Part 4

The road warriors were off to Roanoke for a fun-filled cousin/sister week. Wade was out of town for work, so we went to keep Kelly and Tate company. It was a fast and fun week!! Here's the recap:

Monday: Our first pumpkin patch of the fall!

Mallory and Tate could have stayed there all night long pulling the wagons, running through the maze and attempting to pick up all the pumpkins! Morgan went straight for the hay everytime I put her down...turkey.

This was the first attempt at a cute sister picture in the pumpkin patch. Not too bad!!

Tuesday: Meeting Miss Audrey for the first time!

One of my college roommies, Brooke, had a baby girl 2 days after Morgan was born. I had still never met her in person...until Tuesday. I finally made the trek up to her house to meet Audrey in person (and to see Brooke!). It was a great morning of catching up, letting the kiddos meet and then topped it off with a lunch at Chick Fil A. I love being around Brooke. She is one of the sweetest people that I've known. And, she has a great snort when she laughs (Mallory got to hear it in person!!!) I'm just sorry that it took me 10 months to meet this adorable baby!! Brooke and I compared stories about Audrey and Mallory. They seem to be kindred spirits as infants:)

Wednesday: Reunion of sister friends and their offspring!

Way back in the 8th grade, I met a girl named Jill. We went through middle school and high school together. We were also in the same youth group, so we obviously spent a lot of time together. She has a sister who is just one year younger than Kelly. Long story short, we had a mini reunion in March of 2007. Back then, there were 4 physical kids there, one in utero and one about to be in utero:) So, needless to say, it was a fun playdate with 4 mommies and SIX kids!! Being around Jessie and Jill is just plain FUN! They have great personalities and it's easy to be around them. There are no pictures to document this fun time...unfortunately I forgot my camera...or more accurately, forgot to take it out of my purse to take a picture. I don't know why it slipped my mind...

Thursday: Low key day and night out for the mommies!

We had planned on heading to the zoo or something fun like that, but it was overcast and a little cool outside. Plus, Morgan started having a cough and I was nervous to have her out in crazy weather just after having an ear infection. Bummer!

Wade offered (after Kelly told him the plans!) to put the kids in their beds while we went out and did something fun. So, like mad women after dinner, we bathed them and got everything ready for Wade. We were out the door by 7:15!! Being the crazy mommies that we are, we headed straight for Target. We sure did spend 2 hours in Target just leisurely browsing everything we saw and actually trying on clothes! That doesn't happen very often. After shopping, we headed to Johnny Carino's for some YUMMY chocolate cake/ice cream. It was great! Finally, we headed home around 11 and watched the tivo'd Office episode.


Friday: Back home to see daddy's soccer game!

Friday came way too fast! We left right after lunch. I'm sure Mallory was ready to be in her own bed and back to her normal routine. We got home just in time for the second half of Brad's game. We were all super excited to see Brad!

And that wraps up our crazy 2 weeks (which has now been 2 weeks ago)! I would say this gets me caught up, but someone turned 10 months old on Sunday and has been learning quite a bit of new things. Morgan's post is coming next...followed by more playgroup fun and our adventures in Abilene! I may never get to blogging about the day to day on time ever again...
