Mini Moments

Jared was gone on his annual hunting trip a couple of weeks ago, so we were in survival mode. Fortunately, our awesome babysitter came in the afternoons until around bedtime on the week days, so things went pretty smoothly!

The big kids spent a few days at the beach with Papaw and Mamaw and had a BLAST!

So it was just the littles at home with me, which was weird! I kept calling them both Arabelle and Bo....I went back in time. 

Mae is ALWAYS up for a trip to the 'new place'. 

Mae loved playing in the dirt and throwing stuff in the pond. Here's a video. 

Ice cream in my bed at 10:00 in the morning....sure! :)

Zeke was really excited for the Bulldogs win against South Carolia that weekend. Here's a video of him squealing a lot. 
It was really nice to have some one on one time with Mae while Zeke napped.

And she helped me make Arabelle's rainbow birthday cake. ha!

We collected some leaves and made "leaf monsters" on the first day of Fall. 

And took some bike/stroller rides in the mornings.

We even did school outside one morning while Zeke napped.

Mae went with me to the new house every evening while the other kids wanted to stay home with our baby sitter. 

It got just a *little* cool on the evening Jared came home and the kids said they were FREEZING, so they put on hats and jackets to wait on the porch for him.

And of course, they made welcome home signs!

Glad we survived another hunting trip! :)
