Labor Day Weekend

Hello All! Apparently I have been following the trend of everyone else which involves being Instagram crazy and not blogging at all! Oh well, here's for trying to blog again! We had a great Labor Day weekend. We kicked it off in Birmingham friday night with Jed (a.k.a. Shed), Becca, and Baby Taylor at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so yummy and so much fun! It was really late and I was exhausted getting home though. I'm so old, and I know it!

Yes, It's red velvet cheesecake!!! Yuuummmmooo!!! :)

Saturday was our lazy day. I got to craft all day! It was wonderful!!! I made a couple burlap footballs. An Alabama for Dad, and a reversible Alabama/Georgia one for us. I love it! I also decorated for fall and made some fall pillow and cushions for my front porch. We watched some Georgia football then got ready and headed over to Shannon and LeAnne's for a Labor Day cookout. It was a blast. I got to play on the swing set with my kids, then Lizzy, Rebecca, Andrea, and Jacklyn decided to be kids with me and played on the swing set and trampoline. I honestly cannot remember the last time I jumped on the trampoline before that and it was SOOO MUCH FUN!!! I'm ready to go back to Carleigh's to play!

Go Dawgs!

My porch cushions and an adorable little boy!

Monday I did the craziest, funnest, and stupidest thing I've probably ever done. I have been training to run the Color Run in Birmingham, and we went and did it! It was a blast!!! However, due to the horrible pouring down monsoon weather that day we got to run the 5K in the rain with color being thrown on us! I figured we would all have pneumonia by now, but thankfully we have survived! I can't wait until it comes back again!!! Hopefully it won't be raining next time. 

This was when we got in the park.. notice the rain... it didn't let up!

Our after colorful wonderness!

On Days Like This

What I love the most is my heated seats!!!! Thank you Lord!!! Going from 80 degrees and getting thrown right into winter this week my wardrobe was not prepared for it, but thankfully my car has been!!! So thank you Lord for that fabulous heater and those wonderful heated seats!!! In the words of Bro. Charles... "I just wanted to throw that in!" Heheheee!

And thank you for Allison who had coffee ready when I got to work this morning and my fabulous Peppermint Mocha creamer that was waiting on me to make my cup of jo just perfect!

I am loving the colder weather though! This is definitely my time of year!!! I'm way too fat for the hot summer months! It makes me want to put up a Christmas tree and we're not even done with Halloween yet! But come November 1st... its on!!!! :)
Plus I get to wear all my cute pantyhose again!!! Yes, I know being excited about pantyhose is sad, but I love them and their SOOOOO cute, and in the past years where I have been preggo and not able to wear them and had to wear knee highs all the time and feeling constantly like they were rolling down like Thelma Harper.. I'm excited to be able to wear all my hose and tights! Now if I can just get James to get all my winter clothes out of storage!!! I hope its on his To Do list tonight! :)The colder weather and holiday upon us has also put me in major crafting/sewing mode which is my complete happy place. I made some Christmas Tree Ribbon shirts for my nieces that I'm really excited about that I plan on taking them at Thanksgiving and some fabric flower rings because I had way too much scrap material strips around to not do something with them! :) Also, I made a pumpkin ribbon for me... trying to decide to put it on a shirt or purse.

So I know this wasn't even worth reading and completely random so sorry for wasting your time! But hope you all have a Terrific Thursday!
