Oops, I did it again...

{Please tell me you started singing Brittney right there?!}

Ugh, said I wasn't going to go another week and not do a post or two in between InstaFriday posts, but I just can't keep up right now.  Yearbook deadline and grades are both due today, before we live for Spring Break, and between that and a wedding to edit, my iPhone is the only thing that keeps me connected to the outside world I guess?!  So happy that I have it, it is always so much fun to reflect on what we did!

On Friday my pants wouldn't stay zipped to save my life!  No worries, my black tank top layered under my t-shirt saved the day and no one ever noticed {or at least they didn't say anything to me if they did!?}.  Dinner for Kyan was Burger King, he LOVES their seeded buns and the new crowns that come with their kid meals, while I indulged in a glass of wine for dinner!  This Moscato D'Asti wine happened to be the first bottle of wine that I have ever purchased that I planned on drinking myself!  I enjoyed every last drop of it.

On Saturday I worked from sun up to sun down, but found myself with a little bit of me time sprinkled in there too!  Left my babies in their pj's and returned to them in a different pair.  Daddy held down the fort so that I could work.  On the camera?  A wedding and a family reunion all in one day!  The wedding took place in Cave Creek, not anywhere close to home, but close to where Brion now rests.  I was running very early and stopped off to say a prayer before the day even began.  It was one of the best starts of my days in a really long time.  In between the wedding and the reunion, I was also able to sneak to my girlfriend, Candis', house, where we relaxed by the pool and caught up on life.  When I got home from work and after I tucked the kids into bed, I spoiled myself to a nice hot bath {with a glass of my new wine of course}!

On Sunday, I made sure to spend the entire day as a family, especially since I had been go all of Saturday!  Lola and I started off at the grocery store shopping for the week, in our pj's!  I braided her hair later in the morning, but was only willing to show you one of the two sides!  The other one didn't look as pretty, but she loves it like that so I will just continue to practice!  I went on the hunt for Skylanders figures for Kyan's new game - I have become obsessed over them actually!  As soon as I figured out how hard they are to find, I have made it my personal mission to find every single one!  I gave Lola a mani/pedi, only to have it chip off an hour later!  I need to do a bottom color and then the glitter on top {I even knew that going in} but was lazy and just went straight for the glitter?!  We watched TV Sunday night as a family, two weeks in a row watching Hillbilly Handfishin'!  Chad says he can't believe there is actually a show about this on TV and then he continues to say that he really can't believe we are watching it!  Have you ever seen it?  So gross, but so...so...I don't know, but can't stop watching!  The kids must have missed me a lot, because they ended up in our room, snuggled on the floor together, in the middle of the night at some point!  They looked to adorable to move back.

Monday I went on a bike ride with kids after work.  Lola made it around the block twice and then went in to watch cartoons!  Kyan and I rode all through the neighborhood for another 30 minutes or so!  Then, I began to edit photos from the weekend and started with my favorite picture of the day!

I had been anticipating this Tuesday since I ordered my new case from Uncommon last week.  When I opened it, I had hearts in my eyes, I loved it...but then turned it to see the front and realized that the ring around it is black, not white and doesn't go with my white iPhone at all.  How did I miss this?  I thought the design wrapped all the way around.  I jumped on their website to check to see if I missed an option, but turns out, I didn't pay attention.  It is clearly black and that is the only way it comes!  Wouldn't be so bad if the design had a little black in it, but it doesn't!  That or I am just way too picky?!  Because it is a custom case, it can't be returned.  However, I was able to find a friend, who owns a black iPhone, that is going to buy it from me.  I now get to drool over her case and am on the hunt again for a new one.  Uncommon has great customer service and if they ever change options and make a white front available, I would absolutely order from them again!

It was cold on Wednesday, but because it was Spirit Week last week at school, I skipped Dress Wednesday with the girls, and knew if I skipped again I would be in trouble...so I wore another long dress, jacked from my mama's closet!  I was excited to see that one hanging in there, she never wears maxi dresses and I knew that would be any easy one to score!  I realized about half way through the day that the price tag was still on it!  So itchy!!!  The emergency clutch came in handy once again when one of my students got red pen on her skirt {yes, skirts are allowed on Dress Wednesdays too}!  She knew about all of the life saving items in it for a girl and was able to put it to good use!  Wednesday also marked the first day of baseball practice for Kyan!  He is so excited to be playing on a team this time around where most of the boys that play with him attend his school!

While looking through Lola's folder before school on Thursday, I saw the picture she drew of her and Justin Bieber!  Girl has the fever like no other!  I also finally got around to hanging the Spring Door Decor  when I got off of work and was excited to see that it made it through the year {so delicate with the branches and birds and eggs, I was kinda worried}!  Remember when I was complaining about having grades and yearbook and editing to do?!  Well, I soooooo should have been doing that instead of playing around with my silhouette, but I couldn't help it.  I had a need to CREATE and hope that I can pull off what I started - but I promised myself everything had to be done that concerned school before I could do anything.  That and I have until March 31st to make it happen!  So I saved my page and then posted my grades.  Now I only have to finish yearbook and I will be good to go!

We ended our week with armpit farts!  It was awesome and the kids giggled like crazy!

Happy Friday!
