Sentence Per Picture Weekend

By Courtney 25 Comments

It’s amazing what a little nice weather will do for the soul. That, combined with some good fun with friends and delicious food, makes for one heck of a weekend. As I’m sitting down to type this on Sunday evening…and this is probably one of the first times I’ve really sat all day…I’m feeling pretty pooped. Plus, I need to have this finished by 9pm because Secrets and Lies is coming on and I. Can’t. Wait.

So for today’s post, I’m going to keep things simple with one sentence per picture…

Friday night spent painting my nails, sipping wine, and watching TV curled up under a blanket was everything I could have asked for.

IMG_1367

An impromptu kiddo and adult play date with Kanika, Shaheen, and Kaura made for a fantastic Saturday afternoon and evening.

IMG_1369

These two are gonna be best buds, whether they realize it yet or not…and Lucas is wearing PJ pants because we had a little blueberry explosion on the other pants.

IMG_1380

Crackers with mascarpone cheese topped with fig jam is seriously THE JAM.

IMG_1371

Having friends who agree that takeout Italian for dinner is never a bad thing is always a good thing.

IMG_1372

I will heart chicken parm and eggplant parm for every and always.

IMG_1373

The adults had fun breaking out old some old school Mario Kart, but I quickly discovered how BAD I’ve become at that game.

IMG_1378

Then again…trying to play Mario Kart with a view like this and having someone trying to snag your steering wheel can make things rather difficult, I suppose.

IMG_1374

Sunday morning started with homemade pancakes courtesy of Jay, and they were exactly the way I wanted to start my day.

IMG_1384

Sunday was THE most beautiful day we’d had around here in probably 6 months.

IMG_9808

As promised, we got outside late in the morning to play, and were outside for the majority of the day right up until dinner time.

IMG_9796

Lucas got so big over the winter that we had to take the floor out from the bottom of his car so he could fit.

IMG_9794

We took all the patio furniture out from the shed and enjoyed a nice lunch outside.

IMG_9806

And while Lucas napped, mommy spent the entire time hanging out on the back deck and ended up getting a little sunburned. Oops.

After Lucas’s nap, we promptly packed into the car and headed out for our first cone of the season from The Snowman!

IMG_1401

Orange and vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles for me and Jay…and a little orange and vanilla twist in a dish for Lucas.

IMG_1392

He tried acting like he didn’t want the ice cream at first, but as soon as he finally took a taste, there was no stopping him. He housed it, just like his mama.

IMG_1395

After getting our ice cream, we stopped at the park and I swear, if I pushed a swing once, I pushed it 1,000 times yesterday.

IMG_1402

And slides are now definitely a new favorite “thing” this year.

IMG_1398

When we got home from the park, it was more time spent outside, and Lucas loved trying to “help” Jay wash the cars.

IMG_1400

And then, eventually, it was dinner time.

IMG_9822

BLAT’s with sweet potato fries…which, if you’ve been checking out our weekly meal plans, you’ve probably noticed that these are basically a weekly thing for us lately. Can’t get enough of ‘em!

Wooo Hooo! Time is 8:58…finished just in time for my show, baby! Winking smile

So I’m gonna jet, but I hope you guys all had a wonderful weekend and have a great week ahead! Did you guys have anything fun happening?

    The sun was out all weekend and we enjoyed it to the fullest! It was a long winter, so the beautiful weather brought everyone out. And I agree, a nice quiet night on the couch with some wine can be so refreshing and relaxing.

    Our weather was BRILLIANT this weekend so we spent a ton of time outside. In fact, the weekend felt like one long date. Pretty wonderful!

    Yay for ice cream season! I've been hearing the ice cream truck in my neighborhood everyday for the past week. There's just something about that sound that is so nostalgic.

    I love love fig jam! It is the best for making sweet/savory combos! I use it to make fig pizzas.

    If a toddler needs to change his pants on account of an explosion, I'd rather it be a blueberry explosion.

    Awwww what a fun weekend! It sounds & looks like a good one. I love sunshine & slides with kids--the best. Lucas looks like he had so much fun at the park! We have panini's at least once a week with sweet potato fries as well--so easy & delicious!

    I MAY have planned my evening last night around Ryan Phillipe's abs.. I mean Secrets and Lies.. too! Haha! It is so intense! I keep wondering how they will continue the show though... maybe it's just a mini series rather than a show meant to last several seasons? What do you think?

      April 15, 2015 at 9:13 am

      Bahahaha, his abs! <3 I know, I was wondering the same thing. I feel like it'd be hard to keep a full show going, but if it is only a mini series I'll be super sad. I am in LOVE with this show!! And I can't get over how tense I get while I watch it, haha.

    I used to love helping my dad wash the car, too ;) And I still love swinging! I totally don't blame you for the recurring BLTAs and sweet potato fries - that sounds delicious. Have a great Monday!

    Glad you had a nice weekend! Good weather always makes a big difference. We had gorgeous weather too...it actually wasn't crazy hot! ;) I've determined that avocado is always a must on my BLT sandwiches now - so good!

    MarioKart is the best video game. My husband and I came across it when we were moving last year and had a blast playing it again for a little while. Those BLATs sound awesome - may need to add those to our meal plan for this week or next!

    That ice cream cone looks EXACTLY like the soft serve with rainbow sprinkles I always chased down Mister Softee to get! And I too enjoyed some pancakes this weekend, homemade is even better than going to a diner because you get a lazy PJs morning while you munch.

    The weather was unbelievably beautiful here in Northern California over the weekend, so a lot of time was spent outside! I also did a little shopping and had a little vino. (And Italian food and fig jam are two of my favorite things!) Happy Monday! :)

    I spent Saturday cleaning, and OMG. Could I feel it on Sunday. but living in an old house means spring cleaning is a must, as is opening all the windows to get that glorious, crisp Spring air blowing through the house. This weekend, we tackle the upstairs, God help us. ;-) And I've never had a cone with Sprinkles, but I really want to try it now.
