Dinner & Donuts

Since Cooper had spent the night with Gigi & Bubba, Greg and I took Reagan out on a date.

She chose Red Lobster

 and we visited the new Krispy Kreme that just opened near our house~ Reagan chose a powdered donut

Benefits

One of the benefits of our move is being able to have dinner with family!  After a couple of days of unpacking, we had our first meal in our new home.  My mom and dad came up for a visit and so did Greg's parents and sister.  We hope to host many more "family dinners" in the future.

 

Play Time

Tonight, the kids and I were blessed to have dinner with some of our good friends.  While Cathy and I chatted about everything (and nothing), the kids had a great time playing.

this is the only picture I took all night!

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2012

We had a busy St. Patrick's Day this year.  Unfortunately, Greg had to work, so he didn't get to join in on the fun:(  We started off the day with Leprechaun pancakes, rode bicycles around the neighborhood, mowed the grass, then the real fun began.  After lunch, Reagan went to a birthday party for one of her friends ~ they've known each other since infant massage classes at the hospital, then they were in pre-school together and now they're in elementary school with each other.  (and by the way, they say they're getting married when they're big!).  After the birthday party, Reagan had soccer practice.

Go BLAZE!

 they scrimmaged each other and her "team" scored!

 Reagan's turn to practice corner kicks

 Cooper wanted a turn to be photographer

 tongue out = working hard

 After soccer practice and baths, Greg took the kids to Salsarita's and Rita's while I had a girls' night out dinner with some friends.  We were celebrating Cathy's birthday!

Saturday ~ Full of Fun

Today, Reagan's school had their annual Spring Fest.  Unfortunately, Greg had to work today and was unable to join us, but the kids and I had a great time at all the carnival type games.

Reagan wanted to try the cake walk 1st thing

 we didn't win a cake, so we moved on to "Pucker Powder"

 then we went "fishin'"

 Cooper tried his luck at the lollipop tree

 the "nose picker" was a lot of fun

 we spent a lot of time in the gym on the bounce houses and slides

 Reagan wanted to show me her poster she made for the "Jump Rope for Heart" contest (hers is the pink one!)

 more bounce house fun

 Lunch was in the cafeteria ~ "Chick Fil A"

 back to the cake walk

 they tried and tried to win a goldfish

 ...and they did ~ both of them!

 they were so proud of their fish.  Reagan named hers Lucy Rose Sandidge, Cooper named his Rocky Head Sandidge!

 For the highlight of our night, we were invited to dinner at Shawn and Ronnie's house.  It was delicious ~ and better than that, we had 3 great hours of fun and fellowship with some great friends!

Night of Worship





Instead of having our normal Bible study tonight, our group went on a progressive dinner of sorts and to our church's Night of Worship celebration.

we started the night off with dinner at Five Guys ~ delicious hamburgers, hot dogs and more french fries than we could eat!

 Next, we walked across the street to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts 

 the doughnuts were "HOT NOW" and finger-licking good!

 Let the Night of Worship begin

 a better picture without the 2 Krispy Kreme guys!

Finally, we ended the evening with a treat at Rita's Ice

Our hearts (and stomachs) were full by the end of the night!
