We went to visit my family last weekend and that picture up there just about sums it up these days. :) Who knew my brother could make such awesome cosmos and appletinis.

We had a great time. My brother’s kids are 13 and 17 so they just had a good time laughing at all the sauced adults. My little sister has a 9.5 month old so once her baby and my 2.5 year old were in bed in was let the good times roll. At least for me anyway. :)

I don’t drink much anymore. What with the whole loosing weight thing and the whole zero tolerance thing. I had two drinks both Friday and Saturday nights and lets just say I slept really, really well both of those nights. Plus it was loads of fun to hang out with my sister, sister-in-law, and my brother. My husband and brother-in-law ran off somewhere to discuss music or something, I don’t know, they disappeared.

Boog had an awesome time with all his extended family and basked in all the attention. He did have some jealous moments when anyone paid any attention to my nephew, other than his parents of course. If I, my husband or my brother had anything to do with my nephew Boog was right up in your face all of the sudden. And yet he asks for a sibling. I don’t think he quite understands what having a sibling means. :)

There was a lot of swimming. First at my grandparents house and then at my mom’s boyfriend’s house. Boog does not want to wear any sort of flotation device but cannot swim yet. It’s tiring all around. Luckily there were many hands to hold on to him and pass him on.

It was a weekend of decadence for us all. Boog partook of his first yoohoo, definitely a hit. And I ate and ate like there was no tomorrow AND I only worked out once. Sometimes you just gotta do that. I was in a serious plateau in my weight loss and I think falling off the wagon might have snapped me out of it cause I lost 1.9 pounds this week.

Now I’m dreaming of our annual beach vacation to Hilton Head in less than a month. I’ve been furloughed at work the Friday before Labor Day. I’d already asked for that day off and now I have it off automatically. I just don’t get paid for it now. Instead I’ve moved my vacation day to the Thursday before and I think my family is gonna head down a day early. My sister’s family and my mom will be down the next day. It should be fun and that will officially end our summer.

Before I know it, it’ll be time for my birthday, then my husband’s, then Boogs and the year will be over. Time sure does fly, especially when my baby is turning into a little boy right before my eyes.
