Weekend Wrap Up! (Part 1)

Happy MONDAY!

Due to the Easter holiday, we had an extra long four day weekend. Today I'm actually still enjoying a day off! I decided to break my wrap up into two parts because we had a lot going on that would be fun to share with you!

I definitely felt like a blogger this weekend... taking tons of pictures and all that stuff!

THURSDAY

Thursdays are usually a day I dread (work and then six piano lessons straight through until 7pm), but this Thursday was different! This Thursday was my “Friday” due to having off for Easter Break the next day. And instead of a bunch of piano lessons after school, I only had three and I’d be done at 5:30!

My day started with lifting upper body at home. I opened the windows so the kitties hung out with me most of the time. Normally they sleep all morning.

For reasons I shouldn’t share, I was anticipating work to be horrible. Luckily, it turned out to be a good day! The kids were well behaved, especially considering they were excited for Easter.

I even finished my sign for our show next week. This sign took me HOURS. It’s the best I can do!

I got a lot of compliments on my outfit so I thought I’d show it to you!

After piano lessons, Paul and I went for a short walk. We love looking at all the different houses in our neighborhood. Then we ate dinner at watched Bates Motel. After that, I was a complete bad ass by staying up until past midnight doing a puzzle and watching the new Casey Anthony documentary.

I forgot to turn my alarm off so it went off at 5:30. Luckily, I remembered right away that I had the day off. I swiped the alarm off and fell right back asleep until Jelly woke me at 10:30.

I ran six miles. It was so warm! 

While I was sleeping and running, Paul was making his second batch of "test chili" for the Millersburg Cherry Blossom Festival Chili Cook Off he is entering in May. His first batch was good but nothing to write home about. This second batch? It was so good I whimpered. HE IS GOING TO WIN!

That afternoon, we headed over the Harrisburg to see an IMAX movie at The Whitaker Center. We parked on City Island and walked. It was absolutely gorgeous out!

The movie was National Parks Adventure 3D and it was really good. I spent the first 10 minutes of the movie weeping because it was so beautiful. I know, I'm so weird!

That evening, we went over to Randy and Michael's for a steak dinner. Their friends Desiree and Sean came over too. The food was delicious! Then we played games and laughed the night away.

We slept in and then headed to King's Gap for a HIKE! It was really pretty but the trails were a little hard to follow. At one point we had to walk on the road because we didn't know where to go. I would like to go back when we have some more time!

Then Rachel came over to do my hair and makeup while Paul and Bob went to Lowe's to buy us an energy efficient washer. It comes a week from today!

Rachel did a good job with my hair...

Then Paul and I headed to Kohl's because I determined I was in need of some basic summer tops. I ended up getting a cute cold shoulder top! What do you think?

I got these shorts...

I tried on linen pants... they were all high waisted and WAY too long!

I tried on the Under Armor joggers I really like but they just weren't flattering. They look okay in this picture but in person... I am not liking the high waisted style. It makes me look big in the middle!

I'm trying a new brand of candles to cover up the lingering pee smell that sometimes exists in our house. These were only $9.99 each and they smell really good. It is the Kohl's brand.

Well, that was our Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! Tomorrow I will recap Easter and Monday. I am pretty tired though... hopefully I can make the most of my last day off before HELL WEEK! (The week of my musical at school.)

Tell me something fun you did this weekend!
Have you seen any good IMAX movies?
What's your favorite brand of candles?
