Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice...

This was a great weekend! I had the house to myself this weekend (Mom was in Texas and Ross had to work) so I decided to take full advantage of it. I got caught up on some quality time with three of the most ENTERTAINING kids in the world! Thursday night Layla, Lawson, and Cloey spent the night with me. We had so much fun! We played and played until we couldn't hold our eyes open any more!! We started the night off playing dress up. This was followed up by barbies, beauty shop, grocery store, you name it. We ended the night with a slumber party in the living room floor, only to be completed with popcorn and watching Little Mermaid! Lawson just sat back and watched us girls being so silly. I think that I might have enjoyed it more than them!! We had so much fun!! I CAN NOT wait to have little girls of my own! But of course I will be just as happy playing outside in a sandbox with little boys! Here are some pictures from our "slumber party"...

Layla has changed into Tinkerbell and now Cloey is The Little Mermaid.

Love it!!

Precious!!

The rest of the weekend was just as wonderful! I took Cloey back to her dad Friday afternoon and Layla, Lawson and I headed back to Alexandria a little later. I spent the night with Miranda and we all got to spend some "family" time on Friday night. After hanging out with the family and going to dinner Miranda and I sent Nick and the kids back home. We were feeling up for an adventure! The night ended up at Artistic Designs in Gadsden where Miranda and I got a tattoo! It's never a good thing when we go on an "adventure"! Ha. It was so much fun (and VERY interesting!). I came back home on Saturday afternoon to spend some quality time with MYSELF. It's not very often that I get to have the house to myself for the weekend so I really try to enjoy it. We had two WONDERFUL services today at church! We also met this afternoon for our Beth Moore Bible study on the book of Esther. This is the only the second time that we have met but I am loving it. I LOVE the women in this Bible study. Not only are they my sisters in Christ, but they are my friends. We have so much fun!

Ross and I worked on the house last week. We have been working on the sheet rock in our bedroom. I have a love/hate relationship with this sheet rock business! I HATE sanding it!! I had sheet rock dust in my hair, in my eyes, in my nose, between my toes, you name it. It makes such a terrible mess! Despite all of my efforts, we have tracked dust ALL through the house. Oh well. At the same time, I love that I am getting to work on MY house. I know that I will have a greater appreciation for it when we are done. We have a LONG way to go.

We have also decided to get married at our church. It is just the most logical place. It's close by, more people will be able to attend, but most importantly it is FREE! It doesn't get any better than free. As for the reception, we are still unsure. We have talked about having the swimming pool fixed at Mom's and getting her yard landscaped and having the reception there. It is also free! I need to make my mind up! What do you think?
