Monday Morning Musings

While the rest of the blog world was off at Blissdom I was off enjoying some quality time with two ladies I love and are the closest thing I'll ever have to sisters.  Collectively we've been friends for 25 years and no matter what happens in life we always there for each other.

You know what's even cooler?  We're all pregnant. Due within 3 months of each other, May, July & August.  It's really cool and when we all go out in public it's like a freak show.  No, really.  We got all sorts of stares, comments, reactions, etc.  It was really fun.  We ate tons of junk food, got pedicures, went to Target ALONE,and even did face masks Saturday night.  Because no sleepover is ever complete without a facial.

It was just what the doctor ordered and I came home feeling refreshed and ready to be a mom and wife again. Best of all?  The house wasn't a total wreck when I got back!  Even sweeter?  Jimmy and Kendall had so much fun, just the two of them, and it made me feel even better about leaving for a couple of days.  Last night when he was putting her to bed he took his guitar into her room and I heard him over the monitor.  He had learned how to play "I See the Light" from Tangled {KP's favorite movie} and was singing her to sleep.  Talk about a total heart-melter.

You know what's not cool?  The white stuff I {and the rest of the mid-west} woke up to today.  I mean, it's spring, right?  You wouldn't know it looking out my windows.  So instead of complaining and posting nasty pictures of the 4-5 inches that is piled up on my deck I'm going to think warm thoughts and look at our beach pics until spring decides to follow suit.  If I will it, it will come, right?

I finished Gone Girl last week and I take back what I said about being friends with Amy.  Psycho.  I still stand by saying that I think Reese Witherspoon will do a good job in that role.  I can see why people don't want her to play a crazy girl {we all love Reese} but I think she'll be perfect because she's THAT good.  I, unlike everyone else, did not hate the ending.  It {kind of} ended the way I thought it would and in a twisted way {like the book was} I think it was the perfect ending.  The only thing I will say is that since the rest of the book was SO intense I thought the ending was a little...rushed?  But other than that I thought it was awesome.  Now I need a new book to read.

Kendall is full on having conversations these days and it's so cute and funny to hear the things that come out of her mouth is so amazing to me.  How do they come up with these things?  She's even been going by an alter-ego this weekend.  Apparently starting Friday night she wanted to be called "Kendee" and "Kendee" is wild and talks in jibberish...I mean, really?  Where did this come from?  I swear just as soon as you think you can't love one stage more than the last they go and do something ridiculously awesome, like that, and you find yourself saying "this is my favorite age" every time.

I have a bumpdate coming this week.  I can't believe I'm almost halfway through this pregnancy and I haven't done a belly pic {besides the occasional Instagram pic} since I was 15 weeks.  Well, I guess I can because not a whole lot has happened except I think my belly grew 2 sizes this weekend and I'm starting to feel movements throughout the day, not just at night, now.  Oh, and, in case you don't follow me on Instagram we have a full name now, James Weston Dew.  I kinda, sorta am IN LOVE with it.  The rest will have to wait till the officially bumpdate.

Happy Monday!

  4. What a great weekend with your friends! So fun!
    Gone Girl - I agree that the ending was okay. The story was twisted and in the end the two twisted characters need to be together because they just can't be with anyone else because they are so twisted. And yes, the ending was really rushed.

  5. Sounds like you had a great weekend. That is awesome you and your friends are pregnant together, what fun. Your hubby learning that song from Tangled and then singing your daughter to sleep, OMG... I teared up. Super sweet. We have snow, of course we to we are in Illinois, and I complainted about it because it kept me from getting stuff done in baby's room (windows need to be opened for the job). Happy Monday!!

  6. I LOVE the name weston and think it is the perfect middle name for your boy!!

    Also, I agree that the ending of Gone Girl was rushed, but it does fit the style of the book. Good point.

    I love weekends like that! Glad you were able to have some fun and rejuvenate. That's always so great, especially when the great outdoors isn't so great.
