The week leading up to Labor Day included a trip to Braves game with our friends Mike and Roberta! We had a such a good time hanging out with them while Tyler stayed with our old next door neighbors Jared, Melanie and their daughter Maddie (who Tyler absolutely adores). They had a great time playing "Simon Says" in the bath, and Maddie even demanded that Tyler sleep in her room. When we came to get him around 10:30 that night, Melanie had some fun stories to share!
Meanwhile, at Turner field, we tailgated and watched the game! As much as I don't like baseball, I love going to games! I think it has something to do with the beer and gigantic pretzels...OH and dippin dots! Who doesn't love some dippin dots?
Labor Day Weekend was relaxed and so much fun!
Friday, I was able to leave work early and Ben, Tyler and I tried a new Frozen Yogurt spot after dinner. Tyler was introduced to M&M's and I believe he's hooked.
Saturday was the long awaited start to COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! We had our new neighbors over and had a blast hanging with them.
Ben and I are so happy with our choice in home and neighborhood. We ended up hanging out til way past midnight while the kids all crashed on the couch. It was a great time!
Sunday, I went over to Roberta's for a bit and then met Ben and Tyler at the mall to ride the choo choo. We also ran into Jared and Melanie with Maddie, so Tyler and Maddie had a great time on the indoor playground!
That evening we went to the Roswell End of Summer Celebration which was pretty low key due to the nasty weather. At least Tyler got to try out a bounce house or two, have some ice cream and sit in a firetruck before we called it a night.
That Monday, we went to the aquarium since our pool plans were derailed by the weather. Tyler loved seeing the "fishies" as usual!
This past week, included a trip to Savannah for work, Tyler's first trip to the Varsity (when the plans to run my work 5K were nixed due to traffic on I-85), and a dinner party with a bunch of our new neighbors on Friday night. It was so much fun!
The Thompsons from across the street hosted an annual September "Back to School" Kid free bash, and we were excited to be invited this year!
Again, we stayed up WAY too late having fun with our new neighbors!
My parents came into town to babysit and Tyler got his usual grandparent spoiling!
Saturday, Ben went running with the guys while I took Tyler and my parents to the mall to do merry go round and choo choo time. (yes, Tyler is obsessed with the mall)
That night, I cheered my Gamecocks on to Victory while we vegged out!
Sunday, we went and got bagels and watched the 9/11 coverage. It was so surreal to think about how much our lives have changed since that terrible day 10 years ago.
I'll never forget...
The rest of Sunday was spent running errands and letting Ben inaugurate his man cave for the first Redskins game!
Hail to the Redskins!!!!
