I had grand aspirations of doing a REAL Manic Monday post using the cool new ‘how to make collage in Picmonkey before you can officially make a collage with them’ instructions I posted about last week. You guys are going to have to imagine how cool it would have looked … because this lady? This lady is EXHAUSTED. It was the funnest, most exhausting weekend ever.
Friday night, we had Jill from Baby Rabies over for dinner. We grilled out, had some wine, let the kids run around like crazy heathens … and not one photo did EITHER of us take. I’m kind of weirded out by that, considering both of us are usually glued to both our cameras and our iPhones. Regardless, we had a fabulous time. We chatted, we laughed, we let the husbands watch the kids. WIN.
Saturday, both of the boys trekked out to Tyler for a birthday party for my BFF’s kiddos. It’s a two + hour drive there and back. It did not go well.
The party, however, was amazing. My BFF is an event coordinator, so her parties are always outrageously over-the-top good. The woman was up at 4am that morning hanging up cardboard cutouts and setting up a ‘make your own cowboy hat’ table. Just so we’re all clear, the Mouse will be lucky if he gets balloons at his 4th birthday, lol.
We got home really late on Saturday night {you can read about the fun drive there and back here}, and then Sunday afternoon the Mouse and I went to another birthday party, this time at the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science. There were dinosaurs and sharks and a way cool children’s museum. We’re definitely going to have to go back with the whole family once the Froggy is a little bigger. The Mouse was pretty much in love with the sand and water exhibits, and was all about crawling through ant tunnels and trying on real fireman uniforms.
By the time we left, and ran errands, did the grocery shopping, got home, and threw both kids in the bath … momma was DONESKY. I wasn’t home all weekend. At about 1030pm last night I wondered if I had any clean underwear {since I didn’t get to do any laundry}, but pretty much ignored that thought and fell into bed. I need a weekend from my weekend.
And one of the Froggy, because I can’t help myself.
Tottums, out.
