28

I had an amazing weekend!  The weather was perfect, and Alex and I spent quality time with our little man.  

Friday, Alex and I took off of work to celebrate my 28th birthday.  I started my day with a massage, we had lunch at my favorite restaurant Perry's Steakhouse (pork chop Friday), and saw Gone Girl all before 5:30pm.  That night I celebrated with friends at The Domain's newest bar, Punch Bowl Social



Saturday, I did some early morning thrifting, and later headed out to the "Touch a Truck" event in Round Rock.  Turner was in heaven.  That night Turner and I went on a little date to Old Navy and Barnes & Noble. Oh the beautiful books! I wanted to buy every Christmas book.





Sunday, Turner had his 1st haircut at a salon (our home buzz cuts aren't the best).  After, we stopped by Lowe's to buy some materials for our next BuiltWell project, then spent a few hours playing outside.  Turner and I "napped" on a picnic blanket in the front yard, and I could not have asked for a prettier day. 




What Turner does when I say, "Touch your toes!"
Did you do anything special this weekend?  I'll be traveling to Chicago early tomorrow morning for 3 days for work, and I'm super excited. I'm not sure I'm ready for the cold weather.

Simple Stripes

As a full time working mom, I'm always looking for comfy clothes that can be dressed up or down.  I spotted this dress at Kohl's on sale for $30, and knew it would be perfect to dress up for work or dress down for a casual weekend (comfy enough to wear while chasing Turner). I went casual here and wore sandals, but I could easily put on a pair of heels and wear it out for date night.
 




Dress: Kohl's

Summer Nights

Lately, Turner has been staying up 2 hours later than usual. Thank you summer time.  This has meant more time we get to spend together after work.  Although, I do miss those extra two hours to do house work or relax. By the time I put him down around 8:30/9pm I'm completely exhausted, and can barely keep my eyes open if I try to read or work on my computer. 

We try to spend as much time outside as possible after dinner. Misquito spray is our best friend.  There are tons of parks in our area, so we try to check out a few a week.  We also take lots of trips to the pool and Lowe's/Home Depot for home improvement projects (Turner's favorite word is lawnmower...he freaks out when he hears or sees one).  I want Turner to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I want him to learn that exercise is important to his overall mental and physical health.  Plus, being outside always makes my day better.



 

Turner saw a bunch of trail runners, so he ran over and started to jog himself. I think he runs faster than me.
