Relaxified

So I have to start by telling the story of "relaxify" - a friend of ours was at a gas station once when a guy cut in front of him and took the pump he intended to drive up to.  My friend called the guy out on it and the guy was like "whoa, dude, you need to relaxify yosef'" (yes he said "yosef, not yourself).  Ever since then it's been a bit of a joke with us!

Anyway, we relaxified ourselves this weekend.  We had a great weekend at the cabin.  It was a nice lazy, relaxing weekend.  So much so,that I barely took any pictures.  I had intended to - I even had my wonderful photographer friend give me a lesson on Thursday on how better to use Nate's nice camera, I brought it with me and everything and in the end we did so much just kind of sitting around and vegging, there wasn't much opportunity for good pictures.  We didn't even get Oliver on the boat sadly.  Instead, we just enjoyed some time with our family and friends, played a lot of cards, sat in the hot tub after Ollie went to bed and again, just relaxed.

Ollie has this "relaxing thing" down pretty well

We did check out a couple of flea markets too while we were up there, but sadly did not find anything worth buying.  Well ok, I did find some stuff I wanted for me, but darn shopping ban, I had will power and walked away.  It was still fun to check them out!

There is nothing wrong with a low key weekend like that.  Sometimes we're just so go, go, go, it's good to slow down and "relaxify". I do look forward to going up north with Oliver next year - I think he'll appreciate it much more when he's up and running around and can play and explore!

Did you have a good weekend?

  3. That's sounds like a great weekend, sometimes the best moments are the ones without the camera in hand! I also love the word relaxify, that is hilarious!

  4. We had that camping this weekend...a whole lot of doing nothing and it was just what we needed! I'm glad you had a good weekend!

  5. I totally agree, sometimes a weekend like that is just what you need. And I'm terrible at remembering to take pictures during relaxing weekends like that--I think it's a good thing though, every now and then we need to just live in the moment. Glad it was fun!

  7. Haha, everyone deserves to relaxify themselves every once in awhile! My husband and I are hoping to get a weekend like this sometime in September and I'm definitely looking forward to it (although I better get to planning!).

  8. Yup, we all need to do that. Especially in Summer when the heat slows us down. Not for nothin', but I'm clinging to the notion that you had Ollie just as a constant source of blog-material. Slap a picture of your cute prince up on the blog and you're done with a post!

  9. This past weekend was a relaxify weekend for us as well. The previous weekend was all wedding, the coming up weekend is busy... so it was nice to do NOTHING! :-)

  10. Relaxify--I like it! I'm going to have to use that one. Sometimes those are the best ways to spend time--even if they aren't "documented". Glad you got to enjoy yourselves!
