Lakehouse Weekend Wrap-up

Hi friends... It is Tuesday night and I am finally starting to get back in the swing of things...

This past weekend, my sweet husband and good friend Stephanie planned a weekend getaway for several of our friends to our family lake house in Kentucky. We left Thursday morning and didn't get back until dinner time Sunday night. It was a BLAST!... We didn't do anything but spend all day on the lake Friday and Saturday, ate a TON of food, and laughed A LOT. It was a great time!... It was the last of my 30th Birthday celebrations! LOL :-)

I really wish I had some great pictures to share with you, but my camera BLOWS!!!! It drives me crazy EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use it! I could literally throw it against the wall some days because I feel like I miss out on capturing SO MANY wonderful memories because it doesn't take pictures worth a crap... so I have basically nothing to show for my wonderful weekend except a bunch of blurry photos with red eyes... :-( {tear}

The FEW pics that DID manage to turn out, I'll post so I can share SOME of the highlights... :)

Yes... it was a friendship bracelet making extravaganza! LOL ;-)

My husband & Stephanie's husband tried to escape by float at one point... LOL ;-)

Since my husband had been drinking on the boat all day Saturday & refused to build me the bonfire I wanted... I had to take matters into my own hands and ended up making Smores Nachos in the oven!... (You can find the recipe here ... I used regular marshmallows & omitted the caramel sauce)... It was DIVINE!

It took 7 adults and 30 minutes researching on the Internet to find out how to play beer pong! LOL ... Yes most of us went to college, but I guess we slipped through the beer pong cracks because I don't think any of us had played before!... I opted for water instead of beer, but still had a BLAST playing! I put my bottled water in my "My tiara is giving me a headache" koozie ;-) ... My sweet husband on the other hand, took one for the team & played with beer... needless to say, he is still recovering!

On a different note, did y'all watch the VMAs Sunday night?... So I think I was a bit old to still be watching this show, by 5 years, but I was blown away when I saw this...

I LOVED the way Beyonce announced her pregnancy!! She sang her song, rocked it like she normally does, then at the end, unbuttons her jacket & shows the world her baby bump! YOU GO GIRL! That was awesome! :-)

And finally, just want to send my prayers with everyone that was affected by Hurricane Irene this weekend! God Bless you all!

Check back tomorrow for this week's "What I'm Obsessed with (Wednesday)" :)

Nite, nite!

Playing in the Rain & Friendship Bracelets...

Happy Sunday Eve Bloggie friends!...

Well the weekend has past and my predictions from this post were correct... By golly, we hadn't even gotten out of the bed on Saturday morning and ALREADY my wonderful, sweet, loving, (and particularly LOUD) husband & baby girl were already getting on my nerves!... And honestly, I'm sure I got on they're nerves this weekend just as much ;-)

but we had a great weekend overall...

Saturday morning, Hubs went to Lowe's after breakfast to get some of the "to-do's" marked off his list (that have been there for months, I'd like to add!)... I'm happy to report, my garbage disposal is no longer leaking & the guest bathroom toilet handle flushes like a dream... :) God Bless America!

While he was out, me & baby girl had craft day...

This girl LOVES to do "artworks" *as she likes to call it ;-) ... Our newest favorite thing is to cut pretty pictures out of magazines & glue them on paper... I think I had just as much fun doing "artworks" as she did! :)

When "da-da" got home from Lowe's, she was SUPER excited to show him her masterpieces! *too sweet ;-)

Then hubs took baby girl out side to play in the rain...

She HAD A BALL!!!... :-)

As for me, I stayed in the house and watched from the front door window... I was in ratty pajamas & didn't feel like getting dressed or putting a bra on... call me lazy... =) but glad these two crazies had fun!...

I did get a wild hair and decided to make these yummies I saw on Pinterest...

They are frozen chocolate & peanut butter bananas with coconut sprinkles!!! THEY ARE HEAVENLY!! You can find the recipe here... It calls for vegan chocolate chips, but I just used regular... I also put mine on lollipop sticks to make them a bit more easy to eat. =)

Then Saturday night while hubs and I were sitting on the couch cleaning out the DVR, I made a friendship bracelet!... Do you remember those...

Well they're making a comeback & I am over the moon about it!!!

I made a small chevron one in green, pink, navy & white... You can find directions on how to make it here...
I left it on the couch when I was done with it & this morning sweet baby girl snagged it and I have no clue where she put it... I'm sure it'll turn up in THE MOST random place in about 6 months, but no fear, Joann's Fabric Store had this thread on sale (buy 3 get 1 free) so I am FULLY stocked & ready to make a new one... I also plan on making several for my friends... they are friendship bracelets after all! I'm SUPER excited! :)

Well that's all I have for now folks... I'm throwing my bestie, Jana, a party this week so I've got to get busy on that... Stay tuned for pics on that later this week!... Her & her sweet hubby are having their first baby & we're doing a gender reveal party! I can't wait!!!

Hope you have a great week! :)
