Hi Friends and Happy Monday! I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends...hope you will join us!
We are coming off the coziest....most productive weekend...mostly at home...it was so good for the soul!
Here is what we were up to...
Friday Night
After Friday Night Pizza Night, we let Eva have a "function"...guess that's what all of the kids are calling them nowadays...Rob and I agreed this is the sweet spot for hosting...in 7th grade...before we have to worry abut the threat of alcohol...good clean fun with games of manhunt (outside in the rain I may add)...music in the garage then an online trivia game...I have to say...I was very impressed with these middle schoolers!
Rob and I supervised and also watched "Taken" the new Natalie Holloway documentary. It was excellent. I am glad I saw this after our trip to Aruba this past year though- I didn't know that they were staying at the same hotel we were at- ugh! Such a sad sad story
As soon as the last kid was picked up at 11 pm, we cleaned up and crashed!
Saturday
Rob was up before me because I slept in! It felt SO GOOD...I made my way downstairs around 9! Crazy...glad I did that though. We got right to work after our coffee. (and under eye patches- ha!)
Rob started bringing down the boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic and he and I got decorating.
Diana decided to Facetime me as she was getting ready for her "Big Reveal."
She also asked if she could come home this night- her roommate was away for the weekend and there was not much going on- she wanted a home-cooked meal and some fam time so of course I obliged and told her I would pick her up after Eva's hockey game.
It was the day her sorority members learned who their Big Sisters or Bigs were and she had guessed right- so cute.
Her theme was "Gossip Girl" with red, white and black. She sent me the cutest pics of course...
Rob headed outside to blow leaves while I finished decorating inside. Got most of it done. We just have to put up our bedroom tree and then Rob will also put up the window wreaths and candles as he has time over the next week or so.
Later on, we headed to Eva's hockey game. It was a tight came- very exciting but they lost.
After that, I the fam headed home and I headed to the grocery store for a few things I needed for our dinner then bopped on over to Merrimack to pick up our precious cargo ;) Yeah! Diana was coming home!
I whipped up Chicken Piccata, Angel Hair, Salad and Bread for the special occasion and Papa even joined us! We loved catching up and hearing all about college life :)
After dinner, Papa went down to watch some Hallmark and our little fam decorated our family tree together.
Remi was so excited that Sissy was home...he was going crazy and even decided, when Rob left for Walmart to grab batteries, that he would pee everywhere! This guy tho ;)
Then the girls entertained me by showing me the Dancing With The Stars dances they learned- so fun!
Later...it was time to crash...all was calm and bright!
Sunday
We were up bright and early. Rob finished blowing leaves and Diana and I hit Starbucks for our first holiday drinks of the season and a session of tea-spilling ;)
So good for the soul!
Then I brought her back to school. She had to get ready to cheer at the women's basketball game.
I then went grocery shopping and the rest of my fam headed to Eva's hockey game.
I came home, unloaded everything and got our Sunday dinner in the oven- Pork Roast with Apples, Carrots and Onions, Chicken Tortellini and Popovers- yum!
Last night, after dinner, there was homework and organizing and chilling with some Hallmark. What were you all up to?
