Friday Favorites #77

Happy Friday Foxy Friends! I have been trying to get over this stupid sinus stuff right now, miserable would best describe my state of being the last few days. Boo. At least I can work from home so I don't have to take PTO or I would have to be totally miserable at work. Enough of the poor me stuff, onto some of my favorites from the week. Warning: Picture heavy post coming your way.
 


In case you missed it on the blog this week:

Monday - All about my Tribe
Tuesday - What's in My Junk Drawer
Wednesday - Pick, Pair, Share: A New Style Prompt To Help You Get Dressed This Summer
Thursday - Sentence A Day in June

We showed up on Sunday to my cousins thinking we were just going to decorate our scooters for the 4th of July parade, but to our surprise her house was totally decked out and she was actually having a party for decorating! Say what?! haha...good surprise.



At least I could help make some of the fun red, white and blue snacks.






Then of course the bike decorating...

And don't you always end a good party with some dancing?


4th of July was super fun. We spent the night at my cousins house, a first for us and let me tell you we put the kids to bed around 9pm, we went to bed at midnight, and Baby Fox was awake, then when I got up at 3:30 to go to the bathroom, Baby Fox was sneaking around looking to see who was sleeping (caught!) and then he got up for the day at 6am...to say he was lacking sleep would be an understatement. My cousin made some flag waffles.


And then we headed out to the parade.



 

 

Let me tell you, Mini Fox did amazing! She rode the whole course on her scooter, it was crazy, she looked so little on the scooter, scooting around. But she rocked the whole course...meanwhile her brother was not having such a good time. Remember the lack of sleep, caught up to him and he was all tears almost the whole way, poor thing. But he rallied for lunch and then took a great nap.

We headed to my Aunt and Uncle's house for some swimming and eating.


Cousin picture...wish everyone could have been there!


And then the fireworks...so much fun.


A little hot chocolate to start out the wait. The kids kept calling it their coffee, it was so cute.




Headphones on.


This one just slept the whole time.



Once the show started this one just could not get enough. She loved it.




Love that she copies her brother with the finger sucking since we got rid of her pacifiers. Which for the record she still asks about almost daily and it's been a month!


Tuesday Mr. and I decided to ditch work and since the kids were taken care of do a little day date. So we went to our favorite pre-kid breakfast place...so good, but totally not a place for kids.


Then we hit up some shopping, Mr. ALWAYS finds clothes when go out together, I never find any. He got 3 pairs of pants and a dress shirt from Banana for a super good deal.


Then we hit up a movie, we saw Independence Day, we loved it, it was totally our kind of movie. Not that much thinking, lots of stuff blowing up and a potential for a sequel.

Other random pictures...backing up to Friday after swim lessons we headed to Whole Foods for their Pizza, best deal around if you ask us. Super good pizza and at a reasonable price. Anyway, it takes about 30 minutes, so what do you do while you're waiting? Play hide and seek of course.

She's counting...one, two, three, four, five, ten, sixteen...


Then we hid from Mini Fox and Mr...


Then they all wanted to hide from me...


We had some friends over on Saturday for some play time and dinner, these kids are just too cute...and what do you think they were doing...


Yep of course playing on the iPad, at least they were all getting along.


I actually posted some videos to my YouTube Channel, I've been so busy doing other things, YouTube has taken a back seat. I have a few videos recorded, but editing...oh the editing takes forever sometimes. Anyway, did a quick one of Mini Fox's ISR lessons, she's graduated into testing the waters out with clothes. Here is her Summer clothes.


 
I also got a Target Beauty Box, and for the month of June they had a Men's Beauty Box which of course we had to get too. Mr. loved it, and was hoping they had another one for July, but they didn't, they had two different boxes for us women! Did you get a Target Beauty Box for July? I hope you snagged one up!

 
 

 
That's it friends. Saturday we're getting together with some of my junior high friends, looking forward to seeing them, I haven't seen some of them in 2 years, so it will be good to see them and their kids. Then we're headed to my Aunt and Uncle's for dinner, can't wait! Sunday we're meal prepping, we're going to try the 21 day fix meal plan. Wish us luck! We can do anything for 21 days right? Missiong #GetCaboReady here we come!  What are you up to this weekend? Anything fun and exciting?

Pick, Pair, Share and Hair Challenge Week 27

Happy Wednesday! Hard coming back after a 5 day break. We had a blast going to my cousins to spend the 4th. More on that on Friday. We ended Create 28 last week, click here for the full recap on The Blended Blog.  Today we are introducing a fun summer casual challenge, Pick, Pair, Share, easy as that. Pick one from each category and have fun, #theblendedblogstyle on social media.

 
I decided with black, polka dot skirt. I actually bought this skirt off of Kiss Me Darling when I saw this skirt on her blog I was jealous and then a year or so later she was selling it, SOLD! So excited that I got it. Her pictures are gorgeous:
 
 
 
Here is how I styled it.
 



This skirt is seriously so comfy and light weight, perfect for summer.


I did my hair super easy, half up styles are my favorite.


 
Onto my hair styles this week...

Friday I had a day off, so I had time to do my hair before taking Baby Fox to school.



Sunday I went to my cousins to hang out, and didn't know that she was having a party! Like we showed up and her house was all decorated and I was like what's going on? She's like I thought you knew 30 people are coming over for a pre 4th celebration! I was like, say what?! But it was super fun. I hadn't done my hair, but knowing people were coming, my hair felt naked, so I threw it up in some braids just as people were getting there.


These pictures were taken around 11pm, all tired and watching Batman Vs. Superman, which I really liked and I think the poor reviews are bogus.



Tuesday I had a day date with Mr. We both ditched worked and had the day together, going to breakfast, shopping and a movie, it was great!



Now let's see what you have been styling this week! Remember to tag #theblendedblogstyle if you decide to pick, pair, share!
