Our weekend in review

Gosh, I love weekends!

And this weekend was a good, busy one.

Here's a quick recap:

Friday

Alexis goes to step aerobics

(not a joke)

Alexis goes on a walk with Lizzie and her baby

Alexis makes lotion

Alexis makes carrot cake cookies

Alexis makes way too many trips to the grocery store

because she keeps forgetting certain ingredients

Alexis mails a birthday package

Alexis wonders why shipping is so expensive

Alexis looks at what she did Friday morning and considers that she may be a grandma

trapped in a 23-year-old body

6 PM

Jason returns from Atlanta

Alexis is relieved

Alexis is worried Jason contracted Ebola

Alexis watches for symptoms

Jason seems to be okay

Alexis still not convinced

Jason and Alexis carve pumpkins

Alexis wants to make Cinderella's carriage

(since that was made out of pumpkin too!)

Jason obliges

Alexis paints the details while Jason inserts golden pretzel window supports

Alexis insists on drapes, because privacy

Jason creates drapes out of paper towels

then steals two decorative pumpkins for the wheels

Jason decides against using two yams as horses

because who wants to build a stagecoach platform

Aint nobody got time for that

The pumpkin carriage is complete!

Alexis tries to pose like a princess

Saturday

Alexis pretends she's a photographer and takes family photos

Alexis uploads photos and races to Gilbert to film a wedding

Jason meets up with her at the reception and purposely begins dancing like he's in a boy band

just to embarrass her

She's used to it by now

Alexis films sparkler exit and is stressed to the max because a grandpa was walking in front of the couple THE WHOLE TIME

Alexis gets over it and goes to bed

Sunday

Alexis wakes up and looks at the clock

Alexis freaks out

The alarm didn't go off and she and Jason are supposed to be at church NOW

to practice a song they're singing in sacrament meeting in 30 minutes

Alexis and Jason get ready in a whirlwind

all while singing come thou fount of every blessing

(with gospel-choir style riffs by Jason)

to warm up their voices because they don't really know the tune or the words of what they're supposed to be singing

Alexis and Jason arrive just in time for the sacrament

Jason frantically tries to learn his notes

and Alexis wonders what he's doing as he looks at the music

because he doesn't read music

Oh well

Thanks to a prayer and a deep breath it all worked out

Now

Alexis thinks a nap sounds pretty nice!

Looks like he beat me to it :)

Hope your weekend was a memorable one!
