Labor Day Weekend

We had some great company for labor day weekend! Anthony's Aunt Patsy came to visit us. She got into town on Thursday evening. Friday after the girls got on the bus we headed to natchitoches, Louisiana. That is where the movie Steel Magnolias was filmed. Also the Cane river is there. We really enjoyed our trip. I will post my pictures at another time I am posting this from my phone so these are the only pictures for now. It was a beautiful morning and we loved hanging out with Aunt Patsy! I am pretty sure Caden felt like king for the day.

Friday night we broke out the old wahoo game! Caylea played on her own team she is such a great little game player she actually won the game!

Saturday night was the first OU game. Anthony grilled some delicious food! It was great for Anthony to have Patsy to watch the game with. I can sit in the living room with him but it's obvious I am not really into the game -sorry babe-

Caden feel asleep in his bedroom floor with the remote in his hand. I had to take a picture - he is so funny!

Patsy sang at church Sunday! I think it was the perfect song for the day! I wish I had recorded it- I had planned on it and then I just forgot :(

Sunday night the kids sat with us in church because I had nursery and mine were the only ones there.

Monday morning Anthony, Caden and Patsy got up early and headed to Longview to the train station. Caden got sick there and ended up running a fever and sleeping most of the day. Thankfully he woke up fine Tuesday and so far no one else has picked up his bug.

The girls and I headed next door to Saniyah's birthday party. It was a wonderful birthday party. My girls had so much fun! The love Saniyah so much! I also have lots of real pictures for this also. I will share soon.

I have been so incredibly busy! It's hard to believe how busy I am! I would think with the girls in school I would have all of this free time. However between things with church, cleaning the house, volunteering at the school, normal household things like grocery shopping and taking care of Caden all my time is used up.

Caden and I headed to the school before 830 yesterday for a PTO meet and greet meeting, after that we had a stallion store volunteer meeting, we then stapled and collated for a bit before lunch with each of the girls.

I was so excited I spoke with Carolina's teacher and she thought Carolina would do okay if we stayed for lunch with her.  Carolina is doing great since taking the bus. I think my taking her to school just caused too much anxiety (that and she just needed the time to adjust). When she rides the bus it's "oh there is the bus time to go". Her little friend Aubrey lives down the street at the next stop so it works out wonderfully!

Having lunch with Carolina meant that Caden and I were at the school til after 1. We came home and had 2 hours to chill before the girls got home.

Wednesday nights are kinda crazy. I don't see how working moms do it. We start homework 30 minutes after Caylea gets off of the bus. Then it's go go go till bedtime! I guess it's not called humpday for no reason!

Kids running around after class on Wednesday night! It was so beautiful!

Caden and a member of our church's grand daughter Cassidy. She is so cute and such a little smarty!! I really think she sounds much older than 4! She calls her grandmother "dolly" love it!

Since yesterday was so crazy I vowed to relax today. I did do some laundry and mopped the floor this afternoon while chatting on the phone. (ha ha such a rough life huh?)  However this morning Caden and I took a nap and played the wii! Lol loved it! Really loved that he slept longer than me so I got some super duper quite!!!

I got an email this morning asking for volunteers to help set up the book fair this morning. I wanted to go I really did but in the end decided not to. It wasn't much notice and sometimes you just need to know that it's best to take a day to chill. I emailed her later and told sorry I didn't make it but to let me know if they needed help tomorrow. They do so Caden and I will head up there in the morning.

Next week is going to be super busy! Monday I am helping with the book fair during Carolina's classes time. Tuesday we are getting trot shirts separated and organized and Wednesday is my normal stapling and collating day and lunch with the girls. (going to see if I can change this day I think)

Not all weeks are going to be this busy ~ I think this is all so good for Caden to. He is already comfortable with the school. He really likes the girls teachers and lots of other people up there. So many people up there talk to him. We are still planning on putting him in a mothers day out I just haven't called yet. :)

Well that's it for now I think! Hope you all are having a blessed life! I know I am!
