The last two days have been exciting (and busy) ones in the Brewer home. On Wednesday, Anderson was thrilled when he awoke to me informing him that he was missing school to go and have his picture taken. He really enjoys Lisa, our photographer, and he loves any excuse to miss school, although by the time we were doing his make-up work Wednesday evening, he was wishing he had gone! The boys had a ball posing for photographs, even though Bennett was not as chipper as usual as he had fallen asleep on the way to Lisa's, and he did not want to wake up, and Anderson was hyper--probably from all the excitement. I can't wait to see my proofs next week!! I got a sneak peak at a few and they were ADORABLE!!
After our photo session, we stopped at Zaxby's (I LOVE their grilled chicken house salad with lite ranch dressing...try it if you haven't already.) I was so busy helping the boys eat, that I never did finish my meal, but it was nice to have a meal with just my babies nonetheless.
A stop at Granddaddy and Granny's house followed lunch, and Anderson stayed to hang out with Granddaddy while I took Bennett home for a nap. But Bennett and I didn't head home before taking a ride on one of the four-wheelers. We chased Granddaddy and Andrew through the woods on their "voom", as the boys call it. It was too cold to ride for long, but we did manage to warm up by the fire Granddaddy had made in the backyard. Anderson paid Nanny a visit at her preschool where her four female students gave him a huge ego boost! When he left the school, the girls were squealing for him out of the school's bathroom window. I remember having crushes on older boys when I was little, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I would have a crush on Anderson if I were still little (and, um, obviously not his mother!).
One of the highlights yesterday was my sister-friend, Stacy (my boys' "Aunt Stacy") formally announced her pregnancy! Congratulations, Stacy and Rhett Butler! We are so full of joy for you, and we can't wait to meet the little Butler bean in September. I hope to see you and your soon-to-be growing belly very soon. The shower plans are officially underway.....it is never too early to start planning!
While yesterday was a bit frantic yet fun, today was refreshingly peaceful because my dear, sweet, attentive husband recognized that I was desperately needing some time alone. He took Bennett with him to Toys R Us and to Lowes while I went for a manicure, to the bank to take care of some things I had been wanting to tend to but didn't want to take a baby to do, and to grab a sandwich that I enjoyed eating all by my lonesome. I made a pitstop at the grocery store on the way home to grab a few things (including diapers, which is always on the list), and now I am cooking dinner for my sweet "fellas". Those "fellas" are upstairs playing guitar hero as I type, and Bennett is loving it because he dances right along as they play. Normally, Anderson is not allowed to play during the week as he seems to focus better on what he needs to take care of when there are restrictions on such things during the week. But he made a 100 on his pre-test for spelling so he doesn't have to take tomorrow's test, he already said his Bible verse, so he only has Latin to study for tonight. He is off to basketball practice in a few hours.
I want to take a moment to thank my sweetheart for seeing my need and being so willing to meet it. Honey, you set a high standard that few could ever meet. I'm so glad I picked you.
