This weekend was absolutely one of those weekends I just hated to see end. We have a ton of stuff we never got a chance to get to from our to do list, but we had so much fun with friends and family that it made it allll worth it. Even if that means we’re scraping for food this morning and have piles of laundry waiting to get washed.
The fun started Friday night at our house for our first bonfire of the summer (seriously…the first of August and we’re just getting to it?!).
We had a few friends and cousins over to help the birthday boy celebrate his special day, many of which are most definitely familiar faces to you all by now.
The bonfire was full of fun times and good laughs, and of course…
You can’t have a bonfire without some s’mores!
Jay and I spent most of Saturday around the house doing some odds and ends and hanging out with our little guy.
And in case you missed it, the Baby Tooth page was updated last night with a review of the GB Zuzu Stroller pictured above!
I also wound up getting this great bracelet in the mail from blog reader, Bridget.
Bridget reached out to me last week with the sweetest email, offering to send me one of Stella & Dot’s enlighten bracelets. I learned that Stella & Dot has teamed up with Every Mother Counts, a non-profit organization dedicated to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother.
Thanks again, Bridget!
So shortly after Lucas woke up from his afternoon nap, we packed up his “suitcase” and brought him over to grandma and papa’s house for his first-ever sleepover! Thankfully, he did great, making me feel much more at ease for future sleepovers which are inevitably going to happen (trust me, the grandmas and grandpas aren’t complaining!).
Once we dropped off the little man, Jay and I headed up to Saratoga for a night out with friends again(!) to celebrate Mal’s 30th birthday (hers is the day before Jay).
The gals.
The guys.
After dinner and some drinks, our crew headed out to another club/bar to continue the night with some dancing. My goodness, I cannot tell you the last time I went out dancing?!
The guys lost interest super quick and wound up going to another area of the bar, but the gals broke it down on the dance floor for quite a while and we had an absolute blast.
(I finally got the chance to wear my Stitch Fix tank from a couple months ago!) Oh, and I’m pretty sure it was the sweatiest night out I’ve ever had. Good god, was it hot up in there!
Before the evening came to an end, we made one last pit stop at another bar and we had to make sure to have some mini champagne’s just like the last time we were out in ‘toga together!
Cheers to the birthday gal!
Come Sunday morning, we were up and at ‘em pretty early so we could go and pick up Lucas from his sleepover. We came home, he napped for three hours, we got some work done around the house, and then we headed back out to visit grandma and papa #2!
A beautiful day calls for hanging out on the patio.
We had pulled pork, corn on the cob, and watermelon for dinner, which was all delicious.
And then…we had birthday cake!
Ice cream birthday cake, to be exact, which was the same one he had four years ago. The stuff is SO good.
And surprisingly enough, I think we’ve also found a cake that Lucas enjoys!
Oh. My. Goodness. was he having a blast with that stuff. Although, I’m pretty sure you guys probably already figured that out by those photos above. He certainly had us laughing.
And that, my friends, is a wrap! Now it’s back to the grind of the work week, as usual…but here’s to hoping it’s a good one for all of us.
