An Amazing Weekend

I know that I have once again fallen off of the blogging train, but I am trying my hardest to get back on track. I may even get a few posts up in the next few days since I'm only responsible for one kiddo. Ha! In case you're wondering, my parents came down for a short visit and took Ellie back home with them.

It was actually an impromptu visit and they called to say they were on their way late Friday morning. I met them on my lunch break to give them the carseats, and they picked up both kids at school. When Eric and I got off work, we all went to town for dinner and some quick shopping. They were tired from traveling, so they headed back to the house with Ellie while Eli, Eric and I ran a few more errands.

On Saturday after Eli's ball practice, we all went to lunch and Ralphie's Fun Center. It was some of the most fun I've had in a long time playing putt-putt, watching the kids jump in the inflatables, and watching Eli stomped his daddy in bowling. Ha!

My parents had to leave and took Ellie with them, so the boys and I did some grocery shopping before heading home. We ended the day by grilling out, watching movies and playing board games. We all ended up oversleeping this morning and missed church. We NEVER sleep that late. I guess we were tired because we've basically watched movies and played board games all day.

I haven't felt this rested in a long time. What a great way to start Spring Break!!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought ...

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...
