4 You Shook me all Night Long!

Sooooo remember how I had some doubts that this weekend would be anything but lame and uneventful. Wrong-o! I think from now on I will set weekends up in my minds to be lacking of the excitement and then they will almost always pleasantly surprise me.

Friday was a bad day. I was too tired, I had three babies all day, and bad news kept coming in all directions. Then after babies 1&2 left and my parents went out for drinks and Mikey left for Del. it was just me and my bebe. We snuggled on the couch with a Hershey bar (or 2) and watched Finding Nemo. It was soooo needed. Then I got a migraine and took my baby up to bed with me for an early bed time and some quality co sleeping. :D happy momma.

Saturday I spent some time bonding with my family listening to Jimmy Buffett and kickin it on the back deck. My mom and I went to home depot for a mister. People with toddlers INVEST IN ONE NOW. $7 for hours of entertainment. Winning! Then my friend Kristen came over so that I could help her get ready for The Leg Warmers concert. They are and 80's cover band that play regularly at the local State Theater. People always get full on decked out to go so I did her hair and helped her pick out an outfit. And then she convinced me to take her extra ticket. It was SO MUCH FUN. Iv always been a fan of the 80's in fact if I had to pick a decade to be a teenager it it would certainly be the 80's for their fabulous wardrobe choices and amazing music. Anywho we met up with a few other people and headed over to rock out. And did we. Im pretty sure we had the most fun of anyone there and Iv never danced so hard in my life. I was cuttin footloose.... but like actually.

Sunday Kristen and I rolled out of bed with our teased hair still a teasin and decided to take in the local sites of good ol Washington D.C. We packed up the babe and headed to the metro. It only took us about 1283820318 hours to actually get downtown with all our pit stops prior and then our merto car didnt have AC not ok metro you hear me NO OK! BUT we made it. We went to the Natural History Museum and P saw dinosaurs, whales, prehistoric creatures of all kinds and we even made it in time for the insect lady to be passing around creepy crawlies. Kristen held the most gigantic grasshopper I have ever seen. It was grand. Next we went and rode the carousel 2ce because tears they were a pourin. I would have loved to have ridden it all day with her but at $7 a pop I could only afford the 2. Robbin me blind DC!

then my phone died but ill have Kris send me some carousel pictures! 

So like I said, pretty great weekend. Oh and P slept with me every night. I'm gonna miss that little cuddle bug... I may kick Mikey to the curb. 

1 Weekend Recap

Friday: I was in the mood for margaritas and tacos so I put on my fiesta appropriate attire and we went to a local mexican restaurant. The only thing was I got there and then forgot my freaking ID which meant no margaritas for Ashley..... luckly my brother brought it over then joined us for dinner so yay margaritas! 

Friday night I tried the no heat curls via the paper mama 

I dont think I did it tight enough and I think the right side actually went against the grain of my natural curl so it looked all wonky. I think I may try again but I actually really like the look of the headband. I may rock it with a fun headband or one of my bows.

Saturday: We didn't really do much. We went to bagel bakery for breakfast and I got Starbucks dur. We hung out at the house and then went over to the Griffin's house a little later to play some cornhole. Pey got pushed around by Mr Griff in Grandma's walker. 

Also I got a new app called MyCeleb. You use a picture and it tells you what celebs you look like. 80% of the time I get someone Asian but iv also gotten Julia Styles, Anne Hathaway, oh and Elton John... 

it has been perfection round these parts of late. 

Sunday: we went to Parker's birthday party in the morning. P loved the big pool and she swims up a storm. She ate cake and had a blast. She refused nap time again but she wasn't a brat like usual when she skips nap. We went to visit my Nanny and Aunt and uncle later and went swimming again. She slept well last night imagine why? 

it was a pretty good weekend i'd say. 

0 Steppin Out Saturday

Good Saturday day all my boggity friends. Today is yet another beautiful day in the metropolitan area like perfect even. I don't really have anywhere specific to step out to today but I just felt like wearing this dress (I actually wear it like every other day) But it's new to you guys! 

Dress & Necklace ~ C.L.A.D

Bracelets ~ Flourish & flea market 

Shoes (not pictured) ~ Macys

Nail Polish ~ Turquoise & Caicos by Essie w/ gold crackle on top 

Today got even better when Mikey texted me that he's getting off at 12 instead of 2 today. Yay! I think we may be pool bound 

Also I tried the no heat curl last night and it was kinda a fail. Ill post pictures later but I obviously ended up straightening it.

Happy Saturday!
