The past two weeks have been busy! We've been having fun and trying to make the most of the last bit of summer we have. Two weeks from yesterday, Hudson will start Kindergarten! His last day of preschool is tomorrow...I cannot believe it. But, I think he is ready and he has started to act really excited when we talk about Kindergarten and doesn't seem the least bit sad about tomorrow being his last day with his current friends. Maybe he doesn't really understand what's really happening?!?!?
I took the boys to see Planes 2. It was Harrison's first movie experience and he LOVED it. Every time the previews come on TV now, he talks about how we saw it at the movie "theodore". He sat through the whole thing. I was so shocked. We all loved the movie though. I highly recommend going to see it!
We went up to Mentone for the weekend too. Of all the pretty weekends we have had this summer, this was not one of them. It rained a lot, but it wasn't hard rain, just that annoying misty stuff. It didn't hinder our fun though. They were having a big art show in Mentone and were having a fundraiser for the Humane Society and did a pet parade. It was quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever been to. "Pets" in Mentone take on a whole new meaning. It wasn't just your dog and cats...it was horses, chickens, goats, llamas...crazy stuff. The boys were in heaven!
Hudson walked with Big Daddy for the parade and was so proud!
Harrison went with Big Mama! Joel and I just watched and laughed.
The dogs got ribbons (which my boys wore ALL weekend and to school the next week), and Phoebe won the prize for "Best in Black" and Franny won the prize for "the smallest head". So, so funny.
My parents bought the boys a fun new riding toy! I should also mention that it was COLD up there! I had to go buy pants and jackets for them to wear for the night concert events.
Hudson received putting lessons from my dad. I don't think my dad anticipated having to stand there for AN HOUR teaching him. He was obsessed with it. I guess maybe we need to get this boy in some golf lessons!
This past weekend, I got to go on a girls trip to the beach! The girls from Sunday school with kids going into kindergarten decided it would be fun to go commiserate together for the weekend. It was SO fun and relaxing and it was a great place to go and recharge. We stayed in Seagrove at Margaret's aunt's condo on the beach and it was just perfect. We stayed up until 1:30 am every single night (I'm still paying for it!), but it was so good for the soul! We just could not stop talking and hanging out! We pretty much had to make ourselves go to bed! And I won't even begin to explain how nice it was to just SIT on the beach and do nothing all day long. It's been a really long time since I've gotten to do that! Beach trips with kids are not quite the same! Ha! Different kind of fun though...
We are closing on our new house on Friday (yippee!!!), although we won't be moving in for another 3 weeks or so. We are refinishing the hardwood floors first. In the meantime, we are going to move over to Joel's parents house so we can be closer to school (really worried about having to get Hudson to school by 7:45!). Carrie's coming into town Friday for the week, AND, the boys and I and Carrie and Andres are potentially making one last beach trip before the craziness of school starts. Lots going on in the Reed house!
Oh and I almost forgot...TODAY is our 9th anniversary! Happy Anniversary to us! We will be celebrating at church tonight with dinner and the movie Frozen (for the kids obviously!). So romantic! Ha!
nice..
