Happy Monday everyone! It was a beautiful fall weekend here and we enjoyed every second of it! After feeling like this most of last week…
(so pitiful) Maxwell was finally back to his happy self by Saturday morning. hooray! Maybe it has something to do with the awesome bed head he woke up with that morning?
Ha! I think it probably had more to do with the fun birthday party we got to go to that day! Maxwell’s friend, Smith, turned 1 and there was lots of celebrating to do, including some bounce housing! Yep, Maxwell got to jump in a bounce house for the 2nd time in only a few weeks. Lucky boy!
And lucky for Momma that this time Dad was the one that got in with him! 🙂 Maxwell LOVED it…
especially when Dad double bounced him!
There were smiles and giggles all around.
Maxwell had so much fun at the party, mostly because it meant he got to play with someone else’s toys!
This was the cute cake – a lion cupcake cake. Adorable!
That afternoon I ventured out to Jo-Ann Fabrics and Hancock…and I will NEVER return. I mean wow. It was like torture having to spend any time in either of them. The fabrics were terrible too. Where do you find cute fabrics these days?? Anyone have ideas? I just want some cute fabrics for making applique t-shirts. Just some nice ginghams and stripes…is that too much to ask? Apparently so. If you’ve got any ideas of decent fabric sources, would love to hear them in the comments.
Later that day we made a spontaneous trip to the outlet mall and scored pretty big at the Polo store. Baby Polo shirts 30% off! awesome! We also did pretty well at the Nike outlet with some new workout clothes. You always work out harder when you look the part, right?
On our drive home the sky was literally glowing pink….
My phone picture obviously doesn’t do it justice. It was gorgeous.
Sunday we went to church and then over to Whole Foods to order our Thanksgiving turkey! gobble gobble! I’m cooking for a small group of family this year and am excited to test out all of my mom’s recipes! yum!
It was a great weekend. Here’s to a great week ahead!
That is some major bed hair!!! Love the turkey outfit! Looks like a fun week-end!
What a fun weekend! Bouncy houses sure are popular in Birmingham! 🙂
I have some friends that buy fabric on-line because they have said stores don’t have anything cute. I can ask where if you’d like.
You forgot to mention how much fun Dad had picking up leaves in the backyard.
For more fabric options check out King Cotton on Greensprings Highway. They have a pretty good selection. Better than JoAnn’s or Hancock’s at least!
that bedhead is HILAROUS! love that! And I got some fabrics at JoAnn, but they were in the nursery section and everything else was terrible. But I did come home with both ginghams and stripes among other things. I also look at fabrics.com a lot. HOWever, I got Savannah’s nursery fabric on http://www.newarrivalsinc.com and they sell it by the yard. A lot of the stripes and ginghams are not expensive, though, as they appear to be having a big sale. Just click bedding and fabric, then fabrics by the yard, then select the color family you want to have. happy shopping!
