Well, I decided to go ahead and do Hello Monday since I have Fashion Files tomorrow. I’m not sure anyone else is on normal schedule due to Labor Day in the US, but that’s ok! I may be a Linky Party of one!

Friday I picked up some library holds:

I’ve got quite the stack of books right now, so I’m not sure what I will end up reading.

I really thought I would play Mah Jong more this summer, but it’s been tough to coordinate schedules. My friend Heather had the other Heather and I over for some Friday afternoon play time, though!

She has these cute cups and found a pre-mixed Bellini at Kroger that was so good. I need to go find it!

Paisley:

After we played a couple of games, the guys were invited to join us for dinner out.

I got a Hugo Spritz but couldn’t drink much of it:

I ordered a mahi sandwich:

It was a fun afternoon into evening!

I watched a bit of The Last Sunrise but couldn’t stay awake.

Saturday morning, it rained a bit and I was happy to sit outside!

I had a few errands to run and it was my twins’ birthday. I was worried I would feel sad but it was a good day. I got a cookie cake to take to Jack’s work – they messed it up. It was supposed to be “HBD at ___” the name of his work’s initials. HBD is “happy birthday” by the way.

I got an incredible surprise from friend and blog reader Sally of this gorgeous fall arrangement:

It was perfect also because I did light early fall decor:

I had some reading time (with popcorn) and napping time in the afternoon and then Tom and I took the cookie cake to Jack’s work and picked up Chinese food.

We watched some shows together and went to bed pretty early. We also got to talk to Mason on the phone and he had some fun birthday plans.

Sunday morning was a little cool out! Yes!

I finished this book this weekend. It was far-fetched and some things were pretty unbelievable but it was cute.

Sunday we were invited to go out on a beautiful and comfortable pontoon that is for sale – message me if you are interested – lol.

Tom got to try driving it!

There is a big boat party in Party Cove and in the evening, they even have a band on a floating stage.

It was a such a fun day!

I hope you are having a nice Labor Day weekend!
