Weekend Recap: Long weekend edition

Hey Ya'll!


Happy Wednesday! Today it is all about the weekend around here! We had a pretty busy weekend so let's get started!

Friday was spent making a mess and hanging around the house! I looked over and saw these two just sitting nicely with each other while watching cartoons and it made my momma heart smile because they were finally just quiet! We also played outside but I didn't take many pictures on Friday! 

Saturday we had so many plans, but they all fell apart so the babies and I just hung outside and rode our bikes and played and played and played! Then we had to take the teenagers shopping for some new pants for school and then we came home and made extra fun messes with dessert! 

He was covered in chocolate! We made pumpkin patches, a recipe I found on Pinterest and this boy absolutely loved them! Just crushed Oreos, some chocolate pudding and candy corn pumpkins make dessert so much fun!

Sunday started a little early! We ate eggs for breakfast and this little boy was licking his plate and then we hopped into the car and four and a half hours later we were checked into our hotel and 

looking out Mimi's windows! 

laying on mimi's carpet is fun too! 

we stayed until about 7:45 and got to eat a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner and the babies got a bath and then it was off to our hotel to sleep. We watched a few cartoons and these two were so sweet and cuddled up with me. 

and then off to bed! 

Surprisingly even though there were five of us in one room we all slept well except for one little wake  up at 1 am when sister sat on brother but we got nice and cuddled up again and I found them like this at 7:30. 

Breakfast was fun with these goofs 

and then it was off to the dentist. 

Riley has been terrified of getting in the chair, but this time he saw Charlotte get her teeth cleaned and when she was done he hopped right up and let them look at his teeth too! It was a very exciting time because we are making progress with Riley! Soon he will be getting his teeth cleaned too! 

While big sisters got their teeth cleaned these two got to play with all the toys and even watch some Netflix when they started to get antsy because we were there for quite a while! 

As a treat we got Mexican for lunch from my favorite restaurant, La Parilla! It is simply the best and I love it so much :) 

and then arrived home for a beautiful sunset at 6 pm that night. It rained the entire way home so I was thankful for sleeping kids, and a movie for the last thirty minutes and for sunshine when we got home. 

Why do we drive all the way to Mimi's for dentist appointments you ask? Well I have been going to this same dentist for my entire life, well since I was about 10. My mom started working at this dentist office and we have been going ever since, and she still works there. It is like a second family to me, and Charlotte practically grew up there. When we lived five minutes away from Mimi for two years Charlotte and I would go visit Mimi all the time. So she was used to going and seeing all the different things and she would see Mommy get in the chair for cleanings and so she would want to try. Then we moved down to where we are now, and Riley never got the opportunity to get comfortable with the dentist. I trust these people, they love my kids and we get to visit Mimi so it all works out. Yeah the four hour drives suck but we split it into two days so it is easier on the kids and we get to see family we don't normally get to see, so some may think oh that is so inconvenient or I would never do that but I love my mom and my kiddos love their Mimi and these people are like family to us and so we are going to continue going to this dentist!  :) :) 

So that was our weekend, started out chill and relaxed and turned into absolute insanity! 

I hope everyone has a great day and see y'all soon! 

Thanks for stopping by!
