Emme Ties Her Shoes

There is enough stuff I want to talk about that I really did have high hopes this week in posting a new blog everyday. Well, that didn't happen, so I will choose a few things I want to talk about.

Emme is at the stage where she really likes to put on her shoes by herself. Often times, she even wants to sleep with them on. This morning she wouldn't let me tie her tennis shoes, she wanted to do it. As I was trying to get everything in my car for the day, I looked back because Emme said that she was "ready." Emme had taken the end of the shoe lases (where the hard plastic wrap is) and pushed them through the top holes (the holes closest to her toes), she had crossed them and then placed them in the holes. They looked like two perfect round ties. It was so funny and I was surely impressed with my two year old this morning. I will try to get some pics of this talent real soon!

Last weekend was filled with so much fun. Saturday night we went to Landrie's birthday party at the pumpkin patch (me and Emme waiting in line for the hay ride is above). Jenn and Jenni know each other and the Burnfields were going to be in town, so I asked Jenn if it was ok to invite Jenni, Brad, Spencer and Carlee Jo. She was nice enough to say yes and feed them pizza. The funniest part is when we showed up at the party, I saw Kara's sister and her son there, and I was like I didn't know yall were going to be here too! We all just kinda invited our siblings, it was so funny. We all know each other, so it is fine, and that tells you what a great group we have!

After the party, the kids (meaning the adults who have kids, but still have parents) went to JR's for dinner... it was so nice and we took our time! The "kids" were Sara, Joe, Jenni, Brad, Steve and Meredith.

WEIGH IN

Today was weigh in day! I lost 3 pounds!! I am going to great lengths for these weigh in's. This morning before I left for work, I got on the scale with my pants and without my pants, and it was a 1 pound difference. SO, Lakeysha and I went to weigh in, I told her that I was going to take my pants off when we got to Tanya's office. So, we got to Tanya's office and she was on the phone. So, I quickly shut the door, and dropped my pants.... sure enough Tanya turned around and screamed!! I quickly put my pants back on and apologized, but did say that it had to be done. I will probably have to add this to one of those things "Sara shouldn't have done at work," lists... along with too many glasses of wine at work functions!

Enough said for today.
