Friday Favorites: Thanksgiving Break Edition

I’m so ready for this week of Friday Favorites, because it’s been a good week except for this crazy amount of school work that I have to complete by Sunday.

Join in with me, Andrea, Narci, and Erika for Friday Favorites!!

Friday, my favorite little one and I went shopping so he could get some Christmas gifts. We traveled to a nearby store for him to sniff some perfumes, look around the store, and pick something out in time for me to make it to work later that night. Love having brothers!

Saturday night I was asked to babysit and I can’t say no because look how adorable this one is? She and her brothers had mac-n-cheese for dinner and then we played for a while and pulled out the game sequence. Then, when it was bath time I found my favorite animal print headband in her bathroom and had to take a selfie….

 I spent my morning at Church, because what is a better way to start your Sunday? I wasn’t able to make it the week before, so I was totally loving it and I was looking forward to hearing another message in our current series. This is my favorite part of Sundays.

Monday morning I started off with an 8:00am test. In order to make it through the day I had to swing through Starbucks for one of my favorite drinks, a Pumpkin Spice Frappuchino because how else would I have had the energy to make it through? McCafe was too far out of my way, so Starbucks was a good second.

If you follow me on Instagram, which you should, and if you don’t…what the heck, man? Do it HERE…you saw this adorable, precious, handsome, favorite boy that I got to see Tuesday morning. This is my friend’s baby and also my new boyfriend, Clay. Couldn’t you die looking at that smirk??? #heartmelted Also, when I looked at that second picture, i’m wondering….is my nose really that big? It’s true your nose grows over time, but obviously i’m clueless that it grows to be like Pinocchio.

I started wrapping presents this week and also made my favorite Thanksgiving side dish for our feast yesterday. A good start to my Thanksgiving break, indeed! And i’m feeling so relieved that I don’t have to worry about my own shopping during the holidays, and I get to relax and watch everyone else stress about last minute gifts. Ahhhhh, it’s good to be me!

Happy Thanksgiving from my home to yours!!!!!!

Friday Favorites: Lots o’ Kids Edition

 

 

Friday favorites time!!! Join Andrea, Erika, and Narci by grabbing their graphic and linking up to them.

Sleeping in.

My 8:00am class was cancelled on Friday and I knew that would be my favorite part of the day.  Once I got home from work on Thursday night I got ready for bed and CRASHED. I didn’t set an alarm for the first time in soooo long and I woke up at 10:15. It was the most wonderful thing. I went back to my room and laid in bed for a couple minutes just to soak in the fact that I had slept that long. Apparently I was tired?

Hanging out with kiddos.

Sometimes I wonder why I chose not to go into elementary education or something of that nature, because I love kids. Even though they aren’t my own, my favorite thing is taking care of them, hanging out with them, playing games with them, and making their parents happy by giving them some time to themselves.
Not only did I work this weekend, but I babysat too. Saturday night I hung out with a family that I met through Collin, littlest one I nanny. They are a super sweet family. The top picture is the best picture I could get of the four of us. You can see little feet on the bed, gray pants by the nightstand and yellow shirt running at me!!

Then, I had to stiff arm yellow shirt as he kept trying to knock my phone out of my hand. Haha boys will be boys. When in doubt, stiff arm them out. (This is a joke…no children were harmed in the making of this selfie.) (in fact, he laughed his butt off.)

Bargain finds.

I babysat for about 7 hours on Sunday for a different family and was lucky enough to get gum stuck in my hair from one of the girls. Needless to say my favorite part of Sunday was my sporadic trip to Target in between Church and babysitting. I tell you. They roped me in. I saw so many sales and so much that I had to have and came back with a bag full of things.
Don’t you love these scarves?? Click to shop them now!! Plus, free shipping on all orders!

Fun texts from friends.

My least favorite part of Monday was this text I received from my girls, Em ‘n Mads. They wanted to eat Monday night to catch up because we all live in different cities around the same area and only get to see each other at work. And I couldn’t go because I nanny. and I missed them!!! They sent me a pic of them Halloween shopping & I got sad 😦
p.s. yes, they call me milky.

