September!

Added some cubicles for toys Carolina loves playing at these  

Carolina's creativity 

Chocolate cake with the little helpers 

This was when I decided to put a blue apron on beaus Christmas list lol

So tired in the mornings 

The happiest girl when daddy can take her to school 

She was proud of the hat she made at school 

He always gives nana loves 

This child and her toes!!

"Look mommy a heart!" 

OBSESSED with this smiley face dress! She loves to draw happy faces 

And it twirls 

Making her Oscar grouch face

Little monsters 

Beau loves his pirate ship and blue blanket from nana nutmeg 

Spirit day

His schedule has been nuts since waking up with sister on school days 

An afternoon with mawmaw

When you pick your own outfit lol

I can't believe they BOTH fell asleep sitting up the same way lol 

Pretty girl blowing kisses for church on Sunday 

You are my sunshine 

NOT a happy morning! 

Beau found another use for the pirate ship! 

These kids love their grandparents and being close by 

Veterans Day 

We met mawmaw for breakfast 

Sunday school flashlight fun

I could not even with her in my pajamas! 

We had an ihop date with daddy 

Her fabulous outfit 

MY BOY 

If ever anyone wonders why there's not as many pics of him it's because he says don't take my picture lol 

But he's TOO CUTE

Carolina's deer has been featured in lots of photos it's her favorite lately 

That's one way to eat your lunch 

Craft Carolina made Wednesday night at church. Beau Michael didn't attend because he told us he swallowed money so Dane took him to emergency room for X-rays 

THIS BOY 

There was no money! 

Pretty in pink 

"I'm a unicorn!"

We love to see mawmaw at work but hate to leave junie out while she's at school! 

After school we made a yummy apple snack 

The best cheeks this side of Texas! 

We ate at firehouse subs because I knew Carolina loved it and we hadn't had luck getting her to eat lately. Normally we eat in the drive thru but this time we went in and it was ADORABLE!! The kids really loved it 

Dane worked out of town for almost two weeks...like 13 days. It was ROUGH on these babies and on mama. Two babies means two towels for two baths!  

And two sleepyheads taking up daddy's spot 

Sleeping beauty! 

I was trying to get some extra time in with Junie...we went to her ARD and officially moved her up. But first, chippies and green sauce 

For a second I thought she had a bruise but it was just pen! I laughed so hard and so did she 

How I found bobo when we were done 

Carolina loves matching me and has gotten very into it! Sometimes she cries if we can't match. Makes days like these so special. 

Wednesday praise team practice! We had a plant explosion in the town over which is where our church is located. I was on the way home from church and I was talking to Dane on the phone and telling him how I should have taken a different way because I forgot about all the road closures. Then when I entered the neighborhood I felt like a car was following me so I turned at the end of our street to make sure because I didn't want them to follow me into the driveway. Well as I'm passing the house I see that Danes work truck was home! I was on the phone with him and he was telling me about getting hung up at work and how it would be another couple days and blah blah and that little rat was on his way home and waiting for us! It was the most wonderful surprise 

Potty stickers on the calendar 

Beau is his name and trouble is his game!

He sometimes will ask for his backpack and say he wants to go to school...to which Carolina responds "UH UHHHHH! Sissy school!" 

Pretty coffee 

She realized we both have brown hair and was so excited that we match! 

We met our bestie for Jimmy Changas, our favorite! 

This day was hot and exhausting! My kids cheeks kept getting so pink from playing so hard, I had to make them rest and drink water several times 

These two are really tight when they wanna be! Loved them holding hands in the car 

We went to hobby lobby to see the new fall decor Saturday morning! 

I was very conflicted about Halloween this year. I've never felt that way before but Carolina had been having lots of talk of monsters. It stopped and only got out pumpkins and was making a box of Halloween stuff to give away and they started playing in it 

Carrying my big baby into church knowing that tomorrow she goes to school all day. I was very mentally and emotionally aware of what was changing 

Fall fork painting 

When beau woke up the painting got carried away 

And Carolina got caught blue handed lol 

First day of all day big girl school....I just felt completely robbed of our time together 

Hey did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world 

That's my heart walking to prek all by herself I was not prepared 

I cried all day! Beau kept saying mommy sad mommy miss Carolina?? 

"You are my sunshine" ☀️ 

We went on mommy beau dates to keep us busy the first few days otherwise we missed Carolina too much 

She came home with her first library book "fortunately" that she really loved! 

Been watching boss baby so much they're into playing babies and being the baby! Beau asked to watch boss baby and when I said no since it was way after bedtime he started having a pretend convo with toy stuffed Rex Dino and then telling me the Dino wants to watch boss baby.

Little mister giddy up 

After school baking

Carolina and her big hips! I died laughing when she walked in with balls in her diaper 

On our way to church that night Carolina fell asleep! Beau played cars on the dashboard until she woke up and we went in 

She loved this book and beau asked her to "read" it to him 

Stinkers 

Celebration treats for making it through the week! 

I'm gonna end this blog here because what happens next is pretty special and deserves its own post
