Matt and his BFIL (Best Friend In Law)
Matt attempting to play football with his friends.
A rare happening...someone took a picture of me!
Matt chilling in the heated pool at last weekends party! It was beautiful.
The really neat party favors that I worked so hard on.I finally took my nephew's 3rd birthday pictures but I haven't checked with my sister to see if it is all right to post any of them yet. They did turn out really cute and I do have a favorite!
We attended the Shriner's Circus last weekend but I did not take any pictures then. We also attended a birthday party for one of my best friend's two children. It was at a beautiful location and the girls (and my nephew) had so much fun, especially swimming in a heated pool in October.
I finally cleaned out all of the baby stuff and sold almost everything I have. We also have a small fund going for our trip to Disney World next year, which I continue to remain super excited about. We have several meals booked and have started purchasing cute outfits for the kids for the trip.
We had the girls birthday party this weekend, despite my battle with a kidney stone since last Sunday at 2 a.m. I did go to the hospital and it is only 3mm but dang, it hurts! I still haven't passed it and have had to miss four days of work. I did work one day last week but I only had two sessions and I left a little bit early, if that counts for working.
The girls party was wonderful and we are such a blessed family to have friends that love us, despite my personality! The girls received many gifts but their favorites were their new American Girl dolls. Sweet Pea got Mia and Pumpkin Pie got Julie. They also got some new clothes for their dolls and new Vera Bradley messenger bags, wallets, and money to go in their new wallets. My kids are soooo spoiled and I seem to continue that trend! We had a Mickey Mouse theme this year since we have planned the Disney World trip (have I mentioned that yet?!) and the party favors turned out cute, even if I did them myself and have to brag about it myself.
So we are off to another week and I am praying to pass this stone. I have had so much time to think of corny jokes about it, such as plans to start my own pet rock collection, rock band, etc...
We are in the works of making plans for this coming weekend. We are working on party, Dollywood, or Boo at the Zoo, and maybe a couple of other options. We also have plans to attend Disney on Ice in two weeks and dinner with friends, and maybe a Halloween party that is less Halloween and more kid friendly. I guess we will wait and see.
