weekend things.

so i told you we had lots of plans for the weekend. and i promised lots of pictures of said plans. well, i kinda failed. but whatev. i do what i want.

first, i need to give a little update on our beautiful pumpkins. so remember my awesome cat pumpkin and austin's creepy smiling pumpkin?

yeah. well a mere two days after we put them on the porch, things fell apart. my cat began caving in... and molding. yuck. this is what it looks like now, just a short week after carving it.

but austin's actually looks really funny. the creepy smile has now begun to cave in on itself, making the pumpkin look like a grandma pumpkin who has no teeth. it makes me laugh.

please note that even though they are both molding and collapsing, we still have them on the porch. my pumpkin even fell over on its back so you can't even see that it was carved, yet its still hanging out on the porch. oh well.

i also wanted to share that austin's pumpkin had a safe ride down to our house from the mountain. buckle up, for love, buckle up {i still sing this song all the time, mom}.

anyway, back to this weekend. saturday night we all went to austin's cousin's wedding up on signal mountain. the wedding was gorgeous and i absolutely loved the bride's dress. of course, i suck and got ze.ro. pictures of the bride, groom, ceremony or the reception or any of us at either of those. i did, however, force austin to take a picture with me once we got home before we both changed out of our fancy-schmancy clothes.

on sunday i attended a bridal shower for bride-to-be brianne. the set-up of all the food was picture perfect! bri's maid of honor, amy, did a great job of setting up everything.

and check out the pretty little framed monogram that amy {and her husband} put together for brianne! i absolutely love it and am adding it to my list of things to make. 

we all said we should take a picture and pin it on pinterest. but we were joking. because it would be silly to go out of our way to add something to pinterest just so we could pin it. i mean, at least kind of joking. cause i'm probably going to do it.

and now here's little miss bri herself opening some gifts.

amy included little recipe cards for us to share our favorite recipes with brianne. super cute!

we had a great time and i got to meet sarah's little boy for the first time. he's super cute and was so good hanging out with all us girls. and let's just be honest, we really spent most of the time gossiping just chatting and catching up with each other. oh and playing with the baby. bri's wedding is getting so close and i know we're all super excited and happy and anxious for her big day to get here!

so there, i kinda halfway came through on my promise of weekend pictures. but not really. what can you do?

and for anyone's who's wondering, why yes, my birthday is one week from today.

just saying.
