Friday Favorites

This has been a fun and eventful week. Since I plan a post about our mini trip to Palm Beach, I will attempt to narrow down just a few "Friday Favorites" for this post.


Saturday Snuggles. Saturday morning's are usually one of the few times our house is in a calm state. Kenzie doesn't last too long in that "state" so we like to get a few snuggles in before she is off and running. Saturday mornings we get her out of bed, go potty, get her dressed, and bring her in to our bed to try to convince her to snuggle with us for just a few minutes (sometimes just a few seconds). Daddy is always the #1 snuggler. I get put on the back burner for a few minutes while those two enjoy each other's company. I sometimes manage to get a second or two of snuggle time in though. It is definitely the best part of my week.


Pretty toesies! I don't get pedicures often. As a matter of a fact, my last one was right about a year ago. I couldn't resist the invite though when my friend asked if I was up for it this past weekend. Of course I was! I can't reach my feet anymore. I attempted to remove my nail polish earlier last week... but that was a fail and I ended up with a ton of left over polish on each nail because I just couldn't make it happen. I figured I should go blue for Will this time since I usually pick a bright pink if I get a pedicure in the summer. This picture was taken on the balcony of the hotel we stayed at for a night in Palm Beach.



She was not happy I made her put the Reese's cups in the
thing instead of eating them...

 Baking with this little girl. This is the first time we have tried it... and she LOVED it. She stood up on a stool and helped me stir Daddy's surprise peanut butter blondie thingy. She even ate a few of the candies that were supposed to go in it. Crazy kid.


Whatever this is. Kenzie is a bit obsessed with wearing my fuzzy socks and my shoes if she can find them. We are lucky the shoes match. The socks never do. This is typical Kenzie. Being a nutty kid and "cheesing" like crazy.

picture of us!
Making new memories. We visited Loggerhead Marinelife Center when we went to Palm Beach. Kenzie loved seeing all the turtles. More about that to come in the post about our quick night away (and a recap of Kenzie's first time staying overnight in a hotel... believe it or not.)

Welcome Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

It's almost time! School is upon us. The kids in our county return on Wednesday. Kenzie's first day of school is next Tuesday. Monday we will have Meet the Teacher during the day and then Tuesday will be her first day of VPK. More on all that in a minute... This week though officially started our return to normalcy. It's about time! Kenzie started back to dance on Monday. The fall season started and she was so excited. She was asking me all day about when it would be time to go to dance. She was just so ready to get back to it. This season/year we have elected to stay with the same teacher she had last year, Ms. Rebekah. Kenzie loved her so it seemed like a great bet when we found out that she was going to be teaching Pre-K 2. This year will be a lot like last year in that they will do ballet, tap, and tumbling but the skills we be more advanced. More "dance language" will be used (though Ms. Rebekah has always focused on giving them proper terminology anyway)...

Eight is Great!

Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...

Goodbye Preschool... Hello Elementary School!

Bear with me... this post is not only about Kenzie's final day at school but all the crazy things (they are just crazy to me because I can't believe that little 7 lbs 6 oz baby is about to be in kindergarten) leading up to it that are preparing her for being a kindergartener so it is a bit long. Aaaaannnnndddd... That's it. We have reached the end of an era for Kenzie. At least the end of a stage of sorts. We have officially left behind the preschool stage and are getting ready to embark on the "school age" section of her life. These last few weeks have been... emotional. About three weeks ago we took our happy selves over to the elementary school and attended the kindergarten orientation for our baby girl. Who isn't actually much of a "baby" anymore despite my protests. We were able to take a tour of the school and see some of the kindergarten classrooms, the specials classrooms, cafeteria, clinic, and media center. The kids were all given t...
