Weekend Recap {9.18.17}

Here we are at Monday again! I actually welcomed today because it meant that yesterday was over with - phew what a day it was. The kids acted like monsters pretty much all day (sorry kids, still love you) and it was extremely emotionally draining. I yelled more than I care to admit and I am just glad to start fresh today.


Our weekend was a good one though (despite yesterdays antics)

Friday night we went to our towns Family Fun night and we met our friends there - the kids had a lot of fun running around!  Afterwards we came to our house to hang out for a little while the kids played.

 



Saturday morning was baseball & dance then we headed apple picking! I love this little tradition and the kids seem to too which is always good! Usually the temps are pretty good when we go but this year it was HOT! We still managed to have fun and came home with LOTS of yummy apples


 

 


 

 They had a wagon laying around and Brayden was being a super nice big brother pulling his sisters around - they were loving it!



Saturday night Brayden went by my Moms to hang out and the rest of us went out to eat. Later at night the hubs headed out to watch the fight with his friends. I stayed up crafting Ella's costume for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party we're going to while in Disney and watching Dateline (big mistake because then I freaked myself out to fall asleep without the hubby being home, you think I would learn by now!)

Sunday we had a lazy morning then had to get ready for family pics - this is where the day just went to sh*t. Brayden was complaining about his outfit and throwing major fits, when we got to the place to take the pics, Ella started crying because I took this giant piece of paper she was holding away and Avery was being, well, Avery.  You guys I could have used about 5 drinks during these pics haha!

After the pics the day just continued on like that with the kids and they wore us thin. We tried to get the bigs to play alone for a while and they would, then they would fight, this was all.damn.day. Bedtime couldn't come fast enough! Once they were asleep I finally just kicked back and relaxed with a glass of wine and watched some more Dateline #obsessed #itsaproblem


So yeah, there you have it, our mostly good fun filled weekend! How was yours?

  1. Oh my goodness family pictures are just stressful. I think I am going to just take a selfie and call it good this year...but I do love them when the memory of the actual moment fades ;). Solidarity with you sweet momma! xoxo ERIN

  4. Sorry about yesterday! I can't wait to see your pictures though. We need family pictures soon. How fun to be in Disney at Halloween time. I have heard it is one of the best times to go. Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend other than the fighting yesterday, sorry Mama! Today is a new day!

  5. Sometimes you just need a fresh start with a Monday (even though Mondays can be hard). Hoping this week shapes up a little better than Sunday (and that you got some good shots on Sunday despite all of the antics haha)

  7. Man we all have those days where we wonder where our precious babies went to. Glad the rest of your week went well and I hope Monday is off to a good start.

  8. I completely understand those draining days. They are so tough but thankfully we can start each day new. I love all of the apple picking pictures! We can't wait to go. I know what it's like trying to take family pictures too, it never goes how it plays out in my head. The one year we had pictures with A crying and trying to run away from us the whole time. We ended up laughing about it after and they are still some of my favorite pictures. I hope today is going better for you <3 Beautifully Candid

  9. Ugh, sorry the kids were monsters for you. We all know how those days go! I'm so jealous of your apple picking! We are planning to go when we go to the mountains this year, but we will be getting there at the tail end of the season so I'm hoping that there will be enough apples left! I hope you have a better day today!

  10. Family pictures--seriously the crux of many family dramatics!! But at least they are over and hopefully you can adorn your walls with how precious your family is despite the behind the scenes! ;) Hope you have a great week!

  12. I think I'm going to take CJ apple picking on night this week while James is out of town. It's supposed to be mid 80's so we need to soak up all the extra sun we can!
