T.G.I. the weekend update: The weekend was wonderful as most of it was spent with friends and family. On Saturday my mom and I ran around to a few stores and I watched Sid as she “helped” Grandpa pick up walnuts in my parents’ backyard. It reminded me of when us girls were kids and we’d get paid 25 cents per bucket that we picked up. Child labor was cheap!

Probably getting $5/bucket!

On Sunday we took advantage of the cooler weather and made our way to Picket Fence Creamery for their State Fair Sample Sunday event. Their fresh peach ice cream was sure tasty!

In the afternoon we celebrated our niece Sofia’s 2nd birthday. Could she be any cuter in her stylish party outfit?

Pretty little lady

Fia’s 2nd birthday

A meeting of the minds

Speaking of 2nd birthday parties, the Bean’s is quickly approaching and of course we’ve had the theme picked out for almost a year now . It will be based on her favorite show, Sesame Street, but we’ll call it Sidney Street. My sisters and I have been collecting ideas in our Pinterest group for a while, but here are a few of my faves.

On Auntie Cole’s to do list: Design the invites for the party.