Productivity.

Tuesday I was super productive. After my class in the morning my mom and I headed over to the museum. I have to go there for a project in class and she said she would go, so I brought her along with me. Then, it was “me afternoon” while she napped. I got a hair cut, really a trim, and then got my eyebrows waxed. Keeping it real with my selfie. No make-up. However, my favorite football player was on the field that night. Love supporting my little #26.

#nannylife

You already know there’s gotta be a #nannylife picture every week. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that on Wednesday I was soccer nanny and sat out at Collin’s soccer practice. Then we came home, got them dinner, and took a couple selfies. My favorite thing about these kids is the fact that they make me smile even on days I may not want to. I got some sad news a couple minutes after getting to their house, but they helped keep my mind off of it.

 Mommy/Daughter day.

 

Mommy/daughter days are my absolute favorite in and of itself. She’s going to visit her best friend this weekend, and I always miss her. So I went along with her to run her errands and do what she needed to accomplish. Then, I worked last night so of course I had to get that selfie in.

Oh, one more thing before we go today,
I sent this picture to some of my people.

Smile!!!! It’s the weekend 🙂

Weekend Recap: Totally Beat Edition

Wanna know why it’s the totally beat weekend? Because….I worked all. dang. weekend. long. And I haven’t run since Monday, and I cleaned my room Saturday and now it’s messy again, and I didn’t get to have my weekly phone call with grandpa, and I didn’t get to write for the blog at all this weekend and school. And I just want to whine.

But i’ll get over it because we have my totally rad and exciting weekend to chat about, you know…. 😉
I consider Thursdays to be weekends for some reason. But in my head weeks run Monday-Sunday. So i’m all sorts of scattered. Anyways, I worked Thursday night. #waitresslife. And I got home and was super excited because my 8:00am Friday was cancelled….AKA no class. AKA sleep my butt off. So yes, I woke up at 10:15 on Friday and I immediately heard that angel chorus. Little did I know how much I would need that sleep-in. A neighbor came over at 11 for my help with something and was here until 2. By that time Morgan was home and we had to help mom with something. I don’t know, I can’t even remember back that far. What…….

I worked the dinner shift Friday night, so I didn’t get home until very late that night.

And then Saturday I worked the lunch shift, so I was back at it (I need to take a new work selfie so you don’t have to keep looking at the same thing, this is just #waitresslife)

While I was at work I received a text asking me to babysit Saturday night. And so I did…I got home from work with an hour and a half to spare. I ate, cleaned my room, and left to babysit wrestle with kiddos for the night.

I’m kidding, we only wrestled a little bit. But we cuddled up in front of the tv with some popcorn and watched Mr. Peabody and Sherman before bedtime.

 

Morgan and Rick’s homecoming dance was Saturday night. I already told you Rick was a totally cool freshman and didn’t go to the dance, only to his friends house at midnight to hang out with some people. Morgan didn’t go to the dance either, but instead dressed up with the soccer team and went to dinner and hung out.

Saturday night I got home and was super tired, so I crashed. I woke up the next morning and realized I slept in but thought I could still make it to Church, so I hustled out the door looking at hot mess to get there. And I was late..go me ❤

After Church I had to run some errands that I couldn’t get around to this past week because of my busy week school-wise. Most of it was returns, but I also had to run by Target to get an organizer for one of my drawers. And then I saw this….

Buy one, get one 50% fall fashion scarves on the website!!!

and then I ended up with about $100 worth of stuff because they pulled me into their trap and I can’t help it!!

but seriously….

Target is having a buy one, get one 50% off sweaters & jeans sale!!!

So yeah, after I spent a lot of time in Target, I got home in enough time to eat and go babysit a different family while their parents went to the Cowboys game.

They played outside and at the park…

Oh yeah, and got gum stuck in my hair. #babysitterlife

And I came home, and typed this post, and fell asl

I hope your weekend was full of a relaxing nothing 🙂
If you need me i’ll be hibernating.
