Three Day Weekend: Sun, Wine, Puppies, Guns and Big Butts

by 4 Comments

Take a deep breathe.  It’s September.

But before I can jump, full fledge into the month of pumpkin spice latte’s, first day of school pictures and harvest wreaths… I need to recap Labor Day Weekend.

How was your weekend?  Were you lucky enough to have a three or four day weekend like we did?  I didn’t realize how badly I needed a few days to not think about work.  When you work from home, your work can begin to consume you.  I wake up, walk into my guest room to fold some clothes and my “office” is staring me down already.  Yes, it has it’s perks {i.e. yoga pants all day long!} but paper work can be lurking around every single corner.

So for our holiday weekend, we decided to get out of town and head to Carolina for a few days of fun in the Almost-September Sun.

I laid in the sun.  With another temporary wrist tattoo.

In the midst of six full grown, large dogs… got my puppy fix with this cutie pie.

I drank white wine out of a mason cup while playing corn hole.

I got really over heated and sucked at corn hole, so I decided drinking the wine and sitting under the umbrella was a better use of my time.

 

 

I got my PiYo done… not every day.  But almost every day.  My family joined in also!  

We dug the long lost, “Official Benji Family Game” out and played.  Two nights in a row!  This can’t just be a Benji game… do y’all know about Bonanza?

The next day:  We went next door to shoot guns.  Perks of country living.  No range needed.

 My husband looked like a hottie while teaching everyone gun safety.

 

My dad shot a gun for the first time.

I acted like a princess and stole the pink ear protection.

This pre-packaged, processed OJ crap is horrible for you.  Drink fresh stuff.  Kill all processed foods.

Later, things got silly.  Jean and I got goofy.  I went for a ride on a sit down walker.

Walkers aren't meant to be used this way

 

My mom tried to teach me how to save money and cut my own bangs.  We recorded it.  Footage will air later this week.
  
My poor k9 struggled all weekend long with her anxiety and hot spots.  Our only solution?  ThunderJacket, Mom Shorts, and a Cone of Shame.

I had a lovely weekend.  And despite the pictures and her ridiculous accessories, Chloe’s wasn’t half bad either.  How did you spend this holiday weekend?

      So - the video will take some editing… my mom used some bad language and slurs that I don’t think are PC… hilarious though! :)
