Recap.

I have no other way to say it. 
Today's title is just "Recap."
Because there's a lot of recappin' to do.

Let's go back a couple weeks (yikes) to VBS.
Night 1

Night 2 - WVU (Blue/Gold) or Marshall (Green/White) Night.
As my son does not have any apparel from either school, I pulled a blue/yellow shirt out of his closet.

He insisted on the Cards hat and sunglasses.

Night 3 - Red, White & Blue Night.

Again, he insisted on the hat.

Night 4 - Hat Night.

Then, Friday we were off to IL.
Our future home sweet home.

We took a load of household stuff with us.
So exciting!
We're so close!!

Saturday we celebrated Mom's birthday.

Sunday we had church, said goodbye to Daddy, as he was back on his way to WV, and had a church picnic.

Monday JJ and I went shopping crazy.
We picked out bedroom and living room furniture and some carpet for downstairs.
For the most part, he did pretty good.
But he was over shopping pretty quick.

Tuesday he accompanied me to get my hair cut...like this...

Then lunch, drop him off at my MoMo's to run errands, pick that kid back up, visit grandparents and head back to Mom and Dad's.

While we were doing that, my Dad and brother were off getting this...

Dad's got big plans for his backyard.

Wednesday we were up and off to St. Louis to see my brother, sister, and "The Baby", which is what JJ calls the sweet little girl my sister nannies. 

Once back, since it was my Mom's actual birthday, we got everything we needed for a surprise party.

Guess who picked the balloons?

I have no idea how to spell Umi? But that's what JJ calls her...

He was hiding at church, waiting for her to round to corner so he could yell SURPRISE!

Thursday, up and off to WV.
Back to packing and planning to make the move.

Just a couple more weeks - we can do this!

I'm Back, Jack!

Yikes!
Planning a move, packing, getting a house ready, celebrating birthdays, and 1000 mile round trips really take it out of you.
But we're back.
Still planning, packing and getting a house ready.
But back, nonetheless.

LOL Wednesday

Sorry for missing yesterday.

VBS, packing, and the pool is wearing us out!

I have said many times...
If ANYTHING ever happens to Kevin, I'll be arrested for the content of my DVR alone.

It's nothing but Snapped's, Datelines, and 48 Hours.
I do love my husband. Promise.

Neglect

So...
Here's the thing...

Whenever it's hot and sunny out, I start to neglect things.
Laundry.
Dishes.
This blog.
Oops.

And since last week, it's been pretty awesome.
And not just because we're breaking out nighttime glow sticks...

For the last week, this guy has been our faithful friend.

But as it started REALLY heating up?

We got back in the big pool!

And stayed there for HOURS.

And went to bed exhausted.

And got up the next day to do it all over again.

Watching JJ get used to swimming all over again was great.
He started off with his frog floaty thing.
Then moved on to his little ring...

Then settled into his vest.

He preferred it over the others, obviously. 

So, that's my excuse for the blogging blackout these last few days.

Well, that and PACKING.
We've started packing, finally!

June is looking to be a pretty awesome month.
Let's do this. 

Memorial Day Weekend Wrap Up and LOL Wednesday

Since JJ was sick, this is what Friday night and all of Saturday looked like...

Then Sunday morning, I woke up feeling like dookie.
JJ took care of me the best he could...

But had free run of the house, and pretty much destroyed it playing.

Although, when he asked what was wrong and I told him, "Mommy hurts."
He said, "Oh, I fix!"

Thanks, bubba.

Monday was a new day and we all were starting to feel better.
I had a couple Memorial Day projects I was perfecting...

JJ got to play outside.

Dry his hands.

And mow with Daddy.

Tuesday I got my latest phone cover.

And JJ did some swimming.
But it was too cold for me, so I just watched.

LOL WEDNESDAY
