Our Weekend

We had a great weekend! Saturday we went down to my parents so they could see the kids while Alex and i took my car for its oil change. My parents had not seen the kids since Ethan's birthday party in July. So, They were all happy to see one another. While the car was getting it oil changed, our good friends Kevin and Jennifer picked us up from the dealership. We had a late lunch at Olive Garden. It was sooo good. I can't remember the last time i had olive garden. I forgot how much i love there salad. When we first went to the table i saw an old friend there Christen. I have not seen her since Brooklynn was a month old i think and we met for lunch. It has been way to long. It was so nice to see her though.

The kids ended up staying at my parents over night. Yes, i have some cute pictures to post. This won't be another long entry with no pictures :)

Over all the weekend was good. Brooke is 22 months on the 12th, i guess that is today. And she has been using the potty all week! Today after getting home at around 1:30, she peed all day in her little potty! She did not wet her panties at all. She wore the same pair until bed. When she needs to pee she starts complainging a lot and whining. I then ask if she needs to pee and she says yes and then gets on her little potty. it is so cute. However, cleaning the little potty is not fun. I keep the lysol handy so it stay bacteria free even after washing it. Which is new to me, Ethan never used the small potty. He hated it.

Alright, now it is is time for the pictures. Enjoy :)

Ethan playing golf and Nana and Papas

Brooke trying to figure it out

Brooke set up all Nana's bears on her bed with there own pillows.

Brooke then layed herself down on Nana's pillow

Ethan was trying to patiently wait for half time so papa would take him outside

The turtle daddy found outside while it was raining. Ethan says this one bites BUT the greens ones dont. Don't even try to argue. He knows. And as he says, its because he is 4 and he is smart. :)

Have a great week! Tomorrow we are headed to a bike trail :)

Busy week

This week has been CRAZY! Our house has suddedenly become the house to see! Today at 4 will be the 2nd time to have people come look at our house. my realtor has been getting lots of calls.

Lets see, we decide we r going to stay and alex is going to stay with his job. He is finally enjoying it.

Suddenly everyone wants our house! Well, not everyone, but we are getting people intrested so that is a plus.

Now Alex hopes it well sell so we can move to the other side of I-85. I still want to move to the Madison or Social Circle area. The homes in social circle are DIRT cheap. I was looking at then today and found a few i liked. One was 115,000 4 beds, 3 bath two story house. Not sure if it is a forclosure, but wow is that cheap!

We will see i guess :)

Today i cleaned my butt off. shampooed carpets and tons of other stuff. Tuesday someone came while i was dead sick. It was cleaned up, but most everything was thrown somewhere hidden. Such as the dirty dishes went into the refrigerator. I was given a 20 minute notice. The people i guess drove by, then called there realator and wanted to see it then. I had not unloaded the clean dishes yet, so i tossed the few bowls and cups in the fridge. LOL

Those people loved the house, but have not heard back yet on an offer. The people coming today also requested just to see this house.

God works in mysterious ways. It was like, we wanted the house to sell so we could move to augusta. We now decided that here is where we are suppose to be. And things are changing so much. I guess we weren't reading what God was telling us.

Alex is finally at the point in his job that he loves it. He is the go to person like when he was at Shoneys. He spends a lot of time helping out the head people and going to different stores. They are ready to move him to a high volume store where he can make huge bonuses. And if we did move, we could move closer to his new store. Right now he would have to take Athens where he might not make as much money then some other stores that are in his bosses area. So, it is exciting. I am having a great day!

And on dailysteals.com (gotta check out that website. New deals on there everyday), i finally got my bluetooth headset i wanted for.........$9.99!!! I ordered 2. one for alex too. :)

Oh well, i am going to take my happy self to You Tube now. The new Twilight trailer came out yesterday and i gotta see it :)

An announcment!

Ha Ha Ha................Well here it is...................














Ethan is getting married!!!!!!!!

