weeeknd rewind

Weekends this time of year are cray, and last weekend was no exception. 


We started off by going to get our tree Thursday night. 




 

 I enjoyed my TWELTH annual ZTA girl’s Christmas party Friday night and what a treat that was.   ALL of us don’t get to get together all that often and so it’s always super fun when we do… and this year was no different.  My bestie hosted in Rock Hill at her gorgeous house… we eat, dance, talk, laugh and stay up WAY too late (for 33 year old mamas) , but it sure is fun!!  




 


I was struggling a bit Saturday morning…but we had a jam packed day of course.  Colls had a birthday party to attend and then we left for Charleston!  Mikey wanted to go to the Citadel football game b/c it was the first time they had hosted a playoff game in a LONG time….so we packed up and off we went.  It was pretty chilly, but the kids did awesome.  A bounce house occupied them for most of “tailgate” and they did really good during the actual game.  I was impressed.  We left with about 10 minutes left in the game, because we were driving back home that night!  Mikey enjoyed seeing some friends and the kids loved “oohing and ahhhing” over the “castle” where daddy went to school.  A fun little Saturday outing.  



 

 But, Sunday… oh Sunday.  I didn’t stop.  Cleaning/organizing/decorating… you name it.  We hosted my family for my brother’s birthday dinner Sunday night so I was a mad woman all day getting stuff done.  It’s such a good feeling though when the house is clean and decorated for Christmas!  We enjoyed another chaotic family dinner, it’s always SO loud when my family gets together ;-)  I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday…  another weekend will be here before we know it.


Our elf returned last week:-). He "dropped" off the elf on the shelf movie in our mailbox the night before he came back. My kids are just SUPER excited that he moves each day... no need to go Pinterest crazy yet .


Happy hump day!

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...
