Dusting It Off

It's time to (yet again) dust off this old blog. I really want to print yearly blog books (I'm all about memories) but I haven't added any in so long.

It's soon time to start back to school and this year is bringing a big change. My Sweet E will not be getting out at daycare anymore. She'll be traveling on to big school with me. I am so excited (and I think she is too). I don't think it has hit her yet though that she's not going to be attending with all the girls and boys that she's known since babyhood. We live in the city, but I work at a county school (it's never made since to me...I think if all the school systems combined it would be a less wasteful use of resources).

Today we did a girls day with a haircut, spaghetti (Olive Garden), school supply shopping, and a cupcake. 

Hopefully I'll get back in the habit of blogging. I've got to do some posts about funny brother.

Walking and a Spend the Night Party!

Our Rowe Baby turned 16 months on Saturday. I can hardly believe it. He's not into walking much (5 steps max). In Sunday he decided he's going to take off! So at 16 months and one day, I proclaimed he is an official walker.

Sweet E had two slumber parties over the weekend...yes two! The first with me, mommy! It's something we've wanted to do for months, but something has always come up. I decided Friday afternoon to just go for it. We had dinner with the boys and then went and locked ourselves in her room. We did a lot of playing with babydolls and hair. B said it was an official slumber party because their was lots of giggling and staying up past him. 

Saturday night the fun continued when one of E's classmates needed a favor because of a death in the family. Georgia came over, then we headed out to a gathering for our hunting club. Another of their classmates',Ella, dad is in the hunting club too. We stayed out past their bedtimes and then they stayed up another hour when we got home. They had a blast! 

By Sunday, my Sweet E was worn out! She is growing up so fast! 

Another off the top side note-when I picked her up from gymnastics yesterday she was more excited than Christmas morning. She had conquered the bars! She has been taking gymnastics since August, but has been afraid of the bars. She was so thrilled that she did all of it by herself! That talk we had last week about setting goals and pushing yourself paid off! I love to see her so determined and reaching her goals!

Be prepared SNOW is predicted for lower Alabama today!!!

Mid January New Year's Resolution

Make more posts on our blog (where it counts) and less time on Facebook.

I would love to print this at the end of 2014 to help preserve precious family memories.

Ones like this jewel from last night. Sweet E and Rowdy R (like that new bloggie nickname?) watching Monsters University while I cleaned. This was the sweet moment before Rowdy decided to grab hands full. Of popcorn and throw them across the living room! So goes life with a toddler!
