Homecoming Spirit Week!

Homecoming Spirit week means dressing up EVERY day for a week of school.  There are themes for each day.... they went on a "roadtrip" and Monday was Movie Character day and they went to hollywood.  DF was Kong, Nora was Belle.  Then they went to the wild west on Tuesday, Wednesday they took it back through the decades and mine chose 80's (YES, I loved it the most!)  Franklin was a super cool and fun daddy and was on T-shirt design.  Thursday was "tacky tourist" day, and Friday we made it back home for Blue and Gold day.  They loved it and had so much fun, even Isaac had to dress up and join them when he was home with me or at Mother's Day Out!

Bass Littles get their second sets of tubes

Everything is better together!  These two shared a hospital bed, and Jello and got their ears all fixed up.  Poor Nora's was horrible and she didn't even complain about it.  I think she'd been living with the pain for so long.  The Doctor said there was dried blood deep in her ear, maybe it ruptured or ripped a while ago and we had no idea.  Isaac got his adenoids out too, which we are hoping all will contribute to keeping them healthy!  Nora woke up with a smile and they both charmed the nurses and didn't miss a beat.  The picture below is when they both had their first sets of tubes as babies.  I really didn't notice how much they looked alike until this pic!  Both bald heads, pacis, eye shape and their feet are positioned the same.  Love them to pieces.  DF got to miss the ear party, tube thing.  Lucky boy!

Texas Girls Weekend

I got invited by my dear friend, Kim to go on a girls trip to Austin to listen to a Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey podcast Live event.  She is a Christian pop culture (ish) Podcaster and while I am not a devoted listener (ok, I've only heard 3) I took this opportunity because it was different and I thought I'd enjoy it.  It was a lot of fun, and we stopped in Waco to shop at the Magnolia Silos, had great dinners, and lots of mommy talks.  Good stuff!

Chicago Wedding Weekend

Franklin and I spent Labor Day weekend in Chicago!  We went for Chad Holwsclaw's wedding and it was wonderful.  We had more fun that weekend than I can remember.  SO many funny people in one place, and the wedding was over the top!  We even had a palate cleanser between courses.  Franklin got to spend time with lots of his Arkadelphia pals and I really enjoyed their wives.  Beth Weiser and I got to go Hamilton and it was phenomenal.  I want to go again and DF is begging to go (he has to get older first).   Great weather, great events, and I even got to meet up with my cousin, Jenny and walk along the beach at Lake Michigan.  Wonderful trip all around, thank you to Meme for keeping the Bass kiddos happy, well and entertained!

Party Hardy

A couple of weeks ago I had a Fallen Movie watch party at my house because Lauren's book Fallen is in a movie and is available to rent/buy on iTunes, Amazon Prime, and more!  It was released in major cities and Little Rock didn't make the cut so we had our own party and it was lots of fun! The next day, we hosted Supper Club and ate outside on the patio by the water, it was fun and perfect weather for it!
