Super Crazy Fantabulous Past Few Days

Well, y'all, it's been a week! Or a weekend, or whatever. Let me just say that i'm so glad that we had snow and ice yesterday and I get one more day off! 

I'm not going to be so excited now that we will be heading into another week in June at the end of this school year, thus delaying my summer plans, but for the moment, I'm sort of glad that I have another day. My "to-do list" was only about 1/2 accomplished this weekend!

I didn't blog on Friday, since I was at a continuing education conference, so we have a lot of catching up to do! 

Let's get started. Shall we?
Wednesday night we decided to go out to eat. That's what happens when we forget to get something out of the freezer and I'm too lazy to cook. 

I picked up the little girls from daycare, went by the house to get Gretchen, fed Addy, and then we went to the restaurant to get a table. DJ met us there, and I was so thankful when he finally walked through the door! Megan was throwing a few fits, Gretchen blew her straw paper across the table, I was trying to feed Addy her baby food, and she was screaming most of the time through it, and it was just crazy. So crazy, in fact, that the people who were going to be seated behind us asked to be moved! I wish I was kidding. I wanted to go sit at their table. 

That evening, Megan started throwing up. I started regretting the fact that I didn't have a margarita at dinner. 

DJ stayed home with Megan on Thursday until two. I've taken about 6 "sick days" already this year, and I'm pretty sure that if my principals could fire me, they would. I left work around 2 to pick Megan up from DJ's office, and she fell asleep in the car on the way to get Adalyn from daycare. 
Bless her little heart.

Thankfully, her little tummy bug was short lived and that evening the girls and I made brownies for DJ.
This is the best part of baking!

Now that I'm a mommy, I have to share the spoon. That's love y'all. 

Friday I had a continuing education conference at TU. DJ and I met for lunch and that night we took the girls back to their daycare for a parent's night out.
Here's Addy and I before we left the house! She was ready for bed!
And DJ and I after we dropped the girls off. We were so excited for a kid free date night!

We started off the night by going to David's Bridal, so I could order my bridesmaid's dress for a wedding this summer. Then we went to Hobby Lobby, and Best Buy. We may or may not have bought a ridiculously large t.v. 
We didn't have time for dinner, so we went to Sonic.

I decided that the perfect ending to my date night would be a peanut butter cup blast and an order of mozzarella sticks.

I was right. It was the perfect ending.
And yes, we did buy that ridiculously big t.v.

When I tucked G in that night, she asked me to sleep with her. I told her that I would, but when I went upstairs, I had no idea where I'd fit! 

Sometimes, you just have to sleep with a bunch of toys to make your daughter happy.
On Saturday morning, DJ and G watched The Little Mermaid in 3-D on our new t.v.

Ridiculous. I told you!

Megan got dressed and chose her bows herself. She was telling me that her tongue was dirty and wanted me to take a picture of her dirty tongue. 

That morning, I took the girls to the post office and to Verizon, and the plan was to go to Target afterward, but one big girl kept throwing tantrums, and this mama told her that if she continued to throw a fit, that we'd head home and skip Target. And, i'm not one to go back on my promises so that's what we did. 

After lunch and a failed attempt at naps, DJ and I re-arranged his office.

Then, we almost rushed Megan to the ER.

While we were in the office, Megan literally tripped over her own feet, fell into a chair and bit a huge chunk out of her bottom lip. 

I called our neighbor to watch Gretchen, and then I called a good friend to see what the best ER would be to take Megan to. She let me know that her husband, a nurse & fireman, was working at the fire station by our house, and suggested that we take her there first so he could get a look. He and the other ER nurse that was on call at the station, said that it wouldn't be worth it to take her in. The anesthesia to put her to sleep for just one stitch wouldn't be worth it, since she didn't bite through her lip. Plus, Megan was already FREAKING OUT, so we decided to take her home, and give her a popsicle to help numb her lip.
She later fell asleep on the couch around 6 pm, so Gretchen and I finally went to Target. Megan was still asleep when we got home, and woke up right around bedtime. I know that's good timing on our part. So, she stayed up and watched a movie with DJ and me.
This is her at 10:30 when the movie was finally over and she finally went to bed. 

When we woke up on Sunday, it was snowing and sleeting, so we stayed home from church. We watched Brave and Peter Pan, and then I turned on cheerleading.
Naturally, Gretchen decided she wanted to be a cheerleader, so she went upstairs and put on her bathing suit, and grabbed her pom poms. I know, don't all cheerleaders cheer in their swimsuits. 

Despite the snow, DJ took the big girls to the TU basketball game and I got to hang out with this cutie:
Scroll back above and you may just notice that she's wearing the same pajamas as she was on Friday night. And, I assure you, I didn't do laundry. Just keeping it real y'all. 

