I am in love with the following pictures:

Another summer, another Chick-Fil-A day!

We do this every year...and I'm usually dressed in cow.  Today I took a break though.

 

After lunch we were on our way to get those goldy-locks cut OFF.  She was looking rough.  I hate scraggly hair.  Ugghh.  LeLe refused to cut it off...so on to Aunt Jo's.  Things started off ok.

 Then....

 Umm, I'm not sure she likes it....

 And most hilarious of all, this is what Aunt Jo looks like on the verge of a nervous break down.

I saw her losing her cool, one degree at a time.  LOL.

This was several weeks (ok, two MONTHS ago). 

So last week when she needed a trim, I just did it myself.

LOLOLOLOL!!

Grandparent Appreciation Dinner:
Do you see all the women at this table (specifically the OLD ones)? (haha)  Debbie, at 12 o'clock.  Then clockwise (skip Casey--he doesn't babysit, but I let him eat anyway, LOL!) Aunt Jo, DiDi, MawMaw, LeLe and Brooke.

And do you see that one right there in the purple?  That's our Honey.  (Don't worry about that crazy kid in the background.  I don't know her.)

 

Every one of these women have kept my children for me when I have needed them.  They have sacrificed, bent over backwards, stressed out, probably cried, and maybe even banged their heads on a wall, all for my kids, and ultimately, me.  One round of steak and potatoes isn't but a drop in the bucket to thank you as much as you deserve.  

I know you all are so excited Daniley is FINALLY off to school!

;-)

Let's not forget our GRANDPA's either.

GPaw, PawPaw, and Maurice:

You have sacrificed too.  Grandpa's don't get the spotlight they deserve.  Each one has sacrificed just as much as the grandma's.  GPaw is there every time we need him.  Every SINGLE time, without fail!  Maurice has contributed every Wednesday for the last 5 years.  PawPaw has assisted MawMaw by giving her little breaks, taking the kids for a ride on the gator, teaching them to plant a garden, taking them to feed chickens and collect eggs.  These are admirable grandfathers we have in our lives.  I know you do it because you love the kids just as much as the Grandmothers.

Thank you all.  You deserve more than I can give.

MCWANE SCIENCE CENTER.
MawMaw treated all three of us girls to the McWane Center a few Fridays back.  She wanted to do something special for Daniley before she started school.  Daniley LOVES the McWane Center, so that's what we picked.  MawMaw had never been either, so it was a treat for her as well.  She loves my babies absolutely to death.  Here are a few fun pictures from the day.
