Memorial Day Weekend

Skiff happy to see the water in Ocean Isle on Friday

The three of us took him to the beach Friday night. Saturday morning we went to get tomatoes for Kevin and we got boiled peanuts too. Alice gave the kiddos the ultimate experience at her place - peaches and learning how to peel peanuts from the professional!

Saturday beach day

Skiff had a good day! It wasn't too hot and he's allowed on the beach before Memorial Day and after Labor Day  he loved it!

The kids and I got to go see our friend's new home. It has the best view of all times.

Hi there

Well, I think I'm sorta back. The short version is I've had to be in Maryland the last couple of weeks. My Dad was sick but is doing much better. I went back the following week and we moved my mom into a memory care place. It was time. All of that was hard to deal with but we are trying to make it work. ​

I did come home the weekend in between to see my people. We fit in baseball, field hockey and the pool. 

Moved him to his big boy condo when he was about 14 weeks old and kept a bin in half of it. That only lasted about two weeks then he needed the whole crate. A big boy!

I was also able to get home in time to have lunch with Molly Anne on the last day of lunch visitors. Last time ever! No more elementary! Ahhh! It's a busy time and next week's fifth grade promotion is going to be great! 

My dad, brother and I went to pick crabs after a tough day. I'm glad we did that.

Ugh. Chat soon friends. 

Hey

​Been a bit out of commission but I'll be back soon! 

Mothers Day

This was my Mother's Day. I'm telling you - teachers are amazing. Both of my kiddos gave me the most thoughtful cards and cute things. Mostly all via school! Soo nice! ​

Church

Then lunch at Burtons! Hilary and I made reservations haha! Sometimes we gotta take matters into our own hands!

Easy Dinner

This is such an easy dinner. The kids loved it. I got the below ham and threw it in the air fryer and drizzled a little mixture of honey and brown sugar over it. Good ole scalloped potatoes from a box (reminds me of growing up). ​And a bagged chopped salad! Done  

Grady's 8th Birthday

​Grady's actual birthday was Saturday. We also had a field hockey game, piano recital and a baseball game! His big birthday highlight was THE BAT that my parents gave him! It was all he wanted! He got to play with it in his game that afternoon and had some good hits! We celebrated with dinner that night with one of his buddies at Porters House!

We were in charge of snack on his birthday!

First up Bojangles!

Sooo happy about his gifts! He never asks for anything so it's fun to spoil him!

Field hockey then piano recital 

They all sung happy birthday to him!

The bat got a workout!

Porters house din with Beau!

It was a good day to be Grady!

Zoo

​Among two baseball games and two field hockey practices this week, Molly Anne's class had a field trip to the NC Zoo which I chaperoned. Her last field trip! It was fun but we def see more animals at the SC Zoo! Grateful to get to be with her and the flexibility at my office to make it happen!
