Staying up Late????

We hosted our first official sleepover for both of the kids during our September break. The kids were able to select one friend to invite. Alli selected her friend Kate & Caden wanted his friend Noah. Honestly we were not exactly sure how this was going to go but to my suprise it was awesome! We had Happy Meals for dinner, made a few craft projects and then after making special treats, we watched the B -Movie. Andy & I told the kids after that after the movie was bedtime and sure enough...we hear the door open...4 precious children, pillows under one arm and stuffed animals under the other, made their way to the kids rooms and went strait to bed! Just a few giggles and laughter and they were out! The next morning we made special waffles before the kids had to head home. The kids can't wait till December track out to have another!!!

Back on Track...1 that is!

Hello faithful readers...I know it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post but the kids were tracked out so we stayed on the go! I took the term "stay at home" mom loosely! Our last fling of track out, I took the kids down to Cherry Grove for a couple of days. Andy wasn't able to go, but I was determined to get some beach photos this summer. You know the scrapbooker in me couldn't let a season go without some photos. Unfortunately, the weather was not on my same wave length! Windy...did I mention it was Windy! Our first day they did get to play on the beach and jump some waves. I did eventually snap a few fun shots...and we headed home before the big storm. We had a great time at the beach. My cousin Courtney was able to join us for a little fun in the sun one day!
