Monday Musings

If you stopped by my blog late last week, you may have noticed some changes were made. Yep, that's right..even though I love a good sunset/sunrise, I took it down and turned it into this:

But I'm just realizing that if you're reading my blog right now, I didn't really need to post that picture because you're obviously already seeing it... #blondemoment

Speaking of blonde moments...I did ask y'all last week whether I should stay blonde or go brunette...and well, the verdict is: Go Brunette.

{Sort of fuzzy, but this pic is from when I went really brunette two years ago...and my Tundra is in this picture!}

I am currently still blonde...but pretty sure I'm going to make the big change this week when I find a good free moment. I think brunette is just best for fall/winter...and plus, brunette is more my hubby's taste.

Anywho...on to this past weekend's events! We actually had a pretty darn good weekend. Friday night was my neighborhood wine club's wine night of the month and oh man, it got a little craaaaaazzy up in there. {This tends to happen when a bunch of moms get relieved of kid duty for the evening.} We had us a little dance part-ay pretty much and I may or may not have done the choreography from Britney Spears' Baby One More Time video {oh yes, I know it} when that song came on...I'm a still a little fuzzy...but I'm sure this picture is proof.

Yep, that'd be me, in all my Rainbow Brite glory. Oh yes, I forgot to mention we decided to make it a costume party in spirit of Halloween...I don't typically dress as a rainbow-legged and -armed streetwalker and party with nurses. {Hope y'all checked out my DIY Mother/Daughter Rainbow Brite costumes post on Friday...}

Jake had to work USCG all weekend, but when he got home on Saturday, we all went out to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Breckin is such a salt-lover...always mooching off our margaritas.

And he actually got off USCG early on Sunday, so he, Farrah and I went to a bar called The Rusty Rudder and watched the Packers/Panthers game. {Tanner and Breckin were with Nana & Papa at the pumpkin patch, so it was a nice little break.}

After we picked up the boys, we spent some time playing in the backyard...

And then it was time to get ready for the Monday ahead.

Hope y'all have a great week!

Monday Musings

Oh what a weekend! We did so much for the last weekend before school starts...on Saturday, we went out to dinner as a family and then headed over to the local put-put/game arcade, Blackbeard's Cove with our friends Bill & Suz, who also have kids Tanner's and Breckin's ages. Suz and I sung about three songs each on karaoke...yeah, we were brave {and maybe a bit buzzed}! But it was so fun. I wish I had pictures {or video; that would be more embarassing}.

On Sunday, we went to church and then went to the splash park. I wish I had pics, but I left my phone in the car the entire time. It was a clear, sunny day - so nice since it had been rainy since Wednesday...and we're already back to rain again today.

In other glorious news, I won my first blog giveaway! It's a free blog makeover by Tricia Nae Designs via Cait's blog.

Thank you so much, Cait, I can't wait to see what Tricia does for my blog. If y'all don't follow Cait's blog, Southern Curls & Pearls, you definitely should...she is absolutely darling and has great style.

Today, Tanner and I are headed to meet his 2nd grade teacher. He starts back to school on Wednesday! This summer flew by too fast, but we had a lot of fun.

Wish I had more today...it's one of those days where my mind isn't quite yet organized back from the weekend. I didn't even get to do my Sunday prep for clean eating this week. {Gasp!} No worries, I had some clean eats leftover from last week, so I'm living on those until I can get to the grocery store and do my prep this evening. I'm doing pretty well, except this weekend I definitely did some cheating. But you do gotta live a little, right? As long as you're able to get right back on track.
