We had a short but busy, and fun weekend. Nothing was planned, we just did a lot of flying from the seat of our pants. I like it that way. I know sometimes it is necessary to plan, but I prefer to just go with the flow. Having things on the schedule during the weekends can tend to stress me out--and that's nonsense, stress is for weekdays :)
Friday night, Brian and I decided to get some dinner out, so we called up his mom and she happily agreed to take the munchkins for us. They were equally excited to see grandma Debbie. I didn't get any pics of the evening but it was sure nice and much needed. Brian and I hit up Cheesecake Factory while the kids enjoyed Happy Meals brought for them by Grandma. At the end of the night, Brian and I brought back cheesecake for everyone to enjoy for dessert--a good night indeed.
Saturday, Brian's friends were getting together to meet one of the guys' new fiance. We had some "errands" to run earlier that day, and I already wasn't feeling good for those, so I decided to just stay home and let Brian and Max go--Maggie was pretty cranky too, so we just chilled out.
Chilling with my #1 girl.
Shortly after Maggie and I settled in at home, my lil sis called to see if I wanted to watch Miss Sophia while her and Cody went to do some grocery shopping. Sure!! So, Sophia came over to our house. Maggie was sleeping when she arrived, so for a little bit it was just auntie/niece time!
Auntie Erin snuggled her up in Max & Maggie's baby bouncy seat and she loved it!
She's just the prettiest little thing!!
Soon, Maggie heard there was a baby in her house and woke up. She immediately took ownership of the bouncy seat. She loves her little cousin--she wants to pet her and watch her. She even shared her silky with her for a brief moment before deciding it was too valuable to share with anyone.
Don't worry, Sophia is NOT underneath my monster-sized baby :)
When Brian arrived home from his friends' house, we decided to stop by his parents for a quick visit. They have a smaller dog named, Mickey. Mickey has a little dog door off the back of their house. At one point in our visit, a small child of ours showed up missing. Turned out Maggie found the doggy door and decided to escape--she stood proudly outside the doors looking in at us as we searched for her. Once realizing she'd been discovered, she ran away as quickly as possible--thank God their yard is fenced in! Little turd!
After a visit to Brian's dad and step-mom's, we decided to get dinner with my family. We went to my mom's and had pizza and ice cream.

This is our best attempt at a picture with Papa and all his grands. Not the greatest...but it's a start I suppose.
And then the raspberry monster came out and wreaked havoc on little Maggie's belly! I don't think I've heard her laugh so hard--ever.
Sunday was a lazy day. I did have a baby shower to go to, so Mom watched my kids for a few hours while I went there. It was really nice to see some old faces that I don't get to see much anymore. And it is always exciting to help a friend celebrate impending mommy-hood.
On Monday, I had a dentist appointment so Linds watched my kids. When I got back we had lunch and played for a little bit before heading home. While we were in the living room, Maggie appeared to be missing--again. I swear I watch my kids, she is just a little sneak.
This is where Lindsey found the little stink-bug.
Perched up on Nana's table playing with Mommy's keys and Aunt Leelee's cell phone.
Soon we headed home to wait for Daddy to get off work. We enjoy trying to take pics with all of us in them. The kids think its so funny to see themselves on my phone. So here's take one:
Max decided to not cooperate--typical.
Then take two:
Much better--and so so ornery.
Finally, Monday night Mommy and Max had to make-up snacks for Max's preschool. His turn to bring snacks was Tuesday so we found these little guys (or the inspiration for them I should say) on Pinterest. A little hot glue and masking tape, and wa-la!! Aren't they just adorable.
Max's little robots!
