Yet another busy weekend in the books. Summertime is always
a busy time for me – great weather, cookouts, birthday parties, and family time
is plentiful during the summer months. This weekend, as usual, was no
exception.
Friday
Starlight Drive-In |
My son and his BFF |
Friday was a busy day on the work front. I had quite a bit
of things I needed to get done before the evening festivities. I may have
mentioned that my son has a summer wish list of all things he wants to do this
summer. One of those things was the drive-in movies so mama made that happen.
My girlfriends and I got together with our boys, packed up tons of food, lawn chairs and OFF and set out for the drive-in movies. We had a blast! The weather
was perfect and the boys had a great time. My little cousin, GG, was visiting
and came along. Despite being the only girl amongst our 4 8-year olds, she held
her own and had fun. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean, but honestly, I can’t
tell you what happened during the movie. Between chasing my two-year old around
the parking lot, fulfilling juice box requests and sipping on mommy juice (aka
wine), I haven’t a clue what happened. I guess I know what our next date night
will be all about. We made it home about 11:30pm (we all refused to stay for
the second movie LOL), the kids were wide awake and kept the party going.
Somewhere around 2:30am (!!), they passed out and so did I.
Saturday
Saturday was chocked full of plans but didn’t even happen.
We had movies, a birthday party/water party, and shopping to do and we did
ABSOLUTELY NONE OF IT. I was still recovering from the night before and my
husband (bless his heart) got up early with all the kids while I slept-in until
10:30 (which hardly ever happens). After I shook off the sleep, it was time to
shower, get the kids showered and dressed and get our day started. By the time I
got everything taken care of, we pretty much missed everything from the day and
my two-year old went down for his nap late. So, I took the older ones with me
to the store and dropped by my parents’ house for an impromptu cookout and
family hangout. My cousins and uncles and aunts were hanging out in the
backyard and the kids wanted to play so we stayed. I think we rolled in again
close to 11:00pm (are you noticing a trend?) and went straight to bed…but not
before my husband and I indulged in some Talenti Gelato once the kids were
sleep. OMG! It was so good.
Sunday
I woke up bright and early Sunday morning to get ready for
the Fit While Brown Summer Slay event. My friend and personal trainer, Moniek
Richardson of Fit While Brown, does an annual event where she brings in vendors
and guests from all walks of life to talk about everything all natural and
healthy. There was a chef, all natural shea butter products, a makeup artist
and of course me to talk about natural hair. It was a great event with a good
turnout. I spent some time talking to folks afterwards before heading home to
rest and meal plan for the rest of the day.
