Mar11 Our Weekend Link Up Party! 2013
1./ new pet. aunt mindy, as we’ve dubbed her, asked me if she could buy the schooners a pet fish to love on. ”something to fill up their need for a dog till you’re ready,” or something along those lines. while i was at work on saturday, she came and picked up the girls for a chick fil a lunch and pet store visit. oh how it warmed my heart and oh how they loved getting their pet needs filled. so meet charlie!!! our new addition to the family. thank you, mindy for loving on our kiddos like they are your own. we love you!!!
2./goldfish. we celebrated the fish’s new arrival by splurging on goldfish cracker snacks. they’re a big treat around here and i have found why we don’t normally buy them: we go through one of those $7 big boxes in about a day and a half. does anybody understand my life over here?! insane.
3./office job. i have logged in many the hours over this weekend working on the bloom catalog project i am photographing. i feel so blessed that i get to do a lot of the work from my own home in the wee morning hours when the house is quiet and full of sleeping babies. really really blessed…
4./consignment. i hit up the JBF consignment sale with high hopes of grabbing as many good deals as last year…but i found everything to be really picked through and not a lot of content going on over there. it was worth the trip just for scoring a pair of sandals for keller’s chubby feet this summer {SO difficult to find shoes for that mini man.} and i also found a few summer clothes and a pottery barn alphabet puzzle for the girls/dino set for keller. not bad, not bad.
5./giveaway. photographed the next sparkly giveaway going on at A & C. it’ll be offered through bridget at tales of me and the husband so stay tuned! i’m sponsoring over there this month and you must….absolutely must…go say a hello. and read her love story while you’re at it. no better one {other than my own} i’m telling you.
6./family dinner. we hardly ever go out for a full sit-down meal as a family. mostly to save money, but partly because eating mexican chips + queso and guacamole is way sexier in bed watching a movie than wrangling 3 hungry kiddos in a public setting with everyone watching your every move. but i was coming home from work at dinnertime and it was rainy and steven and i were both starving and i don’t know. one thing led to the other and we wound up at chimi’s. with three schooners in tow. and it was nice. and they were mostly good.
7./reading material. we made a trip to the library to return our stuff and pick up some new stuff. i went to return our dvd’s and realized out of 5 cases, i only had 2 cd’s. that’s a productive moment right there. but did you know they let you borrow up to 10 now on one card?! maybe i’m showing my age, but does anyone remember when it was just 3? liberties these days…
8./shades of brown. not to be confused with fifty shades of gray. emily and i planned a special coffee date on brookside…a place i’ve been wanting to try for a long time. she talked me into getting a hot coffee on a 40-degree day and i talked her into thinking sun dried tomato quiche was indeed just right for rainy day souls. ;-) and then we talked about more important things and i was glad all over again that we were friends…
9./ethos. my church. can’t get enough of you. we sang this song at the beginning of the service and i told God i was okay with singing that on repeat in heaven. and i also asked him if i could have a voice like kaitlyn to go with it.
and…the time change snuck up on me this weekend…how about you? long days, dark mornings, sunlit evenings. all spells recipe for success in my book and i love it.
so how was your weekend??? you wanna link up with your photos too?! perfect. i would love to have you. here’s the skinny…
:: link up to anything weekend related. a photo. a diagrammed map of the places you went. a recap. a photo grid…the weekend sky is the limit!
:: don’t forget to link to your actual blog post, not just your main page. for example. http://annapolisandcompany.com/2013/01/its-the-weekend-are-you-ready-to-partay/

It struck me last night that I once again forgot to snap weekend pictures for this. I think this link-up is going to be the driving force for me to finally start the blog I’ve been talking about forever. Even if its just to preserve my own memories, I know it’ll be well worth it :)
Cynthia!!! I would love it if you blogged! And I would love it if you joined in to Our Weekends. :) Do it, do it, do it…..
Lovely! God has given you a gift in how you’re able to fit in so much with your days. Me? yeah, I like my sleep way too much ;)
Oh no, Susanna! I’m just a little insane I think. And YOU’RE the one who is training for a half marathon. Something I’ve given up on twice now due to “no time”. I saw your 10 mile accomplishment!!! So exciting!!!!
We have a slight obsession with Goldfish crackers as well. It’s insane how good they are! ;)
It’s gotta be the salt! Because we have no self control over here. :)
Mary Beth!!! I won’t be doing Snapshot Saturday anymore! :( I’ve linked up the last one! (I’m going to start a family blog so most of the snapshots will just go on there). I will try and do a weekend recap as much as possible on The Active Mum though as I love linking up with you!! Xx
Awww…I will miss it, Aanika!!! I completely understand though. Will your family blog be public??? Let me know because I want to follow you!
