Where have I been?

I feel like I am falling off the wagon here with blogging. I started this because I really wanted to document my children's lives. I don't know why I find it so hard to sit down and just type out what's going on in our lives. I need to start making this a priority and not let it fall to the waste side. SO... I am going to start blogging every single night for the next month. They say it takes a month to form a good habit, so here it goes...

This past weekend was pretty low-key, which was exactly what we needed. On Saturday Cory let me sleep in! Wahoo!! I can't even remember the last time I was able to sleep in. It felt good. When I finally dragged my lazy butt out of bed I got some Starbucks. Oooh Starbucks - how you make everything so great. (side story: Lexi now says "mommy, do you need some coffee? will that make you better?" HA!) We all got ready. And by ready I mean we all threw something on, brushed our teeth and called it good. Lazy I tell ya. We went to Panera for lunch. My favorite! We realized that we still haven't bought our Halloween costumes yet, so we made it our Saturday mission to find them. It was at Halloween store #3 that we got lucky. Alexis is going to be Jessie and Paxton is going to be Rex from Toy Story. So naturally, Cory and I are going to be Buzz Lightyear and Woody (Alexis is upset that I'm going to be a boy. She thinks I should be Belle. So sweet of her to want me to be a princess!) We came home and put that crabby boy down for a nap, he went down easily. Success! My parents came over a few hours later and picked Alexis up and took her to see Finding Nemo 3D. I've been obsessed with looking at different home decoration projects on Pinterest and really wanted to go to Home Goods. So I brought my 2 favorite men with me (probably the 2 worst people to take shopping...ugh) and I was able to get a couple of things before I started hearing the long sighs of my husband. haha! We hit up Qdoba for dinner. They gave Paxton a balloon, which kept him entertained for a loooong time. Came home and shortly after our lil Alexis came home too. I thought she would have enjoyed the movie more, but she didn't really seem to want to talk at all. I think she was tired. We put the kids to bed and had some alone time. Perfect Saturday. I could really use more of these in my life.

Sunday I had a photoshoot for a friend of mine's family. There was 9 of them, I was nervous. It's hard to direct that many people and to have that many people look at the camera all at the same time. But it was a total success and somewhere during that 2 hour session I got my love for photography back. It's been missing for about 6 weeks and I'm SO happy that it has returned. That afternoon my brother and his fiancé came over and asked all 4 of us to be apart of their wedding, so exciting! I edited a ton of pictures. Took the kids out and took some Fall pictures of them (pictures below) and watched some Breaking Amish (seriously love that show). And then just like that, the weekend is over.

This next week is Fall Break for Alexis' school. All we have is dance and gymnastics. I think we'll be having a laid-back lazy week. It'll be nice not having to wake up early, getting everyone ready and out the door. It will truly be a break and I'm looking forward to it! =)
