I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was busy but fun!

Friday, I finally broke down and bought my ticket for Bloggy Boot Camp Dallas!
I’ve been waiting, hoping I could make it work, and I finally got my work schedule figured out so I can go! I’ve heard great things about Bloggy Boot Camps, so I’m excited to be able to go.

I’m also THRILLED to be spending the weekend with these fabulous girls!
Fingers crossed that I get a little bit of time with this girl too! Pleeeease Meg, you have to come! :)
Saturday I worked part of the day and then spent the evening hanging out with these little cuties!
I haven’t been able to babysit them in a few months, and I’ve missed them a lot!

We had a really great time! I always bring a fun craft for us to do together, and in the fall I always bring pumpkins to paint!

It’s been fun to look back over the years at what the kids have created. So cute!

After the painting, J wanted to show me a video game, which led to us playing Just Dance.

I’ve heard about this game, but I’ve never played it. I had fun watching the kids play, but then it was my turn.

I had fun, but my goodness it’s exhausting! After doing about three dances, I crashed.

I won though! :)


At bedtime, we all piled into J’s bed to read books. I always bring books to read, and they have a couple of favorites that they always request. One of them they even bought at a book fair because they love it so much! Normally, I sit and read to them, but the last time A asked if she could read one of the books. This time, J asked if he could! He has been learning to read, and he was so proud to get to show me what he’s learned!

It was a fun night! A and J are always so good for me, and they are so much fun. It never feels like work, and the time just flies! I’m always a little sad when it’s time for them to go to bed :)


After I put the kids down, their cat Girl was waiting in the living room for me.

She hides the whole time the kids are up, but as soon as they are in bed, she’s in my lap. She’s super sweet and super snuggly. 

Precious girl!

It was a great weekend!
