The Perfect Friday

How does the perfect day begin...let me start with today. It began with a warm cup of coffee loaded with caramel macchiato creamer. After that, a 20-30 minute workout on the elliptical and another 15 on the treadmill. Actually the perfect day would be no exercise at all and very little guilt over the chocolate iced donut I scarfed down for breakfast. I exercise so I can EAT--ugh. Since Matt mowed the yard during my workout, and the weather was gorgeous (about 70 degrees), I decided to do a few minutes of sunning on the trampoline. I say a few, because Miles came out and immediately wanted to play (tackle, airplane, wrestling, etc.).

My friend Sarah had planned a lunch with some dear college friends at 11:30 at Buckhead. It worked out nicely for me because another friend Weston had invited our kids to Southland Swim Club for the day. Are you tracking with me on the best day ever...I love hanging out with girlfriends. There is nothing like being with friends laughing, reminiscing, catching up, laughing some more--I LOVE IT. The girls in this picture are special to me for so many reasons. It would require a couple of blog posts to tell you how awesome they are. We were at BH until 1:30. After that, I headed over to Southland to join our kids. I have many memories of times at Southland from my childhood. I'm glad Weston included us--our kids had a blast!

Hanging out with great friends--Walker, Tucker and Karson, google buddies.

Doing UH-mazing tricks in the pool.

Enjoying Ring Pops.

Flipping off the diving board.

After a long day at the pool, we were ready for some down time. Matt had a prayer meeting that afternoon so I took the kids home for post-swimming baths. Karson and her friend Kaylee spent all day together on Wednesday. The highlight for them (and for us moms) was going to Claire's. Karson spotted some chocolate facials that we HAD TO HAVE. We decided to do facials after our swimtime and baths. Isaac was our photographer.

Supposedly chocolate facials are supposed to make you look younger.

Here are our results, I thought we both looked younger and stunning =). For those of you racking your brain to figure out who these people are...Katie Holmes and Shiloh Pitt.

The boys also needed some body altering tactics and opted for Ed Hardy tattooes courtesy of Uncle Andrew.

Matt took the kids over to his parents house so we could go out for a nice date. We went to TGI Friday's which is not part of our normal resturant circuit but will soon be added to it. Our meals were really good. Afterwards, on our date, we went to grocery--woo hoo. We are having some guests over tomorrow night for a cook out and needed to grab a few things. The day ended with the kids tucked in bed and Matt and I out on the trampoline looking at the stars with our new iPad app. called Skywalk. The perfect end to one perfect day.
