Well......it's been a long weekend. Started off Saturday.....Mason was at dad's all day and spending the night, so he was taken care of.......Buie went for a run with Chris and me at the park in the morning, then we hurried to get ready for the day, took Buie to Susan's for mom to pick him up, then we were off to Elwyn's to pack up for Athens. We had a great ride up to Athens with Tommy's friend from Alabama (die hard) and got a great tailgating spot next to Annie and Mather (Matt White's friends). They had t.v.'s, tent, music, we had lots of food and were having fun. All until we got to the game and watched Georgia get their tails kicked. Have to say, that was not much fun to watch. Oh well, we made our way back home and got to bed around 2:00 a.m.! Thank goodness we did not have the boys and were able to sleep in until around 10:00a.m. After Buie was droped off, Chris and Buie and I went to my soccer game at Terrell Mill. Buie was an angel, playing with Chris while I played. To be honest, I think Buie had no idea I was there until I went up to him at half time. Then he didn't want to leave, but it was nap time. So while I finished up with my game, Chris went home to put Buie and Mason down for a nap, because we had a birthday party to go to at 4. I hate doing it, but I had to wake them up to get in the car to get to the party an hour late. Once we got there, Mason and Buie had a blast. They had a bounce house and you could not get Mason out of there. He was the only boy and the youngest and he had a blast. Buie even got up the courage to bounce a little bit when it was empty. Then it was home, bath and bed, since the boys have school tomorrow. I am wiped out too. I don't know how many more game days I can do. My body can't take it like it use to!

The picture of the day was taken at the Marietta square. A train came by and Chris ran to show the boys, but they got a little scared by the noise. You can tell the excitement in their faces in the picture. We met Chris at the square, where he got a hair cut (neither of the boys were interested in getting theirs cut) and then we had lunch at the Marietta Pizza Co. Buie was so worn out that he fell asleep in the car on the way home, but Mason "had to go pee". So, when he says that, you have to pull over and go where you can. Oh the convenience of boys is wonderful, we pulled over on the side of the road and I let him go right there. Then home for naps, including me today.

Not too much has been going on the past few days. The boys had school Monday and again today. They are getting better, but still are not huge fans of school. On Tuesday, Vanessa came to play with them while I was able to get some work done. And of course we had dinner at Grandma's house last night. It was Tuesday night!! The boys got to play with Crawford and Julie. It's always an interesting night when you get 3 boys together under the age of 3.

Mason's way up high in the thing that shoots out balls at the playground. He got a little scared once he was up there.

My little monkey, Buie!

The Boy's had fun at the Sandy Springs Festival this weekend... building a tool box with Homer and Mommy , feeding animals , going down huge slides... Buie was upset he couldn't take part in everything... but he had a great time watching his big bro!

TGIF! I had a wonderful day. Vanessa came to watch the boys while I went to the consignment sale at Mt Bethel, then I did a little shopping at the Avenues. After I felt bad about spending money, I went and worked out. (I will be very sore tomorrow) Then to the grocery store and back home to let Vanessa go home. Granny came over and we cooked out and she helped me do some sewing, while the boys played with Chris and managed to destroy the house. The boys then took their second shower of the day and off to bed they went.

Mason thinks he is sooooo big.

Kiss, kiss from great granny!

Playdate at Granny's

Oh, what a long day today was. We had nothing on the schedule today, so we decided to go to my Granny's house and play and eat lunch. Mom and Aunt Danna met us over there. The boys had a blast playing outside. It was a gorgeous day! We ate Chick fil a then came home to nap. After short naps, we went to Chris's mom's house to play with cousin Crawford and eat dinner. Sounds like all we did today was eat, sleep and play! Needless to say, the boys had blast today. Here are some pictures from our day.

School day again! Chris dropped off (with both shoes today) and I picked up. Good reports frmo both teachers. Buie is making progress! I worked at Peridot for a couple of hours and then went to pick up. Came home, had lunch, played for a long time, then Buie took a nap. Mason and I read stories and we fell asleep on his bed. I snuck out and got dinner ready. We they woke up, Granny stopped by to play and eat dinner. after dinner we painted. That's what todays pictures are from. Buie is not as neat as Mason is...........

Music at Chastain Park

Today was my working day. Vanessa (babysitter) forgot to come, so she was a little late, but came to watch Buie. Mason spent the night with dad, so he was not home all day. I was able to go work out for a couple of hours before I had to get to work. Once I finished my monogramming and Buie woke up, we went to dad's to get Mason and go to the park for free music at Chastain. Needless to say, Mason and Buie were not interested in the music, but loved the playground. After a couple of hours of playing, we went to dad's to have some dinner, play and take a bath. Chris had a banquet to go to. Then home and bed.

Here's a picture of Buie a few weeks ago. (before he got all his hair cut off)

It was a long but fun day today. I took the boys to school today, Buie screamed when we pulled in the parking lot and Mason was a brave big brother and told Buie it was okay. He told him that mommy was going to the gym and would be back in a lttile bit to pick him and Buie up. Buie did not seem to care. Then I went to work out, pick up some fabric and then had a room mother's meeting. I am room mom for Buie's class. We came home and then Mason was picked up by Maizie to go spend the night out. Buie and I played then he napped for a long time. I was able to get a little work done. Soon after Buie got up, Chris came home and we all went on a hunt for Champ. We found him and then Chris cut the grass and Buie had a blast playing outside. After dinner, Buie played for a while, then took a shower with Chris and off to bed he went.

We miss Mason, but again I was able to get some work done.
