~4th of July Weekend Wrap-up~

Time always seems to fly by when you don't want it to.  I really did not want to see this weekend come to an end and I am NOT looking forward to going back to work.  But enough about that.  Let me just fill you guys in on my weekend. 

With me trying to get this baby to flip before the 13th, my goal this weekend was to relax.  And I did...and also found time to have fun with some good friends.  I also can't thank my hubby enough for being such a good sport with me.  He's been waiting on me hand and foot and putting up with my pregnancy woes, complaints, etc.  His patience and understanding truly amazes me, because if I were him and looking at how I've been acting, I probably would have given up by now :)  Anyway, I digress. 

Let's start with FRIDAY:

Went to a matinee showing of Eclipse with Malu and my friend Jennifer....and LOVED it.  Malu recently became interested in the movie after I told him that some of my friends think he looks like Jacob.  Since then, he'd watched New Moon and memorized all of Jacob's lines (mostly making fun of how cheesy his lines were).  So he was happy to tag along to the movie.  Or at least I think he was.  Do you guys see any resemblance?  Maybe it's just their hair and skin color, or their eyes.  Who knows.

With Malu home, it's been easier to do a lot of home cooking.  But we wanted to make Friday nice and simple.  So, to go with all the movies we rented, we whipped up a homemade Hawaiian pizza, complete with fresh pineapple!  Malu gets a kick out of me taking pictures of all the food we prepare...so here he is being silly :)

Saturday

This was pretty much our errand day.  We took our old car to get inspected and oil changed.

Went to the commissary for groceries.

Spent a ton on clothes for Malu, which he desperately needs.  A lot of his clothes are still packed in boxes in the garage since our bedroom closet is so teeny.  And he's not a big clothes guy anyway.  He'll make big purchases for clothes literally every other year and wear the shirts he has until they have holes in them.

And picked up our Lucy girl from the groomer.  We had her hair trimmed down just to help cool her off and I think she now looks like an adorable Akita, maybe even a Rottie, even though she is a German Shepherd mix. 

Closed the evening out with dinner at Red Lobster since I had worked up a craving watching scallops being made on the Food Networked.  I bugged him the entire afternoon about wanted steak and seafood.  It didn't take long for him to cave in.

Sunday

Enjoyed a lovely 4th of July show at the Abundant Living Faith Center church.

Went to the Finch's House for their 4th of July Celebration.  Here's Maddie decorating one of the many cakes we had on-hand.

And we ate...

and ate some more...

...and had a blast with our friends.  Of course, we didn't forget to take our signature "chick" pic!  Love ya ladies!

Monday

Today, we slept in until 11:00 a.m.!  I haven't done that in ages.

And we pretty much stayed home all day and I watched a bunch of Real Housewives of New Jersey episodes--which Malu is starting to get addicted to as well (even though he won't admit it in public). 

I dread going back to work tomorrow.  But it shouldn't be bad considering the entire brigade is on block leave! Yay! Quiet office!

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed your weekends as much as I did!

Have a terrific and blessed week!
