A little of this…

October 15, 2013

First, a BIG happy birthday to Susu!!  We love you!

Second, a few things going on around here…

Last Thursday was Open House night at Maxwell’s school.  I loved getting to see his teachers, his classroom and all of his artwork!  Maxwell couldn’t wait to show me the bucket firetruck and cow fireman that he plays with every single time he goes to school.  One of the teachers was laughing telling me about how possessive he is of that firetruck and cow fireman!  too funny!  I think Spencey had the most fun of all the kids there.  He loved being in the big kid classroom!

On Saturday, I got up at the crack of dawn and headed to Atlanta with 6 other girls from my Bunco group.  (out of town two weekends in a row! who do I think I am?!)  We went to Scott’s Antique Market and then had a fun night on the town that included the most entertaining Uber cab ride I’ve ever had that involved Blurred Lines, a booming bass and a giant video screen!

The trip was tons of fun and I even came home with that pretty little bench!  Robert, once again, very nicely held down the fort at home.  I think the boys had plenty of fun watching football together!

I headed on back early Sunday because we had visitors!  GJ and Daddo were passing through!  GJ even got to go to Maxwell’s soccer game on Sunday afternoon…

Maxwell did great and played the WHOLE game!  Go buddy go!

GJ also stuck around the next morning. We had just gotten in the car to head to Home Depot when the cement mixer truck pulled up right in front of the house to pour concrete into the section of sidewalk they were repairing.  We obviously put the car in park and hopped out to watch the show!

We no longer have a broken sidewalk but we do have a personalized one now!  🙂

I had grand intentions of doing full initials for both boys but the cement was harder to write in than I thought so we just stuck with an S and an M!  And we also did get on over to Home Depot and my yard is now full of planted pansies!  Hooray!

I think we’re caught up for now…see you tomorrow!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Birthday roundup 2

October 9, 2013

I didn’t get a cake from a box for my birthday – but I did get a trip to Miami and an awesome fire truck birthday card from my boys!  🙂

On Friday of last week, I left the boys with Robert and hopped on a plane to head to South Beach for a reunion with 13 of my best friends from Vandy.  This trip had been a year in the planning and 14 out of 15 girls in our group were able to make it.  Unbelievable really!  While all of our lives have taken us down different paths, it was SO good to catch up, laugh about old times and talk about what’s new.  It was a such a treat to be reminded of how great my Vanderbilt experience was and what truly impressive girls I met there. It was also such a treat to sit by the beach, sleep in and enjoy some fantastic food!  Quite the way to ring in 35!

Robert VERY nicely held down the fort and took great care of both boys all weekend with plenty of trips to the tot lot…

As much fun as I had, I literally could not wait to get back home to my boys.  All 3 of them picked me up at the airport and I was so happy to be there that I just had to sit in the backseat between the car seats so I could love on Spencer and Maxwell!  Before we could even get home, Maxwell had already told me all about the “oh-runj” picture he had drawn for me and the firetruck birthday card (that played music!) and “oh-runj” flowers that he and Robert had gotten me!  That kid can’t keep a secret!  🙂

35 bday

On the morning of my actual birthday, Robert had to catch a 7am flight to New Orleans for work.  boo.  But, I got to spend the day with my 2 other favorite little dudes…

35 bday

and that’s about the best birthday present I could ask for!

Thank you so much for all the calls, texts, emails and FB messages!  I really appreciated every one!!
