This and That :)

We've had a great week so far! 

Our precious babies are keeping us smiling and laughing! We are practicing daily with the girls to say "I'm 2!" Cannot believe 2 weeks from now I'll have 2 two year olds!!! (Cue the tears!)

The Mr. and I have been meal prepping since school started back and it's great! He is so good about doing it every Sunday...he does our salads and I do breakfast! 

Beautiful veggies for our salads! 

These cuties just LOVE their Daddy!

The girls had some homework this past weekend...to make a family tree! I didn't have all of my tools at home to make it more creative but here is how it turned out! 

They loved looking at the pictures! And their teachers hung it out front for everyone to see! :) 

These two make my heart flutter! Emma Kate didn't want to go to bed the other night and asked to bed rocked 3 times after she had been rocked twice...well later I checked on them and this is how I found them sleeping. In Olivia's bed with Olivia giving her love! 

I've never done Scholastic book orders in my classroom because where I taught previously most families couldn't afford buying books for their kiddos. I placed my first order at my new school with my new kiddos and it was so cool! I only had two families make orders but with their two orders I was able to get 3 free books! I got two for my classroom and choose one for TJH! He loved his new book! 

The Mr. is doing the Lego Club at school so he will be gone some afternoons/evenings. No worries...we can make it work great! Monday night I got everyone a puzzle to work on while I prepped dinner! 

We got a package this week from a very special family! Precious new outfits for our girls and gift cards for our new home. I am so blessed to have had a friendship with this family for many many years and I've loved watching them become parents and being apart of their children's lives! And I'm so happy that I can share my babies with them too! :) 

If you know me you know I have seasonal candy favorites...my fall one is candy corn. But I eat them weird...I don't like the white part. I sent this to my friend L and J and they both laughed because they know about my weird way of eating candy corn. I haven't eaten too many because I'm having some stomach issues. 

When we got home yesterday EK wanted to go in the back yard for some reason...we let her and then her and Owie were playing through the door...so cute!

The last lot is being cleared in our neighborhood. And it's across the street...when we go home yesterday TJH sat and watched for awhile! 

It's been a great week and we have a fun weekend planned! 

Gel Nails

I have always loved a good mani and pedi! What girl doesn't? 

Well about two years ago I was introduced to the gel mani...well that's all I've gotten since! I love how long they last, how great they look and how it's dry instantly! I've had some last me almost a month!

I don't get them that often, but when I do I go for the gel mani. 

Well the Mr. surprised me the other day with the Sally Hansen Salon Insta 

Gel Strips Starter Kit. 

I tried it out this week and it's been great so far! I'll let you know how long it lasts. 

I used the color: Shall We Dance

I'll give you an update on how long it last later! :)

Push Present :)

So I know I talk about my sweet husband a lot...but he's totally worth talking about a ton! Not only is he an amazing husband and now daddy but he's a wonderful gift-giver!

Yesterday he brought up some oj for me to drink and on my straw was this beautiful pearl ring! As you might know, I'm a huge fan of pearls...I wear my pearl earrings everyday that he gave me on our wedding day. I also wear the pearl bracelet my mom gave me for college graduation everyday and I wear my pearl necklace from the Mr. all the time too!

I didn't want to take off my promise ring from the Mr. so I'm going to wear them together...I think they go well together! :)

But with gifts aside...I am truly so thankful for my husband. He completes me in so many ways...and knows exactly what to do and say at the right time. And now, he's the best daddy ever! Tuck and I are so blessed! :)

I love you Mr!

Tucker's own Stationary!

If you know me, you know I love to write thank you notes and love stationary! And I love monograms and things with names on it!

Well our dear friend L does too! So much that, that is what she does for a living! She works for Karen Adams...who is a very talented woman who designs stationary. L is VERY talented and has THE best handwriting ever!

We saw L a couple of weeks ago and she gave us the best gift for Tucker! His very own stationary! With his name on it of course!

So this is what she gave us....

(Go here to see more!)

Isn't it just PERFECT!!! Each card has one of the four designs on it and his name in navy! The Mr. and I were just THRILLED with this! We loved that it's a classy...not cheesy...nautical theme and perfect for our sweet boy!

Thank you L for thinking of TJH!
