Karaoke Club

The teachers at the elementary school put on different after school camps which is super fun for the children. Molly Anne chose to do the karaoke club this year with her first grade teacher! They ended up doing an end of the club performance and we got to go watch! She and Addie sang Taylor Swift's Bad Blood song. They did awesome! It was great for these kiddos to get up in front of their peers and adults for this and gain that confidence. Molly Anne loves singing!!

Fun Run, Out

The kiddos had their fun run at school on Friday. They raised almost $70k as a school for their big fundraiser. It was so great celebrating and watching the kids run laps! The PTO does such a wonderful job!

Friday night we went to Kabuto for a Japanese steakhouse dinner! It was good. The kids wanted a pic with the puppy on the way out! 





Saturday morning was Grady's last soccer game of the season. He really enjoyed playing and loved Coach Ben! I even got to sub in for his coach a couple of times and loved it. Great job Grady!


Soccer sisters ha!


The four of us took Mills on a walk and bike ride when we got home. Loved the sunshine this weekend!


Kevin couldn't get Mills to keep walking while we were wrapping up at the playground. He insisted on waiting on his people. He's soooo loyal!


A pretty new dress came in the mail! Snagged this by adding my cell phone to text when it became available. And I sized up much to my dismay but I don't like short or restricting dresses!

Saturday night we went out with two other couples from our old hold!


We always have a great time with them!! Hi Regina! 


We tried Mal Pan which is a new taqueria in southpark. It was good. Casual and very fresh food! I can speak very highly of the OG Marg!


Sunday I focused on a huge clean out of the playroom. It has been driving me nuts for a long time and honestly Grady is kind of growing out of some of these toys so it was time to pass them on to other friends. 

This is what Mills did on Sunday!


We got to go to lunch with our friends Brad and Shauna and the kids at Hickory Tavern on Sunday which was a treat. It was good to catch up with them! Never enough time though. 

Back to it this week. Kids are off school two days, always exciting! Have a great week!

Five on Friday

ONE - trying these kicks out to hang around in. Definitely not running miles in them (you should always be fitted at a running store for those shoes!) but I will walk and do strength. I really wanted some chill shoes that are cool looking and these fit the bill. 30 day guarantee so you can take them back on day 29 if you don't like them! So far, they're winners for me.

TWO - I got Kevin these a week or so ago and he likes them. I do think they work but you have to crush it after it gets wet in the shower to get it to work. Found them on the Target app!

THREE - 

Took down all of our Halloween decor this week. For some reason, I don't love pumpkins after Halloween. I'm on to turkeys. And maybe some Christmas lights soon!


FOUR - 

Grady and Molly Anne are still loving tennis and I like watching their progress!

FIVE - 

The puppy had X-rays yesterday and all is still good on the (lack thereof) osteosarcoma front. Continuing bone strengthening infusions and we are so thankful to his oncologist turned friend of ours!

SIX - 

I had two people in one day talk about how good this lip oil is! It was funny timing because I had gotten it the day prior. The applicator is thick (not sure if that's the right word) and the oil nourishes your lips back to health from being dry. And provides a pretty glow. Highly recommend. I have rosewood but the even darker color is pretty on anyone this time of year! Worth the price on this one. 

Holiday Party Looks and Shoes

Okay two things on this post:

1. I have found over the years that the good stuff sells out early so if you think you're going to a holiday function this year, get something sooner rather than later. 

2. Use the feature on these websites to "Notify When Back In Stock." I've been able to snag a couple of these that way and I always use text not email because text is much faster. You have to click on it right away but you pretty much can always get the size you want!

ONE - this velvet dress is soooo pretty and it's long enough too. It's not a skimpy one. And it's $128.

TWO - my friend Ashley found this gem and got it in green. It's so pretty in both colors. 

THREE - size up in this dress but it's another flattering one. The dress itself is knit but still feels dressy. 






FOUR - green sparkles yes! $99



FIVE - I got this dress last year and it's a good one. No wonder it's back this year!

Shoes #1 (use the notify me and you'll get them!)

Shoes #2 

Shoes #3 - (target) I do not rep and warranty comfort ;)


Shoes #4 - these are comfortable and you can wear them a bunch afterwards


Shoes #5

I definitely ordered this clutch to carry! Always have wanted it and glad I finally ordered it!

Halloween

It was a fun Halloween. The kids got to dress up as Book Characters for school. Molly Anne was a swimmer for the Guinness Book of World Records. Grady was Pete the Cat Plays Ball. It was relatively easy to put together. Ha! I did nothing for Molly Anne - she always does this stuff herself. I did help Grady figure something out. 

I got to help at his class party that morning! So fun and a good transition from pre-school to big boy school!

After school and before trick or treating, we went to my friend Margot's for quite the fun time. The kids ran wild and we got some food in them before the candy started!





We came home to get ready for trick or treating! Poor Mills...a lion for the 11th year in a row! Molly Anne wanted to be Princess Peach because she said Grady is little and he won't want to coordinate too much longer with her. So cute, right?! 






Kevin is our pass out the candy pro.

Ms. Suzanne is always so sweet and loves my children. She lives in a cul de sac near us and she's always been so kind when they play down there.


Grady was extra excited to go to this spooky house!


Our neighborhood does it up for Halloween, I must say!




We came in around 7:30pm to sort and do some math, ha!








It was a fun night. Too bad it was a school night. 6:15am came early today!
