friday:
couldn't sleep in. totally needed too. was so sick this week. and was bad timing with the new computers at work. i was exhausted. oh well...

met john for lunch. then ran some errands and shopped at a few stores i rarely go to. did my grocery shopping at a different stracks, then headed to get ben.

got ben some window clings to play with. i think chewy wanted to help too.

showing daddy that he knows how to play the psp. had some fun snuggle time on the bed. always nice to just lounge and visit with those two cute boys.

impromptu movie night. we had planned on watching a movie. nick had talked with his dad earlier in the day and mentioned that we had no plans. they came over and joined us in a viewing of the hunger games. seriously, i LOVE that movie. it's only the second time i've watched it. but i was mesmerized again. it doesn't seem like you're sitting there for 2.5 hours.

ben and bri being super heroes.

saturday:
i was a sleepy, sick momma. as soon as nick got up from sleeping in, i went to bed until he had to go to work. then i napped again once i put ben down for his nap. 

ben asked for cheese and crackers. he never stacks em. for some reason, he decided to today. ;)

my mom came over to babysit so nick and i could have a night out. we wanted to go to the new cooper's hawk by our house. the wait was ridiculous. so after running a few errands, we ended up at asparagus.

for dessert, we headed to cooper's hawk and did our member's tasting with some truffles. i cannot believe we haven't bought them to go with our tasting before! we were missing out. will definitely be snacking and sipping in the future. the soft turtle was amazing. the pistachio truffle wasn't bad either!

nick's dad's band, pandora rocks, was playing at a local bar.

nick got excited when he saw fire chata shots. ew. it's rum chata and like aftershock. felt like i should have been brushing my teeth with it instead of drinking it. i'm not a fan of cinnamon in my bevies. unless it's tea. ;)

yay i phone photo. love the flip camera option. makes selfies so much easier. darker since there's no flash but that's okay. ;)

doesn't my martini look way out of place?

the band.

nick towards the end of the evening. proudly wearing his newly acquired shirt.

nick's mom took a pic of us dancing the night away. made me laugh when i got it as a text!

sunday:
nick upheld his end of the weekend deal. he got up early with ben. i slept a bit. thank goodness. i was tired. it was a late night. i don't think we got home until 2!

breakfast of champions. love that there are balls on a frisbee in the picture. 

my brother and his girlfriend stopped by for a quick visit. ben enjoyed playing trains with brittany.

after trying a new recipe for dinner, will share in giant recipe post in the future, we had individual ice creams for dinner. chewy felt left out and wanted some of nick's!

ben took my camera and said, 'make a silly face while you're eating your ice cream momma.' so i did.

beaner asked for a bath. he enjoys making bubble mustaches.

chewbacca wanted to help nick do laundry. better him than me! :)

bummed that we didn't make the trip to indy to see nick's family. just knew with the sickies floating around that it was probably best. i feel bad when we miss something family/friend oriented. spending time with them is so important to me {us} but we have to also do what is bet for our family.
