My heart is so full and happy tonight.

I've had such a great weekend with dh--i love it when it is the perfect balance of getting shit done and relaxing and having fun together.

We are now making beer brats on the grill and settling in to watch some animation domination tonight (no judgement!!!)

What are you up to this evening?

eta--I just got sucked into the finish line feed for Ironman Canada.  It makes me so happy and weepy

[sunnysideup488]

All three of my girls are peacefully sleeping. I'm vegging out on the couch watching a movie.

DH is mowing the lawn.

Aww sounds great. I am basking in SoCal weather, spent some time on the beach and am about to go to my favorite restaurant for birthday dinner!

Another good weekend here! Tonight we are grilling, then probably prepping a room for painting.

Happy birthday, roseflower!

sunnysideup488 - "my three girls" squeeeeee

And @mrschicken, that is lovely to hear, could not agree more with you about the ingredients to a great weekend. Beer and brats sounds delish

So glad everyone is - H and I are 99% packed for our upcoming trip....I do not recall wanting and needing a vacation this badly ever. Ack!

[AAM2012]

Glad everyone had a good weekend! DH and I were super busy and did some back breaking yard work today. Not a MM weekend as we are having the house painted, new carpet and AC just went out

I can't wait to get to work tomorrow to get in the AC!

[melmel48]

Just sitting around doing nothing! I am on vacation next week so this week is going to be tough to get through.

[curbsideprophet]

I have family in town. We had a relaxing afternoon and a nice dinner at home. They have left for their hotel and DH and I are putting the kids to bed.

[rikki]

Having a glass of wine to relax. I had a vanilla malt for dinner. I'm the model for healthy eating.

I had a nice lazy weekend. Eating soup now after getting back from the pool with a friend.

[babsbunny]

Also grilled out tonight. Relaxing before another week at work (not as exciting given we were in Europe just over a week ago).

[hamster]

I wish I could like this more than once.

H and I are binge eating/drinking today. Diet starts tomorrow. That's healthy, right?

Overall we had a good week with the family camping trip but I'm about familied out at this point.

[crashgizmo]

aww @mrschicken I'm glad you had a great weekend!

Ours was great too! Last night we had some new friends over for a BBQ. Today we went to a Meetup group at a local brewery and had a blast. It's awesome to finally have our town feel like "home", after a year.

Now we're home, watching The Next Food Network Star and Manhattan. I'm drinking wine and GBCNing.

I thought of you this weekend--one of my best friends from HS got married in your neck of the woods yesterday:)

Last night my Mom asked if I ate dinner. I told her "Yes. I had ice cream" She gave me a thumbs up.

You seem so relaxed considering everything that has happened in your family this weekend! I hope the three girls stay sleeping soundly for a long time.

Both boys are in bed, I'm putting together a new kid-friendly playlist for my iPod so we have some music no one will argue about tomorrow while we drive to the zoo, and my H is finally coming home this week!

I love Animation Domination!

@mrschicken - Have you seen the trailer for the FG/Simpson's crossover?

Our weekends seem to be more lazy than productive as of late.

[tcu2003]

I just got back from a girls weekend with 3 of my high school girlfriends - so fun to catch up, have a spa day, and hang by the pool with them. Now I'm sitting on the couch putting DS to sleep and spending time with DH.

I hadn't!  That's awesome!  I'm excited to see it on our standing Sunday night date

[KaraOrNot]

I'm glad you had a good day!

I had a productive day of painting and I am now lounging on the couch. I am about to go take a bath and relax some more!

[drloretta]

I had an awesome weekend with DD while giving DH space to prep for his big event later this week.

[wanderlustmom]

Awwwwh, glad you are happy. Your post sounded so warm and expansive. I love grateful posts. DH is out of town for a few days, the kids are out of town with their grandma so I had a day to myself. Took the dogs for a long walk and had a Mexican/Asian fusion dinner with my two sisters. I love my kids and DH, but it's nice to have a quiet house.

[audette]

I spent most of the weekend spinning for the last bit of the Tour de Fleece. Overall, I spun over 3 lbs of yarn! Dang...

I really want to plan your next Washington/ Idaho/ Montana trip for you! I have so many great places and off-the-beaten-path suggestions that I think you'd get a kick out of!

It was a good weekend on my end. Low key Friday, Saturday afternoon board meeting for an organization I'm really excited about, bachelorette party Saturday night (I haven't laughed that hard in a long time). Then hanging with DD while H hiked this morning, got a ton of work done while DD took a 4.5 hour nap (!), and dinner out with friends. I wish I had one more day home to clean the house and feel totally prepared for this week, but whatever.

Yes! I love those weekends so much. I love the way you described it.

My weekend was not great by most standards - didn't get anything done, spent most of today avoiding FIL, then fought with H. BUT, I feel like our argument was actually really productive, and he and I also worked through some emotions about our loss earlier this year that I (apparently) really needed to talk about. So I feel much better. And he's currently doing the dishes, so, win.

Now I am just preparing for our trip (I have a week off between jobs and we're heading up to the mountain town where we were married for the next three days). Then I have a massage scheduled for Thursday and for the rest of the week/weekend I will get to see some friends and family that I haven't seen in awhile. So I am so looking forward to this week and I really think this R&R will leave me refreshed. Can't wait.

@idaholakelady I would love a pre-made itenerary for WA / MT / ID!!! Good excuse to prioritize another trip, hee hee.

I think I'm still in a little bit of shock. Haha.

Although, we were going to go to church yesterday and grocery shopping. Than decided we might need a bit more practice with getting three kids ready on time... DH went by himself.
