What we did this weekend:
We're very low-key "weekenders" around here, but that's exactly the way I like it! For the past several Saturdays though, I've had really nice "lady parties" to attend, from Britt's shower last weekend to Julie's Blessed be the Name party this weekend. I LOVE to do girly stuff like that! I took a few pictures from Julie's on Saturday to share with you, the BBTN clothes were so unbelievably cute, plus this way you can get a peek at Julie's lovely home ;)
I loved everything, and it was so hard to decide what to buy! I eventually went back to my first choice though, and chose the outfit that I loved first from the catalog. This party was right up my alley, I left inspired to go home and do some designing and embroidery of my own!
Meanwhile, Emily was baby sitting for the girls back at our house. Evie had been to watch Emily cheer lead at a basketball game earlier in the day, so by the time I got home she had developed a new fascination with all things "cheerleader" - that is a post all it's own though, I'll have to take some pictures and put them up soon!
In the evening, I started our "get ready for church routine", which I typically start as early as I can on Saturday. Getting us to church Sunday morning takes a lot of planning on my part - bath time, ironing dresses, digging for nice socks, picking hair bows, packing diaper bags, packing breakfast for the car - and that's all just for the girl's! Whew! 
I snapped a few pics of Annie during bath time - she's so sweet! I finally finished all of the church prep, put the girlies to bed, and had just sat down to watch a little TV when... Evie woke up sick. Coughing, sneezing, crying - yikes! We just cannot get well around here lately! Needless to say, we didn't make it to church Sunday morning.
So Ben and I ended up using most of Sunday to attempt to FINISH OUR KITCHEN! A project we started about a year ago... it never ends! I've been collecting furniture for the kitchen since this summer, so here is a little sneak peek pic taken one morning after breakfast - I'll share better pics and details with you in the "grand reveal", if we ever finish that is! There is not much left to do , just little stuff really - paint trim, put in new outlets, hang lighting - it just takes forever with Evie and Anabelle underfoot all the time! Ben spent most of yesterday afternoon nailing down quarter round, but we of course took a break to watch the Super Bowl! My parents came over and my mom made lots of great "football food", it was a great wrap to a nice weekend. Shopping, projects, and football - not too shabby of a weekend if you ask me, I just wish Evie was not sick! I hope all of you had a nice weekend too, and by the way... Happy Monday!
