Weekend Catchup

Friday night we went to a local seafood restaurant where I had the most delicious shrimp and grits in my life! Y'all, I can't even explain how good they are! Shrimp and Grits are a southern staple, and it's hard to beat fried shrimp and grits that you make at home, but these little babies were spot on!

The view on the drive was breathtaking!

...and the marsh view from the restaurant was even better!

one last pic before the sun set!

The booths in the restaurant are surrounded by fish tanks, and this little fella watched us the entire time we ate...

Saturday morning the princess and I attempted an art project I saw on Pinterest a long time ago, here is the picture I saw

Here is how we did it...

We wanted to use girly colors, so I let the princess pick and she came up with a hot pink, light purple and neon green, you'll also need painters tape, a pack of soft brushes pictured here, and two canvases.

Using the painters tape, tape the canvas using diagonal lines, but make sure you match the lines up with the sister canvas, pictured below.

Get your paints ready...

Have fun and paint whatever you want to.

This was the finished product before we pulled the tape off.

...and this is the finished product.

We had so much fun doing this and it turned out so cute to hang in her room!

I love to paint, I wouldn't say I'm any good at it, but I just love to freehand, like my oversized blue crab with his tiny little claws?

Sunday we relaxed, played some basketball and that ended abruptly b/c the hubs got stung by a wasp...which resulted in him complaining about that relentlessly, including this morning. Men can be such the biggest babies, but I sure do love him :)
