Random Picture Updates

I had several pictures from last week and the few before that didn't have one in depth story, so I just decided to put them all in one post in order to stay somewhat current. So in no particular order...

Last week was "Lunch with a Loved One" and the book fair. I hate the book fair to be honest. It is crappy books at a very overpriced price, and I have to stand in a line and crowd like it's Black Friday (because they conveniently put the book fair on Grandparents' Day as well, and we all know what suckers you guys can be). Thankfully, Sage is realizing that the books there aren't great, so she really didn't want anything besides one book. Jaggar, on the other hand, had to have his OLIVIA book.

It was nice to go eat with her. Sage is always proud when we come to eat with her, especially when her friends go, "SAGE! Is that your mom??? She's pretty!" True story. And I QUOTE. Okay, maybe it was me that liked that more though. ;) Anyway, what Sage really loves is how entertaining Jaggar is to all of her friends without fail every time. I thought that both of these pics of them were super cute.

This is from Labor Day, but we went shopping at Publix in Pell City that day since we are getting one....one day, I guess. They are taking their sweet time with it for sure, but Travis suggested we go. I do weekly grocery lists now (I never did that before) AND plan meals for every day. I'm learning a lot of new things...mainly how to organize, and I hope to get even better, especially by cutting down on what I spend. It's EXPENSIVE to eat! BUT I've recently made pork chops for the first time, a few roasts, fish, chicken several different ways...I think everyone has been impressed. Travis said that he loves coming home now because the house always smells like food. So I'm thankful that this season has taught me that because I should've always been doing that, though Travis is a better cook than I am and does enjoy it more...just not after 13 hours of working.

The carts were cars, and the kids actually did really well in them. But Sage said, "I didn't like that cart. My legs were so cramped." I said, "Um maybe because you're 7 1/2 years old and don't need to be riding in a cart?" Nah, that couldn't have been it.

This was that same day a few weeks ago outside, and I just never put the one of Sage and I up.

Here is Jaggar at church with some....strange fox/wolf type character? I don't really know what it is, but I do know that its name is Blueberri and it is a character, so Jaggar probably didn't leave him alone until he left or was physically made to do so. Jaggar is CRAZY about characters.

And this is this past Wednesday evening while I was at church. The nights are getting cooler, so it's so nice to take the kids outside to play. Travis let them drive their car until the battery died.

:) That should catch me up to now!
