Wonderful Weekend (image heavy)

Oh, Sunday. Today is one of my most favorite days of the week and this one was definitely a good one. The entire weekend was actually pretty perfect, and I needed it, as I've been feeling a little off these past few days. My friend Adie always says that life has an ebb and a flow to it, and she's totally right- and a lot of the time my ebb and flow is a little too up and down for my taste, but I guess that's life. I've just felt a little down lately, a little sad, and a little "something" I can't quite put my finger on. I think this can be attributed to Henry's new wakeful period he's been going through, and rather than sleeping through the night like he has for months, he's been waking up a few times during the night. I'm thinking this is from teething, and I hope the poor little guy settles down soon, I feel terrible for him. And as for me, I'm tired, and that just kind of snowballs as each sleepless night goes by. Part of the problem was that I was going to bed at midnight or 1am, sleeping fitfully right along with Henry (waking to feed him), and then ultimately getting up around 6:30am. That is not conducive to a happy mama! So now, I'm forcing myself to go to bed at 10pm, and that way, at least I get a lot more sleep collectively. I already feel better so I think it's helping. I'm definitely going to continue the 10pm bedtime this week.

So other than my weird moods, things are really, really good. In my mind spring is short- summer is already on its way in and I can't wait. This weekend sure felt like summer up here in Prescott, and the weather was absolutely beautiful last night during our evening downtown. My parents were in town, so we did our normal dinner routine: Bill's pizza for salads and pizza, and a nice stroll around the square. The temperature was in the 70s and Henry was the happiest baby- he loves being outside. We also celebrated an early Easter, and my Mom made Henry the sweetest basket. Holidays are just so much fun with kiddos around!

This morning we woke up and went to brunch at the Dinner Bell, then came home and relaxed for awhile. Later in the day I went to the gym, and a combination of being outside and some hard cardio seemed to snap me out of the funk I've been in. I'm looking forward to having a really positive week and getting a lot accomplished. Some of the things I'm looking forward to: our new family room curtains arriving from Anthro, a hair appointment with Rhonda, and spending some time with some lovely ladies. So- here's to a great week!

Here are some photos from the past few days:

I mentioned before that Erin and her son Kyler came up Thursday. We had the best night hanging out, talking, and laughing. I've talked about Erin a lot on this blog, but we've been close friends since college where we met in our freshman dorm, and then ended up rushing the same sorority. We've had a lifetime of memories made together (11 years of friendship!), and when we got pregnant two months apart it was amazing to go through that experience together. She's the best!

cheers to 11 years of friendship!

my new Cathrineholm bowl, THANK YOU MOM! :)

Hank cooking dinner tonight- he made the most amazing homemade sauce chock full of fresh veggies, accompanied with "chicken" and spaghetti. He is such an amazing chef and I so wish he would just start blogging all of the vegan meals he creates. Maybe one day!

Have a great weekend everyone! xo

Our Weekend in Photos

My parents arrived Saturday night and Henry was so happy to see his grandparents! They live a couple of hours away, so it's always so nice when they come and visit. Luckily we see each other a few times a month, but I still wish we all lived in the same place.

We ordered pizza from our favorite place- Bill's! It's absolutely delicious.  We get a regular cheese with Bill's sauce, which is a mix of tomato and pesto sauce. Have you ever tried a pizza like that?  It's to die for.  Probably pretty bad for you, but fun for a treat every now and then.

So we all went to sleep with full bellies and woke up the next morning ready for breakfast!  I of course made everyone take a photobooth photo. :)

We went to brunch at Iron Springs Cafe, a little restaurant in town. It's really, really good and serves amazing, from-scratch food. I usually get the poached eggs and an English muffin, and even though that's kind of a boring, simple meal it's always delicious in all of its simplicity. At the end of our meal our server brought us out a little sample of their homemade peach cobbler and I kinda, sorta died. I'm thinking a dessert date there is in our future, and hopefully sooner than later!

Our original plan was to go antique shopping, but football was starting soon so everyone wanted to get home so we elected to skip it.  We randomly stopped by a thrift store on the way home, which is an extremely rare occurence for me. As much as I want to love hunting for little treasures (everyone always seems to find such cute stuff!), I just can't get into it.  I did give it a go though, and for the millionth time in my life, didn't like it.  Adie is going to take me soon though, so hopefully she can be my experienced guide and maybe I'll find some neat stuff.  Oh, and disregard my "I gotta pee" pose (what was I thinking?!) and focus on the fact that I was thrifting. haha. That's the important thing. And the only other photo I took there was of Henry's little, tiny darling thumb.  So cute.

The Hour of the Wolf mugs from their last full-US tour out to The Fest in Florida and back. We snapped a quick little shot of the two different styles side by side.

Once we got home from our outing my Dad and Hank got to work on some projects around the house, including this one- putting together our wall of bookshelves in the front living room/library.  Tomorrow Hank is going to attach them to the wall and then we'll be set!  I love them.

I brought this headband out of hibernation today- if you're curious it's from Anthropologie, last year.

This is his "pout face." It's the cutest thing in the world!

So we had a great weekend! I'm already looking forward to next weekend too- I'll be shopping for bridesmaids dresses with a bunch of my girlfriends. I mentioned it before but one of my best friends Shirley is getting married. I'm so excited to be a part of it, and the whole event is going to be amazing, knowing Shirley and Nate. I also need to find a bridesmaids dress for my sister's wedding which is already coming up next month!  I feel so happy that Lauren is about to marry the love of her life- her and Abe have known each other since they were in middle school so it's even more awesome.  Their wedding is going to be beautiful and I feel so special being the matron-of-honor. Can't wait.

Well, I'm off to start winding down for bed...Henry's asleep already so I'm going to sneak in some reading and cuddle time with Hank. I hope whatever your weekend had in store for you it was wonderful! Have a good start to your week tomorrow.
