Ho Hum Weekend

The Sweets haven't been incredibly exciting this weekend but for those who may want to hear out our boring weekend, its coming right up :)


It was business as usual around here on Friday morning and afternoon. Luke was off to school for a test, after studying all week, and Isabelle and I did our usual routine. This means chores for me and making messes and playing for Isabelle. Luke was able to take the afternoon off after all his studying to take us girls to lunch..

Isabelles blue drink

She took a sip and told the waitress that is tasted like sun screen..I tasted it..and agreed

Made Isabelle a new headband 

After lunch we went on a nice drive down the beach which meant Isabelle got a nice nap :) After she had rested a while we headed to Home Depot to look at some things. Now that we have the rooms switched around( I have talked about our room transition in past blogs) Isabelle wants her new room to be a princess room (It just so happens Isabelle's friend Briana has a princess room and after Isabelle went on and on about loving it her mommy offered all the princess decor to us once they redo her room in a couple weeks..yay) So, we were off in search of just the right pink and maybe a border for her new room..

Since this pic I have changed pinks

We got home and realized Isabelle has 2 switches on her light so we will have to take that back. It was getting close to bedtime by now so Isabelle and daddy closed the night down with a teddy bear fight followed up by a circus she set up in the living room.

Luke got right back to work on his studies Saturday morning and Isabelle and I hung out. It was pizza for lunch and Isabelle wanted to make sure Dora and Diego go there own piece..

This girl loooves pizza

Isabelle took a nice nap while I worked around the house..it was taco salad for dinner and Isabelle was ready to help out..

Sunday morning brought the usual pancake Sunday but in an unusual way. Luke was again, studying, so he had his in bed and Isabelle was working hard on "fixing" some things out on the lanai that she asked for hers out there..

We are preparing to head back to Indiana in a few weeks and with the bedroom project ahead, I have been working on all the cleaning projects I need to do before leaving the condo for the summer. Today rolled back the rug and swept and moped under them along with the always fun recycling! Isabelle loooves to help with this part..

We were lucky enough to catch the fireworks going off downtown for Sunfest from our kitchen window before we all headed to bed to get ready for the crazy week ahead!

The Last Leg

As you know, I have been in the process of moving Isabelle's bedroom to one room and all of her toys to another. Until now, she had most of her toys in her bedroom with some of the in the spare room, so I have been working on turning them into two different rooms totally. Isabelle was up early as usual and decided she wanted Spaghetti O's for breakfast. After trying to get her to eat something else for a while I figured there were much worse things she could be eating so I gave in and she enjoyed them while watching Aladdin on TV for the first time..

Isabelle was amazed that I knew the words to the song " Arabian Knights" in the beginning of the  movie and I used it to get some funny faces out of her..

I took advantage of this time by getting on the internet, drinking coffee, and chatting with my mom. Isabelle was bored with Aladdin quickly and decided to do some flash cards...and then load them up into her wagon..

I had my fun but then had to get serious and put the final touches on Isabelles toy room for the time being..

My great grandfather made this desk

Puzzle, book, and art area

All girls need to play dress up

Isabelle of course was playing around me the whole time I was working on this project

Isabelle and Mr. Bear

Since Isabelle had been spending a lot of time in the living room the past couple days  it had become a disaster zone, so I had to take care of that...but I made Isabelle help me :)

Isabelle did her share and then I had to take I time out for some very pressing business....

Snakey Snake who we got at the one of the zoos we went to lost his eye yesterday...It was MIA until I found it while vacuuming and had to halt all other chores and reattached said eye immediately. As you can see, Isabelle was very happy to have a healthy Snakey Snake back just in time for bed.  Sorry. I'm sure the last few days have been a real snore but it is what it is. As for me, I am settling in to watch the new episodes of my favorite Thursday shows ( after a long hiatus) with a beer in hand.ssssssiiiiiggggghhhhhhh. REEEELLLAAAXXXX :)

Busy..Busy...Bees

Wow..I have been very busy the past few days! Luke has been busy as usual ( he is in his final push of the semester) and Isabelle is of course always busy busy. Tuesday morning I started off with a little catch up blogging. I finished it just in time to hear Isabelle yelling for help from the kitchen..

Someone was antsy for a snack and got herself trapped on the counter..

The rest of the afternoon and some of the evening was spent on 2 things...Thing number one...

I would post a picture of Isabelle and I doing this, but I would never be able to show my face in public again haha. This is a motion game where you do all the famous dance moves from Michael Jacksons songs and videos..very fun..very addicting...Thing number 2 was starting on moving all of Isabelle's toys into the larger bedroom and making the 3rd room for SLEEPING ONLY.

The toys only room in progress

This was quite an undertaking and I was not able to get it all finished last night but I was able to enjoy a nice bowl of my new favorite soup from Carrabas before settling in for the night..

I woke up this morning soo stiff and sore. Some I'm sure is from the moving around of rooms but I think it is mostly from dancing like MJ lol. Every single muscle in my body is sore somehow. Defiantly a great work out! 


I got myself motivated this morning with some liquid energy aka Dunkin Donuts Coffee in Cinnamon Spice, which I love love love!! Isabelle watched some cartoons and I watched some Army Wives, then it was time to go back to yesterdays task of switching out rooms. Luke came home with lunch and we all took a little break for a while. Luke then took Isabelle with him on a much needed trip to the store while I was able to finish my job in peace. Thanks hubs( I dont even know if he reads this haha).

The toy room is mostly complete. We are planning on painting Isabelle's bedroom soon and finishing it off with a "princess" theme so it will be fine the way it is until then. Unfortunately, I have the leftovers to deal with tomorrow...

and I will be sure to tell you all about it then :)

Make up Monday

Well, we have had quite the weekend. Zoo on Friday, crazy busy on Saturday, and of course Easter Sunday! So, Monday is making up for all the chores left over from the fun :) I burnt my hand while cooking this weekend so Isabelle was kind enough to give me one of her band aides..Wolverine! 

Mondays Luke does not have class until 1230 so they are always one of our favorite days! Since we missed Sweet Family Pancake Sunday because of Easter, we made up for it today!

Mommy skips the pancakes for rye toast and bacon

Isabelle loooves bacon

Shortly after we got the messed cleaned up and watched the Price is Right, Luke had to head off to school and I had to get busy with my Monday house blessing, (I have been falling behind in my flying the past week shh), and that meant finding something to occupy Isabelle for a little while.

Isabelle spent all afternoon making bird houses out of play dough, then turned it into a dino cave, and who knows what else. I then got started on dinner for the night ( chicken and noodles, mashed pot, and cresent rolls) and folding all the pool towels!

Trying to come up with a cute option for holding all my beach towels right by the door..any ideas?

Dinner was awesome, if I do say so myself! I have a tendency to not make the best mashed potato's, but tonight they were perfect and that made for a very happy hubby! I then cleaned up the kitchen for the 3rd time today and it was time for bed for Isabelle and for us. I was very tired so skipped on the blog last night and did it today ( Tuesday morning) instead. See you all again tonight with all the dets on what the Sweets did today!
