What we've been up to

3.21.2013

Hey you guys:) Long time no see! Last week my brother, sister in law, and their 4 precious kiddos came to visit. They stayed with us and it was so fun to have them here and for all the kids to be under the same roof!  Needless to say I stayed away from the computer, let my little guys skip school, and we soaked up every minute we could with our favorite cousins! How cute are they?


We tackled Adventure Science Center, Green Hills Mall, downtown Franklin, and the Zoo to name a few.  I love being a mom and an aunt, they are both such gifts!


Mr. C took some time off of work to hang with us but as you know, work follows... I had to laugh when I snapped this picture. Busy Dads!


We hit up a few favorite local eateries and shops.  Grace and I stopped into the TB store (my first time in the official store) and tried on some Carolines....oh.my.word....so comfy! I'm pretty sure I was drooling. The boutique is pretty fancy pants and I was thinking they probably weren't thrilled to see 3 kids coming in with us but let me tell you, the saleslady whipped out 3 iPads and let them sit on the couch and have a grand ole time.  That is service my friends:)

Also tried on these beauties, I don't think I can resist much longer...


We both spotted this necklace at another local boutique and had to have it -- so glad they had 2!


I picked up some Chuck Taylors for the boys at Nordstrom. I couldn't resist a pair myself:)


and my niece got some glittery Toms (as well as some cowboy boots), SO cute.  Girls are so fun to shop with, I'd forgotten what that was like!

We were pretty sad to say goodbye on Saturday.  And would you believe that a few hours after they left little C came down with the stomach bug:(  Not fun!!

And then, of course, it was my turn, another reason for my absence from the blog this week.  I have been on the couch for TWO days friends.  But I'm on the road to recovery:) Hope you've had a good week!

  8. Looooove that necklace. I just bought my second pair of (purple) converses and love them so much. How are you liking the Tom's? I was just going to get the glitter pair (silver!!) and was told that they get smelly and uncomfortable. I'll trust you!
