Spoiling Alert

I am patiently waiting on my niece and nephew to be in Kansas City. I haven't seen them in 2 months (which is a lifetime if you ask me!). Last time I was going to see them I ended up with the flu and couldn't make it. So this weekend is double, trouble spoiling time! 

After work today I made Ariana a "pink" theme easter basket with all of her favorite things (bubbles, books, coloring book with magic markers, peeps, M&Ms, slippers, and candy..and candy!) Corbin got a green boy basket with a singing lion, baby fruit snacks (for  crawlers), a ball, swimming shorts, and a onsie that says "Chicks Dig Me" for Easter. 

I called Ariana a few hours ago and said "Ariana you'll never believe it, the Easter Bunny stopped by Aunt Amber's house early because he knew you were coming". Her response was (in a high screaming voice) "WHAT!!! OH MY GOSH, AUNT AMBER, I AM JUST TOO EXCITED. I hope the Easter bunny remembers my favorite candy". hahahaha.. seriously, how cute is she! 

She was also very concerned that he remembered Corbin because she'd hate to share her basket with him since he doesn't like the color pink... he's 9 months old! :) 

Our plan this weekend includes a visit to the train restaurant for lunch tomorrow (train delivers food to table) then to Monkey Business. It's a huge warehouse that's inflatable toys playground (adults can go on them with kids too!). Then we are having an easter egg hunt on our house. Fun filled, packed weekend with the kiddos :)

Mr. Melmann lost his "manhood" on Thursday.. he is recovering just great though. Can't even tell the guy had surgery - he's happy, playful, and eating fine. He is a bit sleepy, which I will enjoy (and take pictures of, of course). I'm sure he will be beat on Sunday after the kiddos leave; Ariana LOVES melmann - he's like a life size jungle gym that moves. 

 Also, this week we found out our cat has talents.. or he's just really fat and loves food. But he can stand and do circles. haha 

Happy Weekend!!

Whirlwind Weekend

As soon as the weather turns nice, our schedule turns crazy (but always fun!). It hit a record high this weekend of 90 degrees! On Thursday evening we purchased our first patio set with a huge table and 6 chairs. We've already used it 4 times since Thursday, needless to say we love it on our deck! We will most likely eat dinner on it every night this summer after work :)

On Saturday we went on a tour at the Boulevard Brewery. It was really cool, we learned how beer was made and got some free samples! There was 8 of us who went on the tour. Boulevard started in KC and we kept meaning to go on the tour but to make a reservation you have to plan months in advance. So way back in January I booked this weekend (well worth it!). Here are some pictures of the tour:

(if you cant tell, we hang out with same 8 people all the time! :) We love our KC friends)

 Getting testers: 

 We got 4 testers by giving the bartender a bottle cap:

 After the tour we ate some lunch and then headed to our place for an all day cookout/celebration in honor of our friends, Dane and Sara, who just got engaged. We played outdoor games, cooked burgers, and enjoyed the sunshine. We had over 35 people come!

 Hanging out!

 Mandy and Mr. Murphy!

So you can imagine how my Sunday was - clean house, get pedicure and relax on the couch :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
