Christmas time recap part 1

*I wrote this on Monday December 21... just now posting.

We, along with the rest of America have been CRAZY busy the past week. Like, whew! So crazy that I typed up a word document for the weeks activities for Mikey and me... Detailed instructions on what we are doing when, what to pack and what the kids are wearing! It's the only way I can keep organized! I obviously labeled it "psycho Christmas."

We had our work Christmas parties last week back to back, Mikey Wednedsy night and me Thurssay. Thanful for grandparents who can help out! In between the craziness, our boys have kept us on our toes....

See what I mean?! Yikes.

Friday morning was Collins' preschool Christmas program, which was adorable. We were shocked and impressed she sang in front of tons of parents in the sanctuary! The shyness is slowly wearing off.

Cookies and milk after the performance!

All the girls:-)

Thankfully, I ended up taking the day off Friday. I had to take Thomas to the doc and run a million errands. There's never enough time!

Friday night was my ZTA girls Christmas party, such a fun tradition... This is our 12th year!!!

More shenanigans from the boys... Doing squats on the ottoman is a daily occurrence;-)

My girl at school!

Saturday morning, Collins got to dance in her company's Christmas show. It was so cute! Her favorite part was that big cousin Belle came to watch!

After that, we headed straight to North Carolina for Mikey's mom's family Christmas...got home at midnight, only to wake up Sunday and drive to Greenville for my dads family Christmas! I'm telling you, we haven't stopped much! We did get home early enough last night to enjoy a Christmas movie and some play time.

I LOVE Christmas, but dang if it isn't busy!

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...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...
