Weekend Recap: Evacuated Edition

Finally made it to Monday!

So as many of you have probably seen on the news, Hurricane Matthew took a very destructive path through Haiti, the Bahamas, Cuba and the southeastern coast of the United States. Many people have been affected by this hurricane, including my family. We had to evacuate from our home, not knowing what we would come back to. I have never been so scared nor stressed in my life. The kids and I are safely in Athens, where the babies are having an extended sleepover with Mimi and Grandpa and the girls and I are in a hotel room. My husband however was not so lucky and is stuck at our home, with no power and water. Prayers would be greatly appreciated, and even though our home had no damage to it, our community, or neighborhood and our town has been destroyed. Rebuilding has begun but many people are in need to many things. Here is my weekend recap starting on Thursday afternoon when we left our home.

Thursday night we were in a hotel room 5 hours from home and hoping the hurricane would spare us

Friday we went to the park with the babies while Mimi had to work. This boy loves to swing, like cries if you take him out of it too soon, loves it! It is the best thing

And of course this little loves to slide and climb and just run around.

The last time we were at this playground, this little was just born. He was in the carrier on my chest, while big sister was running around having fun! Now he can join in!

We bought a little pumpkin to bring the Fall/Halloween spirit to our room!

My hubby got stuck, so we have Face timed while he is gone, and he has used his car to get charge for his phone, he hasn't had the best service but we got to talk a little bit every day since we had to leave

We visited the stadium in Athens,

got some yummy ice cream

and loved the sunshine

Such beautiful scenery

We are thankful for what we have and appreciative that our house is still standing, because others were not so lucky, so we are happy to be safe and have a home to go back to. That is our weekend recap! The babies are safely with my Mom and Dad and we are safe in a hotel enjoying the view, and enjoying our time up here, but we are so ready to go home.

Have a safe and wonderful Monday!

XOXO

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday! I wont lie, today is a lot like my dish towel says: We had all the plans to go exploring and do something productive this weekend, but I only managed to clean the entire kitchen on Friday afternoon while the babies were napping! Here is a a bit of our weekend: Friday morning started out with two monkeys jumping on the bed bright and early! I love how they wake up so happy in the morning Riley got his 15 month shots on Thursday so I was fully expecting a grump and a half and got a very happy smiley baby boy instead! We practiced blowing kisses We snuggled and we ran around with our backpack of toys Mommy did not unpack from the doctor's visit. Saturday we spent lots of time snuggling on the couch, napping, and watching cartoons and just relaxing before hitting up the grocery store for a big trip. We got home late enough it was a sandwich for dinner kind of night. Sunday we had plans to go out and ab...

Weekend Recap on a Tuesday! :)

So I was trying to get this posted yesterday but the littles decided they wanted to test Mommy yesterday and not allow me to get anything done. By the time both kids were in bed for the night I was so tired I just went straight to bed instead of having some "me" time. This weekend started out running errands and going to the park! We haven't been to the park since August when I was put on bedrest! Our newest park member! She learned to climb the slide from her Aunt. She watched her climb up and just had to do it herself The park can be exhausting for little boys! Scott got home late, late Friday night like 12:30 am and we went straight to bed because he had to be up and out the door for a class at 9 am. He was gone until 4:30 and as soon as he got home Charlotte would not leave his lap! Even with baby Riley sitting there. We watched football all day, and even late into the night, since Saturday is devoted to college football! The ...

Memorial Day catch up!

Happy Tuesday! We survived Pre-K! Char graduated last Thursday and her last day on Friday! She had such a fun year and learned so much and is very sad to be going to a different school next year, but she is also so excited as well! I just cannot believe I have a Kindergartener! Time flies when they are growing up! We had a super busy weekend with my sister coming into town to visit, so I'm catching up on laundry, and cleaning and getting into a summer routine with the kiddos! We are so excited for adventures this summer! I will be back tomorrow with a weekend recap, but for now here is some photos from Char's graduation at her Pre-K! Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!
