Talk To Us Tuesday ~ Natalie

YAY for Tuesdays! I love Tuesdays, it's the day were I can talk about anything and y'all will listen. Right, you do listen don't you? 


Last week we had 31 people link up...thank you! This has been so much fun! Since IA and I started hosting TTUT 7 weeks ago I have had more fun going blog to blog reading your randomness. Each week I have found new friends, I love this meme! The best part of TTUT? No. Rules. Yep, that right none, zip, nada! Take our button if you want {we may or may not love you more if you do} it's up to you. Post a random story, recipe, craft or whatever, we don't care what you want to talk about because we're friends and we're here for you no matter what! 




Seriously Shawn


***********************

Two weeks ago the girls and I went to visit my friend Natalie for her birthday. I'd like to say we went for the weekend but since we drove 8 hours each way it was really more like a day and a half. We did manage to squeeze a lot of fun in though. Here's a taste of our visit.


Natalie is responsible for my blog and is one of my very best friends. Sadly she blogs next to never anymore, I guess that's what happens when you have a full time job and 2 little ones. 


Living in Florida I miss the colors of the trees and the smell of Fall, luckily I was able to enjoy just a little of it during my visit. We took the kids apple picking, something I haven't done since I was Peanuts age, they had such a good time searching the trees to fill their apple bags. Peanut was determined to climb a tree and pick an apple from the very top and like anything else she sets her mind to she was successful. After Natalie's birthday dinner we made homemade apple pies with the apples we picked ourselves. That was a first for Natalie's daughter and maybe even Natalie.


To avoid picture overload here's a collage of the weekend.


Of course Natalie and I enjoyed an adult beverage, courtesy of a very nice and very young man at the bar. Honey was nice enough to take the little ones home and come back to pick us up an hour later so we could enjoy a kid-free conversation.


Yep, we still have it! 

The last thing we did was make a video. Hopefully you'll find it as funny as we did/do!

Now it's your turn...link up...if you do we'll love you long time!

Oh I miss Apple trees and a real fall. You do have fun with your friends. I will be linking up in the morning when my post goes up :)

What? No pee? I had my popcorn ready and prepared myself to laugh hysterically! But it was still VERY funny. That dog is adorable! You leave him alone! And Natalie is beautiful--just like you. Awww...I'm feeling sweet at 11:30 at night.

Great pictures! I miss you so much already. Do we have to wait until May?

Date Girl said...

lol, it's not because I peed myself. OMG I love the Ewok puppy!! That was an awesome video. I seriously can't wait to record a video with you funny lady!

Apple picking sounds fun. I haven't done that in such a long time. I'm headed for a 9 hour road trip next weekend, but we get to stay a bit longer. Too bad you only had the weekend but it looks like you had a great time!

Stacie said...

I'm so jealous--you always look like you are doing such fun stuff. You need to talk about laundry or something boring, so I will feel better! Love that Tuesdays with you and IA have no rules--that is the best!

Apple picking was never fun when I was a kid. maybe having to pick up the gross ones from the ground in an effort to clean up killed it for my 10 year old self.
Glad you got some good times though.

Heather's Happenings said...

That is the cutiest little doggie.
So glad you had a great time. I could really use some adult time, terrible two's is about to drive me insane.

I picked apples in Western NY a loong time ago. Definitely don't do that in Florida!

Boobies said...

Awww, puppy! Who doesn't love that!

You're never NOT funny Shawn, and that's one of the reasons I LOVE you!

Homemade apple pie..with apples you even picked yourself? That's just too much for me to comprehend right now!

Jill said...
