Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend and as always it went by way too fast! Friday night we met Ansley, Matt and Gavin at Blue Top for an early dinner. It is a fun atmosphere becuase it's very casual and family friendly but my one-year old thinks she is grown and wanted to be in the bocce ball area with those heavy balls being thrown by bigger kiddos instead of her high chair so needless to say our sitting nicely and eating dinner wasn't super relaxing! I also didn't snap any pictures because BUSY toddler. 

Saturday morning we had no plans so we decided to take a quick trip down to the Zoo because Emma is animal obsessed these days. She loves pointing out animals in her books and making animal sounds. We had a fun little morning visiting and spending time together just the three of us. We just focused on the African animals, petting zoo, playground and train. Emma had a great time and so did we. Love seeing her light up seeing new things and exploring on her own. 

(just her crazy self before getting ready for the day. Nightgown, purse, and hat!)

(pretending it actually feels like Fall and eating pumpkin waffles for breakfast)

Saturday evening we had Collier come stay with us for the night. We took the kids to our neighborhood street party by the pool. We brought a dessert and they had a bunch of our sponsors donate food for the event. There were over 300 people there which was great. Nice to meet so many new faces in the neighborhood! Tommy and I were off in different directions most of the time because two kids. 

Once the kiddos went to bed we watched the Georgia and Auburn games simultaneously while in our pajamas. It was perfect! #godawgs and #wareagle

Sunday morning we got up and went to church. It was blessing bag day at church and my principal spoke in all three services. After each service patrons went to the fellowship hall to stuff the bags and then they were all delivered to school yesterday! This is such a blessing for our students over long breaks. Each student goes home with a bag full of non-perishable foods next week for their 5 day weekend and over the long weekend break in February. Thank you Peachtree Presbyterian for being such a huge community sponsor for my school. 

Wrapped up the weekend with yet anther three set tennis match that I finally won! It was a great weekend and this week is also a busy week for us. Already looking forward to the weekend. 

Life Lately

Here's a random assortment of things! 

Emma found her love for playing in boxes and she thinks it's hilarious. She saw the box from her diapers and went and got the toilet roll holder (why I have no idea) and dragged that around to put in. 

She has an obsession with shoes and her slippers. She will bring them to you to put on her and then she will find a spot to read. She is now OBSESSED with books and she delays bedtime every night by trying to get me to read "more, more, more". 

For work I attended a two day conference for Number Talks with Sherry Parrish and it was just great! She was so easy to listen to all day. I was so excited to hear from her about her new book on fractions, decimals, and percents. It was such a great workshop. 

The weather (pre-hurricane) was just wonderful so one afternoon we took dinner out front to enjoy the weather. It was just perfect!

Last weekend we went to Lake Sinclair with our Auburn buddies and the weather was so nice and peaceful. We enjoyed the sun during the day and football that night. The babes were so cute all day! 

On Monday the trees at our house were making me nervous so we skipped over the Robinsons because they have a basement which immeidately put me at ease. Hurricane Emma was keeping us laughing all day!

Because of hurricane Irma I got 3 extra days with my girl. I really missed my sidekick going back to work yesterday. Her vocabulary the past week has just taken off. She is mimicking me a lot right now and really soaking in so much. It's so much fun to watch. She keeps us laughing with her animal noises too. Elephant is just the funniest of them all! You can thank Tommy for that. Also her "jumping" makes me laugh constantly. 

We were a bit stir crazy at times but we sure enjoyed each other!

Ready for the weekend with my people!
