So tonight after dinner I told Catch he could have some of these little cookies because he ate well.
Me..."I will give you three, Catch, because that is how old you are."
Catch..."Mommy, why don't you just pretend I am four today." haha.

Happy Birthday Daddy and Mimi...Go Dawgs!
Just wanted to wish a happy birthday today to Matt(daddy) and Mimi today. Hope it was a special day for you. Matt and I got to go to the season opener for Georgia last night to celebrate his birthday and what a great time we had. We got to tailgate with some friends and the game was awesome! Mimi came to keep the kids and it was so nice being able to see her on her birthday. Thanks Mimi for coming and spending time with the kids. I know they enjoy seeing you so much. You are full of imagination and energy, which we love about you! Thanks for being a great Mimi. Happy Birthday you two....Go Dawgs!
Georgia Fans!

Time for a Haircut, Time for the Beach
So Catch's hair was getting out of control, but for some reason I have such a hard time committing to a haircut for him. I have no idea why, but every time it comes time to cut his hair I just am all nervous inside. I like his hair longer, but unfortunately it is so thick and out of control when it is longer that it just doesn't work right. So came the time for a haircut...he did great, but as you can tell from the second picture, I had promised him some gum and I am sure he was thinking what kind he was going to pick out from the store(it's fun to be a little kid and get such small rewards that seem so big to you!) Now he is all clean cut and as cute as he can be...to his mommy at least!
Now it was time to go visit Mimi and Grandpa in Savannah for the weekend(Labor Day weekend) and enjoy some fun in the sun at the beach for a day. Catch loves the beach and this would be the first time for Kate to really experience the beach, so we were really excited about going. The trip was so great, really enjoyable. We left Macon on Sunday and the kids spent Sunday afternoon with Mimi and Grandpa while I went shopping all by myself(Thanks Mimi and Grandpa). Then Monday, we packed up all that was needed for the beach and Catch and Mimi went down a little early so Catch could spend as much time as possible there, while I waited back at the house for Kate to wake up from her morning nap and then we went and meet them at the beach. Catch of course had a great time. He loves jumping in the water, running in and out of the shore break, making mud pies out of the wet sand. He built ramps for his monster truck to roll over and built sandcastles. A treat for him was that his cousins came out to play...John age 5 and Drew age 3. I was so glad they made it. They had a great time playing football and building castles for the dinosaurs they had brought. It was so fun to sit back and watch all these boys play together. As for Kate, well, she did enjoy her first experience at the beach and I think in the long run she will like it even more. First off, she looked so cute in her matching bathing suit and hairbow(Thanks Nancy for that), which is all that matters right! : ) She thought she was something else sitting up in the beach chair. She was a little iffy of the sand and once I put the umbrella up and laid out a towel for her, she was very content to sit right there on that towel, playing with her toys, not even attempting to see what all this sand business was all about(quite the opposite of her brother who at that age basically rolled around in the sand, eating it, not bothered at all about it...and if you notice the pics, not much has changed, except he doesn't eat as much sand now!) The shore break scared her a little, but she is such a good sport when introduced to new things. Overall, it was a great visit to Savannah and to the beach. We look forward to it again soon. Oh how I wish the beach were in our backyard! Love you Mimi and Grandpa, thanks for having us.

A Day of First
So today was a day of first for both of my little ones. It is always an exciting day when something new happens in their development. Watch the video and see the pictures below to see what Catch and Kate's new experience was for today.
Now if any of you know how much Catch likes to swing, you will know why I was so so excited that he figured out how to do it on his own(thanks to a previous trip to the park that morning where he saw a 6 and an 8 year old swinging beside him....he watched them very closely and came home and did it all by himself. I was so proud of him.) I have been so looking forward to this day, but in all honesty, it was kinda bitter sweet. Thankfully I know Catch well enough that even though he knows how to do it, he will always want his mommy to push him on the swing. : )
As for Kate...it was her first time down the slide. I have video of this too, but for some reason can't get it on here. You know, I think she liked it, but she is not near the risk taker that Catch was. He had pure joy the first time he went down the slide and then kept wanting to go again and again. Kate on the other hand was definitely caught by surprise as to what she was doing and then every time I put her back up there and Catch would give her a little nudge on the back, she would hold onto the side of the slide so that she couldn't go down it...she would be just dangling mid-slide still holding on. She didn't cry, so I am assuming she didn't hate it. I think she is just going to have to figure it all out on her own. Below are the pictures of both of their first trips down the slide. Kate today and then Catch's first time down the slide and then back to the top again full of joy ready for another trip down it. So funny to see the different personalities.
