Every Friday...without fail...we have pizza for dinner. This could be pizza we pick up on the way home or pizza we make ourselves. With the craziness of traffic on campus beginning at 4:31pm on the dot, we picked it up on the way home. Both kiddos were visibly dirty at pick up. They played HARD at school so we enjoyed a lovely evening of pizza, bath time, and cuddles!
During football season, we typically do not leave the house on Saturday. I don't thrive in traffic...and neither do most of Baton Rouge drivers. So I like to keep it positive and calm...in my home! Even though we were stuck at home, the excitement of LSU football was in the air. We all wore our purple and gold as we tackled projects around the house. Not only were we excited about the inevitable football game, we were also stoked for our mini fish fry! Chris rocked out fried catfish po boys and hush puppies while I embraced baked onion rings.
Why yes, that is a "do rag" on Chris' head.
We got the kids down for bed and, with the rest of Tiger Country, we waited and waited and waited for the LSU game to kick back on...only to be disappointed by a persistent lightning storm. Sad day!
On Sunday, like little rebels, we slept in and skipped church. We started going to church at Healing Place in January and while we love it...some Sundays the urge to stay put is just too strong. It doesn't help that Harrison doesn't always sleep through the night so when we get the chance to sleep in...we typically don't think twice. We puttered the morning away and then dressed again in our purple and gold before heading to the LSU Soccer Complex.
Outside of the fact that it felt like the game took place on the surface of the sun, we had a blast! It was our first LSU soccer game and I know that we will be back! First, it was free admission! Second, we got to see sweet friends! Third, there was an LSU jump house! Lily was pretty much sold when she saw that! Lily's soccer season starts next weekend so this was the perfect activity to get her excited!
Because we theme everything, Sunday evening is Soup Sunday in the Fall. Yes, I realize it isn't technically fall and yes, I did JUST say that it was hot as blue blazes...but it was still Soup Sunday. So, broccoli cheese and potato soup it was! Chris and I were the only Henrys that ate it...thank goodness Sizzer stopped by to help!
Once the kids were asleep, Chris and I settled in for a movie night. Netflix is just about the greatest but we have seen most of the movies on there. So, we settled for a little indie film, Skeleton Twins. I mean, how weird could it be...look at that cast!?!
Well, it was pretty strange. Funny at times...but pretty consistently uncomfortable. Just odd really. But it didn't matter because Monday was around the corner and it was a DAY OFF! Yay three day weekends!
We were still up at 6am with two kiddos ready to take on the day! "But Mommy, the sun is up!" Oh joy! Again, we simply puttered and tackled some additional must needed tasks. Mainly, I just picked up toys over and over and over and over again. Harrison loves to just throw things. As you will see in this video.
We did start a project that I am VERY excited about and cannot wait to share once complete! Let me preface with this, one of our favorite things to do on the weekend is dumpster dive. This sounds weird...but...Monday morning is large item trash pick up in our area so everyone sets their random items on the street each Sunday evening. We have scored some amazing items! One man's trash is another man's treasure and we LOVE DIY projects! Several weeks ago, we picked up this very dirty, borderline disgusting item and it got some love this afternoon...can't wait to share!
Basically, it was a very lazy weekend but we had a blast! I recently joined not one but two different book clubs that start discussions tomorrow and I haven't opened either one...and this blog post is me basically procrastinating like I did in college. Ah, memories. ;)
