Catch up

Whew, ok, so October hasn't turned out to be any slower than September. This past week alone, I have fallen way behind on my blogging, so I apologize to my 1 faithful reader out there (Dad). haha

Let's pick up after my last post. Last Sunday we took the kids out to Lake Wylie to help celebrate Anna Kate's 2nd birthday. You really wouldn't even know Andrew and Mary Mac were there since I didn't get any pictures of them, they were all over the place. Anna Kate has cousins that are around Andrew's age, so for once he had some "big" kids to play with. Mary McLean was of course chasing after them trying to be one of the "big" kids too. Emma enjoyed all the little babies there. She has a soft spot for babies and loves to watch them and give them gentle hugs. What a sweetie!

Emma loved the bounce house, Sloan and Evan didn't think so much of it...

Monday and Tuesday were normal activities, Andrew had Tball practice on Monday, and Mary McLean had dance, Tuesday. Marc had a dinner meeting after work Tuesday, so I had to take Andrew and Emma to dance with Mary Mac and me. Andrew was very disappointed that he didn't get to go into the class to watch. He kept himself entertained with the dance recital video that was playing in the waiting room though. I really think he is looking forward to going to the recital at the end of the year!

Wednesday, Andrew had another Tball game. Ana and Pops got to come up and watch him play, so he was very excited to see them there. Mary McLean had fun running around with her friend, Anna. They both share a love of princess and Barbie, so they have really bonded over the season.

Thursday, our neighborhood parents club had a potluck dinner at the Manor House. It was really a lot of fun to get out with our neighbors during the week and socialize. Our friends, Misty and Scott, had spent most of their day at the car dealership and still had to go back after dinner, so I let their girls come over to our house afterwards so they could get done what they needed to. Mary Mac and Mackenzie had a lot of fun together. I gave Emma and Campbell baths first and then Mary Mac and Mackenzie jumped in. After bath time, we all came downstairs and I read a couple books and they colored some pictures. Andrew had to go to bed early because he had school the next day, so I set the girls up in the playroom with "The Little Mermaid."

On Friday, we loaded up and headed down to Greenville. We dropped the kids off at Grandma and Grandpa's then, Marc, Lori, and I got a hotel room so we could be up bright and early to head off to Clemson for the game. (Only it was a little more early than it was bright). ;) We had a great time hanging out in Clemson with our friends. The game didn't turn out as well as we had hoped, but the energy was definately back in the stands, and you could tell the team was playing with some heart for once. I was very proud of my tigers on Saturday, regardless of the outcome!
