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!

Show and Tell Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and doing Show and Tell Tuesday!  Today it is all about how to win your heart!  In the four years I have known Scott he has always known how to make my heart go pitter patter! Whether he is sitting with our children and playing and laughing with them, or on a pizza date where we both look awful because it is so spur of the moment because the kids went to Mimi's for the first time in a couple months we rush out so fast without showers, he knows how to speak to my heart!  Scott and I will be married three years this coming June and in those three years we have been married he goes above and beyond with speaking to my heart! Whether it is a random coffee or energy drink that he brings me while I'm chasing the kiddos, or just telling me to go to the bookstore and read a few magazines, I got the kids for a couple hours, it is those things that win me over day after day! What is different about our lo...

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 ...
