woohoo for the wonder of my weekend.

THAT was a stretch. honestly.

but sometimes for post titles a stretch is necessary. If you haven't noticed , I have a fondness for alliteration. just roll with it. just another thing about my blog i should add to my disclaimer. that and my penchant for making up my own words to suit my mood or describe something accurately to myself and to others. so there. disclaimer stated. let it be written , let it be done. (i don't know where the heck that came from but I'm using it.)

highlights of the weekend:

Bunko at Alicia's ! whoohoo my fab sister in law did awesome her first time hostessing. the food was FABULOUS! my brother has mad skills at smoking meat. we had some amazing pulled pork over rice with some special rice sauce, and teriyaki sauces.
there was even a Dr. Pepper fountain. provided by JEN! it was HILARIOUS!

my losing streak is still going strong. and i got a door prize it was totally cute, i need to find a spot to hang it. Andrea hung hers up. and mine is the same. if you wanted to see it.

it was a FABULOUS night out. with late night chatting , and we even had bonus kids when i got home. Lance and Aaron(my fave brother) hung out with the kids while Alicia and I bunkoed. so they went to Mcdonalds to play and eat and hung out here . of course kids were thrilled to spend the night.

this morning Lance made waffles and fed kids. while i showered.

i went shopping with my in laws (mother and sister) today to SAVERS! and they had Halloween out already. we all used a coupon together for 50% off a $100 or more. no problem there! i got a ton of stuff for Liberty, including a couple FAAANNCCYY dance costumes. I'll take pictures they were FABULOUS! and she is going to wear one for Halloween.

i came home and took a nap on the couch for awhile and then moved up to my bed for a better nap. i was TIRED. i didn't go to bed until 4 am last night. and got up earlier than normal (for a weekend) this morning.

i got up, had dinner with the family . and i finally put the kids to bed at almost 10. so much for having a schedule. ridiculous.

and after that i had to hit Walmart for some basics to survive Sunday, and Monday here. you know soda and milk and peanut butta! BASIC basics. oh and ya know some notions too. like a sparkle button, for Liberty's bag embellishing. and a silver FABULOUS word. for important things like , Ummm, her bag again. really basic and important. of course.
and Candy. Lance needed candy. and bonus i ran into Susan, who is Brooke and Paige's mom.
and she reminded me about the excitement that is BLACK FRIDAY(a shopping extravaganza the day after thanksgiving)! the highlight of my year! yup! I'm getting excited. how about you?

so that's my weekend thus far.

my fave friend Lindsey posted about me in " the leave me a memory comment "memory lane post. here. go ahead and see what kind of friend i am. i was pretty stoked about my own post. i love Lindsey. did you know she is the one that started me blogging? YES. SHE. DID. you should thank her.

so that's it. whoohoo for the wonder that was my weekend.


i hope yours was full of wonder too!

*EDIT: I figured out where the "so shall it be written, so shall it be done." most normal people (Lance) would recall it came from "The Ten Commandments." BUT NO! not in this mom's brain. i JUST REMEMBERED i heard it on an episode of Disney's "Recess". Oh yeah cartoons! i am genius. it's 3:20 in. Pharaoh Bob. and his legacy of a thousand semesters. the mud pyramid.

I was supposed to run to Walmart too, but I was too tired. How do you stay up so late? I left lots earlier than you and I was still tired. I'm so old.

Devri said...

Glad you had a wonderful weekend, and that mirror is so cute!

AutoSysGene said...

Sounds like you've had a crazy busy weekend, me too!!

Whooo, I'm going to need to sleep for a week to get over it! ;)

Pop is DEFINITELY a weekend basic.

And Black Friday is one of my 1st posts from your blog I read. Hilarious.

Since Lance needed his candy to survive, I'm wondering what his fav is. Just curious.

Savers has halloween ALREADY??? I need to get with the program. What are your kids dressing up as? Email me so I can copy hahahaha

I'm sorry you are on a losing steak at Bunco... me too! But I have to tell you I played BINGO last night and when I got Bingo I freaked out and made the guy calling the numbers almost fall out of his seat... I was a little excited! SO... fabulous find at Savers. I need to learn how to thrift shop better.

KaraLyn said...

oops... "a losing steak"... hum I must be hungry. I meant a losing streak! Heehee!

Jamie said...

Yeah for Bunko, fun finds at Savers, extra sleep, Walmart and all the other crazy things you got done. I can not imagine being up late. My body retalliates. It's not worth it most the time.

First, you are not the only one to find meaningful quotes in cartoons.: )

Second, I've been a horrible bloggy friend lately! Sorry I haven't been around much!

I'm salivating in anticipation of black friday!
I've never been to savors. I've heard it is awesome!
Hey loser or not, a prize is a prize! I had one lady tell me she wanted me banned from our bunko group in Utah cause I kept winning! Sore loser!

Kristen said...

Losing streak...haha. I got one of first prizes only because I had the lowest score! You sure are a fun loser, though. Thanks for the giggling fit and for introducing me to your fun blog (oops, I originally wrote blob). And Black Friday FREAKS. ME. OUT. How do you do it??? Just the thought of the crazy ladies running around at 5 a.m., losing their minds over all the great deals makes my head spin, my stomach tighten up (wait, maybe that's a good thing) and my eyelashes fall out. Hope you have tons of fun though!

How on earth do you have the energy to stay up until 4am? Last night I was in bed at 8:08PM and slept happily until 6am! I *heart* sleep!
