It’s always such a bummer to see a fun weekend go away, isn’t it?!
It’s finally starting to feel like fall around these parts (after hitting over 90 here last week!), and I’ve finally embraced it. While I may not have had my first PSL just yet, I’m ready for the boots, scarves, and everything else basic and typical.
Saturday was a pretty crummy day weather-wise, so the boys didn’t get much of a chance to get out of the house. But we had some fun at home and pretty much just laid low until later in the evening when my MIL came over to watch the boys so Jay and I could have an evening out!
Our first stop of the evening was at my brother’s house for a little party.
We didn’t stay too long (we were the OLD people of the group!), but just long enough to chat, say hi, and enjoy a delicious cup of this corn chowder that my brother made. SO good.
After leaving that party, Jay and I headed in to downtown Troy to stop for a drink at Footsy Magoo’s. We hadn’t been there in years (like, way before children!), and had sort of forgotten about it until quite a few people recommended it to me on Facebook. Definitely a good choice!
We ended up staying there for two drinks (chardonnay for me), and had a great time chatting away at the bar (our favorite) before realizing we were definitely both starving and could use some food.
So we made our way over to another favorite, Brown’s, for a couple of delicious burgers and fries. So fancy, aren’t we?
I had originally debated on recommending we go see a movie, too, but I knew it would likely be a waste of money at that point because I probably would have been passed out about 15 minutes in. #oldlady
Sunday was a much nicer day in the weather department, so we had plenty of time to play around outside at home. Then later after nap time, we ended up making a trip over to the playground with a couple of our neighbors and their little guy.
It’s always nice when you can get out and let the kiddos just run off all of that energy, isn’t it??
Or, in this kiddo’s case, just sit and eat snacks while occasionally walking off to go see what Lucas is doing.
After some time at the playground, we made a quick stop over to my parents’ house right around the corner to say hello, AND, for Alex to get his first real haircut.
Gahhhh. I was SO sad to see those curls go (at least for now!) but it really was time because the poor kid had hair falling in his face all day long.
But I can’t say I’m hating his new big boy cut… <3
And those are pretty much the highlights of our weekend! Maybe next weekend we’ll make it out for some fun, fall-themed activities…but for this weekend, we kept things closer to home, which was fine by me.
How was YOUR weekend? Do anything fun, exciting, or fall-themed? Have any amazing food? ; )

Alex looks so grown up with his big boy hurh cut! Handsome! And that corn chowdah looks so fall! I went to go watch It at the cinema and yelled and screamed the first 10 minutes into it. But then we got kicked out because it was the ads and commercials i was getting scurred of! We didn’t even make it to the previews!

Such a great picture of you and Jay. I love date nights. This weekend we celebrated my son’s third birthday and had the most amazing time. The weather was stunning, all of our friends and family came and Mitch was on cloud nine.

So glad you and Jay got out for date night! Awww, it’s always sad when they get their first “real” haircut, huh?! My Mom cut my nephew Enzo’s hair just a little tiny bit so we didn’t call that a real haircut haha Alex looks like a big boy with that haircut though! So cute!! It’s definitely feeling more like fall around here too! We embraced it and went apple picking yesterday and took my nephew Gio! :)

This looks like such a great weekend, especially date night! My boyfriend Felix and I love sitting at the bar in restaurants too.
My weekend consisted of a bunch of events that were charities for Puerto Rico relief! Friday we went to a brewery and had a few Oktoberfests and Puerto Rican food, Saturday consisted of a work picnic + fall decorating shopping and Sunday we ran a 5k for PR relief as well. It’s been BEAUTIFUL here in DC. I hope it lasts!

Hey girl! Where is that train track from that it’s in the background on the floor at your parent’s house? I’m pretty sure we need that….
Also, I went and got my eyelashes lifted like you. I really like it! It’s made putting on mascara so much quicker and I haven’t had to use half a tube anymore… thanks for posting about that! Hope all is well :)

I’m pretty sure my mom found it on QVC last year, lol! The cars actually die out pretty quick though, so I’m not totally sure I’d recommend it :( And how awesome you tried lash lift!! Thanks for sharing! :)
