Another one of Sophie's projects:

Apparently, someone was spotted in the woods behind the school.

Today was another cleaning day. This time, I worked in the playroom and in the basement. I don't spend a lot of time down there, so sometimes it gets to be a huge mess. This is the finished product!

It's going to be a busy week for me. Today I cleaned out Sophie's and Reed's closets, packed away the winter clothes and pulled out summer. They are both growing so fast! I also spent a very long time cleaning up Sophie's room. It is such a chore!

Her room is so happy and bright when it's clean.

Michael is still in Columbus this morning! We left our house at 6:15 this morning to get Bo to the ballpark by 7:00! Bo was ready and I just threw Sophie and Reed in the car with their PJs on. I did stop by Dunkin Donuts for Coffee and breakfast on the way!

Peach had a rough week last week. We think she ate a bug or something that made her really sick. I almost took her to the emergency vet one night because she was shaking so bad and she wouldn't move. She finally was able to rest though. I was so worried... The next morning, I took her to our regular vet expecting to hear the worse. Surprisingly, he said that her levels had actually improved and he just gave her some fluids and sent her home. This dog...smh!

Michael left for Columbus this morning and will be gone until Sunday night! It's not usually a problem for me during the week, but weekends are different! Luckily, Bo's 12:00 game was cancelled due to field conditions. We dropped Sophie off for a birthday party and made it easily to Reed's 1:30 game. After that, we went to pick up Sophie from the party, ran home for a minute, took Reed and Sophie to Wayne and Dianne's house, and went to Bo's first game with the Kennesaw Generals. It was a fun night watching Bo play baseball with a new team. He made several good plays at 3rd and got a hit with a couple of RBIs. Then we went over to Wayne and Dianne's for some good hamburgers. I made Wayne some Carrot Cake cupcakes, that's his favorite! No pictures... Too busy to even think about it.

Just so I can say I added a picture, here's one of my favorite pictures of me, Tiffany and Lee when we were teenagers. I looked for this one everywhere when it was Lee's birthday. I love the look on Tiffany's face, reminds me of Madi.

Carson came over to play with Reed today!

Then we all went to Russ' baseball game and got soaking wet! Then we went to Taco Mac in the middle of a huge thunderstorm.

Sophie plays with these girls almost everyday! Love them!

After the baseball game! Coop wasn't very happy about this picture.

Heart Group was cancelled tonight so I went to the baseball game. It's so much fun to watch Reed play ball. He is learning so much.

Getting ready for Spring with Reed and Peach.

Poor Bo

This weekend was pretty rough for Bo. On Friday, he got his annual Spring Fever Blister on his nose. This was the worst everand he felt really sick, so I took him to the dermatologist today to be sure it was nothing to worry about. She gave him an antiviral medicene to take. He was already on an antibiotic from the dr visit on Saturday.

Happy 13th Birthday Madison Hope Lockridge!

You are beautiful in every way. I couldn't be more proud of you!

This is what happens when you tell Reed he can help make the biscuits then you walk away for a minute.

Movie Night

This is a terrible picture (taken with my phone). We have been working out in the yard all day, meanwhile Sophie has been inside getting the movie theatre ready. She set up chairs and even gave us assigned seats. We rented a movie and ordered pizza. We had to come in the front door and give Sophie our Free Tickets because it was "Free Friday." When the pizza arrived, she served us all while we watched the movie. It was a fun night!
