Holiday weekend

Happy Turkey Day :)

It has been a busy November for the Handleys so I apologize for my absence!!  We have been working hard around the house trying to prepare for both Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house this year.

at the Raleigh Christmas Parade

We went for a weekend with friends in Myrtle Beach mid-Nov

 

early Thanksgiving dinner

Hope everyone has a wonderful Turkey Day!  xxoo

 

State Fair

NASCAR weekend

Jason & I went to the NASCAR race in Charlotte this weekend (first race ever) and it was awesome!  I thought I would hate it.  It was hilarious.  We went with about 10 friends and had a blast.

Ty stayed with Grandma and Aunt Carrie and Cousin Blake

It was FREEZING this weekend and I am NOT ready for it.

Ty’s room.. slowly but surely

I had no idea it would take me so many months to paint his room!  It’s hard to find ways to do it while he is not there.  And he doesn’t sleep well in other rooms.  Finally (!!) I had a day off yesterday and started first thing in the morning.  It’s not a dramatic change by any means but it feels fresh and new.  You may know we put up the wall mural a few weeks ago.  Next we need some toddler furniture but I am in no rush for him to be out of the crib!!

Painting also enabled me to put up his ‘measurement’ decal I purchased from etsy.com a few months ago.  OMG – what a PAIN IN THE … but I think it’s pretty cute.  We used it last night for the first time.  35″!

omg – 2 kids is too much

This Saturday morning I helped watch our babysitters daughter while she moved – and ‘wow’ 2 toddlers are BUSY!  They also run pretty fast.  In opposite directions.  How does Kate Gosslin do it?  We had fun though and it gave me new appreciation for our sitter

Look at the size of Ty compared to Kenna (they are 1 month apart)

 

Sunday lunch

Charles County Fair

Ty and I went up to MD this weekend – which fell on the weekend of the chuck county fair – yea!  Ty’s first fair.  He had the best time EVER.  Threw a tantrum every time the ride stopped.  Dusty, dirty, sticky, sweaty – it was great

Ty & Blake

awww… cousins!