Okay, so here's the office re-do: 
We moved his desk over in the corner, switched a few tables around, moved a bookcase, and hung his 49ers helmet on the wall with his 49ers pictures. 
We also organized the filing cabinets, but that's boring, and we re-organized his football memorabilia on the bookcase. 

I hope your weekend was just as thrilling as mine! Come back tomorrow, because I have a NEW blog post series that is starting and i'm so excited about it!

Date Night Ideas

I'm linking up today with Kelly's Korner and her Show Us Your Life series. Today's topic is "date ideas". DJ and I don't get out on too many dates. Our lives often get wrapped up in the girls, football, and playing catch up on the weekends. But, I know it is so important for us to have time together.  Not only so we can strengthen our marriage, and enjoy the relationship we had before kids, but so we can be better parents to our girls.
It was so much easier to have dates before we had kids! We love eating out and finding new restaurants, and we would do that regularly. We also took vacations and explored new cities. Saturday's were easily spent exploring the towns that we moved to (Ruston, La. and Muncie, In) and the surrounding areas, and we even took a vacation to Gatlinburg, TN the summer I was pregnant with Gretchen. We could travel and not rush to get where we were going because of meal times, potty breaks, and schedules! 

On this particular trip, we decided to take detours and explored Louisville, KY and also found the original KFC. I loved our drives, because that's how we got to know each other best.

Now that we are married with two girls and one on the way, our dress up date nights are very rare! We definitely make it a priority to get out on our anniversary. But, most of our other dates, involve football and donor events. Thankfully, those at least get us a good meal!

Last year for our anniversary, I gave DJ a letter explaining that we would make it a priority to have a monthly date night. We tried, but I have to admit we weren't successful. I originally found the idea on Pinterest, and you're suppose to gift 12 envelopes with pre-paid dates inside. Then, you won't have an excuse if you don't have the funds! Maybe, I'll get a head start and do that for our 8th anniversary in December!

One of our favorite ways to date right now, is to meet for lunch. Last year, I had an amazing schedule, and we would meet for lunch several days a week and explore new restaurants around Tulsa. This past year, we've only been able to meet once or twice a month for lunch, but at least the girls are already in daycare, and we don't have the excuse of paying extra funds for a baby sitter.
DJ and I also try to have movie nights a few times a month. We either watch one that we already have at home, or pick up a new movie from Redbox. 

Even though we don't get out often, I appreciate the times that we spend together. We always have tons of fun and love exploring the towns we've lived in together. 

We take advantage of the times when we're visiting family, and try to get out to do something by ourselves, whether its a trip to Wal-Mart or a movie or out to eat. Just getting some time away is so important!

What's your favorite date night idea?

Day 2, 3, & Surprise Date Night!

The girls have been at my mom's since Sunday, and DJ and I have enjoyed a few days by ourselves. I wish that I could say I had time to clean house, put things away, work on bows, and get a lot accomplished, but I didn't. I was so busy with work and running around trying to get last minute kids seen, paperwork completed, and meetings scheduled. I was exhausted Monday afternoon, and I got home and did nothing.

While I did miss my girls, it was nice to only get myself dressed and fed and out the door in the mornings!

After my meeting Tuesday afternoon, I went shopping to buy new work clothes. I'm starting a job on Monday with Union schools, which has all happened very last minute over the last two weeks!

While I was shopping Tuesday, DJ told me to go home and pack us an overnight bag. He got us a hotel room, and we met and had dinner. I was a little irked to be away from the house, because there was so much I wanted to do, but it was also nice to not worry about getting things done, and cleaning up after myself this morning!

This afternoon I met my parents and picked up the girls, and boy did I miss them! I was so excited to see them and bring them home! G must've also missed home because she's been pretty well behaved tonight and even came inside when I asked! MC on the other hand, got used to sleeping in the pac n play and she's having a little bit of a hard time falling asleep. Poor thing won't let us rock her, she'd rather just talk to us!

I'm looking forward to spending one last stay home day with them before a day long meeting on Friday and starting to school on Monday!

So, here's how I've done with my diet the last two days:

Yesterday was day 2 of my new diet. Here's how I did:
Breakfast: Protein Drink (milk & whey protein)
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Salad from Chick Fil A, no croutons, 1 package of light italian dressing, water
Afternoon Snack: Protein Drink (milk, whey protein, 1 tbsp. peanut butter)
Dinner: 1 roll, Steak, and a few bites of Au Gratin Potatoes, and asparagus with a glass of wine. (I was really looking forward to yogurt, but since DJ surprised me with a night out, this was my meal.)

Day 3:
Breakfast: Jamba Juice Smoothie with orange, banana, and strawberry, and a scoop of whey protein powder.
Lunch: Salad with italian dressing, water
Snack: Sugar free slice of apple pie with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (I would not have gotten this, but we met my parents at Cracker Barrel, and I had already had lunch.)
Dinner: Protein Drink (milk, whey protein, 1 tbsp. peanut butter)
