Not much is happening...

We had a pretty low key weekend. Friday night we got together with our best friends/neighbors and played Mexican Train until midnight. We always have the best time with them. It's so nice to have great friends, especially ones that live right next door.

Saturday we got up and around and then went to Garden Ridge. Those of you that don't know what Garden Ridge is, it's like a craft store and home decor store. We had ONE mission when going to Garden Ridge. Mission Inflatable Christmas Decoration. What's that you ask? It's this....



During Halloween time there were several houses throughout our neighborhood that had these inflatables in their yards and Macy was infatuated with them. There was one house that had two of them about 5 houses down. Every night we'd have to walk down there to see them. So, I decided for Christmas we were going to buy our own to put in our yard and that way all she'd have to do is go out there to see it. Garden Ridge had them on sale for $59.00. That's cheap folks. They are normally around $125.00. We got to Garden Ridge and started looking at all the ones on display trying to decide which one would be perfect. The girls were oohing and aahing over them all when next thing we know the stock boys are up on the platform DEFLATING them all as people stood below. I'm thinking, What is going on? Luckily, my smart husband realizes that they are now having to sell the displays because that is all that is left. In all the choas, he claims us an inflatable and the world (girls) are happy.
We got home and Macy IMMEDIANTLY wanted in "blowed up". Being a great dad, hubs blows it up in the backyard for the girls to see. Our world was a super happy world.
That evening I went to my neighbors for a Silpada jewlery party. They have such beautiful jewlery. We had a great time (just the girls). After the party a few of us got in the hot tub which felt WONDERFUL since it was about 40 degrees outside. After soaking in there for a hour and a half we went in to watch a scary movie, Dead Silence. It was VERY SCARY!!

Sunday we went to church and then came home and I took a 2.5 hour nap. It felt so good. I love lazy Sunday afternoons. Sunday nights, I teach the kindergarten class so I NEED that nap. HA! We have a lot of fun. Today will be spent catching up on all the laundry that I didn't do this weekend. I don't understand why laundry seems NEVER ENDING. I hope you all have a great week.

Few more pictures of the girls with the inflatable....

Cute post! Your girls are adorable. We too gave in and got a snowman inflatable- last year. My kids loved watching it inflate and it was a BIG deal to have one!
Hope you have a great day!
