Weekend Update

I’m linking up with Dana, Leeann, & Sami for the WEEKEND WRAPUP.  And yes, this IS my second post on a SUNDAY.  Who am I?!  See, I told you I loved a good linkup!

I should really call this Weekend-In-Instagram since that’s pretty much what I’ve put together.  Thank God for Instagram for helping me remember what I do every day…

Anyhoo… we had a super low-key weekend which was much appreciated, since summer is here and we probably won’t have any full weekends totally at home for awhile.

On Friday, I went HARD CORE on The Great Weight Loss Challenge of June 2012.  Brace yourselves, my friends.  I ate an APPLE and went for not one, but TWO WALKS.  Wow.  Big things here kids, big things. 

Yes, I care more about picking a semi-cute workout outfit than actually working out.

Benjamin and I took a nice 2-mile spin through the ‘hood, and then another 2-miler with Derek when he came home.  Irritating, because I used to go on 3-mile ‘hood walks until Cooper was attacked by some crazy-ass honey badger boxer, so now we have to shorten the walk to avoid the other dog.  So, before, Friday’s walks would have totaled 5 miles, which sounds somewhat impressive – but now, they only totaled 4 miles, which is only one extra mile beyond what I used to do daily hardly ever.

In between the walks, Ben nearly gave me a heart attack when he face-planted into a giant plastic toy.  And by heart attack, I mean I was not fearing for his safety, but rather, the condition of his sweet face for his 6-month photo shoot on Sunday.  PRIORITIES!

Luckily, it only looked bruisey temporarily, and he was just as cute as ever for the pictures.

Saturday was a bit of a lazy day.  Derek worked and did yardwork (shocker).  I took out our Baby Bullet for the first time, washed everything, and read all the books that came with it, in preparation for The Big First Food Day.  Hoping to cover that in a separate post later this week!

We found out that Ben loves sitting in his stroller outside, so he chilled next to me while I read up on purees (and then later snuck in my first ever Skinnygirl margarita {how have I held out this long?!} with some pages of 50 Shades). Thrills, people, thrills; we live exciting lives here at the Cookies For Breakfast household.

Sunday was the big photo shoot day, and included waking up at 7 to lay out all of Ben’s potential clothes, and getting other miscellaneous things ready.  Know how many of these 9 outfits he wore? 1.5.  But whatever, always be prepared, right?

After the shoot, I had to do my own mini-shoot since our Benny looked so cute and I had to take advantage.  I’ll spare you the million pics I took and share my favorite highlight:

This has totally replaced The Pool Picture as my favorite Ben picture of all time.

We ended the day by spending some family time with Ben in his pool (okay, he was the only one IN the pool, but we were in the water in spirit).

And that, my friends, was our weekend!

Did you all do anything exciting?
