Weekend = Uneventful, but relaxing

As the title of this post states, my Labor Day weekend was pretty uneventful.   I'll recap the "highlights" for you, although I use the word "highlight" loosely.

Saturday morning was spent trying to keep up with the little munchkin below. 

Reese insisted my nails had to be pink, and he would paint my right hand for me. So sweet, you shouldn't have. No really, you shouldn't have.  I am in the beginning stages of packing for my big move on October 1, and he decided he wanted to take a nap in one of my storage tubs. This kid! He came running out of my bathroom with a leopard headband on (don't ask) and said to me, "Look Aunt Lindsey, don't I look beautiful?" My brother wasn't too happy about this when I text him the pic. Whoopies.

Saturday evening I went over to my friend's house and watched my Red Raiders beat Texas State in our first non-conference game of the season!  We did a little celebrating after the game, which resulted in a 1 a.m. In-N-Out run.  Bad idea.  My scale said "FAT" when I stepped on it this morning.  You think I'm kidding.

Sunday I FINALLY got to see The Help, which was amazing on so many levels.  I have not cried this hard in a movie since P.S. I Love You.  The part where Skeeter finally hears the truth about Constantine? Umm ... cue the water works and they didn't stop until the lights in the theater came on.   I looked a hot mess.

Celia Foote played by Jessica Chastain was my favorite character without a doubt.  I loved her bubbly personality and she made me laugh out loud on several occasions.   Her style was to die (hello hot pink benefit dress) although Skeeter played by Emma Stone was a close second.

This trick Hilly though? I wanted to punch her in the face!

And I'm still bummed about the situation with Stuart played by Chris Lowell from Private Practice. 

Last but not least, these 2 ladies made the movie. I vote Oscar.

On Labor Day I went to the grocery store, then to Target and attempted to clean the crack den.  I fixed my "Nails by Reese" with this new essie color I ordered online a few weeks ago:

I ended the night enjoying a slow cooker recipe I found via Pinterest.  Very easy to make and yummy in my tummy.  Perfect for Fall and the recipe is below:
