Weekend Wrap-Up

I got the idea from this fabulous blogger to do a weekend wrap-up and try to sum up my weekend in one post (usually on Mondays.) Most of you know I'll be lucky if I even get a chance to sit down and actually write about my weekend, but I thought I would give it a whirl and see how long it lasts.

Friday Kelly and I met up with our friends Taylor and Amanda Smith to see the movie "Year One." The movie was terrible but the company was great. Kelly and Taylor work together at MetLife and Amanda and I have gotten to know each other as we painfully sit through the boys softball games on Monday nights. After the movie we went to Bahama Bucks (YUM!) for a sweet treat. We stayed out way past our bed time and finally decided we better head home because we had a busy weekend ahead!

Saturday Kelly woke up at the crack of dawn to play in an all day softball tournament. I enjoyed the morning to myself and finally had some time to do a little craft. I have been DYING to do something crafty lately, and Ben's birthday bash (more on that later) gave me the perfect excuse to bust out my art supplies.

I made him a coloring book with pictures of Thomas the Train and the movie Cars and on the cover I printed all the pics from his recent visit at our house. He loves to look at himself on camera so I thought he'd love to look at these pics when he's coloring.



I decided to go with a "theme" for his gift. Kelly says this was more for my benefit than for Ben's, but oh well. So, I chose "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" as the theme since he loves Thomas the Train, the movie Cars, and Airplanes.

After spending all day at Target, I found some little treasures to make his gift just perfect. It didn't help matters much that I work for the Culture department of Southwest Airlines and was able to snag some goodies for his bag.



Inside you will find:

• A tote
• Homemade coloring book
• Two inflatable airplanes
• Stuffed TJ LUV airplane
• Southwest Airlines color wheel
• Stickers
• Paint with water booklet
• Cars activity book
• Finding Nemo pens and paper
• Sesame Street place mat
• Puzzle
• Tic-Tac-Toe game
• Big Sweetarts candy (not pictured)
  

And I made this little hummer for less than $15.00. BOOYA!

After I was victorious in assembling Ben's gift, I took Cooper for our morning run, ran some other errands around town, came home for a quick nap and then it was out the door again for Matt and Jill's Couples Shower. It was a "stock the bar" theme and they had delicious bar-b-que for everyone to enjoy! Can't wait for Jilly's big day...it will be here before we know it!

Sunday was a busy busy day! I helped Cooper give Kelly his father's day card and then it was off to lunch with my parent's to celebrate Father's Day. Once we finished eating we headed over to my Aunt and Uncles house to celebrate Ben's birthday. It was a Thomas the Train/Pool themed birthday party and everyone had a blast!!

Patiently waiting for my flash to go off...



Smile big...

Check out the life of the party....(Poor thing was pooped from his softball tournament)

Me and La La (Lauren)!

Waiting for us to finish singing "Happy Birthday to Me" to him...

After a long and busy weekend, Kelly and I came home to finish our chores and get ready for the week!

Hope you all are having a Happy Monday!
