Staying busy

Alli, Ryan, & Indira have been keeping me pretty busy.

Here is what my typical day is like:

• Wake up @ 7 and leave (usually still in my pjs) to go pick up Alli and Ryan
• Come back to Kim's and let them watch Dora/Spongebob or play with LK (Kim is keeping LK this summer) while I get dressed and eat breakfast.
• Feed the kid's a snack
• Leave for the daily activities (usually involves parks, picnics, movies, library, etc.)
• Usually go by Sonic during happy hour for some slushes
• Head to take them home around 2:30 or 3
• Once I have dropped Alli and Ryan off @ home, I head downtown to babysit Indira. I get there between 3:30 and 4.
• Indira is usually waking up from her nap when I get there.
• We have a snack and go for a walk around Highland.
• If it is too hot, we play in her playroom with weebles and lots and lots of books!!
• Around 5:30, Indira gets a bath and gets dinner around 6.
• After dinner, we read books, listen to kid's music, rock on the front porch, or color until 7 o'clock rolls around and it is time for me to make the 30-40 min drive back to Helena (depending on traffic).
• Usually I get home, eat dinner, shower, and get in bed. haha...I am exhausted after a long day of entertaining kids.

Here are some pics from last week's adventures

Pool Day with my nieces and nephews

Oak Mountain State Park

This past weekend was kind of busy!!

Friday I babysat late, until around 8:00, and then headed back to Helena for girl's night with Heather. I picked her up and we ate San Antonio's. We stopped by my house to pick me up some stuff to spend the night with her and then we headed to her house. We watched reruns of the Bachelorette and had lots of fun just hanging out.

**She has a sleep number bed and it is AMAZING!!

Saturday we slept in a little and decided to go to the pool for a couple of hours before we had to road trip it to Weogufka for Wes and Loren's wedding. It was super hot outside and we got lots of sun.

Woegufka is a very small town near Sylacauga. We made the nearly 2 hour drive and was seconds from being late. It was a nice, small wedding and then we headed back to Birmingham. We all hung out Saturday night and I really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with Heather!! (She was my roommate in college)

Sunday was a nice, relaxing day. I slept in late and stayed in comfy clothes all day!!

Until next time, have a great week! Happy Monday!

Me with Alli and Ryan's baby brother, Charles. He stays home with his mommy, but I did get to stay with him for a couple of hours on Friday. He is soo tiny and so sweet!!!

Sunday Fun Day

1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....?

I don't usually buy really expensive items. I am sure the most expensive item that I have is probably something I bought for cheap @ a consignment store but was originally really expensive. I don't like spending more than 20-30 dollars on a single piece of clothing. Shoes are a little different, but again I am not one to go drop $100 on a pair of shoes. I will look on Ebay first if there is something I really want.

2. Have you ever played a team sport?

I played on 2 different flag football teams while I was in Tuscaloosa...a coed team and an all girls team. Not to burst my own bubble, but both teams were pretty good. I also played on an indoor soccer team. I loved playing flag football!!

3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be?

I would definitely be a butterfly. I love the butterfly exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo.

4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned?

My nose and my shoulders.

5. Are you happy?

My life is definitely not perfect...I am working on that, but I am very happy.

Great family and wonderful friends! I would be happier if I could find a job.

6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them?

I abbreviate a lot of things myself, but I am not a fan of verbally saying OMG although I use it in texts.

7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?

I love Alabama, but wouldn't be opposed to living somewhere else for a short period of time. My family is here so this is where I want to end up.

8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full?

I could use some help in this area...I am a fast eater so I usually don't realize how full I am until 1o minutes after I finish eating. I will sometimes try to drink a glass of water before I eat.

I love the brand OP @ Wal Mart.

Here are a few purchases I made today...both OP

I bought a few other items, but didn't get pictures.

I am obsessed with Rompers.

Last night, I went to a wedding @ Matthew's Manor in Springville... it was absolutely gorgeous!

Me and Heather before the wedding.

I love driving around and seeing big houses in the Birmingham area. This first one is my absolutely favorite...I am going to live there one day. Even if it is just for one day. haha

This is the view from my favorite area to drive around. Isn't it gorgeous...overlooking downtown Birmingham.

This is another gorgeous house that I saw while driving around, but it's not really my style.

I just finished watching Miss USA...I will definitely blog about that tomorrow. Stay tuned.
