Check, Check, and Maybe NOT a Check

Backpack's packed...CHECK

Lunches almost packed...CHECK

Nap mat ready...CHECK

Raincoat handy...CHECK (it's like 70%+ chance of rain tomorrow)

Outfits laid out...CHECK

B&B's 1st project/homework complete...CHECK (just see for yourself)

Momma ready for the 1st day of MDO...NOT!

Tomorrow's the BIG day!

I know that B&B will "like" MDO and that it will be good for them, but it's still so hard to grasp that my little babies are big/old enough to start school.

And I know their teachers are going to love them and take care of them, but I still can't stop thinking about all of the what if's.

Please pray for me tomorrow...I already have butterflies in my tummy!

Sneak Peek

A little preview of B&B's first day of MDO outfit for Tuesday!

Every little "surfer/skater" boy needs these, right?!

And EVERY little princess needs these, right?!

More 1st day of MDO pictures coming...on the 1st day of school!

I just had to drive all the way to Sugarland yesterday(almost an hour away) to get Burkley's, but she's worth it!!

Texas FIGHT!

Are you ready for some football?

There's nothing like college football...especially our team!
We'll be rootin' for the Horns over here!
Hook Em'!!!
Sorry, couldn't get any smiles out of these two this morning!
Had to get going bright and early this morning...driving an hour to get you princess a pair of shoes is sooooo worth it. Stay tuned for pics!

Coloring Buddies

Since Cory wasn't really "busy" today at the funeral home, he decided to go in a little later than usual (meaning 8:30 or 9 ish).

I was doing my normal morning routine: making the bed, unloading/loading the dishwasher, washing clothes, picking up toys, getting the twins clothes for the day out...

While I was in the laundry room, I noticed it was unusually quiet.

Hmmm?

So, I walked out and looked into the kitchen and dining room and this is what I saw!

Talk about MELT my heart!

Brooks and Daddy coloring together.

Look how BIG they are getting!

Look how serious Brooks' face is!

And my tiny little lefty!

Nothing beats coloring with daddy first thing on a rainy Friday morning!

And YES, B&B are already sporting their Halloween jammies...and they are so proud of them too!

Blog With Substance

I've just been given a blog award from my childhood friend, Marissa (or Mar2D2, Ria, Rissa Rose...she will probably still answer to them all)!

Thanks girl for giving me this!

After all, I am the "one" that convinced you to begin blogging in the first place!

To accept this award, I have to...

1. Thank the person who sent it to me...CHECK!

2. Sum up my blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using 5 words...

Hmmm...I find it pretty difficult to "sum" up why I blog in only 5 words because there are so many reasons, but here's what I have come up with:

* Share

* Document

* Trust

*Miracles (2)

* "Therapy"

3. And pass it on to 5 deserving bloggers!

* Kim

* Amy

* Liz

* Kristi H.

* Paige

Thanks again Marissa for passing along this award to me! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!
