This Weekend in Photos (Image Heavy!)

Holy crap what a weekend! About twice a year we take our friend's two daughters for the weekend.  It is always so much fun but exhausting.  This time a round felt different. I have been talking to Bradley lately about this weird switch I have been feeling emotionally and mentally. The urge to hang out with my friends all night has vanished.  The last few times I have I felt guilty the next day.  Now this doesn't mean that I don't love my friends and want to see them but I really feel like my priorities are changing.  So now (Sunday evening) after the two wee ones have gone home I miss them.  I am exhausted but I miss the noise and the laughter.  I guess this just means I am ready for a family... dun dun dun!!!

I love this picture.  I picked them up from school on Friday and took them shopping for a baby shower we went to yesterday.

The cats are not used to kids.  I found Olympia in the dryer


Bradley was so good with the girls.  He tucked them in and read to them each night.


Pit stop at Home Depot


We ended the weekend at a friend's BBQ.  I couldn't get enough of her new born twins.


Sweet Nola.

Damn You, Ben

Awwww...  Isn't he cute? This would be Ben my favorite little guy and one of my best friend's son.   Last Saturday the ladies and I made pizza, drank wine, broke some glasses, and walked to the neighborhood bar.  This little pipsqueak was hanging out for the first hour of the night and I should have listened when Rachel walked in a said "His nose has been running all day" but I didn't.  When we were making pizza he was hungry and I had a fuzzy warm flashback of being little and my aunt putting olives on my fingers. Ahhh...Sweet memories.  So I put olives on his fingers and watched in delight as he ate them and then fed one or two to me.  Fast forward to Monday and my nose has been running all day.  I wake up Tuesday and I am wicked sick till today which has been my 3rd day off of work.  I still don't feel great but I managed to drag myself to Target to get some more dayquil and I might have bought a dress.  Everyone that was at dinner Saturday has the same cold.   

So Dear Ben,  You are cute.  You are super germy.  And you taught me never to eat olives off of little kids fingers.  Loooooove,  Sara
