Week #44 {2015}

Sunday morning Snapchatting session and this pic of Payton CRACKED me up.

The other day my friend had a great polish on. She texted me a pic of the bottle and the color (Steel Gray). After searching for it at Target and Walmart with no luck, I went online and found that it was discontinued {boo!}. BUT I did find a bottle of it on eBay! So I had to wait a few days, but got myself a bottle. Yippee!

Payton's desk needed to be redone...again. Click {here} to see it originally. It had a bunch of crayon, marker, pen, and pencil marks all over it {naturally, of course!}. And it didn't really go with her room anymore. Chris had an idea and ran with it....2 days later he was done.

He did SUCH a great job!

This nightstand {that Sasha gave to Payton} was his inspiration.

I wanted something sweet so P, Ry and I made some Rocky Road Brownies. {Well I made them, they ate marshmallows.}

While we were working on Rylan's "homeschool", he said "Momma, I'm gonna write a P." I looked over and sure enough he was writing a P 

My mom2mom group had a girls night out. One of the girls planned a progressive dinner in Dowtown Franklin. We had appetizers at Gray's on Main, entries at 55 South, and the coffee/dessert at Frothy Monkey. It was a blast.

Tuesday and little man is STILL not feeling well...poor guy! So we stayed home from mom2mom.

The second that Dylan gets home from school, these two sword fight and wrestle for an hour straight. I don't know which one looks forward to it more.

Lately this is what Rylan does when I ask him to smile. He's got "baby Ryan" in the stroller. He got her from the dog store and he and Payton take care of her together because they are fam-a-lee.

Wednesday Rylan helped me fold the rags and when I walked back in he had made towers (from Jenga pieces) in front of each one.

Then he lived up to his pajamas and monkeyed around for a bit.

We {Chris, Ry and I} went on a lunch date to Delta Bound. People have been raving about it and it TOTALLY lives up to its hype. I'm still dreaming about the Down & Dirty Brisket Taco.

{Clockwise: Red Beans & Rice, Down & Dirty Brisket Street Taco, Southern Fried Chicken Street Taco}

Chris used his birthday money and bought us a coffee bar. First drink he made? A Butterscotch Macchiado. It was perfect.

Thursday. Gas prices have been so low that I'm not really surprised by it anymore. But today I realized that this was the price of gas when I first got my license...TWENTY years ago!

Payton's school had a fun run

{the same day as crazy hair day} and she ran 45 laps!

She ran her little heart out the entire time. I'm so proud of this girl!

I think I'm really going to like Chris' birthday gift!

Life's rough driving your brother to TKD practice.

Fall sure is pretty here. The colors are stunning and it amazes me to see different colors inside the tree vs the outside and then different colors from top to bottom. God is amazing!

Friday I made lasagna for {I think} the 2nd or 3rd time in my life. Chris said it was his favorite meal I've ever made. {Yay!}

Saturday was Halloween. You can read about it {here}!
