Birthday. Bowling. Backdated... ;)

Rob left early for work today, before I was fully coherent, so when I finally woke up, it was to these two...

gahhhh... love these meatballs to pieces! | #stellapittie & #sashapittie

^ How could you possibly be mad about that?
... well, when Sasha is on the bed, in your face, eating your hair... haha ;)
..... but seriously, I love it.. and I miss these two.

Oh, and some shameless selfies... experimenting with BW vs. Color qualities from my phone .. because I had that much time to myself this morning & because my cousin just hooked it up on Sephora gear that I still have no idea how to use... haha.

I spent the morning tidying up a bit, and started putting some final touches on the little art projets I'm doing. No pictures for you blogbots just yet; a couple of these are surprises for a few people and I'd hate to give spoilers! ;) I'll show & tell once all's said and done.

Anywhoooo... Rob got off work and came back to the house.. we spent the better part of the early afternoon just relaxing, which we both welcomed after long weeks.. him especially after working a busy Saturday morning. Good thing, too, because after that we were off to Kyle's for Dalten's 7th birthday party [HBD, Dalten!!]

Rob & I of course made it a point to act our age and then some, too...

reasons i ♥ him, continued....

Once the birthday festivities were over, it was back to the house to spend some time with the dogs and sneak in a nap, because let's face it.. it's Saturday.. and well, we can. (: No shame there! Again, probably the best thing we did with the early evening, because by 9:00, we were out with some of Rob's friends for bowling in Fairview & what turned out to be a driveway lounge until about 3ish? in the morning. The boys were boys, for sure, while Taryn, Paris & I decided we're way too old to be awake at that hour, and all but fell asleep before we all headed our separate ways. It was definitely a late night, but super low key and most definitely not one that I minded. I of course managed to meet some great new faces tonight, which made for great company and fun conversation.

No complaints here (:
Tomorrow = boating... & ??
G'Nite!

And a Happy Hump Day to You

Remember when we [Catie & I] stopped at CLR-MNSTR over in St. Louis that day on our return route from City Museum? Well.... I decided today would be an ideal day to sport one of the cute finds I brought home that day. I'm not typically an OOTD type of person, but for all intensive Instagram purposes, I was today. Haha. 

ootd? sure. &&thank you, clr-mnstr!

I was on an instagram kick today and thought I would share with the class the lunch which I'm sure would make my mother cringe if she knew it was the only thing I consumed during the lunch hour. I don't care; these are in fact a few of my favorite things, and I'll sacrifice one day of healthy living to do some enjoying. (:

the fantasy lunch of my inner kid self... haha

Back at home, Sydni and I wrapped up some of our last-minute touches to Valentines Day cards & gifts; I got a text earlier in the day from Mo, wanting to stop by for a few minutes after church to see us. She didn't stay long, but we did get to meet little baby Natalie for the first time!! Sydni loves babies, so it was quite the treat for her to see another one so little. 

baby natalie!!

Tomorrow is the BIG BAD VALENTINES DAY..... or Singles Awareness Day... whichever you prefer. Personally, I don't get too hyped about VDay, but to each his own (: It's bed time for us.