Sorry, i am laughing so hard. Ethan came home and announced this yesterday. This boy of mine is really inlove with his girlfriend at school, Georgia Ann. He has always been a little girl crazy, but no other girl matters to him but her. And he is only 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just think, if both families stay in Banks County.........they might marry. He was even saying her name in his sleep last night.

Alex saw the love saturday at home depot for fathers day with ethan's school. He said once Ethan and Georgia Ann saw each other they held hands and did everything together. We are in trouble!

Hopefully the wedding won't happen for another 20 years, but just be ready :)

Thought

Live for today. because there might not be a tomorrow

Just a thought for the day :)

Fall crafts

Its Fall and that means it is time for some fun crafts with the kids. Yesterday i picked up a bag of mini pumpkins while shopping so the kids could have some fun painting them. They had fun. I think it was Brooklynn's 1st time with paint. She normally uses the aqua doodle with water and a paint brush for her painting time. She covered herself with paint. Even her nose. Ethan of coarse was a neat freak about it and wipped off any paint that got on him. Like i say all the time, my kids are night and day! The neat freak verses the hurricane! I have about given up on trying to be a neat freak since Brooklynn is almost 2. I used to clean up all day after her and now wait until after dinner. I just try my best to close my eyes and not pay attention to the mess.
Before i post some more pics...it has been requested for me to post a funny story of while Ethan was at his grammys. 1st thing.......Alex's mom had a leak in her wall from the toilet. Both are connected but in seperate bathrooms. So, a hole was cut in the wall for now while fixing the leaking pipe.
Now the funny story. The kids were taking a bath saturday night in there grammy's bathroom. grammy sent Ethan to the hall bathroom to get the shampoo. He was already naked before going. So, his naked butt ran from the room and down to his bathroom. He came back screaming and crying MONSTER!!! He was so upset he got Brooklynn crying. So grammy had 2 naked kids screaming and crying that there was a monster. She was not sure what Ethan felt was a monster. After looking, the light coming from her bathroom was coming through the hole into the hall bathroom and it looked like a hairy monster! How funny. I think the funniest part is imagining 2 naked kids crying and her having to calm them down. LOL.
Ok, time for pics. Enjoy :)

Monster Trucks and the Potty

As promised i have taken a break from my love affair with my books. LOL. I have been cleaning today. bathrooms, dusting, sweeping, and laundry. I need to mop....but i might save that for tomorrow. Anyway, Ethan had a blast at the Monster truck show. Bad News was one of his favorite. His Grammy said they left early b/c he was getting tired. But, he still had a wonderful time. By the look on his face you can tell he was having a great time! The following day the kids dragged there grammy and nana on a picnic. peanut butter and fluff sandwiches. LOL. Ethan was not ready to come home. But, he did stay home yesterday, sick as i had mentioned before. He was still not his full self today, but i told him to try school and if he needed me, to call. I have not been called yet. I think he is fine today.

Brooklynn has been using the potty some! YAY! I am so proud of her! She of coarse has to be naked all day! What is it with my kids. They only potty train naked! But, atleast she is happy. I have not had to wash diapers in a week! Wow! i was used to every other day!
Alex and i had a great kid free weekend together. We pretty much just stayed home, but we really enjoyed the company. Alex fiddled with the new antenna for the most part, and well i read from my books. :) Well, i am off to take Brooke to the potty and then get some crayons out for her. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Almost finished

I just finished the 3rd book! WOW! That was intense and good. I don't know how i can go back to my life knowing i only have 1 book left in the series! Aaaah!

Anyway, tomorrow i am going to try and have a normal day. Upload the pics from Ethans monster truck show and so on. I need to clean the bathrooms too.

Ethan was home sick today. Horse cough and snotty nose. Fun! But, i think he will go back tomorrow.

Oh.........and i can't forget........CONGRATUALTIONS TO KEVIN AND JENNIFER ON THERE 1ST PREGNANCY!!! they are due in May! We are super excited for them.
