My birthday!

October 16, 2014

I turned 36 last week…ugh. But, I had a GREAT birthday so I’m not wallowing in pity over my old age. I heard from lots of sweet friends, had plenty of cupcakes, received some nice gifts, and got to love on these sweet boys.

In addition to all of that, know what made my 36th so GREAT? Well, we bought a house that day! Yep, we made an offer on an awesome house on my birthday and got through all of the negotiations and inspections this week. Unlike last time, this is really happening and I’m so excited I could stick my face in a cupcake!

This sign is up in our yard and we’re gearing up for a VERY busy few months…

I mean, I might be legit crazy because no sane person would sell her house, move into a new house and have a baby all within a non-stressful 3 month holiday period, right? Oh well…it’ll get done! Here’s to 36 and to new adventures!

Eruption

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Susu today!! We love you very much and hope it’s a great day!

Second, my little scientists built a volcano with Susan! They worked so hard on it over the course of a few weeks and were pretty proud of themselves…as they should be!

We then took it out back to make it “erupt”…of course my fireman was prepared for all of the hot lava!

Adventures every day!

Open House

October 13, 2014

Happy Monday!

Last week the boys’ school had their Open House night where we got go see their rooms and meet their teachers again. I basically do that every time I take them to school, but it was a treat for Robert to get to see it all. We stopped by Spencer’s room first and said “hi” to Ms. Alice and then headed over to Maxwell’s room with Ms. Kathy…

She’s the sweetest, nicest lady and I’m so thankful Maxwell has her for his teacher! Same goes for Ms. Alice too!

It was a fun night!

See you tomorrow!

Friday wrap up

October 10, 2014

Busy week around here! Robert was out of town for quite a bit of it but the boys and I had plenty to keep us occupied.

Their Thursday morning swim lesson was rescheduled for Monday afternoon so I got to take them and see them in water action! They were really ready to go after naps…
