A Weekly Wrap-up

last weekend, gianna had her friend emma over to play after ballet class. surprise, surprise, they played dress up! and found some fun things in g's toybox too!

we went out to dinner...someone dressed as a cheerleader and looked super cute in her poppa's hat.

these two were snuggling on one side of the booth...

...while these two were being goofballs on the other side!

i think we have our holidays mixed up here. it was st. patrick's day and roman was allowed to wear his favorite green shirt. but, he's looking more like a bunny...silly boy!

i love this picture. he's all sweaty, her hair is a rat's nest, but it's sunny and momma had snacks in the car, so they were happy happy happy!

love this crazy silly boy of mine!
gianna and momma had a date at the movies to see cinderella. i worried that it would be over her head because it wasn't a cartoon, but she didn't do too bad (although it was a bit beyond her). i mean, when momma promises popcorn, you go, right?

a little sunday morning grocery shopping after church...

the kids were keeping themselves occupied taking pictures of themselves!!

how cute are these two?

Weekend Warriors

this past weekend was fun in an unplanned kind of way.

on friday night, we made an impromptu bowling alley visit and it was a lot of fun. this was the first time that everybody bowled independently and that was quite a milestone for us.

look at him fling that ball down the lane!

roman would push gianna's little helper out to the lane for her and she would carry her own ball to it. and, of course, who doesn't wear their fairy wings to the bowling alley?

on saturday after dance class, gianna and momma and miss kelly went to charleston to visit miss allie and adeline. because mr. jason was out of town and miss allie's mom was there, we ended up spending the night and having an all girls night. so fun.

when we returned on sunday, we rested a bit and then headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. roman is getting ready for opening day soon, so he did a little batting and fielding practice.

 

poppa planted some new flowers out front and the kiddos are really enjoying taking care of them.

does anyone else see management in his future?

so, that's what our weekend was like. we are already looking forward to next weekend!

Celebrating

it seems like we always have something to celebrate around here!

my birthday was a couple weeks ago, but we had a nice evening together, and that is my favorite way to celebrate.

the boys seemed to be lighting a small bonfire with all my candles...

roman shaped them into my age. can you see it? i hope not!

and then, we got to have some treats!

my chocolate boy

my vanilla girl!

and sometimes we don't even need a reason to celebrate, we just get to eat ice cream on the couch

roman had president's day off of school and had his buddies over. they went to sonic on the golf cart. lucky!

she LOVES this dress from mimi and puts it on any chance she gets!

gianna dressed up her doll in her halloween outfit and they pretended to take her trick or treating.

celebrating the last game of the season, undefeated, baby!

this group of boys are so fun!

i love walking in and seeing my kiddos like this.

we even got to celebrate our friend adeline's baptism with miss allie and mr. jason. gianna sure does love her miss allie!

celebrating learning to spit! woo hoo!

this past weekend, we traveled to sumter, sc to watch macee and her teammates play in the state championship game and guess what? they won! to add the cherry on top of that...mimi flew down just to watch the game! what a great day!

who doesn't love a popsicle in the tub?

monday was dr. suess's birthday and roman got to wear a dr. suess shirt to school. since he knows that thing 1 and 2 always come and wreak havoc, he wanted to get in on the fun and be thing 3. but, they don't really make those shirts, so we made our own! he was so proud!

and when roman asked for pancakes, of course, i had to add a dr. suess flair to them and made a couple of hats, green eggs and a thing 1 flapjack. too fun!
