I can’t believe another week has gone by!! Time for an end of the week wrap-up with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday!

I’ve always loved putting a flower in my hair… makes it look like I put some effort into my daily ponytail. I’m thinking I need some sweepy bangs in the near future…

Went to the best 1st bday party ever! They had an In-N-Out Burger cookout truck.

Jealous much?

I just joined foursquare. It’s absolutely ridiculous but for some reason I have a crazy desire to be the mayor of Souplantation. We’ll be there every weekend to secure my position. We went this week and a fire truck zoomed by. We followed it… (try to impress your kids much?) and got to watch them put out a dumpster fire behind PetSmart.

Kiddos were thoroughly impressed! Total success!

Once again BabySteals got me. I love them! Get one!

Visited my parents for a Memorial Day BBQ (my dad makes the BEST smoked tri-tip EVER) and passed the local market.

Had a dinner picnic at our community pool. I’m pretty anti-soda, but there is something about drinking them out of the glass that makes my heart smile!

Remember how I was sick last week? No dishes got done… NONE! It was gross. REALLY gross. Thankfully my hubby eventually did them. I paid him in kisses. Lots of them!! (wink)

Proof Eli is a giant.

I’ve been a book club since Eli was 3 months old. I highly recommend it. This months book was Same Kind of Different as Me. You have to read it! We had our meeting at Paradise Perks Coffee House in Irvine and it was so much fun.

Every week Hot Hubby takes one kiddo out on a Daddy Date Night/Guys Night Out (depending on gender of kiddo) and this week was Cora Jane’s turn. Which means Eli got Mommy (almost) to himself. We played Legos and drooled over the Playmobile catalog. I adore this lil’ boy!

Today we were invited to Pretend City (post coming soon) to see the grand opening of the library and the dentist office. These lil’ fellows were in the library and for some reason I {heart} them!

Follow me on Instagram @ElisLids to see all this fun through the week! (AND so I can follow you!)

If you are a So Cal local, be sure to enter my giveaway for unlimited tickets to weekend Kidtoons over at the Anaheim GardenWalk.

Happy Weekend!

I knew this day would come.

Eli’s first LEGO set! 

I think Hot Hubby was digging it just as much as Eli.

Awesome!

Eli picked it up right away.

It must be a boy thing!

The finished product – a gas station, 2 cars and…

…a blissful boy!

If you “got” something and want to tell everybody about it? Add a link to your post in the comment section. Maybe you are a coupon maven and spent $23 on $233 worth of groceries, or you splurged at anthropologie (sigh), or won an awesome giveaway, or you got an awesome gift and want to honor that gifter… the list goes on!

Click here to see the explanation for each picture! Hope you like it. I promise it is pretty easy. I just did loads of pictures so it would be super clear.

DONE!

The dress shirt turned out awesome! Every time Eli has worn it people are shocked I made it from one of Hot Hubby’s old shirts.

I haven’t taken any pictures since I sewed on the front pocket. I’ll try to get some soon!

I hope you try this and have as much fun making the dress shirt as I did
