Seabrook with Daddy!

The first week that Kevin has been home since May...and Addie and I took him to Seabrook Island for the weekend...well, actually he drove so I guess he took us!

Kevin thought he would be able to do what we always do when we arrive in Charleston...jump from restaurant to restaurant eating. I knew better but he didn't! Addie did not want to sit still in the first restaurant, much less go to any more!

Saturday, after eating breakfast on Isle of Palms, Addie and I took Kevin shopping...our favorite sport! We walked around downtown Charleston and up and down King Street. We did a lot more window shopping than buying.

Sunday, before we left Seabrook, we walked on the beach. Addie thought it was a perfect morning for swimming, too! On our way home, we visited Magnolia Plantation. It was beautiful. We took the boat tour and Addie loved it. She thought the tour guide was talking to her!

First Day of Mother's Day Out...

I'm ready to try this school thing out!

My Little Caterpillar

I was trying to get a couple of pictures so that I could pick one for Addisyn's first birthday invitations...yes it has almost been a year! So, her birthday party theme will be The Very Hungry Caterpillar, like her nursery. I dressed her in a green outfit, took her quilt from her crib and cushion from her chair to make a background and gave her an apple to hold...what I didn't realize was that she was gonna actually EAT the apple and run off! Here are some pictures of my little caterpillar!

Back Home

We made it back home! MiMi and Poppi came up on Friday night and went to the beach with us Saturday morning before we left. After leaving Seabrook, I took the kids to Tanger Outlets to get some new shoes for school. We did make it back home tonight safe and sound!
We now are getting ready for a full week of football and Thursday we go see who the boys' teachers are!

Have a great week everyone!

Vacation Day 6

Today I decided that we needed a day not on the beach...Addie had to much sun yesterday. So, after breakfast, Chandler suggested that we go to the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry. This is a great hands on museum especially for younger children. All three kids had a blast.

After the museum, we ate lunch at the Charleston Tea Company and had some dessert at the Cupcake! Then, the boys somehow talked me into taking them to Patriots Point to see the USS Yorktown.

Later that evening, we met up with my bestest, Allison, and had dinner at A.W. Shucks. This is a really great restaurant if you are looking for a restaurant in downtown Charleston. After dinner, we went down to the Battery for some photo's.

Vacation Day 5

"Look at my fishy Bubbie!"


Addie is getting better at walking in the waves.


"Bubbie, if you aren't gonna use your board, I will!"
