EASTER, 40, 9...& THE THIEF WHO RUINED IT ALL | PART 2: OUR SIX FLAGS SAGA (& Small Miracles)

Welcome back to Part 2 of our Six Flags saga!  Ugh. I hate that I even have to type that and honestly, I'm exhausted just thinking about typing out this story it's a crazy one so here goes...

I ended Part 1 of our Easter weekend here yesterday.  As a quick recap, we went to church Sunday morning and then headed out to Six Flags to spend the afternoon and celebrate Mason's 9th and Craig's 40th birthday.  How fun that they share a birthday AND it fell on Easter this year, right?!

We arrived at Six Flags super excited about the day.  The weather was GORGEOUS.  Sunny and 78 degrees with a nice breeze.  And the crowds were small which meant short lines on all our favorite rides!  We didn't expect there to be big crowds on Easter and we were right.

The Beginning

We snapped a picture right before heading in.  Not a care in the world on this beautiful day.

EASTER, 40, 9...& THE THIEF WHO RUINED IT ALL | PART 1

Oh my goodness, girls.  I can't believe I'm saying this but once again, we had a crazy, eventful weekend.  We're typically pretty calm over here...we constantly border on flat out boring.  So 2 crazy weekends in a row is almost unheard of for us. 

Remember last weekend??  If you need a reminder, last weekend we had houseguests, baseball, birthday parties, Craig got baptized, Mason got sick...and then 3 more of us got sick.  (Me, my mom and Craig's aunt.)  It was a wild weekend.

CRAIG'S BAPTISM WEEKEND.

 This weekend was such a special one, friends!  We hosted 4 family members, went to 2 birthday parties, had 1 baseball game, 1 day with nothing but pouring rain, 1 night at Top Golf and 1 BAPTISM!  We packed a lot in and got a lot out!

We kicked off our weekend fun at Nixon's party at our new Urban Air here in Mckinney and that place is OUTSTANDING!  Mason darted away from me the second we got there so I have no pictures but I know Erika has plenty. 

After the party, we headed straight to Matthew's game.  They needed Mason to fill in because they were missing some players so we got to watch both boys play on the same team which is always so fun!  Craig's parents arrived just before we left for the game so they got to see them both play too which was good because...

FRIDAY FAVORITES #92.


Isn't it, though?!

We had a great week that was full of sunshine and HEAT!  It got up to almost 90 a couple of days this week which, in all honesty, was a bit much if you ask me.  (Not that anyone IS asking me.  But, ya know.  This is my blog and I've got to talk about something. 😉 )  This weekend is bringing us back down to the 60s with rain coming Saturday and then next week we'll be back in that upper 70s sweet spot that I love so much.

LIFE LATELY.

Hey there, friends!  Happy Wednesday!  Today it is supposed to get up to 89 degrees here in Mckinney, y'all!  What?!  Yesterday, it was about the same and it was absolutely lovely but I wouldn't be mad if it calmed down a bit.  I'd love to keep it around 75-80 for a while which is my sweet spot.  Those are the temps when you can open all the windows in the house and still be comfortable.  But 89 degrees with the windows open can get hot quick.  

Texas weather predictions--I believe this week is a good example of that!

FRIDAY FAVORITES #91.

I can't believe we're back to Friday Favorites already!  I feel like we were just here!  Which technically we were...just two posts ago.  haha  April and May are so busy for me, friends.  It makes me a pretty crap blogger.  Lots of Etsy orders + tons of baseball stuff = little time to construct a decent blog post.  But I try to get at least two posted a week and this week it was my March Book Review (did ya catch it??) and a few favorites today.

{*Linking up with some of my favorites--Erika, Narci and Andrea!}

Since we're talking Etsy, let's jump right in with this...

I'm doing a little spring cleaning in the shop right now.  Updating pictures, adding new listings and new (adorable) fonts on the font chart.  Sometimes I get so busy filling orders that I don't stop to really go in and see what others are seeing and last week I did...and I got all inspired to spruce it up.

These little confetti tumblers are so stinkin' cute.  Right?!  Perfect for little kids or for grown-ups to use as a fun wine tumbler.  😉 (Nail color is OPI Shorts Story.  My FAVORITE spring/summer polish!)
