Anyone who has small children knows that it takes being very intentional to get any "projects" or other things done around the house. Or at least it does for us with having two littles the same age! If Kendall is home, he is helping me take care of and play with the girls. So to carve out time for the hubby to work on anything means I either give up his help (which I'm rarely eager to do! =) or we leave town! We decided to head to Atlanta to see my whole family so Kendall could have an entire, uninterrupted weekend to work on building the girls a kitchen for Christmas. Amazing what you can get done in that amount of time! We missed him being there with us terribly, but it was a great time to see my siblings and parents and make a few memories along the way! We love our families and we love spending time with them which we count as such a blessing!
Here are my two precious girls after arriving to Atlanta! They look like little toddlers to me rather than babies! =(
On Saturday, we decided to hit the ground running! And to get this kind of crowd anywhere requires a little planning! We had the best time going to Berry Patch Farms and enjoying their pumpkin patch, hayrides, farm animals, and some homemade ice cream! Such fun to take the 3 cousins on an outing and watch them interact be in their independent worlds. =) And I do believe ALMOST everyone is looking in the right direction for this family pic!
The kiddos were so cute investigating all the mini pumkins and ghourds. If only we could have taken a few home to create a nice centerpiece, ha! The weather couldn't have been prettier and after the girls "tested" out each and every pumpkin by sitting on them, we made our way back to the hayride!
Probably the highlihgt for them was eating homemade ice cream at 10:30ish....life is good girls! Enjoy the little things that can bring so much joy!
All 3 munchkins took great naps for us and woke up just in time to watch the 2nd half of the Auburn game. We might not look good out there on the field, but we sure do have three cutie pies sportin' their Auburn gear! We're still working on their WAR EAGLE before they make their way to the loveliest village on the plains in a few weeks...
And last but not least, we couldn't miss a chance to enjoya mini ice cream cone treat from Bruster's while we were home! The girls love, love, love ice cream and usually devour the entire thing =) Just like their mommy! We headed to the park at FBC to run off some energy before heading home and had the BEST time chasing our rambunctious, lively little things all over the place! I sure was thankful for extra eyes and hands to assist in catching them flying down the slide or climbing the rock wall! Not easy to be in two places at once...
We loved our time as a family and soak up the memories we make each time we're all together in one place! Such sweet, special time that we know we are certainly not guaranteed! So we Praise God for His mercy in sustaining our lives and allowing us to experience such joy through relationships here on earth, but more than that, a relationship with Him!
