Busy Week

Last week was so busy, I didn't have time to post. Here's a recap of our week:

Monday the 27th: Mom & Dad's Anniversary (see previous blog)

Tuesday the 28th: My brother Lee's 39th Birthday. Also, Johnny & Cindy (& kids) came over for pizza. The kids played outside and we watched TV.

Wednesday the 29th: My mom's birthday. The kids went to Tabby's for the day (mom had dr. appts.). Then we went to church for Christian University.

Thursday the 30th: I stayed late at school to work on lesson plans. Then, I tried to catch up on laundry, housecleaning, and spending time with the kids. I was exhausted, needless to say!

Friday the 31st: My sinus/allergies were acting up and I was very tired by the end of the week. Tony took Rhett and Micah to the CHS Football game. I stayed home with Blair to work on my Labor Day weekend to-do list. ;)

Saturday the 1st: Tony worked on the deck (he's re-doing the floor). Rhett and Micah spent most of the morning and afternoon playing with the neighbor kids. Mom and Damon stopped in to visit while running errands. I worked on putting away Blair's 3-6 months clothes and getting out the 6-9 months clothes. I got very emotional and started tearing up. It was very hard to box up the clothes, especially the cute little dresses that Micah wore, too. Saturday night all 3 kids spent the night at my parent's house (Blair's 1st sleepover). Tony and I met up with Jennifer, Rachel, Steve, and his fiance (I think). We saw Haywood Banks (the comedian). My mom was a little jealous, because she loves hearing him. Afterwards, Tony and I rented Facing the Giants. It was a great movie!!!!

Sunday the 2nd: I picked up the kids from my mom's before church. After church, we did our typical Sunday afternoon ... eat, take a nap, and catch up on chores. We didn't have night church, so Tony and I decided to take the kids to the Charlestown State Park for a picnic- well, we did carryout pizza from Papa John's and leftover birthday cookies from mom's. The kids played on the playground, kicked a beachball around, and rode bikes. Then Micah wanted to check out the campgrounds and Tony wanted to see the new boat ramp to the Ohio River. All 3 kids fell asleep on the drive home.

Monday the 3rd: Tony continued to work on the deck. I finished going through Blair's clothes (and worked on Micah's closet as well). I ran a few errands (needed to buy prizes for the prize box at school), got a few groceries, and ordered take out Chinese for Tony. Rhett and Micah played with the neighbor kids. We all played with some empty boxes -my kids have such great imaginations, it doesn't take much to entertain us!!! Rhett and Micah colored some pictures, read some books, and cleaned the basement and their rooms. Both have been on a cleaning kick here lately, no complaints!!!! Monday evening, we got everything ready for Micah's first day of Preschool. I'll blog about how her first day went later.

Busy week, but a lot of GREAT family time! Tony and I are trying hard to cherish all of the little moments. People keep telling us how fast the time slips by. It's been more obvious this school year, with Rhett starting Kindergarten, Micah starting Preschool, and Blair already 6 months old and sitting up. It's amazing!!!!
