Our fun day with KA...

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Yesterday we went to Cville to pick up our niece and hang out with her for the day! We had such a great time! We went to a bounce place near our house called Jumptoons and spent about an hour or so there before heading to our house to make dinner. When we got to the house we made pizza together...it was SOO good! Katie Anne did a great job putting all the toppings on! After dinner, we watched Kung Fu Panda...we had intended on watching "Up" but it wasn't in...so Greg brought home Kung Fu Panda instead. She stayed pretty interested and once she started to show signs of being bored, we paused the movie and went to make bear cookies (which didn't turn out looking too much like bears lol...they REALLY flattened out int he oven)! She loved decorating them and then of course the best part...getting to eat them! We finished up the movie and then it was time for a bath! After a bath time we got her all ready for bed and then took her back home! We had such a fun time with her and loved singing songs ALLLL the way back to her house =)

Thank you Katie and Saunders for letting us take her for the evening =)

***A funny side story...on our way to Jumptoons Katie Anne was being so silly and growling and squealing and making all kinds of funny noises and saying she was different animals and then would bust out into hysterical laughing...so Greg said, "You are a nut kid!" and KA laughed so hard and said, "No I not a nut! I Katie Anne Joooones!!" we laughed SOO hard!! It was HILARIOUS the way she said it!

A pictureless post...

Just an update since I do not post as much as I was over the summer...

School started back a couple of weeks ago and the schedule has gone back to being on overload mode:

M- work 8-1 class 2-3:15 babysit 6:30-9:30...home by 10pm
T- work 8-1, class 2-3:15, 3:30-5:30, 6:30-7:45, 8-10...home by 10:15pm-ish
W- work 8-1, class 2-3:15...HOME before 5!!!
TH- work 8-1, class 2-3:15, 6:30-7:45...home by 8pm
F- class 8-10:45, work 11:30-5pm...home by 5:45

(luckily my field experience won't start for another 2 weeks)

Then of course add making dinner, doing laundry, keeping the house cleaned, homework, and trying my best to be a good wife to the list...that makes for a very busy week!

And that's just the weekly schedule...we are not busy or out of town 1 weekend in September and 2 (maybe 1) in October...so this is certainly a busy couple of months!

On top of the craziness of my weeks... I've been sick for the past week now and it totally sucks! I have had an upper respiratory infection since Tues. and it's not going away...boo! So today I took the day off and slept...A LOT and I feel so rested...it's nice =)

Other than keeping up with school and getting a new car, there's nothing much that's new going on at the Glawson residence...just trying to make it through the semester healthy and sane! I sign up for my field experience school tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed that one of the 3 I want! N-weds also started back up yesterday and we are SO glad!! We've really missed it over the summer and were glad to see everyone again...and of course to be there when Jeremy and Joy announced they are pregnant to everyone! We've known for a little while but I was still overjoyed to hear the announcement again!! They are going to be incredible parents and I am so glad that we are such good friends and will get to see them and the baby a ton! Ahh...the beauty of being the youngest of our siblings and all of our friends...we'll have a TON of practice between all the kids I nanny, our nieces and nephew, and all of our friends' kids by the time we start having kids!! Well...I'm sure I've bored you enough with this pointless post so I am off to bed!

Greg's New Ride...

If you read my previous post then you know that we just got a new car yesterday! We were having a ton of trouble with the Escape and were putting so much money into it to fix it (which was completely pointless because Greg has never really like the Escape) so we decided last weekend that we were for sure done with it and ready for something new. After searching for the perfect car for us we finally found it! Greg loves it so I am happy! He says that it is the perfect fit for him because it is a sports car feel that can hold a car seat or two...and of course, I'm happy with that too =) I'm also happy because financially, it is better than the Escape! Here are several pictures of our new car (the windows will be tinted...it's his Christmas present...yes, he knows lol).

BMW 328i

It can drive as a manual OR an automatic...which is sweet because I can't drive a manual

Where the baby will go...a long, long time from now haha

This means nothing to me...but Greg took it so I guess that means he wants me to post it lol

Pictures to come...

But we got a new car! YAY!!! It was already dark when we got home so I will post pics in the morning! It's been one heck of a week for Greg so I am ecstatic that he is so happy with our new purchase =)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Sunday afternoon me, Greg, Katie, and Saunders were invited to go to a Braves game with Carlton and Trisha. I had NEVER been to a Braves game before (yes I know...shocker) and it was very exciting seeing what all the hype was about! We had a great time together and enjoyed the company and the game!! It was an exciting game AND the Braves won...so what a great one to see! It was a fun afternoon out; thanks for inviting us C&T!!!

Noccalula Falls Park...

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Yesterday we went with the Glawson/Jones gang to Alabama for a family picnic in Noccalula Falls Park. Cindy and Thomas rented a 15 passenger van so that we could all ride together. The actual waterfall was very weak because of the lack of rain, and supposedly this is "off season" and it's better to go in the Spring. However, the park was fantastic and we had a wonderful time walking around looking at all of the animals, riding the train that went though the park, and all playing on the playground. Our picnic was delicious (BBQ sandwiches, cowboy caviar, chips, pasta salad, fruit and veggies, and a blueberry crisp (made by yours truly) for dessert)! We had such a great time and Katie Anne was such fun and is at such a fun age to do these kinds of things with, I think she really enjoyed it. We were so surprised that she didn't completely pass out on the way home, but instead she managed to stay awake the whole way back and entertained us all! We had a great day, enjoy the pictures!
