The HIGH

School has started and so has field trips of all sorts. Every Thursday in September, the HIGH museum offered free toddler Thursdays. I wasn't sure how great the experience was going to be for my two young ones, but it was better than I thought. They had several custom activities throughout the day for the kids. We first explored the hands on area and then listened to a storyteller.

After exploring the exhibits and trying to stay calm and quiet, they got to do some blue collages. I was pleased with their work. Great job guys!

And not to forget.. we had a blast with our friends, The Cookseys. Here's some of the gang looking over art books.

Girltime

This weekend my neighbors surprised me with a shower for Rebekah. We had a great time celebrating her soon to be arrival. Thank you Bowers!

I also decided that it was time for Rachel and I to go on a mother-daughter date. This past summer she got her fingernails painted by her Nanna and absolutely loved it. Since I was selfishly wanting a pedicure, I decided we could go together. She enjoyed it and got to wear a special princess crown when we were there.

Such a sweet little girl! I can't believe we will have TWO of them soon!

Trip to Rock Hill

This August before I got too pregnant to travel some more, we went to visit Jason's family in Rock Hill. Russell made it back from Sicily and is now settled in at his new home. So nice to have him closer! Italy was fun but very far. During our stay we hung out at home and also explored Charlotte's Discovery Center. I used to go there when I was a kid, but it pretty much is brand new since I used to go. Either way, it was a fun and educational activity for the kids.
