Weekend at Marmie's {and PapPap's}

 

 

The girls and I were so excited to head to MarMar and PapPap's house for the weekend, especially because we would be meeting up with Leah & Win and Bubba & Mickey there!  Since Sam was working for the entire weekend, we packed up as soon as I got off work and hit the road.  Thankfully the Lake House is only 3.5 hours away, because I'm not sure Willa would have made it if we were driving the 8 hours to Alabama.  Harper asked if she could have some chocolate milk that I packed, and I told her that she could after she went to sleep, so to go ahead and take a nap.  Ten seconds later, this was her in the back seat.  It was amazing.  Hilarious how it is total role reversal in the car-- Harper is easy breezy, and Wills is a terrorist.  Exhibit A:

 

When we talked earlier in the week, we all decided that taking the kids to a pumpkin patch for the day would be fun on Saturday.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't get the memo.  It rained and was chilly, so a day at the farm got called off.  Mom said since it was going to be yucky, she'd just keep the kids with Bubba and Leah and I could head to the outlets.  Sans kiddos.  What?!  Yes, please!  It was so nice to get to walk around by ourselves, and every time we would hear a child screaming, we said another little thank you to the grandparents.  Though we shopped without them, everything we bought was for the kids. I mean, who doesn't go to the outlets, and only come back with a zillion bags from Stride Rite and Old Navy?  This is 30.  

Cheesin' at the Outlets

Since Win would be turning three on the 19th (we were there the weekend of the 11-12th), we celebrated his birthday together on Saturday evening with a little Barnyard themed soiree.  How cute are these cupcakes we made (and by we, I mean Leah.  The only thing I contributed was laughing at the sheep that looked like a turkey.)?  Mom even had a little game of pin the sheep on the barn, or something like that.  

 

 

Even Bubba played!

They all looked so cute playing with his toys afterward in their new Halloween jammies.  There were some leftover sparklers from our time at the lake over Independence Day weekend, so all three brave pyromaniacs had fun out on the porch waving their own sparklers.  

 

 

 

  

It was so nice getting to see everyone and let the kiddos play together... hurry up, Thanksgiving!
