Friday Favorites :: Three Things Right Now

by Whitney Pegram - Friday, November 18, 2016

Friday .... FINALLY!

Well, I don't know about all that but ...

What a week!? This mama is exhausted.

I thought for sure I wouldn't have to tell my kiddos to stop touching each other until they were at least a little bit older ... boy was I wrong! They play well together for the most part but they do their fair share of aggravating each other. I bet I say "stop touching, stop aggravating, stop tattling, stop wrestling ... yes, wrestling & funny enough it's usually Millie Jo jumping on top of Cooper, about 27 times a day. Sigh. I'm certain I'll miss their bickering one day but goodness gracious!

Today I am linking up with Erika, Andrea & Narci for some Friday Favorites!

It's been a while since I've done a Three Things post & since it's one of my most favorites, I thought why not just do it as my Friday Favorites this week!?! :)

Every few months I try to do a post like this & share three things about each of us at this very moment.

I say it every.single.time. but I'll say it again ... I LOVE them so much! Shout out to Andrea because I got the idea from her!

I'm going to be the mama that when my kiddos come ask me a question about their childhood I'm just going to be like "www.pegram4.blogspot.com." :)

Ok, so here are three things right now for you . . .

1. Cooper just lost his 3rd tooth. It's one of his front top teeth ... & the other one is super loose too. I have a feeling I will have a little snaggle tooth by Christmas!

2. Cooper just finished his first golf lessons. He loved it & learned so much!

3. Cooper is a hardcore football band wagon fan. Seriously, it cracks me up! Last year he was obsessed .... I'm talking OBSESSED with the ~~no good, good for nothing~~ Washington Redskins, at the end of last year he started loving the Carolina Panthers [because they went to the Super Bowl] & now he is loving the Cowboys [you know this mama is LOVING that!!]. But then yesterday he was wearing his Redskin jersey again. I think it just depends on what day it is!
LOL

Bonus ::
4. Cooper is already trying to decide what he wants to be for Halloween next year. Seriously! He's so funny. It may be a good thing though because he changed his mind 712 times this year.

1. Millie Jo loves to count. She counts all the time & can get to 20 then starts back at 16 :).

2. Millie Jo loves to color. And y'all, I'm not even kidding when I say the girl stays in the lines like no other! It's pretty incredible & she's always so proud.

3. Millie Jo loves her some "pinky promises." We pinky promise something at least two times a day. She will ask me a question & after I answer she will say "you pinky promise? Here, give me your finger." It may just be the cutest!

Or maybe this is . . .

Bonus ::
4. Millie Jo just got her bedtime prayers down pat. You know the "Now I lay me down to sleep" one. Oh my heart, I could listen to her over & over. She still prays for Coop ... when he had strep throat ... last year in kindergarten, she thanks God for Ruthie Belle & she always prays for the "ba-lease" ... you know, the police.

1. Dan has just discovered that he loves to build things. Remember the ladder & bench I told you about on Monday!?! He really is so good at it! I mean, the man has had orders coming in! LOL

2. I just started my very own online children's consignment. It has always been my dream to have my own children's consignment/boutique & I decided to stop saying "I wanted to" & just do it. It's at the very beginning stage [through Facebook] but I have such big dreams for it! Baby steps though :). Feel free to check it out ... Oh My Heart! A Children's Southern Consignment & Boutique.

3. We are really loving the new church we have been visiting. And our kiddos love it too!

And there you have it ... three things about us ... with a couple of bonus ones.
I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Halloween 2016

by Whitney Pegram - Wednesday, November 16, 2016

I'm still trying to play catch up & thought Halloween deserved a post of it's own so today I am sharing all things Halloween with you ... which is weird as I sit here next to my Christmas tree while listening to Christmas music ... & watching a movie on Hallmark :).

Our Halloween festivities actually started the weekend before Halloween with Coop's school Fall festival . . .

Oh these two.
They crack me up!

Millie Jo & her best buddy, Berk Berk :).

Coop talked about doing the cake walk all week long & the little stinker won the very first time he played. And of course he picked the one with the most cupcakes ... because why not!?!

Since I am on the PTO & the PTO are the ones who are over the Fall Festival, I was sort of all over the place so my sweet sister & mother-in-love came & walked around with my kiddos! I am SO thankful for them. I couldn't have gotten through the night without them.

Every year our friends, the Livingstons, throw a Halloween party. We look forward to it every year! And my kiddos talk about this party for days & days afterwards :).

Halloween on a Monday!?! Boo.

I think we can all agree that we like it much better when it's on a weekend!

But I love these two so much.

Halloween night we headed to a church Fall festival.

I think I told you last year that our neighborhood is known for the trick or treating around our town ... I'm talking if you leave you may not get back into the neighborhood until everyone is finished! It's insane. But we left anyway & it ONLY took us 20 minutes to get back INTO the neighborhood after the festival ;).

My sweet Shopkin Cupcake Princess & cool Carolina Panther football player ready to play games & get lots of candy!

Grammy went with us & I am so glad she did because there were TONS of people there!

And Dan met us there.
These two love their daddy!

Look how beautiful the sky was later that evening!

All the puffy hearts!

Once we got back home it was only about 8:30 & there were still people out trick or treating so we walked our street & the kids got loaded up with candy because people were ready to stop & were just trying to get rid of it! I mean, that is the way to trick or treat! Only walking to a hand full of houses & still getting tons of candy!?! Yes, please.

And that was our Halloween!
This is always a holiday we look so forward to. It's just so much fun!
