Whew, yesterday was definitely one of those “pass the coffee ASAP” kind of mornings.
I don’t know what the deal was, but both boys were up twice the night before, and whew, mama was tiiiiired. Hence the reason I’m writing this post a day later than I expected, ha!
We actually didn’t have too crazy of a weekend to share, though. Saturday was fairly uneventful, while Sunday was a bit busier. The four of us enjoyed a little jumping in the morning, and then later in the afternoon, Lucas and I got to enjoy a little afternoon date <3
This kid has been begging to go mini golfing for a couple of weeks now, and was devastated to find out that the place we go nearby is now only open Friday-Sunday (when my MIL tried to bring him one afternoon after preschool). So since we didn’t have much going on, I figured it would be a nice surprise for him…and he was SO excited.
Which made up for the fact that I was sweating my face off the entire time we were mini golfing. Wow. (BUT, I will not complain because before we know it, it’s going to be disgusting and cold and snowy, and I don’t even want to think about that).
After we finished our (rather fast) round of mini golf, we went to check out the mini go-karts, only to discover that our big kid is actually big enough to ride them now. As if mini golf hadn’t already made his afternoon, this was pretty much the icing on the cake.
And, of course, you can’t go play mini golf without getting some ice cream once you’re done, right??
Awesome, AWESOME afternoon with Lucas <3
By the time we got home, Alex and daddy were outside playing, so we joined them in on some fun.
This kid. Always trying to get cozy with the hands behind his head!
For dinner, we enjoyed some nice, fresh steak salads.
And then, just like that, the weekend was already over. Boooo.
But hey, hopefully you guys are all having a great week so far – hard to believe we’re already in the last week of September, right?! Yikes!

What fun! I have da most similar mug from my mom in law! But my mug reads “Best [text] ever” apparently she started nicknaming me that when she bawght it! I loved it so much I made her a Cobb salad. I didn’t have lettuce, bacon, egg dressing or a plate – BUT she ate corn outta can and croutons! She was so full she left without finishing half and left without saying bye! Cheftboyarhaaaay

I loved going put-put as a kid, too. And the Dairy Queen was next door so there was usually a treat after. Maybe that’s why I liked put-put, ha!

I used to LOVE playing mini golf and getting ice cream as a day when I was a kid. In fact I would definitely still enjoys hat as an adult. I’ve actually been begging my husband to take me to a driving range to teach me how to hit a golf ball.

That’s so nice that you got some fun one on one time! I imagine that’s hard to come by with two :)

I bet Lucas was pretty excited to have an afternoon just with you. I remember the first time I was able to drive a go cart by myself I was overjoyed. Ha, the little things that make you happy as a kid!
And I totally agree, it felt like the summer flew by, and before I know it fall is going to be over too.

Love your date with Lucas! My mom would take us out on dates, about once or so a month and that always seemed so special!
Kaitlyn @ Powered by Sass says
What a fun day! Also, ending in ice cream and steak salads is a huge plus. :) The weekend absolutely flew by, and so far this week is dragging. What is happening?!?!
Laura @ Laura Likes Design says
Sprinkle cones are always a good idea! Love that you and Lucas got to go on a little date!
Katie says
I love mini golf! My boyfriend and I have been talking about going to one of those glow golf things for a fun date night idea!
