Weekend Recap

We had the most wonderful weekend minus Ellie getting sick.  Yeah, two weeks into the regular routine of our lives, and I am home with a sick kid.  UGH!

Back to the awesome weekend.

Friday night I was too tired to cook, so I grabbed McDonald's for dinner.  After eating we bathed the kids and settled in for our weekly tradition - Family Movie Night.  Eli is on a Christmas kick, so we watched a holiday favorite.  After the kids went to bed, Eric and I attempted to watch something together, but we fell asleep.  We are just such an exciting couple. Ha!


Saturday morning I took the kids with me to town so that Eric could work on his boat.  We started with breakfast at Hardee's before making a grocery run.  Back at home we played, watched the Little League World Series, and knocked some chores off of our "to do" list.


Saturday evening we were finally reunited with the Adkins!!!  We had a nacho bar and dessert, and the house was so full of chaos and laughter, and the sounds of good friends who had been away far too long.


After an impromptu baseball/soccer game in the front yard, the kids came in and showed their skills at a self proclaimed (by Eli) dance party.  I'm just gonna say that the Adkins' babies got moves.  Haha!


I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time.  It was so good for my soul.  The whole evening blessed me so much, and I can't wait to catch up again.



After everyone left, we thought Ellie felt a little warm, but assumed it was from running around.  Not so much.  She woke up yesterday morning with a low-grade fever and was just pitiful. We stayed home from church to let her get some rest, and I had a few minutes to work on my fall porch. Today it's all business with doctors appointments, and I am grateful to report she just has some allergy/sinus issues.

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
