Weekend Wrap Up

Happy Wednesday friends! I know it's a little late in the week for a weekend wrap up, but I needed to take Monday to recover from the weekend! We were busy, but we squeezed in some much needed family time and fun. 

Our calendar is booked solid in May, so this weekend we had some downtime while exploring Austin and squeezing in lots of fun. 

Friday was crazy sock day at school. Adalyn put on socks and decided that they were itchy, so she opted for crazy shoes instead. And, a crazy face for this picture! Ha! 

Megan had a living wax museum, and DJ and I were both able to go and see her. She researched Gabby Douglas, and was the perfect little Olympian. 

She had so much fun with this project, and my mama heart was nervous because she's not typically one to speak to people she doesn't know, so I was afraid that she'd be nervous, but she did great!!! She knew all about Gabby! 

We were so proud of her! 

Friday after school, Gretchen was invited to her friend's house and Megan had gymnastics, so it was just Addy and I. Then, DJ came home early, so we treated Adalyn to ice cream. 

Friday night, I attended an oil class in Austin and met Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton. He's a chiropractor in the Dallas area and so well knowledged in Young Living and essential oils. 

Saturday morning, Gretchen had her tech rehearsal for her upcoming play, so DJ and I took the little girls out for a day of fun. 

We headed to a park and found some baby ducks. 

And then headed out to lunch. I have to admit, dining in Austin is the best. There are a ton of restaurants with outdoor seating and so many of them have games for you to play while you're waiting. The girls grabbed Connect 4 and had a fun time playing while we waited for our food.

 DJ and I ordered Boudin balls as an appetizer

and I had a shrimp po'boy for lunch. 

We ate outside and there was a little creek with lots of turtles swimming. 

After lunch, we went to the nature center to explore. 

Adalyn's new favorite animal is a turtle, so she wanted her picture with one in the aquarium. 

We explored all the animals, and let the girls wade in the little creek. 

We picked up Gretchen and then everyone made their own pizzas for pizza night! 

Sunday morning we slept in and DJ installed the girls shower curtain rod (thrilling), and I was able to get some work done, and spend some Old Navy cash! After lunch, we took the girls swimming. The water was cold, but they didn't care too much! 

And later, we went for ice cream again! 

Megan had earned an ice cream treat in our Easter egg hunt, and she wanted to redeem it, but only if we could all go! It was sweet of her to want to include everyone in her treat. 

This week has been busy already, and our we have plans for the weekend too! 

We definitely needed some family together time and so enjoyed each other's company.
