Life on the weekends...

I feel most of life happens on the weekends around here. Don't get me wrong I try to enjoy everyday but the schedule and routine of Monday- Friday with work and the controlled chaos and rush that is dinner, bathtime, and bedtime around here it's more fun on the weekends when the clock stops (figuratively since the kid alarm clock still goes off around 430 and 630) and we get to just go with the flow (sometimes in our PJs).

This weekend I had plans to have lunch with a great friend on Saturday. Alissa and I went out to lunch at Medici and had a nice time catching up. I am enjoying the fact that she now lives in town. We took a few self portraits in our booth which was dedicated to Mayor Chris Koos (current Town of Normal mayor). We had some good food, some good drinks, and some good laughs!

Earlier in the day Clay and Kenley had gone to Home Depot and Sam's Club. He reported back they had a nice father/daughter outing together. I had a laugh before they left because Kenley had put on her own coat.

I also like this picture because it looks like she is just standing there saying "What up Mom? Yeah I did this!" HA!!! Too funny. We should have just zipped the back and let her go.  Chase took a 3 hour nap that morning while they were running errands part of that time so it was strange to have some quiet around here.

We had some other good laughs on Saturday when Kenley had to wear Clay's basketball shoes around and when she helped me put on my lipstick for my lunch with Lissa.

Don't we look pretty??

Today (Sunday) I couldn't shake the "sleepies" that must have been passed to me from Chasey. Kids were up like normal but I just couldn't wake up and wanted to do nothing but nap. I managed to squeeze some zzzzzs on and off on the couch. We cheated and let Kenley watch some extra TV but I finally got a little wind to get going around 11. I wish I could have just gone back up to bed and gotten a good nap but not always possible with 2 kiddos so I'm just thankful I got a nap. (Thanks Clay!)

(I'd also like to call out this is my friend Alissa's favorite blanket. I think of her everytime we use it which is often as it's our TV blanket)

Today we also had a first. I painted Kenley's nails for the first time and she loved it.

It makes Clay and I a little sad since it makes her seem like such a big girl. She (and Chase) are both growing up way too fast!!!

And since it seems I had a lot of pics of Kenley from the weekend, here are a few that include Chasey. BONUS!
