Well, it wasn’t so much a Pumpkin Patch as it was a bunch of pumpkins on pallets. Literally. Quite a far cry from the beloved Eckert’s Farm we visited every fall during our time in Illinois. Thankfully, neither of the girls were disappointed, especially since I’d been talking up our visit to the pumpkin patch for days. Sophie has been… Read More
A visit from G.G.
My mom came down to visit us this weekend. It was great to have G.G. here, the girls loved having someone around who would accomodate the most indulgent request they could muster. We spent a majority of our time together just hanging out, playing Jenga with Asher and watching the girls act silly in front of the newest spectator. But… Read More
How many people can you fit in a photobooth?
Today we headed to the mall. Tori wanted to check out some jackets at American Eagle and I, well… I don’t ever mind making a trip to the mall. All my favorite shops were having a great sale over Labor Day weekend and I thought I’d go again just for the fun of it. While we were strolling around (actually… Read More
More weekend pics
After the beautiful botanical gardens, we headed back to our hotel. The boys adore staying in a hotel because it means jumping on the beds and swimming in the pool! Thankfully it was a perfect day for swimming as the pool was outside and we were the only ones there. The girls haven’t been in a ‘normal’ pool all summer,… Read More
Great weekend
Chris came home on Thursday and we headed to Birmingham on Friday for a weekend away. We took the kids out of school for the day and arrived in the early afternoon. We lunched with some of the folks from Lifeline (the adoption agency we used to bring Sophie home) and had a great time talking adoption talk and getting… Read More
Frozen treats on a stick
The kids are still enjoying the warm weather (read: smokin’ hot) here in Georgia since it affords them a much longer window of opportunity to spend afternoons in their play pool, enjoying such frozen delights as fudgesicles and popsicles. The other afternoon Sophie chose a fudgesicle and Belle chose a blue popsicle. Well, the heat got to them before the… Read More
My baby turns 17
We celebrated Tori’s birthday over the weekend with a big feast, all Tori’s favorite dishes. Thankfully she’s quite a cook and happily made most of it herself. But on her actual birthday, August 16th, we had a mini celebration with mini cakes for everyone. The boys loved decorating theirs with frosting and sprinkles and the girls loved eating theirs 🙂… Read More
A sad day for a mom
Today is the first day of school. I know, it’s ridiculous that it starts here so early. I always have considered August to be a summer month, but I guess the schools around here don’t think so. We have been running around all week preparing for the big day. Indeed, it’s a bit more labor intensive when you have 4… Read More
Fun (or not so fun) in the sun
We set the sprinkler up in the yard the other day thinking it would be a sure fire hit with the girls. Well, it wasn’t. At first. The boys loved it from the get go and the girls warmed up to it after a while. Even while they were unimpressed with the sprinkler, they sure looked cute in their swimsuits…. Read More
going Hollywood
We were on our way to celebrate Tori’s straight A’s (yeah, Tori!) at Johnny Carino’s last night and we were being silly putting our sunglasses on the girls. They actually looked pretty stylish sitting in their sweet Britax carseats wearing some shades. I often wonder why I was content to put my older children in $50 car seats, but for… Read More
