just the four of us.

i went about my weekend with half of my heart missing. my hubby flew out to chicago this weekend, so it was just me and the kiddos slumming it and missing him tons. but we managed to squeeze in some highlights.

saturday after morning service, i grabbed my baby sis and snapped some senior pictures. taking senior pictures have come a long way from when i was in high school. you must remember the cliche one, sitting next to a life size graduation year number with a cheesy pose.
sunday, we headed out for some grocery shopping, because a family of five tends to get hungry every now and then and things get ugly when said family is not fed. out by my area i encountered a mob of cyclist riding for the Austin Autism Bike Ride event. it was pretty cool to watch, especially after the Boston happenings. riding for a good cause without fear of the unknown possibilities. athletes rock!
afterwards, we ventured out to the theater to watch The Croods. cute movie. the kids enjoyed it and i grabbed the greatest mom award, if only for a few hours before it was taken away by denying ice cream before dinner. you win some, you lose some. eh.

i managed to plant a few flowers in my walkway to look a little more desirable and hopefully sway the sun to finally stay AND i managed to tend to the unruly mop on top of my head. sister needed a trim badly.
now we are just awaiting the arrival of my baby daddy later today. not too shabby of a weekend.
how was your weekend? and on that note, have an awesome monday!!

Wow, yes. Senior pictures HAVE come a long way! Luckily, I met an amazing photographer who took mine outside in her backyard and they turned out great... but it is funny to look back on my older sister's grad photos.. posed with the giant year numbers and all :)

Goodness yes. Why couldn't our generation of senior pictures been as good as they are now? Mine are down right embarrassing.

so funny about the senior photos and so true!

ditto on the hungry family it is like that slang:

hangry: angry words spoken out of hunger ;)
