Busy weekend. I did actually manage to find time to get my hair cut on Friday, thanks to my mom. She watched both the kids for me.
Then we had a long busy weekend of helping my sister with Bridal Shower stuff.
She took us to dinner on Friday, which was awesome. Then Saturday I finally made this new chicken and pastina bake I've been wanting to try. It was really gross, haha. So much for finding a new recipe.
Sunday we just brought home the leftover baked ziti from the shower, so that was easy for dinner. Now last night we were lazy and didn't do anything, and so far, right now, it's already after 4pm, and I have no clue what's for dinner.
I am still pretty exhausted after this past weekend. I wanted to update and write more but I think I've lost the energy.

Finally summer weather!!
Finally today the weather feels like summer!!!
It was definitely over 70 (not sure exactly how hot), and totally gorgeous out! However, of course, the bees are already EVERYWHERE :-(
We went outside with Logan and Meredith at a little before 12. Logan is going to be a yardrat for sure. He just loves it out there. We've been slowly getting him more and more outside toys, even though he's not sure how to correctly use them all yet. We got him a tiny little ride-on 4 wheeler type thing, but he won't listen watch long enough to learn to use it the right way! Oh well though, he'll get it eventually. We left to do a little shopping at about 1:15, and did our running around, got home around 2:30ish. Logan was exhausted so he went right down for a nap, although it didn't last long, not even an hour. He got up, ate some lunch, hung out, and then back outside we went!! Unfortunately, he can't be left outside to play alone just yet. He's too clumsy and not quite ready. I don't mind being outside with him, but dealing with Meredith and her colic, as well as trying to get things done around the house, it's a little challenging. We went lazy for dinner, hot dogs and mac n cheese. I had chicken pulled out defrosting, but it was so hot in the house we decided to scratch that and are making it tomorrow instead since it's supposed to storm and we wouldn't be able to cook out anyway. It's a new recipe, and hopefully it will come out good. It's some kind of Chicken and tomato pastina bake. Wish me luck!!
I just finished making some blueberry muffins from scratch, though I'm not sure how I got it done, since I was home alone with both kids. I'm not sure how I had the energy either, since we were outside most of the day, then I fed and gave both kids baths. That's exhausting just in itself!! So everyone is fed and cleaned, I made some muffins for a snack. Now I need to plan my tomm and my friday. I want, no scratch that, I NEED to get my haircut one of the next 2 days. Then sometime next week I need to find time to finally dye it again. Then Friday/Saturday mom and I have to get some food and a cake ready for a bridal shower we are helping my sister with for Sunday. The other bridesmaids have basically been NO help to my sister, so my mom and I are trying to help her out a bit. I'm not sure exactly what my plan is just yet, but hopefully this cake won't come out looking terrible!! I'm going to be trying to match a very specific green color for part of the cake, and hopefully the 2 shades of green food coloring I bought will work. I still need to buy the actual cake mix and frosting still. I have a plan and a picture of the cake in my head, I just hope I can execute. Doing it from home is a lot harder than doing it at work. I need more equipment here!!
Okay, well that was very all over the place, but I'm trying to actually find time to update and Meredith is starting to crank and Logan is about to head to bed. So hopefully that all made sense.
