Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Monday, Everyone!! We had a fun weekend! As I mentioned in my What's Up Wednesday post {HERE}, we had a sitter scheduled bright & early on Saturday so Derek & I could finally go check out TopGolf! We had the BEST time! It was so fun! We said this the last time we tried to go when there was a four hour wait, and we said it again this weekend--we wish we would have thought of the TopGolf concept or could be in on the TopGolf franchise b/c they are seriously doing a killing!

We had so much fun playing but only lasted an hour in the direct sunlight & 100 degree temps! ;)  And playing for 60 straight minutes was clearly enough for us old folks--Derek's shoulder is still tight from his swing and my hip has been hurting from the way I was swinging my club. Seriously, how old are we?!

It was a really fun change of pace having a day date on Saturday morning, and then we spent the rest of the day at home getting the grass cut & cars washed. Unfortunately, Derek doesn't get much help from us girls. ;)

This silly little baby pool that we got at Wal-Mart in Biloxi is still being enjoyed!

That's my pink chair in the background where I was sitting supervising. ;)  Shelby did help Daddy washing the cars though!

Sunday morning brought swim lessons for Shelby, the 11:00 service at church, followed by lunch & naps. After everyone was fast asleep, I snuck out of the house to get a pedicure with Angela. It was such a nice little escape from reality for the afternoon! After my pedicure, we went to Schlotzky's for dinner & then made a quick trip to Target. Derek's squadron at the hospital was having a backpack drive, so we let the girls pick a backpack and the school supplies to fill it for a little girl. Shelby & Hadley had so much fun picking out the backpack (princess themed, of course!) & girly supplies, and we were so proud of them for being excited about it and never once asking for anything for themselves (especially b/c there was some super cute Frozen stuff!!). Sometimes when your kids are whining all day and driving you crazy, it feels like you are the worst parent in the world. But our little trip to Target made us feel like we've a least done something right with them. ;)  Shelby also included this illustration/note to go in the backpack:

Dear Friend, Hope you have a good school year. Your teacher will say "Welcome to our class!" I love you. Hope you like your school supplies. Love, Shelby  P.S. What is your name?
Clearly, these words were all Shelby's. ;)  I would try to give her a little guidance or suggestion on what to write, and she wasn't the least bit interested in my opinion. I'm pretty sure her exact words were: "Come on, Mommy! No telling me what to write in my note!" ;)

It was a great weekend, and we're back to the grind today! And by grind, I mean Derek's at the hospital and we're hanging out with Adam & Will while Angela's at another non-stress test for the babies. :)

Sometimes having two 4 year olds & two 2 year olds in the house can be a little chaotic to say the least, but there are quiet moments here & there where I can actually overhear their little conversations with one another. Today as Shelby & Adam were working on a puzzle of the 7 continents, Shelby told Adam that she had to ask him a question after they finished North America. I figured it was going to be some big important question since they had to get to a stopping point before she could even ask said question. By the time they had North America complete, I was so anxious to hear the question! "Adam, what did you look like when you were a little boy?" ;)  His response was that he wore a diaper and then when he woke up, he was a big boy! :)  Then they started talking about how much fun they had when they were babies, it was seriously too much!

Hope you have a fabulous week!!
