Weekend Bliss

Weekends are usually very busy for us. Shopping, Cleaning, Errands and trying to knock some things off my never ending To-Do List. This weekend was not much different, but to be honest, if it was any different I would not be able to enjoy it. I just love getting things done, call me crazy.
We started by bringing Katie's Car to get serviced, followed by a visit to Costco (looove that place!), Carwash for me and an early lunch, where I got this disgusting Diet Coke (see picture below german version):

Wochenenden sind meistens ziemlich hektisch fuer uns. Einkaufen, putzen, Besorgungen und der Versuch ein paar Dinge von meiner nie endenden "To Do" Liste zu streichen. Dieses Wochenende war nicht viel anders, aber um ehrlich zu sein, wuerde es anders sein wuerde ich es vermutlich nicht geniessen koennen. I liebe es einfach, Dinge zu erledigen, nenn mich verrueckt.
Es fing damit an, dass wir Katie's Auto zur Werkstatt brachten, danach ein Besuch bei Costco (liebe das Geschaeft!), mein Auto wurde gewaschen und ein fruehes Mittagessen, wo ich diese ekelige Cola Light bekam:
Seriously? Lemon Crap on the sides of the glass and FOUR floating leaves that could not be identified? What the heck? How can you not see all this when you fill the glass? Although it was pretty gross and we complained, we did crack up a lot over it.
After lunch we went to another one of my favorites: Target (who doesn't love Target?), where I scored these Halloween Salt and Pepper Shakers for $5 (picture again below under german version):

Wirklich? Zitronenzeug an den Seiten des Glasses und VIER schwimmende Blaetter, die wir nicht identifizieren konnten. Was zum Teufel? Wie kann man das bitte uebersehen wenn man das Glas fuellt? Obwohl es ziemlich ekelig war und wir uns beschwert haben, haben wir auch sehr drueber gelacht.
Nach dem Mittagessen sind wir zu einem meiner anderen Lieblingsgeschaefte gegangen: Target (wer liebt denn nicht Target?), wo ich diese Halloween Salz und Pfeffer Streuer fuer $5 abgestaubt habe:
I'm looking forward to dig out all of our Halloween decorations and adding some things to our small collection.

Ich freue mich schon darauf, unsere Halloween Dekorationen rauszukramen und ein paar neue Dinge zu unserer kleinen Sammlung hinzuzufuegen.


At home I had to work for a few hours and Cosie kept me company...he actually tried to lay his head on the keyboard!

Zuhause musste ich ein paar Stunden arbeiten und Cosie hat mir Gesellschaft geleistet... er hat sogar versucht seinen Kopf auf die Tastatur zu legen!




The night ended with Dinner at Macaroni Grill and a movie with Katie's Mom. We watched "Easy A" and although I thought it would be a stupid Highschool Movie, it was the funniest movie I've seen all year. I laughed so hard that I cried, it was dang funny. Love this part of the movie (totally see myself doing this when no one is watching:)):





Die Nacht endete mit einem Abendesen bei Macaroni Grill und einem Kinobesuch mit Katie's Mutter. Wir haben "Easy A" gesehen und obwohl ich dachte, es waere ein bloeder Highschool Film, war es der lustigste Film den ich im ganzen Jahr gesehen habe. Ich habe so sehr gelacht, dass ich Lachtraenen hatte, es war so witzig. Ich liebe diesen Teil des Films (ich kann mir genau vorstellen wie ich das machen wuerde, wenn keiner zuguckt:)):
Today we went to the Women's Expo where we saw Kirstie Alley. We love her show and it was pretty fun.

Heute sind wir zur Women's Expo gefahren, wo wir Kirstie Alley gesehen haben. Wir lieben ihre Show, von daher fand ich es ziemlich gut.
And after we were finished cleaning the house, I made Mushroom Risotto, which turned out great.

Und nachdem wir mit dem Hausputz fertig waren, habe ich Risotto mit Pilzen gemacht, was richtig lecker war.
Now, it's time to relax and watch some of my favorite Shows. Busy week ahead of me... but what a great weekend!

Nun ist es Zeit zum relaxen und ein paar von meinem Lieblingssendungen zu gucken. Stressige Woche liegt vor mir... aber was fuer ein tolles Wochenende!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
