Weekend Update 8/5-8/7

Friday: I spent the morning reading Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. I won't give spoilers but I will say that while the story was good...it didn't feel like the other Harry Potter books. Maybe it was the format...maybe it is because some parts felt more like fan fiction to me....either way it left me feeling more sad about the fact that Harry Potter is over than I was before hand. 

The rest of the day was spent getting chores done, writing, and getting caught back up on all the blogs I hadn't read in weeks. If you got comments from me that were super late I apologize for taking so long to play catch up! 


Saturday: Massive Birthday Day. My twin Uncles' birthday was today. Also my Robert's Step Dad's birthday.  My cousin's little boy turned two (his actual birthday was Friday) and we had a little party for him. I can hardly believe that he is two already! It was a nice party though Kyra was slightly bummed that it wasn't a party for her. Still she was sweet and sang Happy Birthday and played so sweetly with the other kids. 

After the party my parents took Kyra so that Robert and I could go and see Suicide Squad. I know it got a lot of negative reviews but I will be honest and say that I really liked it. I thought that Harley Quinn was hilarious and Will Smith was awesome. Also I felt like they managed to keep the actual story line out of the media so I had no idea what to expect going in. However that might have hurt them as I felt like people expected it to be more of a Harley and Joker show when that was just a little bit of side story. Either way I liked it and will be buying it when it comes out. 

We also went to a movie with one of the new fancy theaters that have the reclining seats that you have to reserve ahead of time. Super comfy! 


Sunday: Epic Lazy Day. We had a late brunch and spent the day watching TV, reading, coloring, and just being together. We started a pretty funny show on Hulu called You're The Worst. 

 

It had me laughing pretty hard. Wasn't exactly kid friendly though so we switched over and did a marathon of Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Kyra actually really enjoyed watching those and lots of jumping and swashbuckling took place during the movies. 


All in all it was a great weekend of family and fun! How was your weekend?

Weekend Recap 8/24

Good Morning Everyone,

Time for the Recap!

Friday: 
Amazingly enough the weather has been wonderful here lately. So Kyra and I spent pretty much the entire day outside drawing, relaxing, playing in her playhouse, and just enjoying the good life. Don't worry I COATED us with sunscreen! 

Cuteness.

She loves the chalk art. Little artist in the making!

Saturday: 
My brother D had mentioned that this thrift store had a TON of Halloween things out and that meant I had to go and check it out! There was a lot of stuff but I didn't pick up any Halloween things. Cool stuff but nothing that jumped out and said it had to go home with me. 

Also if you want more ridiculousness from me my SnapChat is chaosncocoa

After that we headed to Price Chopper yet again because we had guests coming over to start a new D&D campaign. While we were shopping I ran across these and had to snap a pic. Is there a great demand for these? What do you do with them? Is there some underground cactus loving movement happening that I am not aware of? 

Then the night was spent rocking out our nerdy life. We borrowed this massive amount of dice from Bobby's Dad and I just thought they looked so pretty in there. I also admit that I totally pick my dice according to how pretty I think they are!

Sunday: 
Lazy day since we had a pretty full day on Saturday. Bobby and Kyra took a nap and I got in a good amount of time on the treadmill and caught up on some YouTube videos. I also got some behind the scenes work done on the blog which is always such a relief/joy!


That's the Recap! Have a good Monday Everyone!

The Weekend Recap

Good Morning Everyone! 

Let us begin with Thursday since that was technically the weekend beginning. Thursday was of course New Year's Day and I spent most of the morning attempting to get through to the Morphe site in order to get the Jaclyn Hill Favorites pallet. It was a struggle but I finally managed to snag one after about six hours of trying. 

 

(Yes I am aware I have a problem) I also managed to make lots of new Twitter friends during the struggle that were also just as obsessive and crazy devoted and loyal as myself.

Thursday afternoon was filled with nerdy goodness as we went to see the final Hobbit movie. I loved it of course. Laughed, cried, got a little sad that the whole thing was over now, and of course made plans to have the most epic marathon when all the movies are released on DVD. It was a lot of fun and it had been a while since we had been to the movies!

( We didn't get to see this one but I really want a Baymax all the same!!)

Friday was a weird sort of day. I spent the beginning of the morning not feeling all that well but then started feeling okay so I started in on the cleaning up of the Christmas stuff. However after my brother in law brought me lunch I got really sick. I think it food poisoning because it only lasted the night but it was a rough night all the same. 

One good thing was that the owners of the puppies came and picked them up. Yes I found the original owners! Sometimes Facebook is pretty handy. Anyhow they took three of the four little ones home. The fourth found a home at my brother in law's house and is now named Noelle since he found her on Christmas Eve! 

Saturday was spent busy, busy, busy. We took down ALL the Christmas things and put them away. Also we completely rearranged the living room again now that there isn't a tree in it. It looks really nice and was a good way to get me ready for setting up the cleaning schedule I am starting today. 

Saturday evening was spent hitting up the stores to restock the shelves as we are entering the real beginnings of winter around here. We got a bit of snow that night but nothing too major, but at least if we are snowed in here we won't have to resort to eating tree bark. 

Sunday was an epic lazy day. The most I got done around the house was cooking and doing dishes. The rest of the day was spent watching season 7 of Big Bang Theory and pushing Kyra around in her Cozy Coupe. It was pretty awesome. 

So there you have it, the weekend recap. How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting? 

Tomorrow I'm going to be doing a review of an awesome gift that my husband got! Be sure to check it out!
