The Friday five.





1. Although I didn't take one single picture... We had some fun company and a super fun night last Saturday with our good friends who are moving our way!!!! Woohoo!! Or friends came to our house and we all went out on a little happy hour cruise around the lake (with the kiddos!) before heading out for the evening. We thoroughly ( ;-) ) enjoyed ourselves at a little house party and my parents kept all three kids overnight!!! This is the second time I've been away from the boys overnight but the first they've been without either parent. Fortunately, they did great!

2. We have a super busy weekend ahead and I'm excited! We are going to the pumpkin patch, charlotte to watch my daddy do the nascar experience AND my favorite... The fair!!! Fiske fries here I come!!

3. I finally start getting in the fall spirit this time of year...not sept 1 like some crazy fools!;-). I've officially "fall-ified" our house and am on the hunt for some new plants for the front porch. I'm over mums. I always spend too much on them and tbey die too fast. This is the look I want this year...
 
4. Speaking of our house.... We are finally at a good stopping point (well for the most part....) with our renovations/upgrades. We've still got a few minor things to finish and two more rooms to paint for phase one of our Reno but I've lost some steam for now. And that's okay. I'll have to start posting some  pictures soon documenting what all we have done! Of course two of the things I love most are the kids' rooms.... Sneak peeks: 


5. I'm happy to report I'm finishing my third week back to work and all is going well. Mornings are NUTS around our house and I'm thankful I don't have to be at work super early... But the transition and adjustment have gone great. Just a little something to be thankful for on this Friday:-)

Happy weekend!

Xoxo

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...

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...

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...
