Busy, Busy, Busy Time of Year!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted a post but this is very busy time of year with school starting back, gymnastics, birthday parties, homework, etc....
The girls have really enjoyed school so far this school year. They are waking up every morning by an alarm clock and getting themselves ready so all I have to do is their and hair and pack snack and lunch bags.  Mallie goes to gymnastics every Monday  from 5:05 to 6:20 and she is in the Busy Bee class.  Abby has gymnastics every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45 to 5:45 she is on the competitive team in Level 2 --- her first gym meet is in September in Savannah.  Last weekend, we went to two birthday parties and this weekend we celebrated Brian's 40th birthday at Coleman's Lake.  It has been a great start to a new School Year, but Kaden Bug really misses his sisters while they are at school. 

The girls had to have a feather lock in their hair --it was the going thing at school.

The girls painting at Mary Dalton's Art Birthday Party.  It was a very cute party (MD's mother has the best birthday party ideas).  The party's theme was an owl and all the guest got to paint an owl on a canvas.  Michelle Rabun from Mbellish It was the artist teaching the children how to paint their own unique owls. 

The girls canvas paintings!  So cute!

Hilton Head Island --- A fun trip to the Beach before school starts.


We decide to spend our last weekend before school  at Hilton Head. The kids were so excited about going to the beach.  We left Friday around noon and came home Sunday night.  We missed open house at school Friday night but that was ok with everyone.  We had a great weekend laying on the beach, swimming, shopping, and going out for eat.  We ate at our three favorite place at HHI --- The Crazy Crab, Outback,  Streamers.  It was a great weekend --- A great ending to a Great Summer!


Our View  --- a great relaxing place!

Last full week of Summer Break before School!

We did not have much planed for the last full week before school.  The girls attended Bible School at the Wadely UMC Sunday- Wednesday, made pottery (they got these kits for Christmas and I have put this project off), the girls had a friend (Maggie) spend the night one night, the kids got haircuts and we registered for Gymnastics for the year.
