Happy Monday!  This weekend was a crazy whirl of activity for me…. Friday I worked at Sweet Clover, and about an hour after I came home some friends came over for sushi and wine.  YUM.  Chris and the kids had left earlier in the day for his little brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner.  Saturday morning, I woke, threw my things in a suitcase (literally threw and realized when I got there I had “thrown” in the wrong bra in my hurry!  It all worked out OK though.  I headed down to Lexington, Virginia and joined my family for the wedding.  Chris and his father were the best men, and Emmy was a flower girl, so that left me with a very handsome Sawyer for a date.  I definitely had the best looking date in the place.  The ceremony was beautiful, and the bride…. stunning!  I failed at taking pictures of her, and took none at the reception, where I spent way too  much time shaking my groove thing on the dance floor!  At 10:15 pm the kids were asking if we could go- they were exhausted!  I wanted to stay and keep dancing but motherly duties called.  Emmy had also been dancing all night- she was a riot!

I am in recovery mode now, and thought I’d just share some of my instagrams (cassie8978) from the wedding weekend!

Before the festivities, my kids played with their cousin, Bernie.  I had already done Emmy’s hair in preparation for her flower girl role.

After I got myself ready, Emmy and I did a little selfie in the hotel room….

I shared this photo for anyone who wanted to see the whole dress…. I was pretty proud of myself because I had been tempted to buy a new dress.  This dress is maybe 8 or so years old from Ann Taylor Loft, but it’s a classic print, and has a vintage feel with the lace trim, so I decided to use it, with some snakeskin look kitten heels I purchased maybe 3 years ago from Target.  Budget wedding guest, right here.

Sawyer and I headed outside to watch the men being photographed.  The photographer grouped all the men in the family together for one shot, so I snapped a picture.  My handsome men are on the left, and the groom is in the center.  Yes, Chris’ little brother is like a foot taller.

I didn’t instagram this one, but these two love their electronics!

Me and my handsome date…

And I snapped this quickly of Emmy at the reception because I hadn’t yet taken a picture of her in her dress…. she looked so beautiful!  And she did a wonderful job- she was meant to be on stage in front of people. πŸ˜‰

And now, after that whirlwind wedding weekend, we are headed off to the first day of first and third grade!  Wish us luck!

    You look gorgeous as does the entire fam!

    I hope the kids have a great day at school. So far, the boys have been happy. It’s been really good for the very extraverted Brendan! And I’m enjoying some peace and quiet…even thought I miss them terribly!

    Lovely family photos. But, I’m surprised that your dress isn’t the colour “Provence!”
