Weekend rewind

Whew! We worked our butts off this weekend all around the house. Much needed. We finished painting the exterior of our house (well, for the most part. We will have a few touch ups and Mikey still has to get on the roof and roll the chimney.) I can’t even tell you how much I love it!! If only our roof wasn’t brown - ugh, one day..... 

Mikey pressure washed the entire driveway and it made a world of difference. Now all of our sidewalks, patio area and driveway have been pressure washed. I, yes.... me.... cut the entire yard with our push mower. And didn’t realize I didn’t have the “auto” propeller on till the end, face palm.  We cleaned out a lot, took two loads of junk to the dump. 

Next up, landscaping. 

We also had some fun this weekend too. Friday after work we enjoyed several hours outside while the kids played. It was gorgeous. And then Mikey and I came back out for a little “at home date night” once the kids went to bed.  Then, Saturday night we left the kids with sitters and enjoyed a couple hours cruising the lake and eating dinner out, another beautiful spring evening. But, our days were full and busy- we literally worked from 9 am till 5 Saturday and 10-7 Sunday. So we were POOPED Sunday night. 

 Collins had some sweet friends over for a play date Sunday and they were so cute and played outside for hours — and let the boys tag along:-) 

Here’s to taking next weekend OFF and heading to our favorite escape in the low country. Happy Monday!

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...
