Summer is almost over.  Seems like school just got out for the summer and now here we are starting back.  I remember when I was in school we got 3 months off for summer... now seems like they are getting shorter and shorter.  Honestly, I would not mind year round school, if they incorporated nice long breaks in between, but I think I am in the minority on this one.  Seeing as though I am a working mom now, we really did not get much time to go and do like we have in the past, but I tried to make it as fun as I could.  We planned a trip to the beach for several days and let me tell you... WE HAD A BLAST!!!!   I do wish time would slow down, as I know my "babies" won't stay "babies" forever... but I honestly LOVE watching them grow up and become who they are.  Yes, I have hopes and dreams... all parents do, but in the end... I want them to be WHO they are meant to be!    Since summer is coming to an end... and school has started back...

Can you believe it is already October? I was talking to a customer the other day and we discussed that this is the time of the year when everything just flies by.  Football season, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and then BOOM - It is a whole NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!! Not the best photo, I don't know why it is so blurry... But, I love these two more than they will ever know!   They are growing so fast and they are my favorite everything!  In honor of time flying by, I wanted to do a giveaway. One lucky winner will win a $25 gift card to your choice of Wal-Mart OR Target. You can use it to buy fall decor, save it for Thanksgiving groceries, Christmas gifts or whatever you would like to buy!  What is your favorite thing about this time of year!

So, I went to Target today... LOL , that is actually how I could start a blog about once a week. Anyways, I went last week to buy some shorts for Broxton . Yes, I know winter is coming soon, but it doesn't really get THAT COLD in Georgia, especially any time soon! So, I bought him some (6mo. and 9 mo.) No, I didn't try them on, I just figured they would work! :) I got home and tried them on, the 6 mo. were a NO GO! But, the 9 mo. worked great! That was the original purpose of the Target trip today... While I was returning them, I wanted to look for a little bag to actually use for Broxton . That is a story for another day though! Well, I made the return... Easy enough, they put it on the card. Now, lets go look for the bag... Okay, found a couple bags I needed.. But, I wanted a duffel bag for when we go on trips and I have not found what I want yet.. Nope, still the same CLUSTER that has been back there for a while now... Like, not even organizing the are...
