When you don’t get a weekend recap post up until Tuesday…it means it was a really good weekend 🙂
Considering I have exactly ten favorite pictures from Friday-Sunday, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to join in on Karli’s new Ten on Tuesday linkup. So here’s a little peek into our weekend via my iPhone…
1. Dear every other pair of shoes I own: see ya. I finally snagged some Birkenstocks on Friday…and I’m probably never going to take them off. So comfy!!!!
2. Arden bounced out of bed Saturday morning when she realized it was “soccer day”! Growing up I spent almost every Saturday at the soccer fields…but I’m sure I never looked quite this cute.
3. Remember how I said Arden loves to celebrate when she scores a goal? She’s a happy little leprechaun, isn’t she?!? 😉
4. Lucky Arden got to have 3 of her favorite people in the crowd this week: her cousin Maren, Gigi, and Papa. She told me before the game that she couldn’t wait to show them her “skills”.
5. Okay, enough about soccer (I told you I want to be a soccer mom!) Saturday afternoon we went to a wedding shower for my cousin and his fiance. I loved all the decor that another cousin’s wife put together…especially this sign. She’s crazy creative and her hand-lettering skills just amaze me!
6. Saturday night we went to dinner with my family…Mexican, of course! My dad asked the waiters to surprise Chris with a birthday song and a tequila shot…and Nash was completely unsure of the entire situation. I just love his little face in this one!
7. He definitely preferred to wear the sombrero himself. Also, we found out that he’s quite passionate about sour cream and guacamole. Oh señor Nash…
8. The past couple of months I’ve been planning a little surprise for Chris’ 31st birthday. As hard as it was to keep the secret, it was totally worth it when I got to tell him that we were heading downtown to break out of some rooms with 14 of our friends 😉
9. Breakout KC was so. much. fun. If you haven’t heard of the concept, you’re basically given 60 minutes to solve riddles, crack codes, and work together to find your way out of an escape room. Our room made it out in 48 minutes and the other group was just one clue away from breaking out. I can’t wait to do it again!!!
Thanks to these great friends for joining us and making Chris’ birthday celebration one to remember! And thank you Gigi & Papa for holding down the fort for us back home 😉
10. My adrenaline was still pumping later that night, so after we put the kids in bed I decided to start painting our little mudroom shiplap project. I can’t wait to share the finished product soon!!!
Have a great day, friends!
Your weekend sounds just great! That breakout room sounds so neat! I’ll have to see if they have something like that in Milwaukee. I’m waiting patiently {okay, not really} for our summer rec program schedule to come out. It was supposed to come out last week, then yesterday & it still isn’t out. Hopefully soon!
I played soccer for 12 years and cannot WAIT to get Gracyn signed up! I hope she has as much fun as Arden appears to be having! She’s adorable! 🙂
I love your take on Ten on Tuesday! I’ve been meaning to join that link-up for weeks now, but it has yet to happen! Sunday was fun! Thanks to Chris for turning another year older so us adults could enjoy a fun afternoon out of the ‘burbs! 🙂
Yep, Arden is the cutest soccer player ever!!! And Breakiut sounds so cool! What an awesome birthday surprise!
We did the Breakout thing for my hubs’ b-day this year too! Sadly, we did not come close to breaking out. It was way cooler (and harder) than I expected and I want to go back. Oh, and your kids are seriously so cute (as always) 🙂
I love Nash wearing the sombrero!! And I really want to do the breakout KC thing. I hope I can someday!
Can’t wait to see how the shiplap turns out! What a big crew you had for the birthday celebration!
The soccer pics are just the cutest. Loooove the sombrero hat stare, so cute. And fuuuun surprise. That’s a great idea. We have some in Orlando. I bet my Chris would dig it.
She is so adorable in her soccer gear!
Arden celebrating is so adorable! Love her enthusiasm. Nash in the sombrero is awesome!! He looks so happy about it too. You guys had such a great weekend. Yay!!
Sounds fun. Love the Birks, my fave! That breakout thing sounds super fun! Arden’s soccer pics are the best 🙂
I have the same birks! I bought them last summer when I needed something comfy for my preggo feet…my Jr High self is very jealous 😉
This is too cute! what a great post idea 🙂
That bridal shower sign is amazing! I like to think I have nice handwriting but man some people are just artists! And I’m loving the enthusiasm over soccer… So stinking cute!!!
Happy little leprechaun. Omg!! So so cute.
Breakout sounds so fun! I would love to give that a try sometime.
And shiplap!! YAYYYYYY
Such a fun weekend. I love the sorority post in the breakout picture. We’ve been wanting to do that with our friends, I’m going to make sure we get it on the calendar now!
Arden sure knows how to celebrate, and Nash is such a cutie in that sombrero! What baby doesn’t need a picture in a sombrero?!:)
Nash in that sombrero…framer for sure! He is such a dude. I have been wanting to do one of those escape the room events. I will have to add it to our date night plan for sure now!
Arden is the cutest soccer player in the history of ever!!
My sister-in-law and her husband did Breakout KC and they RAVED about it! I want to do it so bad! I’m going to see if I can’t convince Scott we need to do it our next trip home.
