A Low Key Labor Day Weekend

I love a three day weekend! With three glorious days off from work, we had a few events planned out but we actually ended up skipping out on two parties because we just felt like keeping the weekend low key. 

Friday night started it all with a fantasy draft party at Brittni and Stephen's house. We had a great time choosing our teams (Yes I have GRONK again!) and hanging out together. We had a couple babies this year which made the experience quite different but it was a fun time all around.

On Saturday Tim headed off golfing while I slept in and then headed to the laundromat. Later in the afternoon Brittni asked us if we wanted to join her, Stephen, Kylee and Emma for a walk in Crescent Park where they had heard was great for Pokemon hunting.

Emma didn't need any Pokemon since she had her red panda stuffed animal :)

We had a great time walking around...

I also think I'm obsessed with taking pictures of Emma- she is just so photogenic!

Even her stink faces are adorable!

After walking around the park we headed to Dave and Busters for dinner and then Tim and I headed home so he could complete his fantasy draft online.

We also finally added some new lamps in our living room! There's still so much to do in our home!

On Sunday and Monday we did some shopping both days. I have quite a few Christmas items put away, was able to buy a ton of baby shower items, and even went home with a few things for myself :)

Yes, he is as cool as he appears in this picture ;)

My low-key weekend outfit of choice. Lauren Conrad leggings and a new shirt from old Navy. Super comfy!

My big purchase for this weekend was updating my wallet. The Kate Spade on the left has been with me for two years and has been through hell! It's falling apart and when the pull on the zipper ripped apart that's when I set my mind on a new wallet. Michael Kors it is :)

How was your holiday weekend?!

Life Lately: Summer Weekend Fun!

Oh it's always great once the weekend comes around here. I've been working a lot of Saturdays recently doing some overtime but we have been enjoying the last few weekends of summer as much as we can around here. 

We started our Friday night with a trip up to Pawtucket, after finding out we didn't actually need to be up there we ended up stopping by Slater Park and looking for some Pokemon! While walking around I received a text from Brittni asking if we wanted to meet her, Stephen, and Emma in Oakland Beach for some more Pokemon hunting. 

We headed to Oakland Beach and arrived a few minutes early just as the sun was setting.

After walking around for awhile and entertaining Emma with funny faces and noises we settled down for dinner at Iggys. If you've never been to Rhode Island and had Iggy's before you should definitely stop by for a doughboy...and if you have no idea what a doughboy is you are seriously missing out.

We had a great time and were in bed pretty early since I was working nice and early Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon consisted of laying on the couch since we had a big night ahead of us. Un-pictured we ate dinner at The Haversham for my grammy's 75th birthday and then headed off to Fred's birthday party later that night.

I haven't been too great at taking pictures lately, something I need to get better at again!

Sunday however I have a few pictures to share! We spent the day kayaking with Tim's family on Wood River. There were eleven of us; two double kayaks, four single kayaks, and one canoe. It was quite the trip!

Tim's sister Brittany and her puppy Attie shared a kayak for half the trip and then Attie shared with Brit's boyfriend Justin for the second half. Attie loves kayaking!

Tim's nephews Callan and Kason had a blast swimming around when we stopped. They loved floating around in their lifejackets and the river was so calm and shallow they were able to move around easily!

We also stopped at a rope swing which quite a few of the group took a turn on. I prefer to stay inside the kayak and not get covered in river water :)

It was a great day and we had beautiful weather, great company, and nice exercise!

Plus anytime I get to hang around with this guy it's a pretty great time <3


How was your weekend?!

Life Lately: Jenna's 30th Birthday and Pokemon Go

I admit it, I am officially one of those people obsessed with Pokemon Go...

I'm lowering my head in shame as we speak because Tim and I have been playing very often throughout the last week. I do think it's a great game because not only is it fun, it involves seeing different places and getting out and moving. We have taken a bunch of walks outside lately which we normally would avoid in this heat but the game has forced us to get moving!

On Friday night after work we met up with Brittni, Stephen and Emma in Wilcox Park to catch some Pokemon. It was a bit of a drive to get down there but worth it since there were so many new and different Pokemon. Also we were able to spend time with our friends and our favorite baby!

Saturday I spent a good part of the day cleaning, doing laundry, and getting stuff done around the apartment while Tim went golfing. Then we headed up to northern Rhode Island for our friend Jenna's 30th Birthday!

(Photo stolen from my friend Brittni since the only pictures I took were of Emma!)

It was fun to hang out with my trivia friends outside of trivia, play with the baby and chat about what everyone is up to!

I've said it before but Emma absolutely LOVES Tim. It is so adorable to watch her with him. She just stares at him non-stop, thinks he's hilarious and always seems content when he holds her. It's so cute :)

She's not as fascinated with me, but she did enjoy pulling my hair for awhile :)

We had a great afternoon! After the party we headed down to Roger Williams Park to hit some Pokestops and see what we could catch. We were pretty disappointed as we walked around with Brittni, her mom Sue, sister Kylee, and of course Emma because there were no new Pokemon anywhere around. We did get out and walked quite a bit though and I was able to reach my step goal on my new Fitbit (review coming soon!)

Now it's Sunday and besides hunting Pokemon and eating we haven't done too much which is just the way I like it! Sitting here and blogging while Tim plays video games is a perfect Sunday afternoon. It's nice to get a little rest since every weekend seems to be jam packed with events! I'm excited because I only have a three day week and then we are taking a mini trip!

Just a few Pokemon pictures from this morning.

When your boyfirend takes over a gym...

I hatched an egg and this came out of it...

Tim was super jealous because apparently it's his favorite one. I don't know anything about Pokemon but I'm thrilled to catch everyone I can!

Hope you are enjoying what's left of your weekend! Thanks for stopping by :)
