Life Lately

Let's hear for the World Series champions, the Atlanta Braves. I am so happy and tired from all these late nights. I have fallen asleep before the end of the game for most of them, but last night I had to stay the course since they could pull it off. It was so worth it. Yes, I have always loved the Braves and baseball.

I had to get that off my chest before I can even begin to apologize for being such a lousy blogger AND blogger friend. I am falling into a routine with Palmer. He is such a good baby, but the illnesses kept going through the family. I think we are past that so hopefully Tucker is back in his little daycare much more permanently now. He does love it. He greets me with a big hug morning and afternoon but makes no fuss about not getting to come with Palmer and me. That makes for a much more relaxed mommy.

We managed a VERY QUICK trip to Auburn this past weekend as in leaving after work Friday and not getting there to about 8:30 and then coming home Sunday morning. It was quick but fun. I think Jeff was tired when he got home, but we had a very nice time with friends and even went to the game. First time since before all the C stuff. I felt comfortable going since we got to go in a seat from an old banker connection. Our very good friend was the president of said bank and the owner of the privately owned bank (a dinosaur of an idea these days) is an Auburn guy and has very NICE seats. They are on the top row of the bottom half of the stadium so no one is behind you and on the end seats so you are not sandwiched up in a lot of people. It is a generally older calmer crowd there so I felt safe that we could go.

Jeff took this picture before the game. That is my only picture. I just kind of absorbed how good it felt to be there.

We enjoyed the game and our really good friends went up with us and stayed our home. It was nice to get away with them. Even though we are in the same town and good friends our lives have been so busy lately that we thoroughly enjoyed our time away. Our other friends who now live in Huntsville but have a place in the same neighborhood as ours in Auburn had a big meal for us before the game which was a night game, so Saturday was packed with good friend fellowship. I really enjoyed and I think we all did.

We went out to Lindsay's Sunday evening to hand out candy at her door. She has a sidewalk neighborhood and gets trick-or-treaters, so while they took Tucker out we passed out candy. We never get any one so I have to tell you I quit buying candy last year. No use to buy that temptation to sit around and make me eat it. Tucker really got the idea this year. He loved every minute of his stroll down the street. He said trick or treat and thank you and was so excited to see the candy go in his bucket. He wanted to go again the next night. He wasn't afraid of anything he saw. He seemed to really get that it was all dress up and pretend. 

He went as Marshall from Paw Patrol that evening. I shared a photo from when he go the costume.

Palmer was a skeleton and just not feeling it at this moment.

For church that morning, he wore his spacesuit again which will honestly probably get one more year out of it. I know I am a Mimi, but goodness those boys are adorable. Palmer just wore a cute little onesie with a dog and a pumpkin on it.

That is Tucker on the back row right in the center.

I thought this one was cute. Lindsay said the flash is what got Palmer's attention.

And here he is in all his cuteness.

That is about all that is going on with me other than just the usual. I am trying to not wear myself out each day. Doing pretty good on that front. I have been ordering my groceries and picking up so I had to do a better job of meal planning. That has worked well. We are also hosting Thanksgiving this year so I am trying to do a little buying for that each week to be prepared on that front. 

I will share some stitching again soon.

I am trying to get some time to read my blogs and keep up in the evenings. I just can't get to anything in the morning at all, so I may be sporadic for a while longer but I can truthfully say I am missing my blogs.
