Happy, happy Monday.
Or so I tell myself. Especially given that Texas weather cannot decide whether to be spring or fall and my allergies are running rampant and yet another weekend has come and gone. Sad, as I really do love weekends. And although we didn't have any "huge" plans this weekend, we surely crammed a lot in.
Starting on Friday. When the Husband "guilted" me into picking the girls up early as I was trying to get in my second run in eighteen months (no, seriously, check my Nike app and I've run less than 5 times since my last half marathon in October 2015). However, given that it was hot AND humid, I was happy to cut it short.
And hang out with the Littles. What's better on a Friday afternoon then time at our favorite park (picking all the flowers...again) followed by custard. And cotton candy custard at that.
Then it was off to home for dinner. And homemade pizzas.
I don't know what its is about make-your-own food, but the Littles ate it up. As in all three of their shaped (star, butterfly and flower) pizza.
Apparently someone was not impressed with my photo taking.
And doesn't everyone need a dough necklace. I am not sure what these girls like more -- making their own pizza or playing with the leftover dough.
Even the Husband got into the fun of it...
And will now be in charge of all adult pizzas as it was delicious (well at least the small bite of crust was that I tried. Dang "diet" and "peppers")
The next morning we were off to gymnastics, followed by numerous errands. Since one of them was returning clothes at the factory outlet, I may have bribed the Littles with lunch at the Rain Forest Café.
Needless to say, they had a blast AND ate all of their food (seriously, they never eat) so we may have to go back more often. Especially on Wednesday nights when kids eat for $3.99.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing, going to Barre (me) and grocery shopping before heading to our old neighbors for dinner. Not only was it great to catch up but the girls were in heaven -- spending time with their sweet friend AND playing with play doh and paint (two things that are essentially off limits in our house)
Can you see why? This mess. I just cannot deal!
And then it was Sunday. And our last play of the year (we got the girls season tickets to the Children's Theater for Christmas). The last show was The Little Mermaid and it was so, so, so good. As in, it blew the other shows out of the water. We are guessing that Disney has strict quality control provisions but who knows.
After the play, we headed to dinner with friends who were also at The Little Mermaid, but since the restaurant was across the street from one of daddy's offices, a stop in was a necessity!
The girls loved looking out the windows from the 7th story.
But they really loved playing "boss" and stamping there all-too-important documents.
Then it was off to grab some grub. If you are in Fort Worth, I'd highly recommend Cork and Pig. But I may leave the kids home. Nothing against the restaurant as they were super accommodating and had a kids menu, but my kids want boxed macaroni and cheese -- not fancy macaroni and cheese with various cheeses and bacon...
...but at least we had an ipad to distract and entertain them!
After dinner we headed home and both girls crashed on the way home before 6 PM. Thank goodness both girls can transfer from car seat to bed. Littlest Miss ended up waking up around 7:30 and playing for a bit, but Little Miss was down for the count -- not waking up until 7:00 this morning.
Think they had any fun this weekend?
What about you? How was your weekend?
