The weeks are beginning to feel a bit more weekend like with warmer longer days. I have been eating fro-yo like a maniac and have gone to yoforia almost every day this week! We went Wednesday and then went out for a beautiful long walk around the Myers Park area followed by a dinner outside at Mellow Mushroom.

I feel like Thursday is really the kick off to the weekend. We went to see Daddy coach baseball and he is always good to love on his babies after the games! Too bad HT lost but it was an exciting game!
I got to meet the Londry twins on Friday afternoon. They are beautiful and amazing. Seantel is doing a fabulous job mothering these two. I got to hold sweet Ellie and I could not get over how tiny she was! Emma Cate was the exact same size but I couldn't even remember my baby ever being so tiny. They are just the sweetest things!
Jay and I arrived home around the same time and he took over baby duty while I ran to the nursery with my mom to get some spring plants. I have NO clue what plants to get so she was kind enough to help me out. We got phlox to go around my main beds and torenias to go in the beds. I'll have to take some pictures!
The weather was so nice, my Dad was in town and my sister wasn't working so my mom planned a little dinner for everyone. I tried and tried to get a sitter (I seriously called 13 people) with no luck. Fortunately, Jay was sleepy and decided not to go out so we hung out at home while I enjoyed dinner with my parents and sister a hickory tavern.
We were up early Saturday morning with some LOUD babies! We hung around the house and tried to tidy up a bit. Jay cut the grass and I'm proud to say our grass is finally growing in and looking good (such a grownup/homeowner thing to say)... We had our chuch directory pictures on Saturday afternoon and threw a bit of a kink in our plans. The pictures went well and both babies behaved but unfortunately I forgot to wear mascara and lipgloss and look like I am dead. We went for more fro-yo after the pictures (I even have Jay addicted).
We decided to try for a babysitter again and lucked up this time! We took the kids for a long walk around the neighborhood to try and tire them out for the sitter but no luck. At 7pm they were wide awake screaming in their cribs. We kissed them goodnight and were off!
We went to watch the Criterium bicycle race in uptown Charlotte. I got sick watching the bikes zoom in front of us (I also get motion sick on waterbeds... who has a waterbed anymore...)
just because...
racers
We watched the race for a bit then headed to dinner a Ri-Ra. We were wanted to eat outside so we picked Ri Ra's. Bad choice. Love their brunch but dinner was kinda yucky. During dinner I got several texts that Emma Cate was still awake. The sitter had gotten her out of bed, changed her diaper, and was cuddling on the couch in just her onesie bc the sitter didn't think she liked her pjs. I learned to let a lot go by this little encounter. #1 they sleep in a special diaper that holds more "moisture" and I was nervous what I would find the next morning since she was now sleeping in a normal diaper... #2 she was probably freezing in her onesie and it would be super fun putting her back in footed jammies when we got home and then putting her in the crib for the night... #3 someone was taking care of my child and doing the absolute best they could. Was it what I would have done... no, but was my child loved and cared for? Absolutely.
We had a nice church service and met my dad and sister at Zada Jane's for breakfast afterwards. The babies did pretty well at brunch and enjoyed strawberry pancakes and scrambled eggs.
We went home and took naps and did some planting. Emma Cate hung outside with me while I planted and Holden took a trip to Lowe's with Daddy. We headed over to Gigi and Pop Pops for Sunday dinner and Gigi and I took the babies on a LONG walk while Daddy and Pop Pops watched the masters. The babies LOVE exploring new places and while normally their in Gigi's super kid friendly fun basement, this time they were allowed upstairs and had a ball pulling up on all her furniture.
