A Princess, Thugs and Crawfish

Happy President's Day. If you are off, yay! If you are not, boo!

Just giving a fair warning, it looks as though I am on a random kick again. It was only fitting because, well, that's exactly what my weekend was...

Let's begin with an #ootd since I seem to gravitate toward the fashion side of things.

I wore this on Friday. I labeled it "golden and gingham". Like what ya see? You can find it here, here, here and an option here.

My youngest turned 5 years old last week. My sweet baby is no longer a "toddler", so we thought an induction into princess hood would be appropriate. Her and fellow inductees gathered at 6:00 PM sharp for an evening of pamper, fashion, Chick-fil-A nuggets, gifts, glitter, pink lemonade and cake. If you live in Round Rock and a have a princess of your own, My Party Palace, is the place to be for a birthday. I mean, look at this place. In Landry's words, "This was the BEST party of my life!"

Saturday I had the privilege of helping a client friend prepare her outfits for upcoming engagement portraits. This is one of the three outfits we put together. We also hit up a few shops for some additional accessories. How cute hot is she gonna look in this? Thanks, Shannon, I had so much fun!

 

Here is where is gets kinda CRAZY. As I was driving home, feeling horrible from allergies and wanting only a hot bath, jammy jams and my couch, I got a call from a friend saying there is a massive manhunt in our hood. I immediately called Ross to make sure they were in the house, safe and sound. I rushed home and met a policeman with his big A sniper rifle on my street. He proceeded to tell me to get home, lock the doors and don't go outside. Apparently, two men broke into a local business, stole two loaded handguns and ran right through the path of where we live. Helicopters, K-9 dogs, po-po everywhere and neighbors freaking out. That's what went down. And guess what? These two thug trolls never got caught. I am sure they are far into Mexico by now. Another eventful day in the neighborhood..."won't you be my neighbor...won't you please...won't you please...?" Anyone old enough to remember that tune?

 

After calming down from the thug troll commotion, Logan, my oldest passed out from anxiety, Ross did some work in the garage and me, well, I went with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." One of my top 10 favorite movies, some mommy juice, a face mask, nacho cheese popcorn, Matthew McConaughay and a little ginger monkey by my side was just what the doctor ordered. I swear that movie gets me every single time...maybe it's Matthew, maybe it's the "love" fern or maybe it's the sappiest, cutest romantic comedy of all time. I don't know. I just know that I Benny Boo Boo Boo  can "frost" himself on my TV screen any time. 

Then came Sunday, a day of rest, sort of. I woke up with Mr. Sniffles again (refer to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and declared that the BIG girl panties needed to be pulled on. We made our way to church for a solid and hard truth sermon on marriage, had a nice Mexican food brunch, tackled some yard work (enter killer allergies again), a jeep ride and a crawfish feast. It was a rest, God, eat, rest, work, rest, eat and rest again kinda Sunday. Now if I could only get rid of Mr. Sniffles (aka cedar fever) and this nasty raw nose of mine. Life sure would be more pleasant.

That's all I got. What happened in your world this weekend? I hope it didn't include a runny nose, troll thugs or K-9 dogs.
