Weekend roundup

August 29, 2017

We had a fun weekend around here. It started on Thursday night when Robert and I went to the Lancer PTO event. It was nice to get dolled up and go out, even if it was for a school event!

Summer fun

August 25, 2017

Well, the home stretch of summer has come and gone. Spencer and Samantha finally start school next week. I think it’s safe to say these kids have LIVED IT UP this summer all thanks to the wonderful Mrs. Susan! They have gone and done just about everything you can possibly go and do in Birmingham! They’ve been to the zoo to ride the pirate train and feed a giraffe, they’ve  played on all parks around, and visited every jump place where they slid and bounced their little hearts out – and got carried away! They’ve been to McWane and the Flight Museum and even dressed up like cows for free Chik-fil-A! They’ve been to the library for Roger Day and Bubblemania. They’ve been to the Alabama Theater and the movies for all kinds of entertainment. They swam and played until they wore themselves out!

These kids sure do have it lucky to have the one and only Mrs. Susan as their summer tour guide!!! It’s hard to say goodbye to such a FANTASTIC summer…but I know this school year will be just as good! Thanks for all the awesome fun Mrs. Susan! We LOVE YOU!

Eclipse

August 22, 2017

We had our glasses, we sat outside, we experienced the eclipse! It was pretty cool…short, but cool! At Maxwell’s school they were going to keep the K – 4th graders inside to watch a live stream on tv. I gave him the option of checking out to see it outside with us but he chose to stay at school with his friends.

The max coverage in Birmingham was at 1:31pm. Even though we had glasses for Samantha…

we decided to go on and put her down for a nap and not try to keep her up. I didn’t want the pressure of trying to keep her glasses on! Spence was ready to go though! We actually tied his glasses onto his head so they wouldn’t come off! ha! Susan was good and brought out the Children’s Bible to read the story of how God created day and night. Very fitting!

Now we can all say we’ve seen an eclipse! Check check!

Weekend

August 21, 2017

The weekend started on Thursday night when I decided we all needed to go out to dinner and for ice cream. Why not, right?!

Saturday brought a special early birthday treat for Maxwell. Lulu and Granddaddy came over for a birthday lunch and a trip to Dick’s! Just what my sports loving almost 7 year old wanted!

We stayed in Saturday night but did have quite the dance, dance, dance party at home!  💃🏼

Sunday was the kick off to the fall Sunday School season up at church so it was a fun morning to go because they had a bounce house and ice cream! Robert and I are going to be sunday school teachers for Samantha’s class this year. Well, us and 3 other sets of parents! We’ll take a good rotational job!
