Weekend Recap: Birthday edition

Boy did we  have a fun weekend!  Before I get started, I'm guest posting for the first time ever over at Andrea's blog, The Blonde Ambitions.  Super exciting for me!  I love Andrea's blog--she's a sweetheart and I don't go a day without checking her blog.  Lots of fashion, delicious recipes, and all around fun inspiration--go check it out!

Now for the weekend recap.  Please tell me you watch American Pickers on the History Channel?

Saturday evening I took Mr. C to Red Pony for his birthday dinner and while waiting for our table, Mike Wolfe from American Pickers walked in with his girlfriend and another friend (who google tells me is a local musician and is filming something with Mike).  Cue my husband and I giggling like teenagers and telling each other to be cool.  We composed ourselves and did not approach him (although I reeeeaaaallly wanted to!).  Oh well!  I'm such a fan of the show.

Our dinner (shrimp and grits for me of course and an amazing special for Mr. C) was wonderful as always.  I wish I could share a picture but I could not get my nerve up to snap one.  I'm such a chicken!

There was also a bluegrass festival going on in downtown Franklin and we caught a little of it.  Old cars, pickin', cotton candy, snow cones, blow up monkeys (??), all the good fair stuff.  Here's a look:

*We couldn't resist bringing home some blow up monkeys.  The boys LOVED them.

*Totally unrelated but the picture of the boys is from our Sunday bike ride, my rascals are getting SO big.

And finally, our sweet nieces and nephews sent Mr. C a special message:

Cutest.thing.ever.

Sorry to be a little all over the place today. We really had a fun weekend and don't have too much planned this week thankfully.  Happy Monday!
