Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend, we went to "the hunt house" and hung out with my fam and the great outdoors.

InstaFriday

this week was kinda blah!  school was hard and i was tired!  i'm glad it's over and i have a long weekend to recover.  here are the few pics I took this week.

grace and carter played momma, daddy, and baby.  carter saw this picture and pointed to grace and and grunted her name, pointed at the doll and said "baby", and then pointed at himself and said "dada."  i guess he really knew what they were playing.

they play so well together and it makes me so happy!

story time before bed

oh my!  we had a rough morning!  she wanted a picture in her p.e. uniform, but couldn't stop crying for the pic.

we had team night at awana...manchester united and memphis tigers were our teams.

carter emptied his diaper genie and took the load to the dumpster.

carter likes to eat crayons color with grace while she does her homework and yes, she has homework.

this is where my booty sat tonight after eating dinner, cleaning the kitchen, living room, and 1 and a half bedrooms, and getting kids in the bed.  i am beyond excited about this extra long weekend!

i hope you are too!

Life has been moving along.  Nothing very exciting has been going on.  We are all finally in the swing of things with the new school year.  Here are some pics from my phone that I have taken over the last couple of weeks.

I got in a some rare cuddle time with my Carter Man before school started back.

Grace has awesome hair!

And so does Carter!  He just oozes coolness.

Grace and Tripp played on a "floating dog bed."

In the words of my brother, "It's Coooonnnaaaannn O'Briiiiiiiaaaannnn!"

We surprised Steph with a Tangled birthday party!

That's how everyone wants to celebrate their 30th, right?

School started for me.

Our closet broke.  Boo.

I got these super cute flowers from a sweet student.

The night before Grace started school, we read The Kissing Hand.

Grace brought an apple to her teacher.

Grace started k-4.

My sweet friend gave me this ginormous Mountain Dew before school one morning and I so NEEDED it that day!

She calls me her sweetie heart.

My parenting skills may have taken a backseat during the first weeks of school.  Sorry, Carter!

We had some family time and rode the carousel.

Grace had an umbrella parade at school to celebrate the letter Uu.  "I just LOVE my new umbrella"

This came walking into my room the other morning.

It took me WAY too long to get home on Friday afternoon!  Ugh!!!

Can you tell he has a big sister?

Silly girl!

I went shopping with my mom and sister.

Our shopping trip turned into a trip to the ER.  Not cool!  (Everyone is alright, now.)

We had a Sunday night picnic after swimming in the backyard.

I caught Grace reading her Bible in bed when she was supposed to be sleeping.  But, how can you be mad about that?

Like I said, life has been moving along but, nothing too exciting.

That's my lately.
