Awesome August : Part 3

Two blog posts on one Monday... wow... mind blown!πŸ˜‚ I have loved reliving our awesome August memories today!

Multitude Monday : 10 Thankful-nesses ❤

Thankful for SOCCER!
So, we took a break during spring sports knowing that a preggo momma being a taxi and cheerleader during April - June, may not be in everyone's best interest. But now, we are so excited to embrace this new to us stage!
With Harrison reffing ( his 1st paid job!), Matt coaching Hannah, and Hudson playing his 1st team sport!
Thankful that Matt joined the board of soccer peeps too- he is such a great networker and relationship builder...excited about this new way to know our local community!






 Back to my classroom... sigh... had hoped there would have been some magic painting fairy that came along this summer to bring this drab room some LIFE! But bless the new janitor's heart when he told me how much he scrubbed the baseboards... I'll take every little bit of clean I can!
 Lulu, clearly unimpressed tho.
 But this saying is all the hearts. And so cute. And helps the nasty wall and 1/2 painted chalk board seem ok. Thank you Aldi for that adorable donut towel!

 Thankful for tag teaming!

 SO.Much.to.Do.
 "Dad do I look like a teenager now?" Oh buddy, stay young. Please.
 Soccer Saturday!

 Thankful for Mimi and her huge heart! She is always excited to cheer our kiddos on during any and all event! And of course getting Lulu rocked and napped is a plus too!

 Thankful. BEYOND words, for Hudson blowing our minds on that soccer field! The happiest guy! Running, sometimes skipping, always smiling and laughing!
Hudson's IEP is for a few things, one being behavioral issues, so when we registered him for soccer, we literally had and still have no idea what each practice or game will look like. His 1st practice was hard. His 2nd practice was easier. His game was INCREDIBLE.
This boy is showing us what growth looks like - and how to be truly joyful in ALL the moments surrounding the growth.

Thankful for Mimi & Hannah sharing a yard sale love! Those 2 find all the goods! 
And of course, in true Mimi form she got them tasty treats from Mcds & Hannah always finds treasures for Hudson. 
 All the smiles for morning chats with Mimi!
 Thankful for a couple of teens sharing their creativity with the Sunday School! Hudson loved his 1st Sunday in his new class!


 And we loved naptime Sunday too!
 This pix is everything... Saturday night was awful... 0 sleep for basically everyone ( well dad got his full beauty rest but that's a whole other story) So after church and a delish meal with friends, which I was AWFUL at  #wearsfeelingsonsleevesalldayerrday ( insert all the please forgive mes to the frands there) We go home to nap... and Harrison and Hudson napped for 3 hours! I had to wake them up to take Harrison to Paint Wars at a local church! It seemed like the perfect back to school High School Only event! He was exhausted & excited & embarassed that I even offered to walk him in to check in... Oh Harrison take it easy on this crazy in love with you momma!





 Hudson and Lulu bonding over Storybots ❤

 After 90 minutes at Paint Wars and Slip n Slide relays.... Ummm can you walk home!? πŸ˜€

 MONDAY!!! TODAY!!
He has SUCH joy. SUCH.
And then I Saw this mom meme.. and it rang true to anyone trying to zap joy from his cute crazy self

 THIS.
 Her squeals and big smiles. Obsessed.

And today... as kiddos are gone.. Matt's back to work., and Lulu is beyond chill... it gives time for devotion reflection & time to smell the flowers
 Because... Ann Voskamp blew my mind today with this reminder...
