Busy Weekends for the Brownings

Well, we've been busy here at Casa de Browning. It's that time of year at school where students and teachers alike are feeling spring fever and the longings for summer vacation. This teacher is ready for June. We've got two vacations planned and are excited about each of them. Mr. B and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage this summer, so our anniversary vacation is set to be amazing! Our weekends have begun to fill up with lots of bustling activity. This current weekend is free and relaxing for us, especially since Mr. B somehow managed to get Saturday off. We decided to spend our weekend just relaxing in front of the TV with some pizza and wings (our staple on Fridays, apparently).
Last weekend was Easter weekend, and a busy one for us. I was fortunate to have a 3-day weekend. I used my Friday morning/afternoon exploring some new opportunities for me. Hopefully the fruits of my labor will pay off soon. Friday night we had a couple of friends over for game night. We did this a few weeks ago with friends from church and had so much fun we decided to do it again. You can read about that post here for the funny events of that night. This time we had one of my teacher friends from work and her husband over. We played some Nertz and Scategories and some great laughs. You know I took some of the funnier and more ridiculous answers to record here. Again, I will not reveal the name of who said what to protect them from shame and embarrassment. HaHa!
  • The letter is E and after the first answer, said person decides to switch to letter L for every other answer for no apparent reason
  • This one is always funny (see last post for "wet pants" excuse): excuses for being late for letter I-ice pick stab
  • Capitals that start with H: Hiroshima: "you know, where Pearl Habor happened!"
  • Sports equipment that starts with H: hopscotch
  • Things that are sticky that start with R: one person says "rugs" while everyone disputes this because rugs aren't sticky but floors are sticky. Said person then says: "Ahhhh, I should have said floors!" Uhhhh....if was letter R, not letter F!
  • Sports that start with letter N: nets
I wish I would have thought to take a group selfie of us to commemorate the evening:(
I love this game. It always brings out the funniest answers. It's funny to see what people come up with when under the pressure of a timer. Maybe this is why I'm addicted to Family Feud. Yeah, I admit it.

Saturday night, we went painting again. We went with our friends from church who came to our last game night. We started with dinner at Fuzzy's Tacos. Dinner Selfie with my love:
We went to our favorite art studio in Grapevine, Art in the Vine. They always have a Groupon available which pretty much gets you in for half price. I used my free class coupon that I won last time we attended a class. Now we have 2 business cards that have 5 punches. That means, we have 2 free classes!!! This is a great studio if you are looking for a fun painting experience. We always enjoy our time there. As you know, Mr. B and I love to display our art around our house. We've got our own personal art gallery displayed around our home. I love that it gives our home a very personal feel to it. This painting represented our wedding date and our upcoming 5th anniversary. We honeymooned in the Bahamas, and this year we will vacation in Riviera Maya, Mexico. So we painted a joint beach depicting both these dates and locations. 
Our good friend, Bryant, joked the whole time since we planned this outing about how he was going to do his own thing with the painting. Well, he certainly delivered. He was definitely the talk of the class, that's for sure. Everyone had beautiful, serene beaches. He decided to turn his into a Jaws re-enactment. He painted shark fins in the water, people running away on the beach, a body lying on the beach with half a leg with blood, blood in the water, and to top it off....2 little crabs. He didn't want to be caught in the act of painting, but Elizabeth and I were sneaking about capturing the moment.

More painting selfie fun:


Easter Sunday I went to church while Mr. B had to work. That evening, we had dinner with his parents. I took the liberty to surprise my love with a few Easter treats:


Also, I may or or may not have finally persuaded Mr. B that pastels are a good choice in clothing:)

He is a man of black and gray. Now, he wears pastels. #wifepower

Stay tuned: Next week my family is coming to town for a fun-filled weekend. Of course, I am so excited because I finally get to meet this little man:

Auntie Ashley is going to love all over him all weekend. I guess I'll let Uncle Cooper get in on the loving, too!
