From Saturday to Today, Our Week {10.23.2013}

This past weekend, Erik's mom and I attended Katy Market Day as vendors. She sells custom handmade crosses, gift baskets, and stunning wreaths. Her business name is 2 Basket Cases (check them out on Facebook and be sure to order your custom handmade crosses, wreaths, and gift baskets for the upcoming holidays). I sell baby bows, custom baby bibs, burp cloths, and blankets. I have also recently started selling rompers, lace leggings, diaper covers, and so much more (you can visit my shop here)! We were supposed to stay and work our booths until 5pm, but it was so windy and there just weren't very many people, so we ran over to JCPenneys to buy Erik's birthday presents. His parents got him two new pairs of jeans, a really nice blue shirt, and new tennis shoes {which he really needed}. Later on that evening, we headed out to Texas Roadhouse {our go-to spot for birthday dinners}. We met with Erik's parents, and our best friends Will and Amanda. It was a really busy day, but it was so fun. Sunday, we enjoyed a late morning and decided to relax around the house until the Texans game. We always watch the game at Erik's parents house. It was such a beautiful day and being able to spend time with his parents is such a blessing. Monday, Erik had work and then had to go to school. Tuesday was Erik's 22nd birthday. We celebrated by surprising him with a delicious steak dinner which also included chopped up and fried potatoes, deviled eggs {mine and Erik's favorite side dish}, and FHA cookies {which to my surprise, I loved them!!! and I am not the dessert type}. He was so surprised because he thought that we were just going to his parents house to drop off keys, not to mention, he got to eat a huge steak and we went home and he was completely stuffed.

Every morning, I try to get up with Erik and help get his stuff ready for work that day. Typically, I try to go back to sleep so that I can get some rest, but this morning I decided to just stay up and do laundry. We had soooo much laundry left over from our previous apartment when our old washer and dryer broke. When we bought our new washer and dryer, we thought we would be able to get all the laundry done before moving, but that didn't work. I have managed to get all but one and a half laundry baskets completed. I have a really good feeling that I will be able to have all the laundry done today, which would be such a relief.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Erik has to attend school on Saturday for a few hours to make up for taking off on my birthday, but afterwards we get to attend a wedding for a friend that Erik and I have known since elementary. I am hoping that Sunday we can visit Dewberry Farm, a huge outdoor place with a pumpkin patch and sooo much more. I am praying we can take pumpkin patch pictures because they are my absolute favorite. I also want to take Christmas pictures. I want to make it a habit to take yearly photos. I think it will be especially important when we have kids.

Hoping to post pictures from this weekend of the wedding and pumpkin patch.

My laundry today....that's not even half of it!!!

Brooks just couldn't help but give daddy kisses for his birthday.

Daddy finally came home! Time to celebrate his 22nd birthday!

Chief was waiting for daddy to get home so we could celebrate his birthday!

Brooks was also waiting for daddy to arrive so we could celebrate!

So I've been brunette for quite some time but recently decided I was ready for a change and went ahead and dyed my hair back to blonde!!! 

Brooks decided she wanted to model one of the bows I made...doesn't she look darling??

Here is the side of our booth from Saturday. The tutus and outfits you see are sold by 2 Basket Cases.

This is the front of our booth from Saturday. The wreaths you see were handmade by Erik's mom....order your custom wreath and cross NOW!!!

Here are a few of the bows I have made. If you would like to order bows, they are just $1.50 each. I make them completely custom from ribbon colors, bow style, and I can also embroider them. Visit my website (link above) to order NOW!

Here is a photo of some of the bows laid out, you can also see the custom blanket (can be any color or fabric, and we can embroider), and the bib and burp cloth (again, these can be completely customized and embroidered...ORDER NOW!)

Here is a picture of me and my sweet husband at dinner on Saturday before everyone arrived. My hair looks brunette, but it really is blonde.
