Twin Tuesday [Babies First Football Game]

Another great weekend in the books and one week closer to meeting our little guys! 

Saturday morning, Cameron and I made the trip to Columbia for the South Carolina / ECU football game. Yes, you read that correctly. Cameron went to a USC football game. (For those that do not know, he is a Clemson grad and a die hard fan). The only way I got him to go to the game is because he put his foot in his own mouth by saying he'd only go to a USC game if he sat in a box. Well, my Uncle Jay has great connections and called Wednesday saying he got box seats! Cameron really had no choice at that point. :)

I will say though, I think he had a pretty good time. How could he not have? We had an awesome tailgate spot near nice, air conditioned, clean bathrooms (vs. nasty porta pottys), we rode up to our box with George Rogers (USC's Heisman award winner), saw Darius Rucker (sadly, didn't get to talk to him), and we sat in a box with our own bathroom (can you tell bathrooms are really important to me these days? haha), a catered meal, and all the booze one could drink!

Weekend Highlights.

This weekend was jam packed with activities and lots of celebrating! I'm looking forward to a low key holiday weekend coming up and then relaxing on our babymoon the following weekend! 

-I co-hosted a shower for one of my longest friends, Caroline! It was a woodlands themed shower, which goes along with Baby Ben's nursery. I'll do a separate post on it, but it all turned out really cute! 

-We celebrated Cameron's birthday with his parents with dinner at Indaco followed by cocktails (and mocktails) at 492. 

Appetizer: Burrata with shaved asparagus, pickled bluberries, and asparagus aioli

Recommend?: Yes! 

My Entree: Tonnarelli with lump crab meat, saffron, mint, breadcrumbs and paremesan

Recommend?: No. While the crab meat itself was tasty, there was no real flavor to this dish. 

Cameron's Entree: Garganelli with braised lamb, ricotta, herbs, and breadcrumbs

Recommend?: YES! I had major food envy with Cameron's dinner. It was much more flavorful that mine. 

Dessert: Espresso tart with chocolate ganache, biscotti, and espresso cream

Recommend?: Yes, how could you go wrong??

-Gus announced on his Instagram page that he was going to be a big brother x2!

That's a 3D pic of the babes!

-Cameron painted the nursery (yay!!!) while I did super fun stuff like laundry, de-cluttering, etc. 

-We celebrated June birthdays for my family, which are my sister, Cameron, my grandaddy, and my mom! My mom made the most amazing Kahlua cake with white russian icing! Reminded me of one of the layers of our wedding cake! 

Hope you all had a great weekend! Another Twin Tuesday post coming tomorrow! 

Weekend Catch Up.

This weekend was a pretty low key one, which I'm always ok with, especially right before the holidays where everything is go, go, go! 

Friday night, we had a girls night at Caroline's house and her co-worker did an Arbonne spa night for us. I was actually really impressed with their products and liked the fact that we got to try so many of them. Their products are pricier than what I would normally pay, but after learning what parabens really are and the fact that I turn 31 next month, it may be time to step up my skin care game. Have you tried Arbonne products before? Did you like them? 

Saturday just consisted of running errands, eating lunch at Five Loaves (yum), watching football, and grabbing a casual dinner at Outback. 

Sunday morning, a couple of family members on Cameron's side and I hosted a baby shower brunch for my sister-in-law, Nancy. She is due in January with our third niece (first baby for her, other sister in law has two girls) and we could not be more excited! It rained non-stop all day, but I think everyone still had a great time. There was some really yummy food and Nancy got some great, thoughtful gifts. 

Sunday afternoon we held our 2nd annual Friendsgiving at Kate's parent's house on Little Oak Island (almost to Folly Beach). There was everything from oysters, to fried turkey, to all of your go-to Thanksgiving sides and desserts. Could not wait to put my stretchy pants on when I got home. Friendsgiving is becoming more and more special with the addition of each little one. :)

Awesome view

Weekend {80's Party, Baby Shower Supper Club + Birthday Celebration}

Although this weekend, we were constantly covered in pollen, we had great weather and pollen is just a sign that Spring is here! 

This weekend, we encountered our first garden fail. In typical Megan fashion, I thought the landscape place closed at 2pm on Saturday..we pull up at 1:30pm with the trailer hooked up to the truck and the gates are closed. Sign says they close at 12pm. Woops. 

