Monday Musings

What a busy, but fun weekend! We got a lot of family Halloween festivities done.

On Friday, Tanner had no school, so we went out to the Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Park and Pier to meet my friend Suz and her kids to play. After the play park there, we all took a stroll down the pier. Suz was able to get my new favorite photo of the boys and me {thank you ,Suz!}


This of course is my fabulous friend, Suz...


On Friday night, Suz and I went out with a couple of other girlfriends to The Granary here in Mt. Pleasant. It was my first time and oh. my. God. it was sooooo good. We all split the charcuterie and cheese plates and my entree was grilled swordfish over some yummy veggies. I am definitely taking my husband there for date night; he'd definitely enjoy it. We then went to an English pub called My Father's Moustache and basically closed down the place just chatting away. It was nice to get out, but I was feeling it the next day - more so for lack of sleep, not the alcohol.

On Saturday, I took Tanner and Breckin to the Towne Centre for their Trick-or-Treat...most of the stores hand out candy to the kids and there was a jump castle. It was really nice weather for it, maybe even a little on the hot side! Is it really the end of October? 80s seems high!

I was able to take a run that evening and got to catch this beautiful sunset...


So serene...glad it is right near my house.

On Sunday, we went to church, out to lunch and even made a family trip to Walmart for some essentials. I went to the grocery store that afternoon {starting up the meal prepping again} and we had our little family pumpkin carving party that evening...the boys really enjoyed it.




And of course Farrah was hanging out with us the whole time...


She has even recently begun working on sitting up on her own!


I hope y'all had a great weekend...oh, and that thing I kept saying I was going to find the time to do? I finally did it...

Monday Musings

What a weekend! Of course, gone by too quickly like all the rest.

I don't know where my head has been lately - even though I've been trying hard to menu plan and stick to it, somehow we still end up at a restaurant booth somewhere. Friday night, we actually went to TGIF {fitting, right?}

Jake had USCG duty this weekend so it was the boys and me against the world {more like me against them}. We started out our Saturday with a trip to Target where I managed to get Tanner's birthday gift without him realizing and a few other things for his Lego-themed birthday party coming up. We then went to the local Halloween store to pick out his costume. {Breckin will be recycling Tanner's Tigger costume from when he was a baby/toddler.} Tanner picked out Spiderman...can't wait to show you pics of how cute he is in it...and Tigger too!

After Jake got home and settled in, we had our family pumpkin-carving party...

Of course, as usual, I'm not in any of the pictures...being the photographer and all. I always joke with Jake that I'm glad I can make these memories for HIM. Haha.

It was definitely a great way to spend a rainy Saturday with tropical storm Sandy out there.

Sunday I worked, and Jake did too, so we had a babysitter for the boys - which they just loved. We are so thankful for having teenage girls move in next door - more date nights for us!

We capped off the weekend at our family spot {yet another restaurant - so much for that menu plan!} - Los Arcos. I was glad to enjoy a margarita...yum.

Hope y'all had a great weekend! xoxo
