War Eagle Anyway

We went over to Sue & Tom's this morning to watch the Auburn V. Mississippi State game. It was painful. It looks like it may be a loooong season for Auburn fans this year. Sue abd Tom have a pool so Julia and Hollye went swimming, which allowed me to watch most of the painful game without having to worry about what Julia was doing. Normally I would have appreciated that, but today it almost seemed like punishment not to have a distraction!

When I tried to take Julia's picture this afternoon she wanted to have her picture made with the dogs. She LOVES Nelli and Caddy and most of the time they love her. She likes to try to "ride" Nelli. She'll sit on her back and say "Yee haw. Ride 'em cowboy". And she thinks she is the boss of Caddy. Poor Caddy gets told "be quiet" or "No Caddy" countless times a day, but she still refers to him as her "pal".

P.S. It is REALLY hard to try to get a good picture of 2 dogs and a 2 year old!

Husband of the Year??

We had dinner at McLin's tonight in honor of Aunt Doris's birthday. After we got done eating Carie and Betsy met us and Michael took Betsy and Julia while Carie and I went to a consignment sale in Ozark (Troy had a ball game).  Carie brought the girls harmonica's and I think they played them all night! Michael called us on his way home and let us listen to their concert!

Carie & I got some cute stuff for the girls, but we both agreed that there wasn't as much "good stuff" as in the past. We still had fun and enjoyed some "adult time" though.

Thank you for "baby-sitting" so I could go shopping, Michael! 

Paging Dr. Walters! Part 2

Today was Community Helper Day at Julia's school. Mom made this scrub top for her last year so we got another year's worth of wear out of it. She even took her stethoscope with her, just like a real doctor! 

I love those pretty curls! 

I love this silly girl! 

Community Helper Day 2011 & 2012

American Girl

Julia got her first American Girl catalog in the mail today. Since we got back from church Julia has been alternating between "loving" Caddy, riding her rocking horse, and picking out a baby! 

I had a doctor appointment this afternoon. The verdict is, I'm still pregnant! Charlotte is nice and cozy in there. Dr. Pollard did say he could induce me on Monday, but I'm still a iffy about it. I have until Sunday night to make a decision, so I guess we'll see how I feel then!

Say Cheese!

Michael went visiting with Ben tonight, something he hasn't done in a while, so it was just Julia and I tonight. I was doing some things on the computer and looked over to find Julia posing her baby doll on the edge of our bed and taking their picture with her hands. She kept telling them to "say cheese". I told Michael the other day, I think she's the only 2 year old in the world that thinks you have to hold the camera up to your eye to take a picture! 

When Michael got home he sat on the floor and watch Disney Junior with her for a little bit. I was sitting at the computer and Julia said "Mommy, take our picture". Michael may say she's a Mama's girl, but she sure does love her daddy! 

Look at that big grin! 

Happy Labor Day!

Well, today was labor day, but unfortunately I didn't spend it labor! We've had a pretty lazy day. We ran some errands, went for a ride in the Jeep and got some lunch.

 

Michael took this picture when I was getting ready this morning. I got the chair from the desk to sit in while I was straightening my hair. It wasn't very long before Julia got her chair and a brush and was sitting next to me doing her hair! :)

 We went to Milano's for lunch today. I had the eggplant parmesan in hopes of inducing labor. No luck so far though!

I wanted a cheeseburger for dinner so we set out for Ruby Tuesday's since Annie's was closed today. We didn't make it there before Julia was out so we opted for Dairy Queen to go instead. When Julia woke up she ate some of my leftover chicken tenders and dipped them in Michael's sweet and sour sauce. A few minutes later I noticed that her fingers and around her mouth were red. I guess it's an allergic reaction to the sweet and sour sauce. We tried to give her some benadryl, but I'm not sure how much she actually took. Ever since they tried to give her liquid loratab after she had her adenoids out she has NOT liked to take medicine. That must have been some bad stuff!

You can see the red around her mouth a little here.

 

It's back to schcool and work for all of us tomorrow, unless Charlotte decides she wants to grace us with her presence! :)

It's Football Season!

Football season is finally here!  Auburn kicked off their season with Clemson tonight. It was not the win we were hoping for, but the good news is there's lots of room for improvement! 

When we were getting dressed this morning I noticed that Julia was unaccounted for and quiet, which usually means she's up to something. I found her in Charlotte's room "cleaning". I walked in and she said "Ta da! Look what I made, Mommy!". There was a box of carpet deodorizer on the dresser and she emptied the entire box on the floor. When we walked in the house tonight you immediately smelled it! After she spread it on the floor she got the little scrubber I was using to clean up spots and said "Mommy, I cleaning Baby Charlottes room". 

Ta da! 

Of course we had to vacuum it all up. Michael got the vacuum and tried to do it himself, but Little Miss Independent insisted on doing it.

 We had to get our annual "First Day of Football Season" picture. I thought these would get easier with time, but I'm not so sure about that! :)

38 Weeks

This afternoon we went to Cheeburger Cheeburger for lunch so we took the top off the Jeep.

Sharing a mango milkshake!

Cool girl with her sunglasses on upside down! 

 It didn't take very long before she was out! 

This afternoon Julia and I made a dip and "Tiger Tails" to take to Nana and Pop's for the game tonight. She loves to help me in the kitchen. 

We made a blueberry cheesecake dip with orange sugar crystals on top. Julia used the whole bottle of orange sugar crystals! 

Sneaking a marshmallow...or two! 

Copying what her Daddy was doing to try to get her to smile!
