Happy Birthday Daddy and a crazy new week

Monday we celebrated Justin's 33rd birthday!  Man, he is getting old! :)  We started our celebration at the beach when we made him some homemade cupcakes.  Well actually MaMa baked the cupcakes while Katie & I sat on the beach and Emma & Evan napped.  Then, once they got up...they helped ice the cupcakes and decorate them with sprinkles.  They had so much fun and they picked out which one they wanted Daddy to have.  So, we put candles on that one and waited until after supper to eat their special treat!  Then, Monday night after work we took him out for supper to O'Charleys....one of Justin's favorite restaurants.  We gave him our gift which was a new Clemson jacket.  He loved it because 1)he loves anything Clemson and 2)He needed a new rain jacket! Here are the couple pictures I took while celebrating at the beach!

                

             

                 

               

I think they may have sampled the icing!!

Anyway...we had fun celebrating one great Daddy & husband!  As for our exciting week...Emma & Evan started Building Blocks this week!  It went much better than I was expecting.  Even Amy has said several times how well they are doing.  They haven't cried yet when we left them and they both come home talking about their day!  I was worried about nap time but they have adjusted well to that.  Evan still wakes up wanting someone to hold him but that is just what my snuggle bug is use to doing!  But since they are eating lunch MUCH earlier and are taking naps MUCH earlier...they are starving by suppertime and are exhausted by 9:00.  It isn't hard to get them into bed anymore.  Now getting up in the mornings is a different story!  But overall...it has gone good!  We have some fun times planned for the next few months!  We are planning a trip to the state fair, hopefully a trip back to the pumpkin patch and maybe another apple picking trip!  Then, we have several birthday parties...one of which is Emma & Evan's... and the planning for that is almost completed!  Yay for this momma!!  Can't forget Halloween since our cowboy and cowgirl's costumes are all ready and our trip to the Polar Express.  New pj's and tickets have been ordered.  I tell ya...I have been busy.  I have even started working on my Christmas list!  But for now my hubby is home from his softball game and 5:30 comes early...so it's bedtime for this momma!