So instead, my mom and I went on a hunt for 80's gear for a surprise birthday party that Cameron and I attended that night, while Cameron did yard work. Goodwill definitely came through for my outfit, but I was disappointed in their men's 80's attire. Come on, Goodwill, update your inventory already! {joking}

Here's what we wore:

It was a blast!

Sunday we had another jam-packed day. 

First up was a supper club get-together to celebrate Baby Mac, who will be making an appearance next month! It was held at a beautiful home on Johns Island that is located on Bohicket Creek. The food, weather, and the company were all perfect. 

They are not finding out the sex of the baby!

My love

 

Dallas was so cute when he was playing with Lane!

From Johns Island, we headed to Summerville (felt like Thanksgiving or Christmas all over again with all of the driving back and forth), to celebrate my Grandma's birthday!

See all of the pollen on the table? It had been wiped down probably only 2 hours prior to this picture. 

My sister and I were on the same wavelength that day and bought the same card. You should have seen my face when Grandma Anna was reading the card out loud, knowing that it wasn't my card that she was reading. 

We stuffed ourselves to the brim with salad, grilled chicken, cheesy potatoes, zucchini boats, and chocolate cake. Got home and watched two episodes of Breaking Bad, then it was off to dreamland. 

Hope everyone has a great week! 

I have a feeling mine is going to be very interesting...

Emily's Baby Shower.

This past Saturday, myself and a handful of Emily's closest friends and family threw her a baby shower at her sister's house! Emily always throws the best showers and parties for her friends so we wanted to make it extra special for her and Baby Lane. 

Invitations, Wishes for Baby, and Menu Cards were purchased from Allison Kizer Designs on Etsy.

The guest of honor arriving to her shower!

Details, details, details...

I'll Eat You Up printable found here. L is for Lane FREE printable found here.

 

Cardboard letters painted white with washi tape.

Every week, Emily would take a picture of her bump and text it to me. I had them printed out so everyone could see the progression. 

(Picture taken before I realized that week 14 was upside down..) 

 Present time!

The sweetest gift from our friend, Kathryn. She always gives the most thoughtful gifts!

 The Chi Omega girls.

Tomorrow marks the one month countdown until his due date! Can't believe it!

Friday Five.

Wow, has it been quiet around here! When your husband and your friends start to mention it, you know it's time for a post. My apologies.

Last Sunday, we had a jam packed day. First, a surprise bday brunch for our friend, Tyler, at the always yummy, Fat Hen. Ever since this party was scheduled, I knew immediately that I was going to order the duck bbq sandwich with blue cheese coleslaw. Well, being that our reservation was at 10am due to our large group, I wasn't exactly feeling the heavy meal. Instead, I opted for the classic scrambled eggs, bacon cheese grits (amazing!), bacon, and toast.

Our two buddies, Ashton and Greyson.

The whole gang. Birthday boy on the far right.

After brunch, came TWO baby showers. First up was my sweet (and beautiful) friend, Frankie's, baby shower. She is due exactly a week before Emily but is not finding out the sex of the baby. I'm definitely feeling a girl for her so we'll just have to wait and see next month what it will be!

 

Next up, we headed to Amanda and Eric's co-ed baby shower. Sadly, no pics of the baby mama or daddy were taken, but I did run into Katie and Kerr! Love how our group of friends are intertwined.

 

Hot chocolate bar that gave me some great ideas for a special baby shower I'm throwing next month!

 

Super cute diaper wreath and cake! I've never seen a snowman diaper cake before.

I have a hard time finding a "specialty" coffee/tea for my Keurig that I won't get sick of after one box. They're usually all two sickly sweet for me. Enter the chai latte pods. I picked these up on Tuesday and they are SO GOOD. They taste almost as good as the Starbucks version!

Along with the chai lattes I picked up, I grabbed this Yankee Candle scent called "Pinecone & Lime." Why yes, it does sound like a very odd combination, but I promise it just makes your room smell like Christmas! I want to keep it lit all the time.

Tonight is our monthly supper club and there is a theme this go 'round! Tacky Christmas sweaters, duh. Cameron and I borrowed some sweaters from his cousin and y'all are going to be in for a treat on Monday. Let's just say that mine includes shoulder pads. So hot.

Wish I would have seen this one before though..


Can't believe Christmas is so close!
Have a great weekend!
