{weekend notes}

Once again I’m a day late. Did the daylight savings time change hit anyone else like it did us? I could hardly keep my eyes open yesterday or function. Longest day evvverrrrr!

It was a good weekend. Food. Friends. Sunshine. LOTS of it.

I did lots of meal prep and cooking. Bay baked….obvi! Spent the bulk of our days and evenings outdoors. That sunshine is good for the soul, I tell ya!

Saturday morning I picked up my nephews for a few hours. Against their will, we went to OSH for the #myoshproject Leprechaun Night Light. They hated every second of it…lol. The project wasn’t very fun either. It was all stickers…lame. Benny spilled the gold beads about 1,836 times. Bay + Joe complained the whole time…ha! The lady running the show didn’t like me for some reason. And I didn’t even drop any F-bombs the whole time. WTF? Anyway, they got their night lights made and we got the hell out of there!!

They even cracked a smile for me as we were leaving, so I guess it wasn’t a complete fail!

Lunch at El Patio. I haven’t been to Patio in years. Not sure why, because their food is so damn good!

Oh and I really truly earned that ice-cold beer!

Oh the count of three….everyone close your eyes. LOL! I really asked them to smile and this is what I got. 2 times in a row, so I gave up.

I swear they love me ♥

Bay had her bestie, Ruby for a sleepover. First thing, first…they baked a cake 🙂 Duh! They added food coloring to make it mint green for St Patrick’s Day. So cute!

They followed slime making YouTube videos and recorded themselves making some too. I love these girls! My kitchen was a wreck though.

Sunday Funday was a good one. BIG thank you to the Fricke’s for a fun day!

Appropriate beverages + shoes were required!

We went out to the hills for a day of shooting + picnicking.

We loaded up all the kids + beers and drove a few miles out in the hills. This side-by-side is a bad ass beast.

Our spot for the day ♥

I’m pretty sure he’s telling her safety first. I swear he’s the most patient human ever. Especially with all of us girls!

He’s a good counselor over cocktails too…Ha!

Cheers!

Look at my girl!

All the kids practiced shooting targets + skeet. I loved their excitement to try it out.

Believe it or not, because I hardly did myself, I hit the skeet more than once! My first time and it was an absolute blast!

Bubbles + selfies!

Thank you Garrett + Alex for a perfect day in the Hills. Bailey + I had so much fun shooting guns. Shooting the shit. And hanging out. We’re pretty lucky to have such great friends!

Happy, sun-kissed, sweaty, dirty kids are my favorite ♥

I ended up with some souvenirs too. Completely forgot about all the bones the girls gathered and stuck in the trunk of my car….until 5am Monday morning when I open it at the gym. I even screamed a little.
