Our weekend...

Last weekend was nice, relaxing, and pretty uneventful. Friday night was the most fun part...we had our Sunday School game night at church. We played the Newlywed Game...always fun...and always a great way to get to know couples who are new to our class. The church provided childcare, so Avie had a BLAST playing with the other kids in the children's building. Our church just added on a new children's building and it's like a serious jungle gym/amusement park/Chuck E. Cheese all put together. (ok, maybe not the amusement park part). Every Sunday, the kids classes take turns playing after they do their Sunday School lesson. So instead of getting a babysitter or asking one of our moms to keep Avie we just decided that we would let her have a fun Sunday School night too! She kept saying "I wanna go to the party too!". I got home and had a phone date with my cousin, Holly...til MIDNIGHT. We talk often (a couple of times a week), but only extended 2+ hour conversations happen about once every 4-6 months.

I woke up the next morning with a headache...a grinding-my-teeth headache. I can always tell if it's sinus, grinding my teeth, or tension. Yuck. Exedrin Migraine didn't do the trick, Tylenol didn't do the trick, nothing worked. But...I decided not to let it ruin my day. I was lazy til about 3...then we headed to town to go to Academy, Target, and dinner. Headaches zap me completely. It's exhausting. But I had a wonderful day just being with the 2 loves of my life...regardless of a headache. (fyi: I had a headache everyday when I was pregnant...I had to see a migraine specialist and eventually started taking Propranolol everyday...never had another headache while I was pregnant. *just in case any of you readers are pregnant and having headaches* Can you tell I hate headaches? Forgive me for ranting.)

Here are my two preciouses. We went to eat at El Sombrero...the BEST Mexican place ever. We just got it a few months ago. They have one in Vicksburg and I go there every time I go to the outlet mall over there. I LOVE it...so imagine my thrilled-ness when they opened one in West Monroe.

My child doesn't sit in a highchair nor a booster anymore. She thinks she is grown and needs no assistance.

(check out my hubs' sunglasses lines...that he got while he WON FIRST PLACE IN HIS FISHING TOURNAMENT!!)

Sunday after church we decided to head to Ruston to see Nana and Pops. We were craving fried chicken and called my parents to see if they felt like company. Mom said "YES!!! And hurry! Dad's about to go get some chicken." Talk about great minds thinking alike! haha. Nana's been sick for the past 2 and a half weeks. Yeah, flu/bronchitis...she can't get rid of it. We haven't seen much of her lately so we headed over. She hasn't been contagious for a while but she just doesn't feel good and she's weak. I think a dose of Avie helped her though!

She even felt like baking homemade chocolate chip cookies!

(Avie is sitting there like a big girl eating hers.)

Surely this coming weekend, I will be more productive and headache-less! Nonna invited Avie to spend the night Friday...so Chad and I have datenight! He has another fishing tournament Saturday and I plan on sewing for Avie and maybe going shopping! Tokyo is on the menu for Saturday night...Avie's first time!

Hope you've had a great week and a Happy Friday tomorrow!!!
