Thanksgiving Week Part II

Hey Ya'll! Today I am doing part two of our Thanksgiving week recap! 
We had such a busy week!
Tuesday we loaded up super early, like 5 am early, for our 4 hour drive to Athens. We had dentist appointments at 11 so we had to leave early to get to town in time. We got to Athens early so we made a stop at a playground we used to go to when we lived in Athens. However it was different this time because they built a new one, and tore the old one down. It was hard for me to see that, because I took my babies to that playground when they were so very little. But we still had a blast and made new memories on this new playground! 

Happy to be out of the car! 

and both headed straight to the slides! 


Char is getting so much more balanced, it is fun to watch her on the balance beam

and Riley was a goof and slide across on his butt :P 

Sliding with my boy

and then we found the coolest swings, where you sit on one side and the baby sits in a seat on the other end. He looks like he is having no fun right?!

To say he had a blast was an understatement

They even moved the bulldog over so that it was with the new play area. We only got about 30 minutes to play before we had to head across town for our dentist appointments. 

This little boy was momma's assistant and helped Mimi and the doctor with my splint. 
After dentist appointments we walked up to the park just next door to Mimi's work to kill some time and run off some energy before lunch! 


and we played on the other playground we used to go to all the time! 

These two had such a blast and they loved every minute of playing together. 

Here is a little throwback Thursday, this was the last time we were on this playground, in November 2015. Riley was just two months old and sleeping in the stroller while big sister played and played and played. Life looks a little bit different now :) 


I love these trees this time of year #breathtaking


So we met Mimi and Grandpa for lunch and since we were in a time crunch because mimi needed to go back to work we went to McDonalds. On the way there this little boy fell asleep so he got to take a quick little nap on Momma while everyone ate lunch. 

At this point we were originally planning on driving back home, but then we surprised Mimi and told her we were actually staying the night, and so we headed to Target for some pjs and necessities including coloring books and then headed to our room for a little rest and coloring.

When Mimi got off work we went over to play 

and they broke out the felt house that they absolutely love! 

Everyone was so tired, and these two cuddled up and fell right to sleep.

Wednesday we got up and lounged around in our pjs, ate some yummy sausage and French toast and then went to see Mimi one last time before leaving town

We stopped at the playground on the way out of town

and this girl was so brave and climbed on the rope part of the playground, with momma right next to her of course 


This little boy is getting so big and started climbing the rock and log walls while we were here. 

So that was our Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Full of driving and playing on all the playgrounds and having a surprise last minute sleepover! It was such fun!
Come back tomorrow for the last and final part of our week, Thanksgiving on Thursday and Saturday!
Have a great day!

Some much needed family fun!

It's been a bit hectic the last few days! We got up and went to church Sunday morning for the first time at a new church. The pastor was so funny and made a new church less scary for me! Then Charlotte went to Mimi's for a few hours and Scott and I ran a few errands, cleaned out the truck, and went to the pool hall to play a few rounds before going to get her. I don't know what it is about the pool hall but it always is a place we enjoy going, without baby of course! After we picked Charlotte up, we went home and relaxed for a few hours and watched tv and played COD:ghosts!( Another one of our couple things) Then I packed a bag for Charlotte, did Scott's laundry, and cleaned up the house. Finally I packed my bag. Why am I packing bags and cleaning up the house you ask? Well, Charlotte and I are with Scott this week going to Florida. We are going down to the gulf coast for a little sun, surf, and family time, and Scott has to work a day down there as well! Then we ar

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that!

Weekend Recap: This Weekend Edition

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Monday! We certainly did! We did not run around like crazy people and got Charlotte's big birthday gift from Momma and Daddy yesterday so all is on track for our princess turning 3 on Sunday! This past weekend started out slow with playing with all of our toys and stuffed animals  and taking lots of naps on the momma Saturday was spent cleaning, taking out the garbage to the dump and buying groceries. So Saturday we spent just getting ready for the week and taking care of everything we needed to get done for a busy week that we are currently in. We also took one more day of rest to recuperate from the stomach bug and allergies that made the rounds through our house.  Sunday we got out of the house because it was not too hot and not too chilly and it wasn't raining so it was the perfect day to go to the flea market.  The babies are watching a show which is why they are not looking at the camera, and we were sitt
