We had a fabulous holiday weekend including two Cardinals games with some of our favorite people, donuts at Strange Donuts, lunch at Dewey's, loads and loads of laundry, Alex mowed our
Now for the details:
Becky and Jared came down on Friday evening to go the Cardinals game with us, unfortunately the Red Birds lost but we had fun nonetheless. After the game at 10:45 we decided to get some donuts and I wanted to try Strange Donuts, so it was the perfect opportunity! We got a dozen donuts in a variety of flavors: PB&J, Maple Bacon x2, Lemon, Gooey Butter x3, Red Velvet, Sprinkle, Glazed, Chocolate Custard, and Grass Hopper. They were delicious and did not disappoint!
On Saturday morning we did a little bit of local shopping in Edwardsville and then met my parents, Ethan, Nora and Josh & Libby for lunch at Dewey's. We had a lot of fun talking and eating. After lunch Becky and crew said their farewell's and headed home while Josh & Libby, Alex, my parents and I all headed to Run Well. Josh and Libby are running the 5K at the Santa Hustle, so they needed the appropriate footwear and I needed a new pair of shoes too. We all left with new kicks except my mama. After shoe shopping we made a quick trip to Kohl's and then my parents headed home.
Sunday was our second ballgame of the weekend, Cardinals v Cubs. We went with our friends Clint and Kassie, they are Cubs fans but we still make our friendship work ;). It was a close, exciting game to watch and thankfully the Cardinals won!! After the game, Alex and I made a quick trip to the outlet mall for some Labor Day sales. Alex is going on a work trip soon and needs to look spiffy, so we got him some new dress shirts, pants and my favorite: a bow tie (which I can successfully tie!).
Monday morning we slept in and then went on a jog to break in my shoes. When we got home we nestled in to watch a mini Harry Potter marathon. While watching, I multi-tasked and did quite a bit of laundry (I know you were dying to know when I squeezed the laundry in).
Now we're back to reality and I need a nap. Have a happy Tuesday!
