Friday Nothings

I love blogging on Fridays because it feels almost like a review day at school.  No pressure.  Nothing heavy.  Just hanging with friends, chatting about nothing.

Date night was a huge success.  Eclipse was fantastic, although I think I could have seen any movie and been thrilled.  Just getting out and about with the hubs like a normal person felt so... well, normal.  It was so rejuvenating to flirt and have fun and talk about things other than the kids for a bit (although we did plenty of kid talking as well).  We goofed off with taking self portraits on hubby's phone while waiting in line, we indulged in ridiculously overpriced hotdogs and nachos and drinks and of course, Sour Patch Kids (the ultimate movie candy).  We came home to a clean house and a sleeping baby.  Perfection.

A date night self-portrait.  Aren't we cute?

Hubby and I never got to really "date" in the traditional sense of the word.  It's another story for another time, the tale of our courtship, but the main bulk of it was that out of the 2 years we dated, we were separated for 18 months by 6,000 miles.  That's really, really far.  Especially when you're in love.  So any moment we get to relive those early dating days is really special and something we cherish.

So, Friday is upon us.  Hubs has the day off (yay!) so lawn work is in order.  This is especially difficult since we are currently being held captive in our house by cicada killer wasps.  Have you ever seen these things?  Crazy big, and crazy scary.  The males are like the body guards for the female and her nest, and they run patrol along our flower bed and are ridiculously aggressive.  The males can't sting, but who really wants a wasp divebombing them while doing lawn work?  Not I!  And not hubby either, apparently.  He is out buying wasp spray as we speak.  I expect a hilarious display of spraying and running by him this afternoon.  All from the safety of my living room of course.  I'm no fool.

In other news, I received another blog award!  


The Cherry on Top Award from Jinnia at jinnialow.com. Thank so much Jinnia!  To receive I need to share 3 things about myself that I love.  This is harder than it sounds!  So here goes:

1.  I love that I'm home with my kids.  As much as I talk about the trials of being a stay at home mom, I know that working outside the home has it's hangups too.  

2.  I love that I'm married to the perfect guy for me.  He brings balance to my life and makes me laugh when I don't feel like it.

3.  I love that at 30-something I still look about 16.  This one is vain, I know!

And now I need to share a current favorite picture.  I snapped this one this morning of Princess #4 and her new favorite pasttime:


And now to pass this award on to 5 fellow blogs:  

Check out these wonderful gals and their blogs soon!

And FINALLY -  please don't forget to head over to Babble and vote for my lovely friend Melissa and her amazing bento blog - Another Lunch.  Sort the list alphabetically for the fastest way to find her and click on the thumbsup to "Like" her!  And DEFINITELY check out her blog.  Lunchtime at our house is tolerable again thanks to her!

That's all folks!  Have a fantastic holiday weekend!

  1. Congrats on your date night, Planet Pink. Those really are special. Also I've seen cicada killers before - they are green and crazy but I do appreciate that they kill cicadas because their buzzing drives me a little insane. Have a fun 4th of July weekend!

  5. Good grief, girlfriend. You and hubs are just too cute.
    I haven't looked 16 since I was 13.

    It's a good thing you are the sweetest thing since Southern tea or I would have half a mind to not like you on principle. ;-)

    Cameron - You're sweet, but I'm so laughing! Did you see where I said I actually got to put makeup on? That means that 95% of the time I'm sporting that frazzled mom look!
