Weekending

*This post contains affiliate links.

And just like that we are half way through the year. How are we in the last week of June already?

We had a pretty good weekend. Short, but good. Friday after work, I grabbed some lunch and then headed to Target and Petco. After coming home and unloading everything, I picked up the girls from daycare and then headed home.

After hanging out at home for a bit, we decided to go get an early dinner and then head to the park with the girls. It was a hot day, so the girls didn't want to stay too long. After getting home, we opened a bottle of white wine and started the tv show The Staircase after putting the girls to bed.

Saturday morning we got up and had donuts that Rory had picked up the afternoon before. Then Rory mowed the lawn while I cleaned the bathroom. The girls played and then we all got ready and went to the outlets to exchange two rompers for dresses and then shop around some more. We got some killer deals this weekend.

The girls wore dresses that I picked up from Target the day before. Lindsay mentioned a cute watermelon dress for her daughter and I knew I had to have one for my girls. They only had one dress, so I bought another equally as cute dress. Plus the girls let me put their hair in pigtails for about 10 minutes. Ha.

After shopping, we promised the girls Chick-fil-a. We ate and then they played until it was almost nap time. Then we headed home where the girls napped for about two hours. After we got up, we headed over to my in-laws house for pizza, playing in the sprinklers and hang out time because my SIL and nephew were in town.

After coming home, we put the girls to bed and watched another episode of the Staircase.

Sunday morning we got up and headed to the beach. My SIL wanted to go to Tahoe, so we all went as a family. And I am happy to report that the girls were on their best behavior. We played in the water, made sand castles, ate lunch and played some water games. It was a great time. We got there just before 9 am and were there until just after 2 pm. The girls napped on the way home.

We got home and I quickly showered while Rory and the girls relaxed. Then I headed out to the grocery store since we needed to stock up the fridge. While I was gone, Rory bathed the girls and got laundry started.

I got home and made spaghetti with garlic bread which we all gobbled up. After cleaning everything up, we got the girls ready for bed and then read bedtime stories. I spent the rest of the evening doing laundry, prepping for the week ahead and then we watched The Affair.

Pretty easy going weekend. How was your weekend?

  3. Those flamingo bathing suits are to die for! I love a cute back on a suit. How do you like The Staircase? I saw it on Netflix and thought about checking it out, but decided on Jane The Virgin haha. Glad you had a good weekend!

    1. They are from Gymboree. Soooo stinking cute. I love the back on them as well. My MIL got them for the girls. I am really liking The Staircase. It is eerie, but good. I love true crime stories though. I would watch the first episode for sure. Rory didn't want to, but 5 minutes in and he was hooked. Ha. I love watching Jane the Virgin. Total guilty pleasure. What season are you on?

    1. They are perfect for summer. I wish the girls would keep their hair in the piggies and let me do that more often.

  6. Every time I see pictures of Tahoe I am always amazed by how gorgeous it really is! I saw that watermelon dress at my store, but they were out of Zoe's size. I need to order it online. I like the back of the star dress too! The girls hair looks so cute up!!! I tried to gather the front of Zoe's this morning to pin back but she wasn't having any of it. She has angsty teenage boy hair right now lol.

    1. It is truly beautiful. The water is crystal clear and the sand is sooo soft. But it is cold. ha. You should get the dresses. They are soooo cute on. My girls love them and now I want to buy more dresses. Ha. My girls pull their hair out within 5 minutes. I hate that, so I usually don't do it. They used to love getting their hair done.

    1. Us too. And we bought a state park pass, so we can go whenever we want. I love that! I love it too. I wish they let me do it more often. That is why we cut their hair. ha.

  8. Those photos of the beach are surreal - like a beach imposed onto a mountain back drop. I know it's a beach but with it being so blue and clear I can't quite believe it (as you know our lakes are kind of grey most of the time). Sutton and Avery look so pretty and happy to be in their new dresses - adorable! :))
