Home Again, Home Again, Jiggidy Jig

Our last day in Florida was spent playing miniature golf. Jack had the best time and even got a hole-in-one on one round that took Mom and me at least 3-4 strikes to get the ball in! Ethan enjoyed crawling around and checking things out and Dad kept score. A good time was had by all, until it was time to leave and then Jack threw a fit, as he wanted to play the other side! This kid is never satisfied...











This is Jack pouting when it was time to leave!

We had a very eventful trip home on Thursday. We left early, hoping to get home early, only to have car trouble in the middle of nowhere Georgia. First we pulled over to use the bathroom and then the car wouldn't start. A helpful man gave us a jump and then we headed down the road to find a place to check the battery. Well, as we were driving, all the lighted displays started flashing and the gages stopped working. Afraid the car would just stop working I pulled over only to have the car completely die. To make a long story short, we found a mechanic and had to replace the alternator. A very expensive drive home but we're grateful that it didn't end up being worse!


I had a party here yesterday so I rearranged the furniture, making the formal living room an actual living room instead of the playroom. I really like how it looks and Jack told me today that he likes having his toys in the keeping room, so we might keep it like this for awhile. Anyway, these are photos so you can see what it looks like.



Now we're just counting down the days until Jason is home for Thanksgiving!!!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
