what a weekend!
to grandma's house we go (and grandpa too!)
for the first time in his little life, elijah stayed away from me overnight! all the kids stayed with their grandparents, in fact.
mackenzie stayed with her dad's mom and the other's stayed with my parent's.
ever since the girls' dad passed away, i have tried to make sure they still have opportunities to see their grandmother marsha and spend time with her. marsha just started her own small business and makes all kinds of bath and body products as well as candles, room sprays, and reed diffusers. she had promised mackenzie that they would make some items together that she could give to her friends for christmas.
they made the cutest cupcake bath bombs.
the icing on top is bubble bath and the bottom (the cake part) is a bath bomb. how cute are these?
a great day for football
the reason the kids went to stay with their grandparents was because friends and i had tickets to the carolina panthers game.
the panthers are having a not-so-good season but we weren't going to pass up a chance to head to charlotte and catch our boys play the atlanta falcons. it was cold and at times rainy, but it was so worth it. even if they lost...AGAIN!
9th row baby!
we got the chance to meet and get autographs from steve smith and charles johnson. super nice guys!
and we met the famous catman, the panthers #1 fan.
the best part was we got to go with the greatest people, two of our best friends, rick and amanda. love these guys. you might not recognize them, but you would probably recognize their daughter gracie.
cookies and...water?
or soy milk.
we took phoenix to the dr. and he suspects she is allergic to milk. not the way you may think of being allergic to something where you break out from it. the hormones in milk affect your mood and since i have been having some trouble with phoenix's behavior, he thinks that an emotional disorder combined with an allergy to milk may be the reason for her mood swings.
he has taken her off of milk and she can only drink soy milk and can't eat anything with regular milk for two weeks. it's harder than i thought. it seems like everything has milk in it. like m&m's!
jason is out of town in alabama this week so i will be super busy every day.
wish me luck!
