Friday Favorites: Give Me All The Sunshine

Happy Friday Friends!!! 

In true Friday Fashion, I'm bringing you my assortment of Favorites and linking up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci today.
If you're stopping by from the link up, let me know :) 

Today's Friday Favorites includes All the Sunshine!!!

Up until yesterday, the weather this past week in Austin has been gorgeous! 
On Saturday, we had no plans, so we decided to take a day trip over to Fredricksburg, Tx, but first, we stopped at The Salt Lick for BBQ. 
We've been to the Salt Lick in Round Rock, but DJ wanted to go to the original, and friends, it did not disappoint. We're thankful we went for an early lunch, because I can imagine how crowded this place can get, especially when the weather is finally warm! 
You'll find the original in Texas Hill and Wine Country. 
There's a ton of tables to wait outside and even a winery. They also have a playground, so after we ate, we let the girls play for a bit. 
I mean, the food is so good y'all! 
And we all shared their peach cobbler for dessert! Yum! 
We made it to Fredricksburg around 1, and walked through their downtown before heading to the Pacific War Museum. 
The girls do really well through the first half of museums, and the last half, we also have to hurry through. DJ and Gretchen could stand around and read everything, but after a while, Megan, Adalyn, and my attention starts to fade. 
There was a little "We Can Do It" photo prop, and the girls tried their best to reenact the poster. 
After the museum, we had candy :) 
We walked the streets more, and the girls were intrigued by the accordion player. He even let the girls play a few notes.  
Sunday after church, we rode bikes outside. The weather was gorgeous and had warmed up even more from Saturday. 

Eventually, I took a little nap, and this girl did some reading. 
Then, DJ took all the girls to see the Lego Movie, and I enjoyed two hours of quiet at home. It was wonderful!
Monday after school, the girls jumped on the trampoline and showed off a few tricks. 
We have loved the warmer weather!
Adalyn came home Tuesday letting us know that she was a Counting Champ!!! She had to count to 100 all by herself to earn her button and she was so excited! 
These outfits came in from Sparkle In Pink and I'm obsessed. 

They have great quality little dresses and tops and they're super affordable! 
Our front porch got a little makeover since the weather was warm.

We still need to refinish the bench, and add some plants, but we're waiting for it to warm up a bit. 
Wednesday afternoon, the weather was almost 80 and it was gorgeous! It was definitely a teaser for Spring! We walked home from the bus stop, and found..... 
Bunny Rabbit Flowers!!!!

They're actually little weeds, but growing up, my grandmother told me they were Bunny Rabbit Flowers, because if you look at them a certain way, they look like a little bunny. They're the first sign of Spring, and tell us that Easter is right around the corner. As a child, I loved picking my grandmother these bouquets and giving them to her. 

The girls each picked a "flower" and we brought them home and put them in a little vase. 
After snacks and homework, we went back outside for bike rides, scooter rides, and roller skates! 
Megan was being a big helper, like she always is! 
These two girls have the sweetest friendship, and I pray it always continues. 

The weather has turned off cold again, leaving all of us Texans super confused. The other day, DJ had on shorts, a polo, and a long sleeve jacket, and he looked totally confused as to what he should wear. But, when you're in the 50s in the morning, almost 80s in the afternoon, and then in the 40s the next day, we have every right to not know what to wear.
