Sleepytime

Is everyone else addicted to taking photos of their children while they sleep? :)















(or is it just me?)

Memorial Day Weekend: Tidbits

Here's bits and pieces of our Memorial Day Weekend:

Friday kicked off the weekend with Scott's birthday! Here's a photo of he and I on a boat ride once he finally made it to Columbia. Little did he know we were on our way to his SURPRISE birthday party!


We dodged rain storms all weekend. We definitely made our time in the sun count and when we couldn't be outside we were playing games inside.


Yes, that is Haley riding Grace's power wheels Jeep, down the pier. Why grow up? :)


Lunch in the Sand? Absolutely!


I'll have lots more to come...

Cousins

Being only 9 months apart, these two really do play well together! Grace loves her Crewbie! I wonder if she'll call him that forever. ;)


This photo was taken Memorial Day Weekend. It was a busy weekend with lots of friends and family and time in the sun and on the water! Needless to say these two were tuckered out from a long day of playing and no nap!


And another one taken one random weekend!

Photo A Day: May

So I wasn't very good at Photo A Day: May either, but I was better than I have been the past few months. Here were the daily prompts for May:



1. "Peace" / Peaceful Ballerinas:


3. "Something [I] Wore Today" / Love what capris and jack rogers in the summertime:


4. "Fun" / Playing Dress Up {mermaid}


6. "You" / Me & My Mini Me:


7. "Someone that Inspires Me" / My Mom:


8. "A smell I adore" / Mimi & Grandaddy Clyde's Roses:


10. "My favorite word" / The word teach in the Word:


11. Kitchen / View from my "kitchen" window:


12. "Something that makes me Happy" / Bulls Bay Sunset:


16. "What I'm Reading" / Interesting article on baby names in @parentingmagazine:


17. "Snack":


20. "Something I can't Live Without":


22. Pink / Grace's "pink" pig:


24. New / Shinin' her up, almost as good as "New":


So- I got 14 out of 31. Not too shabby. I do think I took a photo a day, it just didn't actually go with the theme of the actual prompts. Maybe I'll have a chance to share some of those later! All of these photos are taken with my cell phone and edited using the Instagram App.

Up for the challenge? It's June 1st! What are you waiting for?

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Lordy, Lordy....

Wine and Cupcakes

...two of my favorite things! Thursday, March 29th the Meredith College Young Alumnae Board hosted a Cupcake and Wine spring social at Cafe’ Caturra in Cameron Village. We got to enjoy a complimentary cupcake from GiGi’s cupcakes and glass of wine from Cafe’ Caturra. But the best part was spending time with some of my favorite girls!



Steel Magnolias

My friend, Julia, asked me to go with her to see the play Steel Magnolias one Friday night. This movie is probably in the top 5 of my all time favorite movies so I jumped at the chance. :)





The play was fantastic! It all took place in Truvy's beauty shop, which I wondered how they could tell the whole story that way and the fact there were only 6 actresses, but they did, and they did it very well.
