Friday Highfive

 Hellooooo, Friday!  This week was Spring Break here in Charleston.  So I'd say we deserve a big highfive for making it through some loooong days...

St. Patrick's Day Parade!

We walked as a family with the girls' school this year.  I have to say, I prefer to watch, but we still had a good time.

Another fun school event, the "Birthday Bash" carnival.  This was such a great event that I would LOVE to see become an annual thing.

Spring Breakers!

Let's see...we have done strawberry picking, Splash Pad, Outslide In..,but I think all three kids would say their highlight was THE BEACH!!

Last night I went to see a lecture given by Dr. Emily Weinstein regarding her book, "Behind Their Screens".  I have mentioned before my strong opinions surrounding children and social media so this was something I was very excited about.  The session was very informative, geared more towards the parents of teens.  But I am eager to learn as much as I can NOW to prepare.  Kind of weird taking a photo given the topic, but here ya go!

Have a great weekend!

2024 So Far...

 Other than our snow tubing trip, I haven't shared much of the haps around here over the last couple of months.  

So let's see...

To start off the New Year, the Mr. Baby had some resolutions.  First up, Get to walkin'.  So I took him up to Kassis Brothers to get fitted for his first pair of boots!  He has taken off at full speed.    My other goal, merging to one good nap, has been more difficult but we are getting there. 

--

A few things about this pic: First off, I have hardly any photos of me with all three so this is special.  Second, The S&S waiting room is probably the only place in Charleston that hasn't changed ONE BIT in the last 30 years.  And third, there is a reason we don't take the kids out to eat anymore and it's because of the aformentioned walking situation, J never stops moving!  

--

J is a mountain man!  He loved exploring the Elk River, and trying to eat all of the pebbles.

--

J is also a beach boy!  He TOOK OFF into the ocean down at Folly a couple weeks ago.  

We all loved the warm winter beach day...

Date Night!  First off, these orange silk pants were a recent thrift SCORE.  

And second, our date night plans are *gasp* starting to shift.  Since we met we've enjoyed drinks downtown followed by dinner somewhere new, and often night caps (idealy in a cigar bar).  The past few times we've been out we haven't felt the same vibe in doing those things.  Both times we each agreed we would have enjoyed Hometeam or Mexican more than the downtown scene.  Oh Lawd, we're getting old!!!!!!  I just don't have any interest in being around all the tourists or the "who's who".  Though we do want to continue or annual Holiday night on the town, we'll be sticking to neighborhood favorites from now on.

Valentine's Day!  Balloons were a fun surprise for the girls.

Spent the morning at the school class parties.  So much fun.

Basil take out for Mom and Dad:

We wrapped up cheer season last Sunday with an awesome win.  The girls had a pep rally this morning and I can't wait to hear about it.  

--

That's what's been going on.  I've also been working on Summer plans.  I've got the girls in a cheer camp and a tennis camp and we'll be joining a nearby pool that's been highly recommended.  We've also finalized our travel plans and we are going....

Back to Tybee!
