Friday Favorites

This has been a bit of a trying week. We have had a ton going on (and a lot of last minute changes to all those plans) and I am dealing with some annoying issues getting our mailbox replaced... but that's another story. I'm actually really ready for this week to end. We did have some good times too, though and those are important to remember.

Saturday started off with cheering on the Knights. I think we don't even have to discuss how that game turned out... but it wasn't pretty. I'm still a Knights fan though and we will still continue to represent wearing our black and gold.


I also started working on the tutu for Kenzie's Halloween costume this weekend. Grandma is working on helping me make an apron to go over it and Kenzie is going to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. It was my favorite movie growing up (and still is). I can't wait for the day I can show it to her. I know she may not be quite as intrigued as I was, but it will still be something special for me to share with her. Now, to find a cute enough way to dress up Will as Toto and we are set!


I love these two. We went on a walk Saturday evening after dinner and decided to let Kenzie ride in her car. Well, on the way back it lost a wheel. That keeps happening for some reason. So, Kenzie got an impromptu mechanics lesson from Daddy on the way home. She was so in to helping him fix the car. It was very adorable. The did fix the car and Kenzie was able to finish her driving lesson.


Kenzie's new obsession is using the baskets at Winn Dixie. I have to argue with her if there is too much for us to buy that it won't fit in the cart. She gets so excited. She also loves to put the items on the belt... now if I could just get her to get a job so she can pay. Haha!


Kenzie is definitely my daughter. If you ever can't find her right under your feet in the house... check her room. She is likely in there reading away. I can't even get her to come out of there most of the time. She usually asks for me to join her and read with her. I love watching her love of reading continue to grow. I hope she never grows out of that.


Comfort food... enough said. And yes... I ate all of that for breakfast on Wednesday.


We are finally getting cool enough outside to play in the afternoons. The sweat all over my child would lead you to believe it is not cool enough, but for Florida, 85 degrees is good. She has been loving our outside time this week. I have to admit that I cheat and sit in a chair in the driveway so that I don't have to be standing. Too much standing makes my ankles swell for the remainder of the day. Pass.


What were your favorite weekly moments?

The Doc is In!

Today we celebrated THREE with Kenzie! We had her official 3rd birthday party. She doesn't actually turn 3 until Thursday, but her birthday today with friends and family was a definite success. The most adorable Doc there is I admit, I'm a bit crazy. I start planning birthday parties months in advance. I have been planning Will's first for months already and his isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Anyway, Kenzie and I talked about it a few months ago and she elected to choose a Doc McStuffins themed birthday party this year. I will post another day about the decorations that I created for this party, but for now... a photo dump in honor of our little Doc turning 3. Our spread was pretty yummy, if I do say so myself. Everything from "Stuffy's Dragon Tails" (fruit kabobs) to "Squeakers Fishy Friends" (goldfish) and "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doc Away" (applesauce packets and cups). Will spent most of his tim...

New State Parks, Beaches, Movies, and Friend Time

Another weekend has been put in the books for the Young Household. This weekend was actually a bit less crazy than some of our others, I think but still filled with fun and some new things. We started Friday afternoon when Steven was able to come home an hour or so early. We started getting ready for our big Saturday plans and then made pizza and sat down to watch a movie. We love this Friday tradition. We try to do it at least a couple times a month. We used to order pizza but when we started watching our finances closer, we determined that it was better for us to make pizza either homemade or frozen (and the kids like frozen pizza as much as pizza from a restaurant right now so we will continue to capitalize on that for a while... Will loves homemade but Kenzie is in a current anti-homemade stage because she is weird). Anyway, we made a frozen pizza and some cheesy bread. Then we sat down together to watch Inside Out. We picked it up at the library last week and never had a chance ...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

Honestly, I debated doing a weekly update for this week because we didn't actually check anything off the summer bucket list... but decided to go ahead and do it because we did do some fun stuff. Plus, there are only two more weeks of this (including this one) so anyone that is actually interested can read it if they want. =) This week was fairly low key. Steven was dealing with his shingles diagnosis so we didn't do anything too crazy because the main reason he likely came down with it was because he is so run down and stressed out. Kenzie had school all week. Well, except Monday but on Monday's, we dance. She did great at dance by the way! She goes to dance each week and then spends the next 6 days asking us if she has dance. We made her a calendar for the fridge that lists her activities and dance is on it. We cross off each day so she can count down to dance. Doesn't matter. She still asks. Wishful thinking, I guess. And she is still rocking school. She is doing...
