Friends

I must first start by saying that I LOVE BETH MOORE!! Bible study was soo awesome this morning!  It was a great way to start the day!

We had plans to meet some friends and their kiddos for lunch today.

Toni and Grant; Tina and Eli

 

Momma and Mia; Barbie and Trace.  Look at those blue eyes on those two!

Mia was surrounded by lots of handsome boys today :)

After lunch, we decided to take advantage of this beautiful day and make an impromptu trip to the park!

I was so proud of Mia because she actually went up on the playground by herself and went down the slide with me and then said “Do it again!”  She is moving leaps and bounds with her heights fear!  She did manage to get in trouble while on the playground for throwing the mulch.  I don’t know why she loves to do this.  I made her take a “time-out” and sweet Eli thought that sounded fun and came to sit with her :)

That looks like a rough time-out, huh?!

 

We played on the swings and took turns hitting some baseballs from the tee.  Eli LOVES baseball and is a dag on champ!  He hits the ball like he came straight out of the womb doing it!  I see a baseball career in his future :)  Mia, on the other hand, made contact and hit the ball, just with the bat upside down! HA!  She is a girly girl, what can I say?

All of the kiddos…

So thankful for this awesome weather, especially in February!!  Mia came home and took a 2.5 hour nap, (momma took a small one too!) I’d say our day was a success!

Because I’m not random. AT.ALL.

Here’s the story.  It was not my best weekend to date, but we did manage to do some fun things. 

Saturday:

Went to Dick’s with Nana and Papaw to get stuff for Daddy’s birthday.  My little Hercules likes to lift weights like her daddy :)

 

Sunday:

Went to church and bible study, then to a friends house and played games and hung out.

Monday:

Mia had school during the day, so Dave and I went grocery shopping (I know, I know, so romantic!).  You mean you don’t spend your kid free time alone grocery shopping?!  After the grocery I had to go to work for a few hours and Mia got to go spend time with her favorite boys, Charlie and Brody :)  After work we came home and I did this…

Organized the fridge, and cut up lots of fruits and veggies and put them all in bags so there is no excuse to not pack them for lunch.  Which by the way, I feel the need to mention that my child is a Pepper Snob. And by that I mean, she will no longer eat the green peppers now that she has had the red ones.  She specifically says “Momma, more wed peppahs!”

 

Tuesday:

I had 2 appointments.  One for my physical being and the other for my emotional being.  Therefore, I was going to have a kid-free day.  I started at the Surgeons office where he proceeded to tell me that my gallbladder was only functioning at 11% and therefore needed to come out. OBVIOUSLY. So long gallbladder, you’re no good for me any longer!

Next, I had lunch.  With myself.

Sweet tea and Cool Deli Angus wrap from Arby’s!  To make it even more thrilling:  I ate in.my.car. 

 

After lunch with myself, I took myself on over to…

wait for it…

STAPLES!

I’m not even gonna try and lie and say that I didn’t LOVE it.  Because I did.  It brought out creative and organizing bones that I didn’t even know I had!  This is what I got…

Oh yes, Turbo Tax!  Some lined index cards for writing my go-to bible verses, had my James book bound (thanks to my friend Barbie for suggesting that amazing idea!), some new highlighters and a pen, clips and tabs. 

WOW! 

I’m a dag on rebel without a cause these days! HA

Once my last appointment was done, I got my baby girl and headed to Lifeway to pick up a couple of books.

The second picture is just the description on the back of the first book. This describes my daughter to a T. The second book came highly recommended from several people, so I’m so ready to dive in.  I’ve become an avid reader in my older years :)

AND Today:

I worked until 3, met up with Dave to pick up Mia and then Mia and I went to Target.  Mia has woke up the past couple of days with nose bleeds and I haven't had her humidifier on, just because of my own laziness of not getting her a new filter for it.  So today was the day.  I got a new Air purifier for the whole house, new filter for the humidifier for Mia’s room and some new socks.  RANDOM?  Yep, that’s me!

Snack for our shopping trip.

 

Mia was SO strangely well behaved at Target today that I wanted to reward her with a treat.  Her diet is SO.CLEAN. that I wanted to give her a little cupcake.  From Gigi's!!

A pretty pink princess cupcake for my little princess

She took a couple of bites and then gave it to me and said “all done.”  I can honestly say I think it was too sweet for her liking.  She isn’t used to that kind of thing.  I was pretty proud of her :)

 

We came home and got a special visit from Meme and Uncle B…

Smart Uncle B helping Mia trace her numbers.  I hope she gets his smarts, his drive, his motivation and his sheer discipline from him!

 

There you have it.  I speed read through the past few days!
