Agh! You guys, we did it! We made it through the week and it's on to the weekend! Now, I'll tell you, I don't have a disdain for the work week or for my kids to be in school. It's just that the weekends are all mine and I can do whatever my heart desires with my little family! I love that we get to spend two days together and do exactly what we want to do. Now, I'll admit- most of my weekends are spent playing catch up, but I'm at least catching up with my favorite people in tow.
Last Friday, Gretchen had a writer's celebration in her class. Each student had to choose their favorite book, and write a piece on it. Then they had to complete a self reflected drawing. The parents were invited and the children were able to "present" their piece to their parent. I am thankful for this special little time the two of us had during the school week.
Friday night, Addy wore her "I Still Love Zack Morris" shirt! I bought this several months ago on Zulily and I knew that one of the girls needed this shirt. Heck, I knew that I needed this shirt, but I'd probably get the side-eye if I wore it, so Addy was the chosen one!
Somewhere deep inside, Zack Morris will be remembered as my first love.
And have y'all heard that there's a Saved by the Bell dinner coming to Chicago?? It looks like I'll be making a trip to the windy-city in the near future!
We headed out for a family dinner, and then ran some errands so DJ could look at a new grill.
We made it home a little past bedtime, and found Addy asleep at the top of the stairs!
All of her sisters use to come out of their rooms at this age and fall asleep in the hallway, so it's fitting that we documented the occasion.
Saturday was spent doing laundry and chores around the house, and then Gretchen and I headed off to a birthday party. Can you believe she jumped off this?!

And after the party, we headed to the baseball game! The girls were so excited to get a picture with the mascot.
Except Adalyn. She was not a fun of the big furry blue guy!
We had a few photo ops too.
While she was resting inside, the big and little were outside playing before the rain set in.
Most of our Sunday was spent like this. Megan woke up around 4 am complaining of her tummy hurting. She slept in our bed and stayed asleep until 11! We skipped church since she wasn't feeling well, and she just wanted to cuddle.
DJ stayed home with Megan on Monday, and Gretchen grew up before my eyes. I cannot believe she's almost in 3rd grade!
Tuesday night I had an end of year district wide special education meeting, so DJ took over dance and picking up the girls and then we met at Chili's for dinner. I had chips and queso all to myself before they arrived.

On Wednesday, I showed a little bit of what I've been wearing.
And yesterday, I featured this amazing little chicken dish that is super easy to whip up on a busy night! Everyone in my family loved it and they all asked for seconds! The big girls even wanted me to make it again the very next night! Check it out, because I'm sure it will be a hit in your family too!
Y'all, it rained all week long here. I watched news coverage from Houston and I can't even imagine the insufferable damage going on down there. I suggested that Megan wear her rain boots to school, but she and I have a different idea of what rain boots are.
And the sun finally came out Wednesday night so we were able to make it to the park.
And then we came home for some moon & star gazing. Except they weren't out yet, but don't tell my girls.
Addy P had school pictures on Thursday, and I'm super sad that this Matilda Jane dress is about to be too little for my almost 3 year old! It was one of the very first MJ pieces I purchased!
So, I had also planned to share some super cute shoes today, but I'm spending my night working on a baseball embroidery project so that will have to do for now!!!
Thanks for stopping by today!!! Have a blessed weekend my friends.
We are having that chicken Monday night! And girl I'm with you...I love the weekend !
