We made it to Friday. And we are officially half way through November. I have no idea where the last half of the month went. I have a work trip next week back east to the Philadelphia area. So if you have any favorites around there, please send them my way.
Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. Last weekend, Rory was out of town visiting his friends in California. He has season tickets to Nevada basketball, and I thought it would be fun to use his ticket plus my in-laws tickets and take the girls to their first game.
We made a whole evening out of it. I took them to dinner and then we headed to the game where they got the largest tub of popcorn and proceeded to eat most of it before the game even started. And then our friend came over to see us and gave the girls another 1/3 of his tub of popcorn. The girls were in heaven.
We only stayed until half time since the game started at 7 pm and they were getting tired with about 3 minutes left in the half. But overall, they did great, had a great time and asked to go back again.
TWO. Speaking of sports and taking the girls to games, our local visitors authority put the girls and I on their website under the Nevada Wolf Pack section!
THREE. Vici Collection just released a bunch of their holiday line and I went to see if they had any sequins, velvet or lace that I just couldn't live without. And guess what, they had the prettiest velvet blazer. I scooped it up right away and I am hoping to wear it on Christmas. How cute is this? And I will be wearing a shirt under my blazer.

FOUR. There is a 40% off deal at Old Navy. I went there last weekend and I got the girls two pairs of leggings and two pairs of jeans. My girls really needed some new pants for the changing weather. But now I am thinking of getting them some other things as this is a good deal. But I am also thinking of keeping them until Christmas because when you buy stuff now, you save it for Christmas.
That meme that is going around has it right. "Mom I need some toothpaste". "Well you will have to wait until Santa brings it to you for Christmas".
We got the leggings in XS and the jeans in 5T. They fit their waist and were pretty long.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
I am linking up with April, A Little Bit of Everything, Meet @ the Barre and Becky.
Have a great weekend!
I love Vici, that blazer is sooo good! Have a GREAT WEEKEND
ReplyDeleteI love that place too. I went to the store in Walnut Creek and loved it. I hope you have a great weekend too!
DeleteI know what you mean about saving the gifts! We got some new things and I was like man, this should have been for Hanukkah!
ReplyDeleteYes. That is exactly how I have been thinking. Haha. Have a great weekend!
DeleteHow sweet to make a whole night like that to take your little girls out! I bet they loved it and will remember it when they look back at their childhood.
ReplyDeleteLove that blazer... and love that you will be wearing a shirt under it, haha!
I really hope they do. It is all about the memories.
DeleteOh yes, I can't got without a shirt. I am not that brave or dumb. Ha.
Old Navy's sales lately are killing me! Love those leggings. And that blazer -- perfect for the holidays (lol'ed at your comment about wearing a shirt underneath, haha!).
ReplyDeleteI did too because I saw it on a blogger that I adore and she didn't wear a shirt under it either. Nope. Not happening. Old Navy sales always kill me.
DeleteOh how fun that you took the girls to the game!! That cat meme is killing me. I hadn't seen this one and I'm cracking up! I just love that cat.
ReplyDeleteI love all the cat memes. You had some good ones on your blog today too. It was a great time with the girls. I am glad we got to do that together!
DeleteGirl, if you're going to be in Philly, you HAVE to go for a cheesesteak at Tony Luke's. Don't let anyone tell you to go to those other ones...this is THE original. Order a cheesesteak with fried onions ;) promise, this is IT. Also, I just love that cat meme. Legit dying.
ReplyDeleteOk. I will definitely go there. I loved fried onions, so that definitely will be on it! Thank you for the recommendation!
DeleteWhat a fun night for you and your girls! What is it about popcorn that once you get started you can't stop? My mom and I went to a movie earlier this week and I think we ate almost half of our bag of popcorn before the movie even started! And I love the color of that blazer!
ReplyDeleteMy girls LOVE popcorn. It is just the salty goodness I think. That blazer is just sooo pretty. I hope it is just as good when I get it.
DeleteAhhh - was Rory made you took the girls to their first game? :) LOL
ReplyDeleteRaise 'em up right momma! I bet they had the best time!
Haha. He was out of town, so I decided to. But I think he was sad that I actually did go with them because he wanted to take them. They had the best time!!!
