Hello Monday (August 18, 2025)

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with my blogging partner Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends!  Hope you will join us!

 

Here is what we were up to...

 

 

Friday Night

 


 

 





Rob and I celebrated our anniversary with a wonderful dinner at Copper Door (thank you Papa!)  

 

 

Saturday

 


 

We were so excited for a weekend around home.  We continued working in the garage and what we are calling "Project Homecoming."  Diana is going to host homecoming photos this year in October so we are purging and cleaning and eventually painting to make sure the garage is in great shape.  Hopefully the kids can get pics outside too but that will be weather dependent!

 

 Rob did most of the garage work and I started setting up and decorating for the Cheer Kick Off Dinner we are hosting next weekend.

 

Later on, I made dinner for the fam.  We all ate at different times.  Diana headed to work.  Rob headed to a gig and Pidge and I watched our various shows and I read my book and crashed early. 

 

 

 Sunday

 

We enjoyed a nice slow morning!  Diana's bestie Harry stayed over so I made them and Eva breakfast.  Harry heads back to his ballet academy next week so they needed to catch up desperately :)

 

I started on Diana's Senior Year Cheer Collage for the Senior Game in October- yes early but want to have plenty of time to make it just right.  Rob helped me cut some pics.

Send Help Please
 

 

Then we picked up Cora and took the girls to Canobie for the day!

 


 Truth be told, I tried to be brave and rally for the girls so I went on the Psycho Drome with them and that went downhill fast- I started feeling very sick and rushed off that ride- when I got outside, I felt worse- think it was because of the heat- I felt like I was going to throw up AND pass out- not a good scene.  Kept a low profile- didn't want the girls to get distracted by me but Robby B certainly stepped up to the plate as did Diana.  She came and picked me up and brought me home to bed where I proceeded to sleep for hours.  Rob rallied and made sure the girls had an absolute blast

 







 and then wrapped up the day with a pizza dinner FTW


 

 Feeling better today-ready to rally- getting ready for a home inspection this evening- so so excited for my buyers :)

 

What were you all up to?

What a fun weekend...with the exception of you getting sick. That sounds terrible, but I'm glad you were feeling better after all the rest. Take care of yourself, my friend, and have a wonderful Monday!

I feel like the "senior home clean up" is real as parents get ready to host, at a minimum, a grad party at the end of the year. It's kinda nice to have events that force or encourage you to do some organizing, throwing out, etc. I'm sure the garage will turn out great! I'm sorry you didn't feel well but glad you were able to get some rest and TLC and the girls still had fun. Love the date night pictures- you guys look so good! Have a great Monday!

Thank you my friend :)

Everyday Maddie said...

Happy Anniversary to you and Rob!!

Amy Scott said...

Happy anniversary! That looks delish! I am so sorry the heat go to you and I know how that is possible.

Joyce said...

I relate too well to your amusement park experience. Ugh! Glad the girls had fun though. Hosting is a great incentive to get things done around the house that you have intended to do, but just haven't gotten around to actually doing. Happy Anniversary! Your roses are beautiful!

Holly said...

Thanks Amy!

Holly said...

Thank you Maddie :)

A productive weekend, I must say. Happy Anniversary and lots of good wishes! :) Hugs.

Joanne said...

Happy anniversary! I'm so sorry to hear the ride made you feel sick though. Other than that it sounded like a great weekend.

Holly said...

It is so true what they say- rides don't offer bother kids but once we get older, geesh! No joke :)

Holly said...

Thanks so much!

Holly said...

Thanks Joanne-it was- really can't complain :)

Laura @ Our Grand Lives said...

Oh goodness! What a weekend! Lots of fun (Happy Anniversary!) with a bit of nausea sprinkled in... I'm so glad the troops quickly came to your rescue! I'm also so impressed by how you plan ahead! Way to go, Mama! Have a wonderful week!

Marilyn said...

Organization like that feels so good, even though it is hard work for sure. Looks like a fun day yesterday! Happy Monday!

Julie's Creative Lifestyle said...

It sounds like such a busy weekend. Sorry to hear that you were not feeling well from the ride. Happy Anniversary to you and hubby. I hope you have a nice week Holly.

Kim Carberry said...

Happy anniversary to you and Rob, the dinner out does look good!
Good luck with the garage. How exciting for Diana to be hosting the homecoming photos!
So sorry you were unwell on Sunday, it looks like the girls had a great time though.

Stacy said...

Happy Anniversary! I'm so sorry you got sick, I remember the first time I rode a scrambler and it made me sick! It wasn't the heat for me, I feel like my body has just changed and I don't like that stuff anymore like I used too lol! I'm glad you guys have time to purge the garage before you have that event! We usually host a large family Thanksgiving in November so our garages get makeovers then as well! I so enjoyed visiting with you today! I hope you have a great week!

Holly said...

Thank you Laura - I find that planning ahead makes me less stressed

Holly said...

Yes it feels freeing! It was-thanks Marilyn!

Holly said...

Thank you Julie :)

Holly said...

Thanks Kim- they had a blast and that's all that matters!

Holly said...

This ride is exactly a scrambler! It is just inside- in the dark with flashing lights and music- ahhhh- well Thanksgiving with a clean garage may open up another entertaining space- thanks for putting that idea in my head! :)
