Fall TV is back!

We are TV show junkies I think. We are not big on movies but absolutely love tv! And we don't even have cable! 

Last fall most of our shows came on too late or right when we were getting MC ready for bed. So we got into a habit of watching them the next night on Hulu. Then in the spring we never even turned on the tv so Matt canceled our cable. Made sense although I would have loved to watch HGTV and Bravo this summer. We also love having marathons of shows that we love via Netflix. Remember Friday Night Lights?!? I also LOVE morning talk shows...but only get to watch in the summer.

These are our favorites right now...

Nashville.


Grey's Anatomy.

Parenthood.

The Good Wife.

Pretty Little Liars.

We also used to watch Revenge and Scandal. Maybe we will get back into them this season.

Craft night and a few projects!

One of my neighbors mentioned wanting to make a football door hanger for her front door, so we decided to have a craft night! The craft night ended up consisting of two parts. The first night we painted. The next night we stuffed them! I love how they turned out!

I made also made a V State hanger for our back porch. I may eventually do a burlap one.

I think I need to change my outdoor chalkboard!

I love having the Georgia football schedule right in my entryway. I just quickly wrote it up there and that is what I like about it. How it's messy and informal on a fancy chalkboard near my dining room.

Catching up!

Two weekends ago we had a cookout with our Life Group. It was a lot of fun! I love how the guys and girls always split up! The kids had fun eating dinner and watching movies in their pjs up at the church. Molly Caroline was the youngest, but seemed like such a big girl sitting at the table waiting to eat! 

Molly Caroline loves playing in the big kid "room" at church. She loves the kitchen, the mats, and the little table. 


The first half of the month is always busy with JSL meetings and stuff. We are off to a great start and I'm leading/working with a great provisional class. The color of this board room that we meet in makes me want to paint in our house!

Football season has started! We wear blue and gold on Friday and red and black on Saturday. This is our third year getting season tickets and I adore our seats on the 50 yard line!



My parents came this weekend. They kept MC on a Friday and kept me company at night since Matt was at his annual sales meeting. I was so grateful!!! We had a lot of fun!!

And all this has been happening at school. We performed nursery rhymes, sorted pictures and drew pictures on sticky notes for Living/Nonliving, we've started apples, Shapes, lots of shape snacks, letter and sight word eating crocodiles....you name it. :)

Beach trip, baby clothes, and books.

We spent part of Labor Day weekend on 30A. Matt's family goes to Destin...that's their beach. We love Destin too, but our beaches of choice are on the coast of Georgia and South Caroline. We've always loved Daufuskie Island, Isle of Palms, and St. Simons. We like St. George Island for day trips! 

Now we have a new favorite strip of beaches that we can add to the top of our list. We love Seaside, Seacrest, and Rosemary the best! We like to stop by Grayton too. :)

On our trip we ate at Red Bar and La Cocina. We shopped in Rosemary, and just hung out in Seacrest! Dave Matthews blasted from Seacrest....Matt was in heaven! We made a quick stop to Alys beach too. Saturday we took Molly Caroline to SeaGrove to have a beach day. She hated the sand! She was content to sit in her crab pool. So, it ended up being much more relaxing than Matt and I thought. We can't wait to go back next year.

I have a friend in my neighborhood that has a little girl with a M name that is about a year and a half older than MC. So I was able to buy some M clothes this week for my baby! Jessica just got an embroidery machine (a pretty good one at that) so I'm looking forward to a lot more M things in the future. :) We met while I was pregnant. Jessica taught our birthing class and also ended up being my mother baby nurse the night I was induced. She is awesome!

I ordered Molly Caroline some new books from Scholastic. We love fall around here!
And I got these two from our book fair.

I just started reading this book! Love it so far!

14 months old!



My baby is actually 15 months old today! 

She is running everywhere!

She loves to twirl! 

She was running through the house just laughing with her mouth wide open tonight! Her new favorite "song" is Humpty Dumpty. 

She understands so much! She knows exactly what we are saying half of the time. 

She's still sleeping great and eating great!

She likes to play with her shape sorter, tea set, make up, mega blocks, golf clubs, piano, stuffed animals, shoes, and books.

She loves loves loves shoes, stuffed animals, blankets, sunglasses, hats, and bracelets. 

She also loves her cup!

She loves wading through her baby pool, running on the golf course, dancing, clapping, balls, balloons, putting shoes on, driving my car before I leave for work, and loving her babies and animals. Oh and petting Blakely. 

She does not like sand, outfit changes, peas, or being set down suddenly.

She loves to read and likes baths again too! Thankfully! 

She runs to the door when she heard a key turning in it and thinks Blakely's barks are funny.

She says, hey, bye (with a very southern accent), no, uh oh, thank you, love you, Blakely, mama, daddy, yay, more, bye Blakely, there she is (when playing peek a boo) and sings what sounds like her ABC's. 

I think her favorite foods are eggs, kidney beans, black beans, chicken, hamburger, broccoli, green beans, watermelon, cherries, grapes, bananas, prunes, raisins, yogurt, goldfish, Cheerios, fruit pouches, zucchini, cheese, and ice cream. 

Molly Caroline you are our greatest gift. You make everyday do much fun! How we love you so, our precious baby girl!

Bye Bye Summer clothes! Hello Stain Remover!

I whipped this stain remover last week. 

Molly Caroline is a really neat eater but she still had a few stains on some of her nice clothes from goldfish snacks, black beans, and red fruit. It worked really well! Even got a drop of tomato sauce out of a white smock. 

Now her clothes are all stain free and ready to be put away. :( I made my save, share, and sell pile. 

She will be able to wear some next year again. The others I will pass on to my labor and delivery nurse turned friend :) for her baby girl. We share clothes. It's awesome! She returned a few of the 0-3 month outfits that her baby wore this summer in her sons bookbag at school this week. 

Now, bring on some fall weather!
