The Friday five

Welp, I just realized I never recapped our weekend, the one thing I'm normally good at with blogging. So I'll just cram it Into this post. 
1. We had a fairly low key weekend again, and it was amazing. C's school had a trunk or treat Friday night which was fun, and then some friends came over to hang out and eat dinner with us after.  We had errands and a birthday party Saturday, while Mikey stayed home and painted the stripes in the boys room, we had put it off long enough! We spent Saturday evening hanging out with friends and enjoying watching the kids play outside. Sunday was a day full of laziness, play time, snuggles and naps. A total Sunday win. 
























2. It's breaking my heart to see how "big boy" my babies are and just so fast. I love these stinkers more than life.


3. It's fiiiiinally feeling like fall around here. In an effort to take some things off my plate, i tend to "go go go" allllll the time.... and I even needed a little break recently, we skipped the fair (gasp! This was hard bc I love the fair.... but my kids never even asked about it) and we skipped the big pumpkin patch excursion with hay rides and corn mazes, etc. this year. There's just SO much going on.... and we just had to replace our entire HVAC unit, so a big womp womp to that.... so saving a few pennies when we can is nice. I found a local church with lots of pumpkins, so I'm gonna take the kids there today for some pictures.... I couldn't miss out on pictures of my babies surrounded by pumpinks;-)

4. I'm so proud of how motivated my little girl is with school, she loves homework and reading and is very "on top" of things with kindergarten. She reminds me so much of myself :-) hope that keeps up bc I can't even imagine when I have two in the same grade!!

5. And because we've had some laid back weekends, it's time for a busy one! Halloween parties, a fundraising race for dear friends, the Carolina game AND Boo at the Zoo... it's gonna be a busy one for sure!

Happy Friday!!

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...
