Holiday weekend recap.

My oh my this holiday weekend was just beyond busy. Thursday we had the family over and we ate dinner early. It was nice, the kitchen was cleaned up by 6pm and we just relaxed the rest of the evening. Now in the late hours, I had to work on Soph's wish for a Frozen themed birthday. I was up until 2 am! Unheard of by the way. I try my hardest to make it in bed before 11 on most nights. Friday morning was nuts. I had to go pick up her cake at one my favorite bakeries. Swedish bakery never fails! We then spent the rest of the day celebrating the birthday girl. She wanted to bake cupcakes so I complied and baked chocolate cupcakes. Again, we decided to do something low key and it turned out perfect. Soph thanked us throughout the entire day for everything that we had done for her. The most exciting part of her celebration was the gift scavenger hunt. She loved it! She had been begging  for a Nintendo DS for the past year and well we gave in. Saturday, was my day. I got to escape for a few hours to the craft stores to take advantage of all the coupon bonanza! I made out like a bandit with my purchases. In addition to this, I shopped from some of my favorite Etsy shops. I love supporting small business owners, especially ones run by moms. Now today, I did a lot of clean up in the girls room. It was just toy mayhem everywhere. It was yet another reminder that my children don't need anymore toys. I purge usually every other month and my goodness every single time I get rid of at least one garbage bag filled with toys...overall a very productive Holiday weekend.
