Our Weekend

Another weekend has come and gone...they just go way too fast! On Friday we did our normal routine of playing, eating, and getting Maddy to bed while I finished working. We did cuddle up a few minutes before Maddy went to bed and caught the last part of Mickey Mouse.

I got an interesting text from my mom Friday night.

It was supposed to say I just got the "shock" of my life!!!! Gotta love technology lol. I love Friday nights because I know I don't have to worry about work the next day and I generally get to sleep in. I find myself not knowing what to do with my time after work and end up just laying on the couch and watching tv. I woke up at 9:29 a.m. Saturday morning and just said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I needed the sleep! I had plans of going to Georgia for their tax free weekend to exchange a few shirts I bought for Maddy up in Gatlinburg. My niece's spent the night with my mom Friday night so we headed over to my mom's so we could all go in the same car. Maddy loves my nieces and they all had a fun time running around the house. I meant to bring my camera, but completely forgot! I find towards the end of July I just stop taking pictures and then pick it back up in September for Maddy's birthday. We finally hit the road...it's about an hour drive down there. On the way my niece decided she was hungry so we stopped by Chick-Fil-A for some yummy food. Maddy did very well while we ordered and ate. After we ate we went to the OshKosh outlet and that's where the craziness began. I forgot Maddy's stroller and when you take her in a store like OshKosh she just goes crazy and runs around and pulls the clothes and hides under the clothes rack...yeah...it's loads of fun. My mom let me grab Maddy's shirts first and then I took Maddy back while my mom let my niece's pick out some clothes for school. While they were getting their clothes I found myself picking up more clothes for Maddy...before I knew it I racked up a nice bill. I love OshKosh, but goodness they have too many cute clothes that are kinda pricey...even in the outlets and it makes it hard. I had plans of going to Old Navy for me some clothes because I don't really have anything anymore. I decided after OshKosh I probably wouldn't get me anything because I spent too much, but I was going to look anyways. Old Navy had a line a mile long so we went in and turned right around and went right back out lol. I'm very happy to have gotten Maddy the clothes I did...I'm a clothes-a-holic for Maddy. On the way home this is what my mom's backseat looked like

You know technology has taken over when your car looks like this lol. The girls have a DSi and Maddy has my phone watching a movie. Maddy LOVES their dsi and played on it a good bit on the way up.

After the outlets we headed back to my mom's house and we all played outside. We raced each other in the yard for a while. Maddy did a good job of keeping up with us and we made sure to let her win some too. She was loving it! After we played outside it was time to take the girls home so me and Maddy rode with them and Maddy cried when we left and there was no more Abby and Sara. We had to go to Publix to get a few things that were on sale and then we went to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream. Maddy loves picking out her ice cream and she chose Strawberry Lemonade. After ice cream we had one more stop to make and that was Wal-Mart. By the time we got to my mom's house it was midnight or close to it. Maddy had no nap at all that day. On Sunday we went to church and Maddy tried out her new room. I don't think she likes it as much as her other room. She told me the lady took her baby. I don't know if they aren't allowed to hold their comfort item in this class or not because they have cubbies. I guess I need to ask. When I went to pick her up she looked confused/unsure. I hope she continues to like church. We then went to Red Lobster to celebrate my uncle's birthday. Maddy was all over the place! We had a total of 16 people, 3 of which were toddlers. It was a fun time though. After lunch we came home and Maddy played and I cleaned cleaned cleaned. I made good progress on our house, but still have a long way to go. 

That was our weekend in a nutshell. I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a good week so far :)
