Our Weekend

So I am finally blogging about last weekend (mainly b/c I've been a little sickly this week).  Anyway, we had a full weekend of fun!  First, we went to the dean's house and hobnobbed with all of the professors from AUM's SOE (school of education).  It was interesting for me to hang out with professors that I've had during my time at AUM.  Now I was there as the wife of a fellow professor.  ha

Next up, we got to see some of my friends from AU on Saturday night.  My friend, Angie, is getting married and we were invited to their engagement shower.  To top it off, I got to see Jay's little boy, Nicholas.  He loves to take pictures with the camera and he just learned how to say "War Eagle."  He is just precious!

Finally, we made our way to the Ham for lunch with the girls.  We sprinkled LaLa with some fun baby gifts.  I had a blast picking out baby girl clothes for the twins, Addie and Emma.  Can't wait to meet those precious little angels.  Speaking of shopping...I could def do some major damage if I was having a girl.  Baby girl sections in stores are never-ending, loaded with countless cute outfits. 

Did someone say mac 'n cheese?!

Well, Bennett has definitely found the location of my bladder.  I also think he throws any and all organs off to whatever space he isn't using.  Thanks dude!  At any rate, I've been eating like a mad woman.  At first, my food intake was under control but now I just want to eat all the time.  I try to eat healthy snacks but it's becoming harder and harder...Must find some willpower!

I really haven't bought too many baby clothes yet, but I did get a good start during our tax free weekend.  I have promised myself that I will not purchase anymore clothing b/c I need to be focusing on nursery ideas.  To be honest, the thought of this overwhelms me b/c I am not a very good decorator. 

Anyroo, I have been spending most of my time working at the AUM Early Childhood Center.  It keeps me fairly busy and I occasionally get to see my hubs.  Since I am not an intern in the center anymore, I get the chance to really enjoy the children this time around.  Plus, I get to snack with them, heehee. 

Doodle Bear

Today was a big day for Dixie Doodle.  She went to the beauty parlor (aka Petco).  Since having the carpets cleaned plus the extremely hot weather, we decided to get Dixie groomed/trimmed.  Let me start off by saying that in my defense, I really had no idea what they were talking about when they were telling me the guard size of the trimmers.  My only concern was to do a good job fading at the head and tail.  Much to my surprise, this is what I picked up from the beauty parlor!!!

Yes my friends, we now have a white lab!  Even her face has been shaved!  Honestly, she doesn't look that bad once you get used to it.  Plus, they gave us a charm for her collar and a huge bag of tasty treats.  In fact, one of the treats looks just like a chocolate chip cookie (and tastes like it too--yes I nibbled it)...don't judge me!  :)
