Woot-woot for another three day weekend!
We had a wedding in Ohio over the weekend, so we headed for there on Friday morning. Ben was in the bridal party so we needed to be there by six o’clock that evening for rehearsal, and we left that morning in time to have over an hour to spare for extra stops, nursing, etc. We managed to eat through that hour really fast with two major diaper blow outs (i knew they were coming but was just hoping it would happen the day before…), construction zones, bad traffic, and the obligatory stop at Panera Bread for lunch. We got to the rehearsal at exactly six o’clock…it was cutting it a little close, yeah. But we made it!
Ben had wedding stuff for most of the day, but we did have the morning to sleep in and grab breakfast together before he headed out. Ayla and I just holed up in our hotel room for the day…napping, playing, watching Food Network. There was an indoor pool available for swimming, and I was really hoping to get into with Ayla for her first little swim adventure…but it was such a cold, rainy day that I couldn’t muster up motivation to do it. I actually had to run to the store to get some warm clothes for Ayla since I hardly had anything warm for her to wear, and it was fifty three degrees outside! Ben came and picked us up for the wedding in the afternoon, and it was a beautiful evening…even though I spent half of it in the nursery or walking the stroller around with my tired, cranky child, hehe. #momlife I still wouldn’t trade it for all the fuss-free weddings in the world though!
We left for home a little after four o’clock in the morning on Sunday, so we could get a good couple of hours in before Ayla woke up. She fussed a little when we took her from the bed to the car seat, but then she went right back to sleep and didn’t wake up again until seven thirty when we stopped for breakfast. The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful…we made it home by noon and spent the rest of the day at home. We’re going to be apart this next week, so it was good to have a quiet evening to spend together before the week beings. It was also the first day that felt like “fall was really in the air” around here, so we had soup for dinner, took a walk around the neighborhood, and crawled in for an early bedtime.
Here are five things I love:
– these darling dresses
– this recipe
– this pretty basket
– this helpful tip
– this song
Have a great week!!
