Last Thursday Will had to dress up as a King for school. It wasn't easy finding a King costume in one day, considering his teacher told us the day before. I was able to find a crown for $.69 at Party City and borrowed my neighbors daughters cape from her Snow White costume. They were dressing as Kings and Queens to take presents to Baby Jesus for a fundraiser they were doing for Toys for Tots. He enjoyed picking out a toy for the little boy. Last week we also packed a shoe box full of goodies for Operation Christmas Child http://samaritanspurse.org/. He had to pick everything out, some stuff I had to put back, he wanted to be really generous!!
His classroom and another one also had a "Sweet Family Gathering" for Parents and Grandparents on Thursday. The kids sang a little song and surprised us with all the words and numbers they knew in Spanish. Will's classroom made some yummy strawberries dipped in chocolate and the teachers made some fabulous desserts for us. Will also surprised us with a bag of potpourri that smells great! Unfortunately my camera died so I couldn't get a picture of the kids, Jared did get this one.
Nana (my mom) came Friday afternoon, so we were pretty lazy that morning and I think stayed in our PJ's till after lunch.Snuggling in my bed, Will begging me to take their picture!!
Will opening his presents from Nana, she can't come without bringing something! Thanks Nana!!
Will left with Nana Saturday afternoon and they met Papa in Troy to go to the Football game. He has been staying with my parents and with Jared's mom and step dad this week in Dothan. We are leaving tomorrow and can't wait to see him!!
So, what have I done since Will has been gone...sleeping till 9:30 everyday, shopping a little, and not cleaning any liked I hoped to do. I forgot how easy it was with only one kid!! I think Caroline has enjoyed having the spotlight this week. I've taken lots of pictures the past few days of her. She has just been smiling all week, maybe it's because she has had mine and Jared's total attention!
I am getting Caroline's three month pictures and a Christmas picture of her and Will made on Saturday. I can't decide which dress for her to wear. I need some opinions....

I like the first one. It will show up better in the picture. She is SO cute! She has the greatest smile. What day was she born again? I keep forgetting how much older than Lucy she is
I like the white one! It was good seeing you Friday. Your kids are BEAUTIFUL!
I love the white one too! Hope y'all had a fun week in Dothan!
I won't say which dress I like best now since you've already chosen...haha. =) Can't wait to see the pictures. These pics are all so precious.
