Birthday Fun

We had a fun Labour Day weekend with the added bonus of my birthday falling in the middle of it!  Beautiful roses from my hubby to start off the weekend of celebrating

We went out to Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner and topped of the evening with this delicious chocolate cake

 More flowers - this bunch from my parents.

The kids climbed into bed with me early morning and wanted me to open up presents
- love how excited they get!

 After church we went to Tupelo Honey in Chattanooga for brunch. It was wonderful.

 I didn't get pics of the food but here's a few of us while we waited on our table :)

Today we went out to Chilahowee and hiked to Benton Falls. We had the best time out there.

It was the perfect end to a beautiful, relaxing birthday weekend. Loved being with my family and I am always so thankful for another year to celebrate!

Evan Starts Parents Day Out

Evan started Parents Day Out (PDO) today!

 He asked me to take his picture at his usual picture spot on the front steps :)

I expected him to cry since this was new to him and I knew the first day would be a little rough. When I picked him up, they said he did really good. While he did cry and didn't nap well, he played really good and participated. I know it will get easier each week :)
 
And for the first time in 5yrs I had a few hours to myself. I had no idea what to do today but from next week I will be helping at school with the big kids. Jermaine says I'm crazy and I should use the time for just me. I am sure some days I will but I enjoy helping at school in the kids classes too.
