Finger Paint

Chatham is SO excited that his Godmother Ali is coming to visit!! We decided to do some finger painting for her.
We covered the kitchen table and get down to business.

Chatham made a soccer field (pictured below, in case you couldn't tell)

Mommy's picture was a big less abstract and we made hand and foot prints!

Another trip to Nevin Park

We have definitely enjoyed the splash park a lot this summer.
We went back again the first weekend of August with the Cadwallader's, I am REALLY going to miss having my Friday's off and getting to spend so much time with our friends!!

The kiddos definitely enjoyed running through the water more this year- and I hope we can go back next year and watch them change!

Chatham took a quick break to show Aunt Suzy some love!

Randomness of August

We have learned that a BIG ball and a hammer are just as good as a baseball and bat.
We had a GREAT day in Statesville having frozen yogurt and painting ceramics with Cora and Mrs. Betsy (who Chatham affectionately calls Ms. Speckle)

The boys had a fun day at home (and chic-fila) while I had a girls night out for Karrie's Bachelorette Party- the wedding was last night and unfortunately I didn't take ONE PICTURE!

With all the purchases being made for Harper- we didn't want Chatham to feel left out, so Gram brought over a big treat! Devin and Chatham spent an evening putting together the new table and chairs set for the play room!

August is off to a GREAT start!!!!

Slacker Blogger- but 16 weeks!

Best Moment this week: Starting to feel little flutters and ordering things with her monogram!!!

Shake It Up!

Last week was VBS at First United Methodist Church- We did Shake It Up Cafe this year and I helped with the 2-4 year olds. I think they had a lot of fun.

Our attempt at a group shot- sadly this was the ONE day Chatham forgot to bring his pack-pack was picture day- and his pack pack was wear I kept his shirt all week.

Cara was all smiles going in to sing songs and watch Scrapes (the racoon).
