Weekend rewind

I’m slowly unable to keep up with this thing anymore…but, even if it exists solely for me to “scrapbook” our life, then so be it.  I like to have a little space to record our memories/events/everyday norms in this stage of life.  Work is crazy, raising three kids is crazy, and therefore life is crazy.  I rarely have much “down time” (and yes, this is generally my own doing b/c we like to be busy!)…but when I do get down time…i’d rather spend it relaxing and hanging out with the fam, it is what it is.  Speaking of relaxing….that’s almost ALL we did on Sunday.  I can’t think of the last time I’ve been so lazy and it was GLORIOUS.  But, that’s getting ahead of myself…let’s start with Friday.  My birthday😊I took off from work a bit early to spend some time with the kids before Mikey and I went out to dinner for my birthday.  The sweetest/most random gift ever goes to my girl…Mikey had “warned” me that she was super proud of her gift and thought of it all by herself.  My girl picked me out adorable birthday napkins as my present! 😍 Apparently, I needed some cute napkins to celebrate!  Mikey took her to a big “paper warehouse” type store and he said she took her time in picking out the perfect ones…how sweet.  We used them Sunday night at our family celebration and I think it made her day.  Love that.  Mikey and I enjoyed a few hours out on the town having dinner and drinks and adult conversation, a perfect non-eventful birthday celebration with my guy.  

 Saturday was spent working out, running errands and preparing to take the kids to the Carolina game!  WHEW!  That’s a chore!  We got free tickets so we figured it was as good a time as any to take the kids to a game for the season…of course, I think they had the most fun tailgating where they could run around and jump off coolers ;-)  We lasted until halftime, and I call that a success. The game was at 4, so we were back home by 7:30 in pajamas.  We had leftovers and enjoyed a night on the couch watching football. 













 

And then on Sunday, like I said, we were LAZY.  We all slept until 8 and then stayed in our pajamas until 4!!  We spent the morning playing with the kids and cuddling on the couch with cartoons and the Ryder cup.  I even went back to sleep when the kids napped….i was worn out for some reason…it sure felt good to do NOTHING.  We did finally get ourselves up and moving to celebrate birthdays (mine and my mom’s) with the family for dinner….3 hours of loud chaos, but so fun!

 

Praying that this hurricane stays AWAY from our coast…we are exactly one year out from the devastating 1000 year flood here in Columbia, SC…the LAST thing we need is another HUGE weather event to occur.  

 

Happy Tuesday, friends.

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...
