A Fun with Friends Kinda Weekend

By Courtney 11 Comments

Well THAT was a fast weekend. Anyone else?

Granted, it probably had something to do with the fact that we were lucky enough to have all sorts of fun with friends on both Saturday and Sunday. Time flies when… ; )

Also fun was the way I was able to start out my Saturday, which included a solo trip out for grocery shopping.

IMG_2398

BUT, since I utilized Walmart’s grocery pickup again (I ordered the night before), I literally just had to check in, have my groceries brought to me, and packed up the car.

IMG_2396

The one thing I don’t like about the pickup is that it’s hard to use your own bags AND, for whatever reason, they tend to only put like 1-2 items in each bag (as opposed to me who loads ‘em up until they’re ready to break).

But really, I can’t complain because since my “grocery shopping” was going to be done in about 5 minutes, that left some extra time for a little pedicure.

IMG_2395

Maybe it was because it had been quite a while, but man, that was one of the best pedi’s I’ve had in a long time (for the locals, Venus Nail Spa in North Greenbush is GREAT).

Shortly after I got home, Alex was up from his nap and it was time to head out for Lucas’s buddy Kaura’s birthday party.

As usual, our friends Kanika and Shaheen put together a fabulous party, which even included farm animals and pony rides this year!

IMG_2401

My kid wanted zero to do with the horses, but he was quite intrigued by the baby chicks.

IMG_2402

Other than that, if you needed to find my two, they were likely playing on the slides or swings.

IMG_2400

They had some delicious food, too, including the return of the incredible pizza truck, and the most delicious salad (which appears to have goat cheese, pecans, and dried cranberries…YUM!).

IMG_2399

After the party, we headed back home and spent the majority of the evening playing outside (and if you saw my Instagram stories, you likely saw that already!). Gotta take advantage of these summer nights while they’re still around, right?

IMG_2415

Because I still can’t even get past the fact that we’re already mid-way through August. UGH.

On Sunday, I had another early start thanks to a toddler who is apparently liking 6am wakeup calls at the moment. So Lucas and I got up, I enjoyed a cup of coffee, he had breakfast, then we headed to the basement for a workout (he joined in here and there in between playing, as usual).

Shortly after, Jay was also up (Alex was still sleeping) and offered to make me some bacon and eggs for breakfast…YES, please!

I enjoyed breakfast while working on some projects on my To-Do list for my Usborne Books business, and finally at around 9:45am (?!?!) Alex was up. Seriously.

A little while later, I showered and got ready for the day quick, and then Alex and I took a quick trip over to Staples to pick up an order I’d placed earlier. I’ve been working for a while on putting together some stuff for the girls that are on my Usborne team, and I’m excited to start getting those out soon!

And that entire morning went undocumented because I have no idea where my phone was, so you’ll have to take my word for it. ; )

Around lunch time, we had our friends Joe, Kate, and their daughter Samantha over for lunch! They brought the entire spread, too, which was quite a treat…salad, burgers, and grilled chicken kebabs. SO good.

IMG_2420

AND, they even brought a surprise lunch for Samantha and Lucas, which was a huge hit.

IMG_2431

The kids had a great time playing, and the parents had an even better time catching up and enjoying a few daytime beverages.

IMG_2422

IMG_2421

Ehh…a few, a lot…who’s counting?

IMG_2426

It’s always such a great time with those guys <3

IMG_2427

So much so, that our “lunch” later turned into takeout Chinese for dinner, and them heading home shortly before 8pm.

IMG_2430

So now here I am, living room is back in order, dishes are cleaned up (thank you, paper plates, for easy cleanup!), and I’ve got this post just about ready to wrap up for today!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! What was on the agenda? Do anything fun or exciting??

    What a fun weekend! I also spent the entire weekend with friends, such a great time. There's something about summer days spent outside grilling and enjoying great company that feeds the soul.

    I'm all about paper plates whenever hosting an event -- those things are lifesavers!

    Fun weekend, indeed! Ours was great, too. Friday we laid low and started watching GoT. I've yet to see it, and we plowed through five episodes over the weekend in-between workouts, dinner with friends, brunch with friends, and boring, grown-up things like grocery shopping and apartment cleaning.

    So much fun! Love friends like that. We had a tough weekend- sick toddler! Oh well, we survived and it'll make next weekend even better.

    Spontaneous fun with friends is the BEST! Looks like you had a great weekend. Highlights of mine were a sunset cruise on Lake Michigan + a potluck with friends for brunch that also led to more than a "few" beverages. Have a great week!

    What a fun weekend!!! I am so in need of a pedicure, like in a bad way. I haven't gotten one since May! (Yikes) My weekend was spent hanging out with my nephews mostly, I tried to soak up as much time outside as I could. I literally just said that I cannot believe we are already halfway through August...summer does not last long enough around here! I hope you have a great week, Courtney! Xoxo

    I think I missed a few posts here and there but was wondering I don't see Cody anymore? Is he alright?
