After much thought...actually not really, we decided to make it a kid free party. We all needed a break and I could think of nothing my hubby likely needed more than a carefree weekend, with no kids and responsibility. If I haven't mentioned, Lance commutes to Spring EVERYDAY and works 6:30am-4:30pm and drives over an hour each way, poor guy! Anyway, we decided to have a grown up pool party. After all my mommy friends forgave me for making them wear a swimsuit, we had the BEST time!! The guys left at 1pm for a brewery tour and Betho and I got the food and yummy beverages ready while they were gone. They got back around 3 and all the ladies came around 4 after getting babysitters squared away.
We ate, and swam, and ran around the pool like crazy college kids ALL afternoon! I mean, it really was so much fun! No kids, no responsibility, just water and sun and food and drinks. Once the sun set we pulled back out the food and tres leches and sipped the last bit of peach tea and mojitos in the hot tub and all finally called it a day around 11pm. Lance and I then headed home to an empty house (my mom had all 4 grand kids!) and were able to sleep until 9:30am! However, we were both up at 6:15 desperately trying to go back to sleep, but after getting up at 6am everyday for a year, your body rebels against sleeping in I guess! But we stayed in bed nonetheless and then headed down the street to my moms house to gather our little angels, who have pink eye, so we skipped church and took them home and had a nice morning together. Then later that afternoon, we went back to the Girods to have leftovers for dinner and watch the birthday footage. I forgot to mention that Cody, my brother in law, had a camera attached to his head (forgot what it was called) and was able to document practically the whole party. We watched it with the kids and they thought it was hilarious to watch the guys jump off the slide into the pool and loved pointing out everyone. Max would jump to his feet and laugh hysterically at all his family members and their friends acting silly at the pool. It was cute!
Today we enjoyed the holiday and had a rare weekday that Lance was with us for the whole day!! We spent most of the day playing on our front porch watching the rain, the girls loved it, and just enjoyed having nothing to do. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am in a wedding Saturday and I got a call that my dress was damaged and couldn't be shipped so I set out to find a Blush, floor length dress Sunday and it was quite difficult. I ended up buying a dress that was WAY too small (let's pretend that too small size isn't 2 sizes bigger than my post preggo size) and just hoped it would work as it was literally like the only one that worked based on color!! The store wouldn't take it out and I finally found a tailor today that was willing to cut fabric off the bottom and use it to add fabric to the side. Thank goodness, because when I exhaled in the dressing room the hook & eye busted off and flew across the room! Not a joke! And last night after I got it home it took Lance 5 straight minutes to get it zipped and I couldn't bend over to try my shoes on once I was in the dress! Heavens! But all is well and by Saturday I will be in a perfectly fitted blush dress!
Well, I guess that sums up the weekend. It was great!
Happy short week to all!!
And I know the picture is upside down but I can't get it to delete. It's the girls playing on the porch. They played out there for hours!!
The girls making their "twin face" I kinda think they look alike here!
Here is the notorious dress after I was poured into it and not really breathing...I was wearing a hat with no makeup & wet hair so my head simply could not be in the shot. But although I'm a bit more curvy, ok a lot more curvy, than I once was I'm happy with my last minute purchase!!
