I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I know I did. Adam headed up to NoVa this weekend for his Fantasy Football Draft. Which left me at home by my lonesome with Charlotte. Except, not! Because my Mother in Law is awesome and headed down on Thursday night so that she could watch Charlotte for me on Friday while I worked (Miss Rita was taking a personal day). So our weekend, in my head, began on Thursday; excepting those few hours on Friday that I worked.
Thursday evening, Debbie arrived right in time for dinner - we headed out to Alejandros, Adam's favorite local mexican restaurant. We had a yummy meal and headed back home pretty quickly as Adam's grandmother was also staying with us that night. Charlotte had a great time reading her favorite book and giving kisses to her Great Grandmother. I just can't get enough of these pictures.
After work Friday, Charlotte, Grammy, and I headed over to a friends house whose pool we were checking on while they were on vacation. I am SO glad that Grammy was with us because there was a lizard in one of the filters and I just cannot handle that. I would have preferred a snake. Yuck.
After a brief swim session, which was ended earlier than planned because my sweet daughter is teething and was having a rough evening - we went inside and had dinner. I'm definitely on a make your own salad kick. Sometimes I get on restaurant salad kicks, where I think nothing tastes as good as a salad you get a restaurant, and other time I'm on this kick - where I can't get enough of salads made at home. So we had salad with grilled chicken for dinner. After dinner we cleaned up, checked the pool again and headed home. Grammy and I treated ourselves to some Dairy Queen blizzards while Charlotte and Violet lulled themselves to sleep in the back seat.
Saturday morning we were up and ready to rock. What we were going to do, we weren't sure, but we were ready! We headed out and stopped by April & Austins house as they were packing it up to move on out. It was good to see them, but we felt guilty we couldn't help with the move so the visit was short one. After that we headed downtown to walk around - we looked in some shops, walked through the market and the market building, and stopped for a bit to listen to some Bluegrass music. Charlotte took that time to feed herself a bottle...lazy bones....
Then we went to Red Robin for lunch. Where Charlotte kept us entertained once again with her laziness and knack for finding the most uncomfortable looking comfortable-to-her positions...
We saw Auntie Kinga and Uncle Dan at the restaurant and got in some good kisses with them. It was great seeing them, as briefly as it was, we miss them! After lunch we were all in need of a nap so we headed home and did just that. Later that evening Grammy and I watched a movie. It was a very relaxed and fun day. I was so glad to have help from Grammy and just some special girl time.
Sunday we another lazy one, Charlotte slept in past 8 am (teething is knocking her out). Once she got up we all headed out to breakfast at Famous A's where she ate almost an entire pancake by herself, along with eggs and yogurt. Girlfriend loves to eat! We did some grocery shopping, a little cleaning at home and then Adam and FIL arrived! We were all very glad to see our guys - Charlotte definitely missed her Daddy and was very keen on giving her Papa some extra snuggles too.
We had a nice dinner all together and after Charlotte went to bed, I crashed as well. Weekends are a lot of fun but are also exhausting! I hope you had a lovely weekend and that your week is off to a great start!
