We had a fun little visit. Deb always comes prepared to do all the fun things! The fun started by pretending that Cam couldn't come after all, only for him to pop up behind Maeve in the back seat of our van. Apparently though she wasn't too shocked, because she figured it was a joke - she's getting too smart these days. 😏 We started off the afternoon with an egg hunt since Easter is coming up and of course the kids were ALL over that considering that means candy! The kids also played outside for a bit doing chalk, although Cam was pretty glued to his phone. He's already acting like a teenager even though he's only 11. 🤦 He definitely is looking so much older all of a sudden and you can tell he cares what he looks like now. All these kids are growing up! We made our own little personal pizzas for dinner and of course didn't have quite enough cheese. 🙄 I was worried the block I got wasn't quite big enough and I was right. Should have just gotten more in the first place. Thank goodness Kroger is so close though because not only did Deb run over to get more cheese, but then Adam ran over to get firewood and some more graham crackers for Smores and then once we got the fire going somehow the marshmallows disappeared in no time before we even started really making the Smores so we went back for a third time! 😂🤦 It was kinda comical and reminded me of the billions of Walmart trips my family always takes when we're together. Someday we'll get our crap together enough to know what we really need on the first trip. 😏 We made the smores with the marshmallows that are filled with chocolate. Whoever came up with that idea is a GENIUS. My biggest beef with smores is always that you're eating this gooey warm marshmallow overtop a hard piece of chocolate. Those chocolate filled marshmallows are a game changer! They are expensive though, so I'll probably just stick to getting regular chocolate and microwaving it a little first when we're doing fires at home like that.
Saturday morning the kids were up having a party with Deb and Cam in their room - they ate some hostess donuts in bed, which they did last time Deb was here when I still pregnant with Nolan and it completely blew Maeve's mind that she got to eat something in her bed. 😂 Now it will be a tradition for sure haha. I did sneak out with Maeve to her dance class and we were excited to get our hands on her new tights and tutu dress that she will wear to every class from now on. She looked too cute in it and was so excited to dance in it. 😍
Deb was awesome to let Adam and I get out on Saturday afternoon for a date. 🙌🙌 We decided to hop around some restaurants downtown to get some food from some of the places Adam is always raving about that he goes for lunch during the week with his coworkers. His boss sure spoils them and I'm always jealous. So, we did carryout at a few different places - got some chips and queso from Superica (we also got some bonus salsa that was awesome too 🙌), some pizza from Slim & Husky's and some mini gourmet donuts from Donut Distillery. It was quite busy downtown so we definitely drove through some traffic, but it was fun to see the city so alive. We actually ended up experiencing a small snag in our plans though because we thought that we ordered carryout from the Slim & Husky's that is by Donut Distillery downtown, but apparently there is another Nashville location we didn't know about and that's where we ordered from instead. 🤦🙄 Kind of a bummer to show up and have them tell you you're at the wrong place. SO we ate our donuts before our pizza, but it's all good. They were divine so I'm not complaining. One of my favorites was actually one that Adam decided to throw in the order, which I wouldn't have even picked, but it was a strawberry lemonade donut - super soft frosting that was sweet and tart at the same time on a super soft donut - it was really unique and really tasty! Thank goodness I'm married to someone who often knows how to pick even better than I do. 🙏 Of course we were worried about our pizza being totally cold by the time we got to it, but it ended up working out really well because they were so nice and understanding and decided to just make a new pizza for us. 🙌🙏 It was delish - they had a jalapeno cilantro ranch drizzle that took the pizza to the next level. So good! The original plan was to share the pizza and share a hot dog too from this other gourmet hot dog place that sounded awesome, but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we had no space left for it after the pizza! We'll just have to save it for another day. We decided it would smart to also stop at Costco on the way home for a few things so we wouldn't have to make another trip there soon. Although I'm kicking myself that we didn't get any veggie straws - totally should have and for some reason I didn't even think about it. 🤦We enjoyed ourselves and all the good food though, so it was a fun day out! Of course the kids had a ball while we were gone doing an activity with some Resurrection eggs, face timing with Gram/my mom (my Aunt Deb is my mom's sister), having a picnic, and doing some puzzles. They loved every minute of having Deb and Cam with us - which was made clear when I asked Maeve what her favorite part was after they left and she said "I can't pick one because everything was my favorite!" 😊 Cam was also so cute with Nolan helping him walk and before they left he actually took a few steps on his own! We finally might be close!! 🤞
We were bummed to see them go, but little did I know that night that my Fabletics order would show up on our doorstep! Woo hoo, I was so excited to get my hands on those leggings and bras and try them on! I was very pleased with it all - so cute and everything feels great and fits well! Yay for having more cute workout clothes - it's about time with how dedicated I have been for the last 15 months. 🙌 After the kids went to bed, we were in the mood for milkshakes and decided what the heck - nevermind the fact that we already had donuts that day. 🙈 I tried the new big scoop cookie dough blast from Sonic and it was GOOOD! You can always sign me up for anything with lots of cookie dough in it. I mean, it was topped with a scoop of oreo chocolate chip cookie dough instead of whipped cream. That's what dreams are made of if you ask me!!!
Yesterday (Sunday) morning the kids were up at 7 happy to be alive, but luckily Nolan slept in because Adam and I were feeling so tired and lazy and ended up sleeping in until 8:10 with 30 minutes to quickly throw some clothes on and go to church. Given that, I give ourselves a high five that we walked in when the opening hymn was being sung. And also a high five that we willed ourselves to go. 😂
In other news, I am about ready to kick Rowan to the curb because he's back AGAIN to just randomly peeing his pants. We're at all an all time low too because instead of just not holding it long enough and peeing on me or the bathroom floor like he usually does, now he just pees wherever he wants and says "I peed" or "I'm peeing" just randomly out of the blue. Usually, he will just be standing in the middle of the floor somewhere, but yesterday afternoon, it had to be worse. Of course it had to be worse, because his name is Rowan and he likes to ruffle my feathers when it comes to his bodily fluids. SO yep, it happened to be while SITTING ON OUR BED! AND like 20 minutes before we were supposed to leave to go to the Pylant's house to hang out and have dinner. Wwwwhhhhhyyyyy!?! 😭😭 So of course we had to strip our bed and wash every last dang piece of our bedding only to see our mattress and discover that Zoey is apparently also peeing all over our bed while she has been sleeping with us at night lately. 🤦🤦🤦 So those days are over and she's gonna have to get used to being locked in her house again. Stinking dog!
So of course we were late showing up to the the Pylant's house, and we have Rowan's impeccable timing to thank for that. As always though, we had a good time with them and Adam squared (our husbands are both named Adam 😂) was able to work together to finish a project in their back yard moving and assembling a playset. The weather was so nice and the kids loved getting to run around in their big back yard. We had pesto pasta, salad, and rolls for dinner and it was all 👌. Amanda is actually having to cut out dairy and meat right now to try and calm her colon down since she got colitis and thinks the dairy especially is a contributor, so we're two peas in a pod now eating vegan. I've sent her lots of recipes and I'm hoping she will find some that she likes and acclimate to the change, all while hopefully feeling better! 🤞
In the interest of time, I'm gonna wrap up here. Here are a bunch of pics from the weekend!
