:30 and it made for a quick morning.

Between all the meltdowns, throw up and crazy toddlers this weekend, we are exhausted. Let's hope this week can only get better.

How was your weekend?

Bridal Shower, the Beach and an Aloe Drink

This weekend was lots of fun for me, but I realize I am getting old.  I am fast approaching the Dirty 30 and I am getting tired.  Back to the funness (not even a word and I don't care). Saturday I went to Stacey's bridal shower and it was beautiful.  Her Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor did an amazing job.  Here are the lovely brides-to-be.

Then Sunday the ladies went up to Lake Tahoe for some fun in the sun....lots of fun in the sun as in I have a slight sunburn.  I did use a ton of sunscreen with the wedding coming up and all, but I still got burnt.  That is where my aloe drink comes in.  Heather showed Stacey and I this aloe vera drink.  Sounds gross, but it was really good.  Plus it has aloe chunks in it and I loved it.  If you like Boba drinks, then this is for you. More on this in a second.

See how much fun the ladies had in Tahoe.

And here is the yummy aloe drink.  It is called Alo.  By far the best flavor so far is the watermelon and peach.  In heaven, but I forgot to bring one into work again.  Total bummer.  Go buy this stuff, it helps with tummy aches, sunburns, etc.

Now I am just recovering from my amazing weekend.  Next up for this weekend, the Celebrity Golf Tournament in Tahoe and then a weekend of relaxation.
