Wolfpack game and other weekend fun

So this is my catch up post before we leave for DISNEY WORLD on Wednesday!  We are so super excited.  I've been trying to play catch up on the planning (my mom has done most of it - thanks Mom!!) and pulling things together for packing.  I think we are pretty in control now and can't wait to get there!!

Last week was a typical week for us except on Tuesday night, I had my first Bunco night in the neighborhood!  It was so fun and so nice to really get to know all these ladies so much better!  Unfortunately, that same night was the night that Kylie started having trouble with sleeping and going to bed.  Waylon had trouble getting her to bed and we've had trouble on and off since (poor thing has swollen gums from her molars coming in).  I guess she's feeling better now though because onight was the first night she hasn't fought us.  We still don't have bedtime battles near what we had with Noah so that's good.  We'll see what happens when we take her paci away - that's next....


Last weekend was a fun one as always.  Friday night, we had a last minute get together with my old co-worker, Jimmie, and his family (his wife, Kristen and their boys, Nathan-6 and Ben-3).  They live in the neighborhood next to ours and we hadn't gotten the families together yet.  I'm so glad we did because the kids got along really well together - especially Noah and Nathan - so we'll definitely have to do it again soon!  I made tortilla soup in the crock pot (it was the first day of the weather turning cool) and the kids had nuggets.... pretty low key.

Saturday morning, Noah and I ran a few errands while Daddy and Kylie stayed at home and played - while we were out we ran into Kristen and Nathan!  Too funny.  We also ran into some old friends, Heidi and her son, Aiden!  Too funny.  We got the kids down for naps a little early that day because we all took off to the NC State game that afternoon!!  Megan and Jason couldn't make the game this week so they let us use their tickets so we could all go.  It was so fun and the kids really did great.  This might just be our catalyst to get tickets for all of us next year.  Kylie was a super fan.  She couldn't stop dancing with the music and pumping her fists like she was cheering or conducting the band.  It was so adorable!  We left at halftime and on our way out, we saw Ms. Wuf.  Kylie wasn't quite ready to get too close (Noah of course got a picture with her), but after we walked away, she kept saying "Minnie Mouse Wolf"!!  We've been talking up Disney World obviously.  :-)  Noah also had a great time as always.  He loved using his 'howl towel' that they gave out at the first game to swing around.  It was misting on and off but not too bad so that was good.  I think we are going to have many more years of these games - Waylon is so excited.  :-)

How great is this shot!?

And this one, too! (Noah is howling here)  :-)

Sunday morning, we got up and went out to breakfast.  Everyone was a little cranky just before we left and we weren't sure it was going to be a good idea but they both behaved and loved eating at Brigs.  Then we ran a few errands and came home.  We got some things done around the house that morning and got organized for the trip so that was good. 

After naps, off again... this time to Nana and Grandad's house for playtime and dinner.  When we arrived, Grandaddy was in the garage working on his Corvette.  Noah was very interested in what he was doing and I think Grandaddy was glad to pass on his vast knowledge of the inner workings of cars!

Andrea, Sean and Savannah came also of course and we just had a crazy time as always!  :-) Lots of dress up as is typical these days.  Noah was upset at first that he didn't have a dress but then moved along to being a vet instead.  :-)  I forgot my real camera so these next few shots are from my phone.

This is a good shot of what our time is like at Nana and Grandad's!

Such a fun weekend and a fun adventure ahead, too!  We leave Wednesday - flight is at 11:45 and we'll meet Grammy and Papa at the Orlando airport.  We can't wait!!
