a weekend {not} worth blogging about

Some weekends just don't seem worth blogging about (and it feels like we've had a lot of those lately) but I want to remember these low key days with my family! Sometimes these are the days that matter most!
Friday evening I was feeling a little frustrated and stir crazy! I was hoping to go out of town but we weren't able to, so we had zero plans to look forward to. I'd asked Eric if we could go on a date, but we were having one heckuva time planning something, Mia was in a mood during dinner and I was frustrated with Eric because nothing was working out (as if that's his fault, ha ha! Sorry babe!) Just as I was walking away to get some space (while telling Eric that he and Mia were driving me to the loony bin, ha!) Eric snatched me up in a hug and asked if I wanted to go tour his work! That's not the most romantic suggestion but I was so excited (and a little bugged because I wanted to be annoyed with the world... am I the only one who gets in those moods? ha!) My weekend was looking up!
Saturday morning I went to piyo (it's my new favorite class at the gym!), the farmer's market and played with Mia. After she napped, Eric and I dropped her off with our friends (where she had the time of her life and was ticked when we came to pick her up, ha ha!) and drove out to his work. We got caught in the craziest rain/hail storm! It was so bad we could hardly see while driving! We arrived to his work, an iron mill, to the worst flooding Eric has ever seen out there! The storm limited my tour to just the mill, but I can't wait to go back out and have Eric show me the mining pits and everything else I missed. Anyway, Eric is the electrical superintendent of the mill and it was so eye opening to see the machinery he works with! It's kind of mind blowing that Eric understands what it takes electrically for that place to run, and if he doesn't understand when something breaks down? You better believe he learns what it needs to start running again! It's not a glamorous job and Eric comes home dirty each day, but he's good at what he does and passionate about the work! I'm just so incredibly proud to call that hard working man mine! We ended the night by stuffing our faces with good food and good friends! (Thanks for babysitting Kort and Jord!)
Sunday was so good! The temps dropped thanks to the storm and it continued to rain for most of the day! Mia was in and out of the house all day playing in the water :) I couldn't resist pulling out the fall decor and making a pot of soup! Mia loves the decorations! She checked out every single pumpkin, wreath, garland etc and took her time staring them down and saying "yes!" each time we asked her if she liked it :) We even pulled out the hot chocolate, Mia's first time having a cup, and she loved it so much that she threw a fit when hers was gone. Obviously she gets her attitude from her daddy ;) So this weekend wasn't much for making conversation on the blog, but it turned out just perfect so I had to document!
