The last 3 days..

Ps-getti, as Anna calls it.

At the end of this road, the children are waiting for the bus. I just can't see them because of the fog!

Casey was REALLY not wanting me to take her picture. I caught her anyway- should've taken a pic of the fit she threw 5 seconds after she saw me.

Busy week around here between Emily and I getting strep throat, and school for the other girls. Luckily, we are on the mend after a few days of antibiotics!

At the Knerr House....

Sleepover activities include practicing "modeling".

13 year old girls can kick the booties of grown men in cornhole.

Chopsticks and spoons are instruments. (technically this is at the Horne house, but what's the difference, really?)

Sick days are spent watching movies on the couch. (Emily has strep throat!)

Goodnight hugs

Dirty Little Secret

Yes, Casey is still a thumb sucker. No, I am not worried about it. We have plenty of bigger issues to worry about.

Where We Spend our Afternoons

At Alabama Ballet... can you spot Emily?

Looking like Mommy?

I think she may be starting to resemble me...

Head Over Teal Weekend

Grammy is here!!

Two A-M-A-Z-I-N-G survivors.

The peanut gallery.

On your mark, get set, GO!

More dress up!

What a great weekend we had meeting Rylie Miller and her family! We had a fabulous cookout here at our house that included the Crandalls, the Millers, the Presseys, and us! (of course we had some help from friends and my parents, too- thanks for cooking, Travis!)

Casey

Casey has been refusing to let me take her picture lately- (at least close up). I was trying to get a pic of her braids, and she turned around and actually cooperated! I took advantage of the moment and snapped away! My poor toothless child... ; )

Late Afternoons

Cleaning up the mess that two 3 year old gremlins made. (Casey and Daisy)

Homework: read A LOT.

Wedding Weekend

With 3 girls in the house, many hours are spent playing "makeover" and "fashionista". This is Anna "striking a pose" after her makeover courtesy of Emily and her friend Ansley.

This weekend I was fortunate enough to join some college friends for the wedding of my college roommate- BY MYSELF!! The wedding was beautiful and held at her parents' lake house. We had just a little bit of fun. ; )

Story time at Dinner

Here Anna was telling us a funny story from school. She discovered a girl in her class used to live in Florida. Well, Anna told her we used to live there, too, so the little girl said to Anna, "I remember you from Florida!! So that's who you are!!" ; )
PS- I am working on my black and white processing- it is a lot more complicated than hitting a "convert to black and white" button.

Shower Time

The loong weekend...

Busted. Casey throwing a bean bag at Daisy's behind.

It's football season!

My thirteen year old niece winning Reserve Champion in pole race- she was nice enough to bring Emily up to accept the award!

Her amazing finish. (led to her winning Grand Champion of Youth Timed Events in entire state of Alabama!!!!)

Casey entertaining herself during Tropical Storm Lee.

The look Wrigley gives me when she wants something. (food)

First Day of Preschool

When did this:

Turn into this:

Has it really been three and a half years?? She had a great first day- all smiles even going into her class. Here she is checking out the carpool line:
