(Not really sure I did that right... hope so!)

Sooo last week I went to 3 separate football games!!! Tuesday night the boys played their hearts out... I took over 300 pictures and my parents and grandma even made it to the game! They ended up losing but only because the other team made 2 of those extra points after the touchdown. Boogers!!!  Still sooo proud of my boys!!! Blake caught the ball and Billy made 2 tackles!!!

Thursday night the boys had ANOTHER game! This time they won but for some reason the game was not near as exciting! Oh yeah... the coach didn't play my boys much!!! Booo coach. haha

Friday night was the High School game. I chased my 2 year old nearly everywhere because by the 3rd game of the week she wasn't about to sit still. Then I watched the best color guard team do their routines during half time! They were awesome!!!

Between bouncing around during football games, picking kids up from random practices, cleaning the house, keeping everyone fed, homework checked and done, errands ran.... Annabel and I worked on her 4th week of preschool. During this week she learned about the letter D and the color Purple. We found things around the house that begin with D, then she got really into it and would remind me of things. Dancing is a D, Dog is a D and Door is a D. I think she definitely got it this week!!! Purple was easy too... she loves purple and had a great week of coloring me purple pictures.

My week finished off with a date day with my hubby!!!! We haven't had one in awhile... a long while!!! Sooo with the teenagers watching Annabel, we had several hours of totally kid free, adult time. Went to the gun show and bought some stuff for him, then had an awesome late lunch/early dinner at Cozymels along with some yummy margaritas!!!

All in all... a good week!!!!!

Week 3 of Playing Preschool... The letter C and the color Orange

To learn the letter C and the color Orange we started out with finding things in magazines which begin with the letter C.  We also wrote some words which begin with the letter C but we didn't have a picture for... She found a chair, a cat, a car and a clock!

She also colored a really interesting orange piece of artwork...

Day 2 led us to do some match up... we matched up items from around the house with each letter we have learned so far... A... apple, B... ball and C... Car.  She did really great without any help from me!!!

She also played some alphebet games on the computer... C Computer!

By day 3 she practiced writing her letter C... sometimes she writes it backward. haha She also colored an awesome picture with her hand prints on it...

Just for fun on day 4 we played with curlers... C for Curler!!! Then she did some artwork with shaving cream (C for Cream) and orange paint... but she kept telling me it was nasty!!! haha

Now we are getting ready to go CHEER for our sissy while she does her COLOR guard routine!!! haha

Seems like a successful week!!! Can't wait to see what the letter D and the color PURPLE brings to us next week!!!

What a busy weekend

Wow what a busy weekend we've had!!! Beginning with the High School Saltbowl on Friday night. Although Benton lost to Bryant again this year... the Panther Color Guard and Band did awesome!!!!

The next morning the boys, Annabel and I got up at 4am and drove to Louisiana with my mother n law to visit family! The kids slept the first half of the drive, I got a speeding ticket, we saw 4 dinning room chairs fly out of some guy's truck, skipped the exit we were supposed to take and then eventually ended up at Sissy and Chris' house... safe and sound!!!

After arriving we were treated to yummy burgers and hot dogs grilled by Uncle Chris and then went out for beignets at Cafe Du Monde. (Turns out no matter how full the boys are with hamburgers and hot dogs... they can still eat their weight in beignets!!! haha)

The rest of the weekend was a blur of sight seeing, visiting family and eating yummy stuff!!! We didn't find an alligator but other than that I think everyone had an awesome visit! However all great things must come to an end... so we spent the greatest part of Monday (Labor Day) driving home.  No speeding tickets or flying chairs this time... just arrived home tired with a sticky chocolate covered baby. haha
