weekend recap

i'm a simple person- so the highlight of my weekend may have been getting a free pastry at Panera (thank you Panera Reward points)

i thought about it all day friday- then friday night before bed & finally saturday morning when i woke up.

pastry = yum. free = awesome.

free pastry = yum awesome!!!

and since we have 2 rewards cards (one for me. one for the husband.) we got 2 free pastries. ::head explodes::

brynn approved as well:


(chillin at Panera)

when we got home (after i also dragged everyone into the shoe store in hopes of scoring some wedges- only to get nagged by the husband because he couldn't control alex & he loathes shopping so i had to cut my browsing short & leave wedge-less) alex was in hyper mode.

the term "bouncing off the walls" comes to mind.

...see?

and because i can't get over her mini wedges:

whaaaa?! ::dead::

and let's not forget about brynn:

(as you can see- the husband is still recovering from his foray into a shoestore. dear God. the horror!)

i'm a little concerned because she looks so..BIG in these pictures. when did this happen? where have i been?

denial much?

anyway- after alex's trip to 'hyperville' she made a pitstop at 'meltdown town'. so we dragged her outside because "outside" has magical powers & it makes all bad things go away.

for serious. epic tantrums are often cut short by simply mentioning the word "outside?"

cue: the heavens opening, angels descending & unicorns tossing ther glitter filled manes whilst trotting on streets of rainbow.

that is what "outside" means to an 18 month old.

hooray. chicken butt.

happy weekend!
