A month....


How could it have possibly been a month since I have updated this blog?!?!  I can't believe how fast time is flying by!  I have a least a half a dozen posts started but I never seem to finish them and hit the publish button.  Oh well....
I decided I am going to try and do one big recap...(sorry about all the pictures!).  All is well and we have been very busy with just the normal every day running of work, school and home.  This is my busy time at work so I have been working a lot at night so Ben has really had his lions share here at home.  I really, really appreciate it but it almost kills me to be away from the boys so much. 
Anyway...getting onto the recap- the first weekend of the month the boys and I went to Swainsboro.  We went to lunch and had a nice visit with DeDe and Pa.   After we left DeDe and Pa's house we went to see GaGa and stopped by and visited Aunt Ree and MeMe.  The boys LOVED going to every one's home and I had two very tired little boys that afternoon on the way home.  I have to make a mental note to start packing PJ's for trips like that....



I think nothing is sweeter in the world than a sleeping baby.   Just look at my baby boy... doesn't he look so peaceful and sweet?!?

On the way home from work one night I stopped by CVS and they were having a 90% off summer sale.  I picked up these 2 whale and dolphin water guns for the boys for .50 cent (also got a pair of knock-off crocs for $1.49!!).  I can say these water guns have sense broke and are long gone but for bath time that night it was so worth it!  The boys had a water gun fight with Ben!    Ben shielded himself with my cookie sheet and tried to spray them back with the water bottle I use on their hair in the mornings.  Needless to say EVERYTHING got soaked but it was a lot of fun to see them play around so much. :-)


 Kyle is beginning to learn how to read and he wants to read to his little brother all the time now.  Luckily Evan loves books also and will crawl right up in the chair to listen to Kyle.  I think half the time Kyle just makes up his own story to tell but it is so worth it to see these two like this.
 One night, I got home just as it was bed time.  I sat down on the floor to review papers and talk to the boys.  Well somehow I got ambushed!  The boys thought I was some how part of their wrestling match they usually have with Ben.  Oh no, not this Mama!  However, I was able to get a great picture of us while we were playing. :-)

 Two weekends ago, we attempted to go get Evan's 2 year pictures....without going into all of the horrible details of how my 2 year old decided he did not want his picture taken, I will just say they were a complete flop!  Yes it is a flop when the best picture you get out of the day is the 5 year standing behind a cut out in Old Navy....

Evan is starting to think he is too big to be rocked at night.  Instead he wants to drink his milk and lay with Kyle.  Where is my baby going?!? 

This brings me to last weekend....On Saturday, GaGa, the boys and I met Meme at Hobby Lobby and shopped around a little. I can't believe they have the Christmas stuff out already! 


Then on Sunday we went to Stephen and Matthew's 4th birthday party! I have lots of pictures from their party so I will be sure to post separately.
The next couple months are VERY busy for me at work, but I will do my best to do a better job of getting everything updated.  There are A LOT of fall festivals coming up and we can't wait! :-)
