Manic Monday

Whew!

 

Another JAM PACKED weekend.  I’ll have to break up my recap into a few posts because we did some pretty cool things this weekend that I want to properly documentJ  But, goodness….i did NOT want to get out of bed this morning.  YIKES. 

 

We started off the weekend with a little family date night on Friday.  We went out to dinner and then took Collins to her first high school football game (well first football game ever, since she hasn’t actually gone IN a Carolina game…only tailgatedJ ) .  It was homecoming for our high school so we thought it would be a fun thing to do.  C LOVED it…mainly dancing to the band and watching the cheerleaders;-)  The boys did great....pretty sure they could not care less about their surroundings most nights!  Sadly, I didn’t take any pictures…shame!  We will just have to go to another one so I can document, duh.  It’s CRAZY to me how much my high school has changed…I feel like I was just there 5 years ago, not ummm…. 13.

Our other weekend festivities included a trip to the pumpkin patch, a little road trip to Charlotte to watch my dad do the NASCAR experience and a trip to the fair!  Told you we were busy! 

 

It’s finally (slowly) starting to get cool around here and we are gearing up for FALL and Halloween.  Colls says she either wants to be Princess Sofia or a mermaid.  Well, we already have a princess Sofia dress…so I told her if she wanted to be a mermaid she would have to trick or treat in the ocean because mermaids can’t walk…hehehe!!!  Definitely not going to win any creativity awards in the costume department this year….but at least my wallet will be happy. 

 

I’m not even really looking forward to the rest of our (gamecocks) football season… I know that’s terrible, but our defense is just SO bad it’s hard to watch.  I think we need to plan a get together to get thru this coming weekends game…it’s gonna be rough. 

 

I’m already planning/dreaming about how I want to use my Christmas money…isn’t that awful?  I like to use the money we get from our parents and make a big purchase…unfortunately there are several BIG purchase items we need…so which one will it be?!

 

Okay, that’s enough randomness for today.  Happy Monday!

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
