you know those one shoes from Target?

Bab's was a doll and a half and left the house with me at EIGHT TWENTY A.M. Saturday morning for Bird's bball game.  Who makes these kids' sports schedules, anyway???!

The team got put in their place a wee little bit after last week's 71-9 victory and lost by two points.  Call me whatever you may call me, but I personally think losing is a good thing every once in awhile.  Builds character, makes you fight harder, bites a layer or two into that ego and I don't think that's a bad thing.

that darn cold/cough/flu crap that's been going around took residence in Rhett, so he wasn't able to make the game but when we got home he had made us his famous Quiche. Here's a few photos for your drooling pleasure... 

it is SO GOOD.  One of my favorite things he makes.

Bab's needed some new glasses, so we headed to the mall at noon, met Karley and Jake.. and FIVE HOURS LATER, we left.

finding the perfect pair of glasses for Aub's was agonizing!
this is a big decision!! 

I truly can't totally explain how completely wonderful it is to spend a day with my little sissy's.  A whole day! At the mall, no less.  I'm so very blessed right now.  I need to remember to lick up every last bit of us all living so close together.  

and then, after the mall,

for the fourth time in five days, we went to the gym.  

No Big Deal.  

hey look, every time I'm at the gym?
it's getting blasted on IG and Twitter and Text and Email!!!
This is ME.
At the G.Y.M.
!!!!!!!!!!

after the gym, we Aubrey came home and made us a yummy carby dinner.  And Tristen set the table.  He loves setting the table.. how cute is that.  I love it.

ps.  adding a plate of tomatoes and kiwi to the table is BOMB.

Sunday I spent about four hours going through my closet.  I took out everything that doesn't currently fit, everything that most definitely won't be worn again till spring or summer, and added some work slacks that my girlfriend passed onto me {thank you, thank you, thank you!!}.  It's still a work in progress, but I'm feeling confident that getting ready every morning is going to be sooo much easier!

I determined that I need to add two things to my closet.  That's it.  ONLY TWO THINGS.  A white button down shirt, and some black combatty boots (I don't know what they are really called).  So, while at Target buying a present for our niece, I took a quick breeze through the clothes and shoe department, looking ONLY for the two things that I need to add to my closet, and wouldn't you know it ~ THESE were HALF OFF.

crap!
the first "unnecessary"
addition to my closet was purchased.
and then a second one was purchased seconds later,
cause a crazy cool leopard pair was EIGHT DOLLARS!
I mean.  What is a girl supposed to do???
every girl needs those shoes, right!? ;)

ooooh, and another reason we were at Target?  Cause we were meeting someone to purchase their Lady Gaga ticket!!!!  I'm soo excited for the show!  This Tuesday.  I can't wait.  We got GA floor tickets and it's gonna be a daaaaaance party!!!

we finished Sunday evening with friends and family, celebrating Viv's second birthday.  Crazy.  I just can't hardly believe it's been two years since Viv joined the family.  Seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I remember riding the hospital elevator up to see the first precious baby girl to join the clan; but in the same breath, I can't hardly remember the time before she was here and part of the fam.  Weird how that works, isn't it.  

her beautiful mama made this cake

we went to the party.. and then my phone died!  So, that's a wrap!!  That was our weekend and now it's time for Monday!  Lots to look forward to this week.  It's going to be a fast and furious one. These type of weeks excite me, but also cause that pitter patter of anx inside me to pitter a little bit faster.  You know what though?  I'm going to wait to worry about it and just attack it and see if it can all be done!  ;)  happy monday!

ps.. I also did a little crockpot meal planning thanks to all of your wonderful encouragement and suggestions last week!  I posted them here, so I can refer to one post with all the links all week long.  If the recipes go well, I'll be sure to share!!
