Wonderful Weekend

We had a really nice family weekend... best part was that I was able to get out of my head for a bit and relax with friends.

On Saturday, we had a lazy morning complete with bacon/egg/cream cheese bagels made by chef Vince, coffee and cartoons... Netflix instant queue of course in order to avoid commercials :)  I also took an hour to make a onesie for Jacob Bean for his birthday party later that afternoon.  It was family only plus us <3 and we stayed for a little over an hour for cupcakes, singing and pictures.  After the party, we made a quick stop back home to pack up a few things before heading down to Greenville, SC to see our friends the Popkin Family for a little bonfire and socializing.  Vince and Kamran met due to my t-skirts and we have been friends ever since.  I have made 10 t-skirts so far for Kamran's Swagclub clients, with plenty more to make in the future.  I have also been invited into the Instigators... code name Betsy Ross... you will have to ask me about it sometime and I just might fill you in :)  Anyway, they have 3 kiddos Hunter 13, Jacob 10, and Katie 7... Katie and Bella LOVE each other, and those 2 couldn't be happier that we were all spending the night.  The girls were up by 7 a.m. Sunday morning playing away just as happy as they could be. Once everyone was up and moving around, Kamran made a huge silver dollar pancake breakfast with bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh avocado and tomatoes, DELISH!  Plus 2 cups of coffee and I was good to go.

After breakfast, we hung out and chatted while the kiddos played.  It is always nice to be able to carry on an adult conversation without interruptions.  Oh, and did I mention, we fed the kids first, cleaned up, and then the adults had a nice quiet breakfast... it's the little things...  After packing up, and getting dressed we said good bye and decided to head into downtown Greenville for a bit.  They have a beautiful downtown with Falls Park that includes some river falls and a really cool bridge and picnic area.  We walked around for about an hour and took pictures before calling it a day and heading home.  Greenville really is a cool little town, I see why Vince would love to work there...maybe one day...


We got home around 4 p.m., unloaded the car and just relaxed.  Vince took care of dinner and getting Bella to bed.  I fell asleep around 8 p.m.... winner...

Now it's Monday morning and I have a sick little girl on my hands.  She has a 103 fever right now, so no school for her.  Poor baby...  Agenda for today, small Target run for medicine and ice cream, a little house cleaning, laundry and relaxing.
