Lazy and Fabulous

By Courtney 21 Comments

Well I knew I took somewhat of a break from my phone this weekend, but I guess I didn’t really realize just how much until I sat down to type up this post. Whoops!

It was a good weekend, fairly uneventful, really. It was the kinda weekend where we were in our jammies until 2-3pm both Saturday and Sunday…lazy and fabulous.

Friday was slightly more eventful, starting out with an afternoon outside with my favorite little guy.

As soon as we got home from work/daycare, I knew he was going to head straight for his sandbox and, sure enough, he didn’t surprise me. So we grabbed his toys and buckets, and off we went to the sandbox.

IMG_4329Side note…since when did my baby look like he turned 5??

We blasted some Pitbull radio and had a great time drawing our names and shoveling sand.

Fast-forward a bit to later in the evening, and we had our friends Joe & Kate over!

IMG_4331

This was one of the first times we’ve hung out just the four of us in a LONG time, so we had a blast catching up, enjoying some drinks, and playing a few rounds of 10,000.

IMG_4334

These guys are always such great company! Smile

Saturday didn’t have too much going on. We were originally supposed to be having a housewarming party, but we decided to postpone it with the way things are going with my father in law right now. It just didn’t seem like the right time. So with a free day on our hands, we remained lazy for most of it, went to visit my FIL in the hospital for a little while after Lucas’s nap, then came home to dinner waiting in the crockpot.

That Crockpot Stuffed Pepper Soup is just SO good (and turns out, it’s even better with a little shredded cheese on top!). Have you tried it yet??

Sunday was another slow, quiet day. It was freeeezing outside, and actually wound up snowing, which was boggling our  mind.

Thankfully, the snow let up by the time we had to head out for our family photos, which I think turned out pretty well. The photographer said she usually posts a teaser or two a few days after the session, so I’m super excited to see them!

It’s a good thing the session was short, because by the time we were wrapping up, our hands were frozen and our noses were running. We headed home, I dropped off the guys, I went and took care of the grocery shopping, and then came back home so we could all make dinner. On the menu?

Chicken Paninis!

IMG_4346

Or to be more precise, chicken, bacon, ranch paninis (apparently that’s our jam right now). Jay did a fabulous job of putting them together while I whipped up a batch of my favorite apple crisp.

IMG_4351

And now that I’ve got this post just about finished up, I think it’s about time to go dish some of that out because it smells deeeeeelish.

How about you guys? Did you have an awesome weekend? Do anything fun or exciting?

    I cannot believe you shoveled already! Wow! This weekend we went to the orchard and had a blast picking out pumpkins and enjoying fresh donuts and cider.

    Oh my gosh! I can’t believe you already had snow! It’s only mid-October! Hopefully it will warm up a bit.

    Oh my gosh, that chicken panini looks delightful! Right before we left Key West on Saturday night, we swung by this little Caribbean restaurant and had the BEST panini-like sandwich wraps. I would eat there everyday if I lived on the island ;) So glad you had a relaxing weekend!

    We had our first frost this weekend but thankfully the SNOW hasn’t appeared – geesh!

    My weekend was amazing! My boyfriend (who lives 4 hours away) came to visit this weekend and I showed him around my little town, he met the parents (AH!) and a couple friends. It was simple and perfect. :)

    I also look at Lucas and am like, where did that baby go?! They grow up so fast – I can’t take it.

    This weekend was pretty lazy for me too. I went to a pumpkin patch with my daughter and got some cute pics of her.

    I was so lazy yesterday that I didn’t even realize it had snowed until later in the day when people were talking about it. I’m not ready for it (although, I probably never am) :(

    Snow? Already? It’s supposed to hit 70* in Chicago for half of the week. Crazy! Anyway, it looks like you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. And is it crazy that I’ve never had chicken, bacon, ranch anything? It sounds delicious, though, so I might need to get on that!

    What a great weekend! I cannot believe it SNOWED there – it’s still in the 90s in Florida. What?! Also, I looked at that link for 10,000 and that’s just like a game my family and I always play that we call The Dice Game. Except it only has 5 dice, but same concept. How funny! And we actually played Friday night too! :)

    We had a pretty chill weekend over here too. Honestly though, it was just what we all needed! I need to make your Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup again. We loved it the first time I tried it, but I forgot all about it. I love how easy it is too.

    Hi Courtney! Your Crockpot Stuffed Pepper Soup has become a regular dish in my house. It’s my boyfriend’s favorite and he always asks me to make it! Thanks for your delicious recipes and honest posts. I love reading about your sweet family.

    That chicken panini looks good. My weekend went by fast mainly due to work so Monday was a bit harder than normal.

    Pajamas are my uniform of choice any day I don’t have to go into school. Even then…. sometimes sweats still happen. ;) So glad you got time to relax over these past few days!

    Prayers are with your father-in-law. <3
