Little June Weekend

Hi friends!! Hope everyone is well rested after a nice weekend. Ours was very casual and relaxed.

Friday night kicked off our weekend and was stormy. I feel like we have entered that stage of summer where it storms every day. The sun goes behind the clouds every afternoon, and I check the doppler to see this:

That scares the sun out of me, and I prepare to go in the basement and hide, but when the rain eventually arrives, the storms have been quite mild. Don’t know what’s up with that!

We had leftover pizza, Mona Lisa Pasta ravioli and arugula mixed into the sauce for dinner.

this !

Mazen wasn’t allowed to play Nintendo during the week, so since it was a Friday night we had a family Mario Kart session. Mommy took first place 5x in a row!

After Mazey went to bed, T and I started The Crown. So many people have recommended it. We liked the first episode, but it’s a bit slow. Does the plot thicken soon? I’m also now wondering how much of it is historically accurate. I would think the producers would make it as accurate as possible? Cookies + cream ice cream for a little dessert snack!

Saturday morning, Thomas and I were fast asleep when Mazen appeared bedside and said “Thoooooomas……. I’m wearing my UVAaaaaaa shirt!”

Breakfast was above: eggs, toast, and cherries. Love cherries!!

I’ve been making cheesy eggs. So delicious!

We played outside, set up the patio a bit, and then did some drawing. Look at that face!! “Don’t mess with me mama.”

I ran to the grocery store and picked up some hot bar for lunch.

Saturday afternoon, Mazen went to the pool, Thomas went to golf, and I went straight to the couch. 🙂 I took a little nap while the baby gave me lots of kicks!

We had some friends over for a cookout on Saturday night – BBQ chicken, corn, and grilled veggies, plus apps and drinks.

We ended the night on the patio with tiki torches and the most beautiful evening! There was lightening all around, but it never rained. Good times!

On Sunday morning, I felt very lucky to sleep in a bit. My body clock woke me up at 7, but I was able to fall back asleep. I don’t know how people sleep past 8/9 a.m. I just can’t do it!

We took Mazey swimming and had a light lunch by the pool (carrots, a soft pretzel, cherries). It was HOT!

Here’s a very awkward selfie of the new tankini I got on sale from Athleta. It can be pulled down low to almost be a dress or scrunched up to a tankini. I’m liking tankinis as maternity suits a lot! The difference in having my stomach out or in right now is like the difference in wearing a tight mini dress and sweatpants. LOL. I think as I get bigger I’ll be more comfortable wearing a two piece again, but now I just feel so awkward, like I ate nothing but cupcakes all winter.

And on Sunday evening we enjoyed a neighborhood block party to end off the weekend! We had to wait out another big line of storms before everyone crept out of their houses, but we had a great time once the clouds parted a bit.

    Yes, the Crown gets better and better! I read that it is quite accurate but who knows what was actually said behind closed doors? And the Queen wasn’t exactly interviewed for her thoughts! My husband watched it all with me and loved the history side of it all. I loved the clothing and relationships – stick with it, Kath!

    The bbq looked so good! Was the raw meat before they were cooked at all aversive?

    I have to be honest, I just couldn’t get into The Crown when I tried it last year, even though I know a lot of people who loved, loved, loved it. THERE WAS SO MUCH COUGHING! I ended up re-watching Downton Abbey instead, because that’s really what I was craving.

    Loved The Crown-one of my favorite series on Netflix! Pretty PG until one episode in season three which seemed gratuitous to me, and now I can’t let my dgtr watch it 🙁
    Can’t wait for season four with Olivia Colman as the queen. She was great in Broadchurch, which I loved as well and is on Netflix.

    The weather was great this weekend! It started pouring as we left the airport but cleared off by the time we went to dinner. Then again last night on our way back from Jefferson Winery. I absolutely love it here and am sad to leave today – I’ll be back!

    Stick with The Crown. Really. It’s slow at first but totally worth it.

    Stick with the Crown! You will grow to love Elizabeth. I’ve heard it’s quite accurate, too.
