MENU MONDAY

This weekend went by so fast.  I was kind of looking forward to my two day break from working out and getting to sleep in a bit but really I should have just gotten up and worked out.  All the kids got up way earlier than they normally do and I was up early both days anyway.  Then I spent the whole day like "I wish I had just worked out."  It's funny how after a month of something it starts to become so routine and your body craves it!  Oh, if you don't follow me on instagram or facebook you may not know that I started working out again.  I need to do a whole post about all of that but since starting to workout, I've had to go to bed earlier and that takes away from my time being able to blog.  I have so very many things I want to blog about but right now it's hard to find time to get it all done. I will try to work on that this week though. 

Our weekend was pretty low key.  Friday night we were at home, Saturday was our normal grocery shopping trip and Sunday was church and then we stayed home the rest of the day.  I ended it pretty exhausted though because the kids were up way more than normal both Friday and Saturday night.  A few good things that happened over the weekend. 

  #1. The weather was really nice. 

 

 

 #2. One of my really good friends bought me this most beautiful headband!!! I love it!

  #3.  I was so happy to go to church.  We had to miss last week because of the snow and I'm always so sad to miss church.  #4. The snow almost completely melted! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
