Mental Health Weekend

Work has been crazy for me and MS lately - so a few weeks ago we decided to take a long weekend and take a breather.

We started Friday morning with some play time for the boys.



And a coffee treat for the lone girl. I detoured away from the Pumpkin Spice to the land of Salted Caramel Mocha. SCM.


Namath won the battle of the bone.

Spoiler Namath: No one wants that nasty thing but you. 


We headed to the promised land of bouncy seats and bottles armed with my excel spreadsheet and some chocolate covered pretzels. I needed a snack for this process.







I really think the bottle/paci situation was the most confusing of all the gear. I debated the gumdrop vs. regular.


While someone did a close inspection of the video monitors. Isn't he festive in his blue?


After all that time in a baby store, he deserved a cold one at lunch. Note the glazed over eyes. I also had a cold one. A cold Fresca.


To aid the healing process, we went somewhere a little less babyish - Home Depot.



Into our cart went the beginnings of a closet system. MS is excited to put it together.


Saturday we pulled the trigger on a crib. I really, really wanted the gray to work, but the nursery walls are gray, as is the glider and someone needed to stop the madness, lest the nursery look like an elephant's nest. So, we got this crib in white.


We also ventured to test out the new Fresh Market, where they had any baked good you could imagine in pumpkin flavor. #PumpkinTrend.

THEY ALSO HAD AN OLIVE BAR. I felt this was picture worthy.


Lest you think our mental health weekend was anything but, we also did a lot of DVR cleaning, movie watching and junk food eating - and a little exercise.

So, there.

What did me in the first time were the car seats. I think we went back three times before I finally picked one! And I love the sweet crib you picked out!
