Disney on ice!

We met he trotters and the Bennett's for Disney on ice.  We had a great time!  Gibson didn't take his eyes off the show. 

Crazy sock day! October 28

Today is crazy sock day!  LeLe picked out her outfit including her Red Sox shirt. Who knew she even had it?? She didn't want to wear regular shoes either!  Today it just wasn't worth the fight!

I spent all day catching up...washing clothes and doing orders.  I also am ramping up for the Halloween parties this week.  It's about to get crazy!!

Mom cooked us dinner.  Matt had to work late but it didn't stop us from celebrating my birthday.  She bought me an ice cream cake but we waited a little too long and it melted....a lot.  We got tickled lighting the candles too.  She gave me a hilarious card....but in normal fashion, forgot to sign it. 

Pigeon forge- day 1

I am not sure who was the happiest to be in pigeon forge, the kids or Matt!  He loves Dollywood.  I tend to agree.  While we have been to bigger and better themem parks, this one just has the nicest workers and visitors.  Matt and I decided that we were either the youngest person by at least 50 years or the smallest by 200 lbs.

The kids rode many many many rides including all but the ones that they were to small for...they both love the big ones! LeLe asked the workers a lot of questions and they both told everyone wearing Alabama garb...roll tide! We ate breakfast before we went at some random pancake house and then ate lunch at the park at grandmas kitchen.  We ordered pizza for dinner when we got home.

Dollywood Day 2 - October 25th

We woke up fairly and decided to go ahead an do the park again.  This time we grabbed lunch at the park as soon as we got there.  This time we are at Aunt Granny's kitchen which was a buffet that had fried chicken and veggies.  The kids loved the park.  Unfortunately there were more people there than yesterday.  We had to park way out and hitch a ride on the trolley.  

We spent the entire day riding rides and before we left to come home, Matt agreed to some paid games...obviously, he was better at them than I anticipated.  He won a huge donut right away.  I'm not quite sure what we are going to do with it but everyone was super excited!

Surprise Vacation! October 23, 2014

Matt surprised us with a trip for the weekend to dollywood.  The kids had a dental appointment on Thursday evening.  We took them to get their teeth cleaned, ran home to finish packing and then left around 5:00 headed to Gatlinburg.  The kids always love going to the dentist.  Every time we pass it, they want to go.  We made it to the cabin around midnight...with both kids wide awake!

Sick Sunday - 10/12/14

The kids probably should not have swam yesterday...Gibson woke up several times with nose bleeds and LeLe was very puney.  We decided to lay around while Matt went on to church.  Afterwards, we went to the movie to see alexander and the no good horrible day.  I loved it...Gibson kept asking in the movie..."what color is this candy?  I cannot see anything....is this one blue? Is this one orange? Is the movie over?  Why is it so dark? ". I'm pretty sure it wasn't his favorite movie.  ;)

Matt grilled for dinner and we played uno.   We played 8 rounds....Gibson won 6 times even without us letting him! 

Football and swimming!

One if my favorite things to do...sit by the pool and watch football.  Today was no exception.  The kids were a little on the sick side so we slept in and missed their soccer games.  I cooked breakfast and then we watched football and swam. 

The say even gotten sweeter as auburn lost and Alabama won...barely.

Columbus Day...mcwane

The kids were out of school today for Columbus Day.  Unfortunately, the sunshine was also on vacation.  We decided to go to the mcwane center with the Bennett's to help move the day along.  The kids had a blast.  There were a little too many folks there for me. 

What?? Isn't he a pretty girl?

Gibson wears what ever LeLe tells him to! 

Spend the night parties!

Gibson spent the night with Lauren last night and LeLe spent the night with katelyn Bennett.  Matt and I ran out to dinner and then caught up on some tv shows.  I was bummed about Alabama losing so watching other teams win wasn't an option.  I am not good at losing.  

LeLe played a soccer game at 8:30.  Gibson and Matt slept in.  

Marvel at the BJCC

Watch out folks...there are some new super Heros in town!  Mr. Mark gave us tickets to the the marvel super hero show.  The kids loved it but kept asking if it was real.  LeLe also asked if they had shin guards on their backs since they kept getting hit.  The show was fun but since I don't know super Heros it was a little hard to follow.  

LeLe was on protest this morning saying that no one commented on her cute clothes so she wanted to wear something different...here we go!
