Thursdays are always my favorite day of the week. Is that weird? It’s kind of like a mini-Friday. I enjoy a Thursday. Happy Thursday to YOU!
Day 50: After a morning out, we came home and had one of our indoor picnics while watching a movie together. Next year, when Kensington is in kindergarten, I am going to really miss this. And then the following year when Smith is in kinder, you will find me most days in the fetal position crying my eyes out. I’ll miss my babies! 😉
Day 51: You might think these two boys could be trouble…but you know what? They’re really sweethearts! I love having Nixon over to play (and his sweet little brother Bowen too!).
Day 52: Us on a Friday. We get pretty wild :).
Day 53: My whole world sitting in Andrew’s old truck getting ready to head out on a Saturday. They’re my whole world.
Day 54: I love being this girl’s mama.
Day 55: A simple morning of puzzles and coloring. I love seeing them stretched out over my floor being creative.
Day 56: I’ve lost all control. Someone call for help.

I LOVE that you cherish your time with your sweet kiddos! Now that my bigs are in school, Annie is the only thing that keeps me out of the fetal position. Ashby will be your saving grace!
Narci says
That picture of your sweet kiddos in Andrew's truck is perfection!! I love it! I love Thursdays and Sundays, too! Have a great weekend!! Xoxo
Angela Ellingson says
Thank goodness you will have Ashby. 🙂 I've actually decided to homeschool my kids. It's not something I ever planned on but believe God put it on my heart. The more I look into it the more it appeals to me, but the best part will be getting so much more time with my little loves. Anyway, just throwing it out there in case you hadn't considered it. I know it's not for everyone and you will make the best choice for your family. You are such an amazing mama!!

My daughter has 6 year old twins and a 4 year old. She is home schooling them and it's great! They have learned so much very quickly because of the individual attention. I love it because I get to see them more often than if they were at school.

Thursday is without a doubt my favorite day of the week too! So glad to know I am no longer in this love for mini-fridays alone.
Laura Fuller says

LOVE the pic of the kids with Andrew in the truck 🙂 And you know how I feel about the pic of your kiddos having a picnic (TEAR!). Thanks so much for the shout out, girly! When I set the table yesterday my kids were totally confused that Kensington and Smith weren't coming over for dinner 🙂 I had to promise I'll make a fancy table for them when we have dinner this month.
Sara Laverty says
I get it. I love a Thursday as well. I think knowing that tomorrow is Friday adds that extra pep in my step! 🙂
Lisa Iwasyk says
Love your blog! I started reading Andrea and Erika's blogs as well because of you! Now I feel like I have 3 friends in Texas! You will miss your babies when they are both in school! My last one started kindergarten in the fall and I miss them all the time! I vol teen a lot at the school so they love seeing me there throughout the day! I am enjoying a little more me time though! Sending love from Chi-town!

It seems like you have stopped watching the Bachelor (based on several comments) and I was wondering why? I remember you saying it was your favorite show and I can't figure out why you would stop watching it?? From one Bach fan to another 🙂
Bama Girl in AZ says
LOVE Thursday! Normally I work from home on Thursdays, but on the Thursdays I have to be in the office I get excited because it's the day before I can wear jeans to the office so that makes it awesome!
Jaren says
I always tell my husband he has my whole world in his truck with him if he goes somewhere with all the kids without me.
Meg says
Smith in those glasses….HYSTERICAL! And I think Kensington looks a lot like Lovie!

Oh those faces 🙂 Your children are beautiful and they look so happy. I remember when my oldest son was a year away from starting kindergarten and I was already so sad. Now he is 19 years old and I can't figure out how that happened! Thanks for sharing your sweet pictures….Lana

Your eyebrows are PERFECT in that photo where Kensington is making the kissy face!
