I Can't Believe I'm 35!!

Feeling old!:)

I had a great birthday!  I had scheduled myself a massage, Gigi came to town with flowers and cake, and M came home bearing gifts!

So spoiled!!!

Free coffee  - but this one right here was NOT decaf liked
I'd asked for!!!!!  I was up until 2:30am because of it!  Good
thing it was delicious:)

M wrapped the present in grading plans:)

See C stealing the icing off the cake? HA!

Thank you Gigi for the beautiful flowers!

Happy 1st Day of Fall!!

Today is officially the first day of fall!!  I surprised the kids and took them to the park after picking them up from school, introduced them both to some computer games and then we had family tball practice!  

1st Tball Game

Tonight was C's first tball game!  He was so excited and did such a great job!  He got to bat 2 times, scored a run, played outfield and 2nd base getting some grounders at both positions!  I think he learned a lot about how the game was played for sure and loved being out there! Go #7!!

Ready to play ball!

Pre-game play time!

After game huddle!

Lake Keowee Boat Outing

We had what will most likely be our last boat outing of 2015 this afternoon!  After church and a quick lunch, we made it up to Lake Keowee about 2pm and stayed for a few hours!  It was much more crowded than we had anticipated, but it didn't stop the kids from doing lots of tubing and swimming!!  'Til next year!!

Family, Family, Everywhere!

Gigi came to town yesterday and stayed until this afternoon!  She left just a couple of hours before Elliott and Lara and their kids came for dinner!  It's always good to have family here!!

The kids and Cousin Daven - check out S's new outfit
from the Farm Fresh Fair!

Farm Fresh Fair

This morning, Gigi, S and I went to a new-to-us event, Farm Fresh Fair!  Farm Fresh Fair is a curated even for artisans who make handmade goods.  It's a gathering of vintage lovers and a home for makers of rescued, restored and repurposed items.  That is what the Facebook page said it was anyway!  We walked around and bought a few little items!  S really enjoyed the jewelry and spa vendors, where I preferred the home decor vendors!  Gigi and S can shop me under the bus!  It was a fun morning for sure!

The line to get in!

Gigi and S enjoying the spa treatment!

It was pure craziness!!

We ended the outing with ice cream:)

A little girl in C's class, Merritt, cut his hair!!  AHHH!!
But I did not find out about it until I found this note
in his backpack!

Mal from Descendants!

I love being at the ballfield!

I was very impressed with this!  S's teacher sent home
this sign up and less than 24 hours later it was all filled in!
What amazing parent involvement in her class!!

M had come in from doing yard work, and texted me this picture
while I was at the grocery and informed me I needed to add
bananas and applesauce to my list!  Apparently C had consumed
3 bananas and 4 applesauces, and S 2 bananas while we were
not around!  Gracious!!!!

They like to get to tball practice early so they can play before
it starts!

Beautiful sunset!

Lazy kiddos!

5 weeks later our screened porch is finally being fixed!!

At Great Harvest Bread Co, when you color a
picture and bring it in, the kids get free HUGE
cookies!  We took advantage of this for sure!  And
check out the kids' art - C on top, S on bottom!

They were quite excited!

Dance - S in jazz class (the short one in the middle!)!  I
have no clue how old some of these girls are, but they sure do look
a lot older to me!!
