HUMP DAY BUMPS

So this is how my day goes...
1)Realized I hadn't made girls lunches when I was putting bags in car...needed to leave in 6 min...lunches made in record 3 min
2)Get to girls school test through 3 pens to finally find one that works to fill out picture order form
3)While filling out form car has a thunderstorm under hood...panic a little
4)Nice man looks under the hood and tells me it sounded like my compressor hose...whatever that is...panic more...call Mark...verdict turn off AC and I'll be fine
5)After teaching my class I need my ACU ID but can't find wallet. Drive home to double check (not there), go back to work, it's under desk. 30 minutes of PRECIOUS grade time wasted.
6)Have I mentioned I have 700 or so pages of case studies to grade??
5)Happy happy girls when I pick them up, but Hope poops right before we get in car. I change her in parking lot. Hot and smelly. Ewe.
6)Still happy girls all the way home..they liked the windows down...whew!!
7)I'm actually hoping a cold front comes, because my big pregnant bootie can't take no AC.
8)Did I also mention Mark's out of town and I'm beyond tired and nauseated in the evenings?

Jealous??!!

It could be worse. Much worse. So, for now we just roll with the punches of life and thank God it's not much worse. Laughing helps too!

Sister Bond and Sass

These sweet little turkey angels bond more and more everyday. They definitely have the love hate thing down. It's really incredible to watch them love on each other. H is all about teaching Hope new words and how to "do stuff". Hope wants nothing more than to do exactly what H is going or grab what she's doing and run away giggling.

Last night it went something like this...
Hope "wah, cry, wah, cry"
Mom "Haelyn Avery quit bugging your sister."
H "Mooooooommmmm, be serious."

PUMPKIN PATCH TIMES

We seriously have the best friends and small group ever. We love each other like family. 

Sometimes I can't imagine what we did before "the group" was formed. 

HALLOWEEN FUN

Halloween was celebrated with a cute costume parade at the girls school, and dinner at the Grant's before hitting the trick or treat scene. We had a great time visiting, taking pictures and watching our very slow girls trick or treat. We didn't encourage them to hurry too much...it limited the candy supply. :)

SICK IN THE LUNG...

It seems like life gets crazy when I go back to work after breaks. This last summer was a long long break since I didn't teach summer school like normal. I also, conveniently, got Pneumonia the second week of classes and haven't really felt like "caught up" since. I mean the head is above the water, but no neck or shoulders. I was super super sick for a week straight with high fever. I've NEVER been that sick in my life. After that week I had a horrible cough, would randomly run fever at the same time everyday for about 2 weeks, and lost 10 pounds. Mark finally made me go to the doctor. I reluctantly went and left the office with orders to do blood work and a chest x-ray. I just KNEW all would be fine. Well, it was but I also had Pneumonia in my left lung. Soooooo...that explained the cough, the fever, and the hard time taking a deep breath and talking. Keep in mind I just kept going and going and going as if all was fine after the week of fever. What in the world? That's crazy. People who have Pneumonia go to the hospital right? This is what I did with Pneumonia...

Played with this cutie pie when she was under the weather.

Gave babies baths.

Made sure little girls had pony tails and juice.

Took silly pictures.

Went to a Crossfit competition.

Made "snackies".

Went to a wedding in Midland.

Books and bed.

Hung out with my Frieda's.

Went to the Orthodontist.

WHAT A DUMMY!!!!

Good grief fellow stubborn people...listen to your bodies and just go to the doctor. I am very thankful my diligent hubby made me go to the doctor. I mean who wants to pay a hospital bill when you could just pay for an office visit and meds? Duh, not this DUMMY!

HOMECOMING CARNIVAL

This is one of my favorite things ACU does during Homecoming weekend. I love seeing old friends and meeting their kiddos.  I mean after all that's what "HOMECOMING" is for, right??!! 

This is the perfect place for this to happen. I'm impressed year after year. I didn't get pics of the fireworks, but they were amazing and the girls LOVED them!

She loves "her H". We had to sit in this section at the ACU football game!
