While They Were Away

While the boys were away, Derek and I found quite a bit to do to stay busy!  It was perfect timing in getting ready for the baby and working on extra projects.  I started with quite a to-do list and knocked it off it great time!  I also used the kid-free days for "me time" and do things like browse Hobby Lobby while sipping coffee.  :)

We also fit a in a couple dates, once trying out a local place that served water in a cute mason jar.

Then went to see a movie.  Something we don't usually choose for date night if we have a sitter, but with a whole week kid-free, it was a fun treat!

We (as in Derek) also spent a lot of some time updating the bathroom.

And prepping for to put in the freezer for after the baby is born.

There were other fun things...  like a Life Group fishing night.

Which the boys were pretty upset they were missing out on!

They enjoy their LG friend a lot and were bummed to miss the fun.

Especially after I sent them a picture of my catch.  Ha.

I did some baby laundry and packed a hospital bag.

And we really had a blast when we drove to the local carwash that has free vacuums to clean out the cars!  Adulting is super fun.  

I also took a little "me-time" to check out our neighborhood Farmer's Market.

And one night a group of my friends took me out for dinner and showered me with some fun little gifts. (How did I not get a photo?!)  This gift proves I have some friends that understand the last weeks of pregnancy. :)

Derek and I also snuck over to this little food truck near our house one night.

Where we enjoyed yummy crepes!

And snuck in one last lunch/brunch after church on Sunday before the boys came home.

(this is Derek's smoked salmon eggs Benedict)

Along with yet another trip to the hardware store...

Adulting.
