The Friday Five.

1.       So, it’s been FREEZING here in Cola this week.  Seriously, y’all.  We aren’t used to this kinda weather this early in the season around here.  RECORD low 23 degrees yesterday morning, ouch.  AND we got snow flurries/wintery mix one night, CAAARAAAZY.  So that means we’ve been eating lots of yummy chili and soups this week and relaxing by the fire at night.  YIPPPEEEE.  It ALWAYS gets cold early to mid-February (just not this cold) and then I swear by the time Thanksgiving rolls around it will be like SEVENTY.  UGH.  Although summer is my jam, I’ve said it before…I like it to be COLD (or at least chilly) during the holidays….we shall see. GAME forecast for Saturday is 70.  I rest my case. 

2.       We took Collins to Edventure for the first time on Tuesday night and we had such a good time.  Edventure is seriously the COOLEST place for kids.  It is pretty expensive…so we went on family night and it was only ONE DOLLAR admission.  Can’t beat that.  We may look into getting a membership once she turns two …. Best rainy day entertainment for sure. 


3.       We are in the midst of planning a HUGE 60th birthday bash for my AWESOME daddy and it is going to be SO much fun.  Since our family is a “house divided” (my dad and brother are Clemson fans and my mama and I are GAMECOCKS) that is the theme for the party…and since it is THE night before the big game.  We are doing an oyster roast and having lots of other yummy foods.  Should be a grand old time…the ladies met last night to plan decorations and we have deemed it a “redneck rodeo.”  I mean…let’s be honest…my daddy is NOT fancy and would NEVER want a fancy party.  This is going to be casual, laid back and country.  Just the way he wants it.  But, that doesn’t mean us ladies can’t try and pretty it up a little bitJ  Lanterns, burlap, twigs, bales of hay…all things in the works.  I CANNOT wait.

4.       Fall TV has been taking up my nights lately.  It is nice to just lay on the couch, ipad in hand, snuggling with husband ;) and watch TV for a couple of hours.  Our absolute FAVORITES right now are Scandal (which OMG if you watched last night) and The Blacklist.  My other musts are Parenthood and I still watch Grey’s and Revenge.  I know there are so many other good ones…but I can only handle so many at onceJ

5.       We have a super fun weekend ahead.  NO plans tonight…we will probably rent a movie and RELAX so that we can be completely prepared for our BIG gameday.  Sadly, we have only been to ONE home game this year, we tailgated for a bit at one, but didn’t stay for game…so that doesn’t really count.  We have only had ONE awesome tailgate this year which is SO rare, but obviously that’s what happens when you have little ones!  Anyways, we are excited about a fun day spending time with our friends.  AND THEN, Sunday morning…bright and early I have to get up and prepare to SHOWER my best friend and her little angel baby, Piper!  It’s going to be so fun…and I can’t wait to see all my friends!

xoxo

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
