Lowe's ~ Build and Grow

Saturday, before Will's flag football game, Jeremy and I took
the boys to Lowe's to the Build and Grow Clinic. When we lived in
Austin, we would take Will to these and he loved it. Rhett is now
the age that Will started going so we thought it would be a good time
to introduce Rhett to building. He loves "Handy Manny" so we knew
he would get a kick out of hammering like "Handy Manny."

Will and Rhett getting their tools...Rhett said, "like Handy Manny's tools."
Too cute...Rhett wore the apron and the goggles...Will never wore them
when he was Rhett's age...He does now!

getting started on the periscope....Pirate's scope

Will is soo much older now, he can do the project
without any help...tear, tear. (but happy too...he enjoyed
reading and following the directions.)



look at Will go

and Rhett too

I thought I better help Rhett a little bit.

little worried about my fingers getting hammered

Rhett liked putting the nails in the pre-drilled holes.


Will is almost done!

adding Pirate stickers

Showing off...Rhett enjoyed the sucker too!

What a fun morning! Rhett enjoyed it just as much as
Will did when he was younger. Will enjoyed it too! Thanks
Lowe's for having the Build and Grow Clinic! If you have never been
to one, try it out! (Home Depot does clinics too.)

MOPS "Recipe" Swap

We had our MOPS "recipe" Swap Wednesday night.
Ashley was so kind to open her house up to all of us.
We all shared some of our favorite recipes and food. It was
lots of fun! Of course, we all got to chat it up while sampling
all the dishes everyone brought. All were delicious!

me and Ashley with our aprons on...we made them

getting ready to sample

laughing, chatting and eating...all things "FUN"


We had a drawing to give away an apron,
our friend Carrie won it!

We also compiled all our recipes and made a
MOPS "recipe" swap book. Lots of yummy recipes
for me to try over the holidays.

Ashley, thank you soo much for having all of us
over to your house. It was so much fun planning, creating
and making everything for this night. Can't wait for our next
Mom's Night Out!

Resting

Today is day 2 for Will to be home. He is feeling much
better but he is weak. He had a small episode this morning but
I think that was because he only ate 2 crackers yesterday and tried
to eat a powdered donut this am. He is just taking it easy and
sipping on sprite. Here is a pic of him coloring and showing off
his missing tooth (#5). Hopefully, he will get to go to school tomorrow.

Rhett decided he wanted to play with play~doh. He likes
for me to roll his doh into small balls. He lines them up and
counts each one, makes a pattern and then smooches them.
I am just hoping that Rhett does not get this stomach virus
Will has. It has been hard for me to keep him away from Will.
He just doesn't understand.


I have been getting ready for a MOPS Mom's Night Out.
Thank goodness Ashley is hosting it at her house. I do not
think anyone would want to visit the "lysol" house. She and I have
been working hard to get everything ready and I think it is. I will have
to share pics later. Hope you are having a good day! It is beautiful here today.

Will's Sick

Will is sick. He was up 3 times last night. Made it to
the bathroom 2 of the 3 times. Yea! He really wanted to
go to school today but I did not think he needed to. He
needs to rest today. Als0, the night before, Will woke me
up in the middle of the night to tell me he had a loose tooth.
Really, I told him that could have waited until the morning. Then
he explained that he thought it was a permanent tooth and he was
worried. So, we checked it out and it was a baby tooth. I did not think it
was that loose. I guess it was because he pulled his tooth at school yesterday.
So during the night the tooth fairy visited and he got sick. What a night!
Hopefully, he will feel better soon!

This is a pic from Gull Meadow Farms.

We all had a fun time in the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.

One Last Time

Well, yesterday we had one last time with the
Campbell kids. Will and Rhett had so much
fun with Ethan and Avery! They are really going
to miss their buddies. (tear, tear) Hopefully,
we will get to visit them in Colorado.






We love you Campbell Family! Be safe as you
travel to your next adventure!

You know who has been watching it 24/7?
You guessed it....Rhett Wade! He loves it!
He used some of his Halloween money from
MawMaw, Mimi and Pop to purchase it. Thanks!

and Avery got for him! He loves it too! Thank you!
