Mobile Monday!

 Mobile Monday!
It's been an exciting week in the Burris household. I really don't think there honestly ever really IS a dull moment. Keeps life exciting, right?

These girls LOVE to brush their teeth!

While Daddy was out of town this past weekend we took a girls trip to the Zoo!

Hooray for snack time!

Picnic lunch in the living room while it rained outside - watching Tangled!

I promise I really do dress the girls and comb their hair ... I know you can't tell from most of these pictures...

No really, I PROMISE I dress them normal.....

Guys camping trip weekend!

Sweet girls happy after school!

This girl cracks me up

Getting ready for Zoo Boo!

The only picture I took while we were there - Ava got to fly an airplane!

This next week will be pretty eventful as well - Wednesday my Mom is coming in town and the girls get some shots on Thursday. Now THAT will be a fun day. There is a 'Holiday Market' in downtown Memphis so you KNOW my Mom and I are checking it out this weekend :)

Mobile Monday 2.0

Ok so maybe there isn't really a 2.0 update to my Mobile Monday (besides the fact that I'm actually doing Mobile Monday again)...it just sounded pretty cool.

Here's what we've been up to lately!

Trip to the zoo! Isn't that just the sweetest face and pose?!

At least they are both kind of looking at the camera for this one.

Lexi loves the chickens - one of the most wild animals at the zoo....

Snack break!

Non-stop talker right there.

Trying out the new sit-n-stand-like stroller for the first time! (it was GREAT)

The polar bear was swimming RIGHT beside the glass! You can see him getting a fish in this picture.

This isn't anything too special, I just had a proud mommy-moment when I got the idea to refrigerate the Jello INSIDE the container for lunch. Yess.

This. Is. Genius. A special shout-out thank you to my deal friend Pinterest for this idea. They can't bother each other, they can't draw on anything they aren't suppose to, and they LOVE it!

Pumpkin patch day! They absolutely loved riding this 'train' around. They both stayed in it the entire time.

Choo-choo!

3 ft and 2.5 ft! (And both smiling!)

See, you KNOW they loved this place since we got more than one picture with both of them smiling. Granted, I did have to take about 20 to get just one, but hey. It worked.

Squishy faces!

Here's their pumpkin picks.

Ava has carried her pumpkin around like a baby ever since she got it. She adores it.

Loading up for the car!

Poopaw took us to a mexican ice cream shop that was DELICIOUS.

Lexi loved to lick.

See how informed you are now? 2.0 seems fitting after all. This upcoming weekend it's me home alone with the girls so there may not be too many interesting pictures since we will basically be in 'survival mode' but we shall see!

The Blog is Back - ALRIGHT!

For those of you who did not grow up in the 90's, the title is a tribute to the talented boy band The Backstreet Boys. Loved them.
Anyway - I'm back! My entire life is organized. Everything has a place, my kids are perfectly well behaved, I'm no longer stressed about anything, my house is 100% clean all the time, and I fix home cooked meals every day of the week.

How did I accomplish all of this you ask?

Easy.



I lied about it :)

No, my entire life is not perfectly organized. However, there have been lots of changes in our life lately that will now allow me to start keeping everyone informed again! *hooray!*

What changes? Well, we no longer live in Alabama. Huge life change in itself. I no longer work with my Dad - another life change. Chad no longer works on commission or tips or any other non-budgetable payment like that (thank goodness!). The girls have started a mother's day out program (*tear!*). And many more.

One of the biggest changes, and the reason I'm able to do this blog now, is that .... ready?.....I get a lunch break! Yes. A real one-hour-to-myself lunch break. Not a 5 minute shove your lunch down your throat break, not a lunch break where you really have to work through it, a REAL lunch break. I've never had this before! I know this is a normal thing for most people, but it is my first time and I love it! I can sit and do absolutely nothing. I can nap. I can watch a TV show. I can eat my LUNCH! And most importantly for you, I can blog!

SO be prepared for Mobile Mondays, updates on the girls, updates on our lives, updates all around!


The Burris' are back!
