a girls weekend

This past weekend, my mom, Grace and I took off for our annual weekend getaway. We always have a great time, but I must say having Grace in the mix sure makes for some belly laugh fits!

First, the simple things...like spinning Noonie around a hotel chair

Climbing on another chair to reach the light switch Going to breakfast (lovie included) Stopping to look for and smell the (pink) flowers Taking a little break during our antiquing day Loving all the sidewalk decorations Okay, I think I've had my fill of antiques store - let's do something FUN! Chuck E. Cheese to the rescue Giddy up horsey! It's an ELEPHANT!!! (we seem to have a mild obsession with elephants these days :) This way is much more fun! Riding the big horsey all by myself for the first time Hmmm...I kind of like keeping Noonie's on my side, that way I can win for sure! Of course, we had to make a stop at the zoo! Check out my little birdie friend!! So proud! Our trip has changed in many ways over the years, but no matter what, we always have the best time! It's great to get away from everyday life and just enjoy each other's company. Thank you, Noonie!

And while we were away... Yup, Lance was busy putting together Hudson's crib! Thanks, hon! The bedding looks nice against the dark espresso finish of the crib. And although I failed the 1-hr. glucose test by a few points, I did pass the 3-hr. test "with flying colors" according to my doc. So no gestational diabetes for me - yeaaa!!

Good thing, because we indulged in a lot of this during our trip: Chocolate chip cookie pie - yum! Okay, off to have fun dyeing Easter eggs!
