Our Weekend

Monday, November 12, 2012

We had a great weekend! 
Friday night we had a low-key night at home and watched the new Spider-man movie...not impressed, but oh well. It was nice to just be home and not have anything planned.
Saturday I met mom in Little Rock to do some maternity clothes shopping.  I'm excited to not have to work so hard to find something to wear in the mornings.  I was excited to spend some time with my mom.  Sometimes when we go to Fayetteville it's hard to find the one-on-one time. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Red Lobster!

Sean enjoyed a little time to himself as well.  He was able to go to The Home Depot without me asking when  can we leave.  He's been working on frames for some pictures that we've had printed for about a year.  They  are turning out fabulous!

Sunday Candi and I drove around town to the Christmas open houses around town.  We got some good gift ideas and hopefully I'll win a gift certificate to one store.  It also gave me some time with this little fella'!

I think I'll be investing in a body pillow very soon!
Sleep: I'm still sleeping great at night!
