This Weekend, I...

My weekend started out bright and early on Saturday morning with a 9am football game that Chloe cheered for.  She beckoned me down from the stands during one of their breaks to request a licorice rope during halftime.

That kid always has sugar on the brain!


Later on that day, I headed over to my sister Heather's house, where I got ready for our Girls' Night!! For the last few weeks, we've been planning a night out with our older sister, Jen, our nephew's mom, Alysse, and our sister-in-law's sister, Des...Are you confused yet?  It's ok, you don't really need to know all that.  You just need to know that we had an amazing time!

Heather and me, after managing to get ready in between cleaning up pit bull puppy pee & poo.

We started out with some grub at The Wilde Rover in Kirkland, a really fun Irish pub.  I had the best potato soup ever!  I've been dreaming about it every since.


From there we walked around town and checked out a few different bars.  I really haven't spent much time in downtown Kirkland since I was a lot younger, but for the most part, nothing had changed!  Except for the feeling of being older than most of the people there.  (Let's all take a moment to mourn the loss of my 20's, shall we? *sob*)


When I came home the next morning, I found Chloe bundled up in footsy pajamas, socks, and even a stocking cap, claiming she was chilly.

But not too chilly for a photo shoot!  It's obvious she's the next Gisele.



Link up with Sarah and tell me about your weekend!

xo,
Rachael

    I remember always wanting licorice ropes from the snack shacks. Still my favorite treat. Some things never change!

    That Chloe makes me giggle. Rope licorice and early AM photo shoots. Love it. I too, love a good Girl's Night Out, but I always end up feeling old after! Your makeup looks gorgeous in that photos, especially the last shot before C--Dog's photo shoot.

      Haha she makes me giggle too. I know what you mean about feeling old after a night out. It's like my body can only handle 2 drinks before it shuts down. I used a bunch of my sisters make-up and she's a lot more tan than me. After she saw which foundation I borrowed, she laughed and said "oops I never use that one! I bought it on accident! It's for African-american skin." But hey, whatever works right??
