The Friday five.

WHEW!

 

So hubs left Sunday for a full week of banker’s school….meaning it was just the kiddos and me all week.  Banker’s school is only about an hour and 15 min drive from our house but they spend the night in dorms and have lots of different activities all day and night….

My mom was at the beach too, so I had no back up!  ** I fully realize stay at home  mom’s and single mom’s do this all the time…I can totally handle the kids alone, I just don’t like being alone….I am not one of those that needs “me” time…so for me, it was more about being by myself when the kids went to bed and having no one to talk to at night that sucked**

 

Anyways, point is….it was a LOT of work but we survived!! BUT, last night may have been the WORST.  I came home from work to our upstairs AC being out.  WTF!  It just went out a month ago and was fixed.  It was 90 degrees upstairs!!!! HOLY!  I had to pack a family of five for a week at the beach in this hotness.  And watch the kids.  Y’all…I’ll never plan another vacation again where Mikey isn’t home to help me.  I worked ALL night last night and this morning packing everything up.  I had to UNPACK the two pack and plays from my car and put them in the living room downstairs for the boys to sleep in and Collins and I slept on the couch….it was rough.  I felt like I had run a marathon from the amount I was sweating, GROSS.

 

ONE: outtakes of our week.  

Daddy surprised us Wednesday night and drove home:-) best ever!!! We actually won't see him until Sunday night Bc he is headed straight to Denver for a bachelor party after bankers school. Poor thing, right?! 

 

TWO:  I came across the CUTEST and best priced store in small town SC the other day after my hearing.  I got two adorable dresses and a top for $100!  SCORE!


The dresses I got:-)


 

THREE: I’m about sick to death of people talking about the damn Nordstrom sale.  Geez.  We get it, bloggers.  It’s a big sale.  Half of you are getting free shit from them to talk about it. Over it. 

 

FOUR:   I am writing a sorority recommendation for the cutest girl and it dawned on me that this year is our TEN year reunion from college, GRADUATION.  WHAT?!?  SO. OLD.  I can’t stand it. 

FIVE: and in the BEST news of the week….(as mentioned above) we are BEACH BOUND today!!!!  We are leaving today and won’t be back until SUNDAY July 26.  NINE nights of vacation.  I. CANNOT. WAIT. 

 

PEACE OUT, y’all.

 

Happy Friday!

xoxo

    I live in Myrtle Beach and I love some of the small town shops in the area. Those dresses are so beautiful. I especially love the colorful flowers on the first dress.

    I hope you and your family have a wonderful beach vacation! :)

    I'm a long time reader of your blog, but this is my first time posting. I just wanted to say that I love the way you dress your children!

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...
