Monday, October 6th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella slept in because she was on fall break. I enjoyed a super slow morning. I did a few things around the house and washed our sheets. Eventually I went to Publix to get the stuff to make spaghetti for dinner. Ben played golf after work, Ella went to Young Life,  and Ian went to Kathryn's for the night. 

Trixie and I enjoyed a pretty lazy day and it was nice.

I made a creamy chicken soup for dinner and it was delicious. Ella went to Athens for campaigners. I cleaned up the kitchen, showered, got in my pjs, and curled up to watch DWTS by myself. Well Ella got home for the last hour.

Ian to work, Ben to the office, and coffee and Jesus for me. Ella slept in and then we got ready. We headed to Legend's for lunch and for Ella to play 9 holes. 

We got home and soon after Ian got home. The kids went to Target and look what Ian brought Ella for her birthday! 

He is the best!! 

The kids picked me up CFA for dinner! The kids were not hungry. I ate dinner while Ella started the legos. 

Ben had a dinner meeting. Ella went to see LB since she had gotten her wisdom teeth out that morning. Once everyone was home, we all crashed.

I headed home while Ella and Grammy stopped by Ben's office. I got home and started cooking dinner. Ella wanted mexican to celebrate her birthday with Grammy and Chris. 

Once everyone got to the house, we ate dinner. Then it was time to sing to the birthday girl with her doughnut "cake"! 

Ella also finished her lego set! 

I got the kitchen cleaned up and crashed. 

Friday, October 10th- Ella's 18th Birthday. 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, and coffee and Jesus for me. Ella and I got ready and we headed to paint pottery with my mom! We had SO MUCH FUN! 

HOW?? 

When we got home, I chilled before dinner and look who joined me! 

Love these 2! 

Later that evening, we went to Ninja to celebrate the birthday girl. 

Later that night, all the girls came to spend the night at the house and chilled on the back deck! So I needed to snap a picture!! 

I sat on the couch and went down memory lane. 

The Birthday girls. Ella was born on my Maw-Maw's 74th birthday. We miss her so much. 

Her proud big brother with Noah and Shannon! 

Her 7th Birthday we spent at Disney. 

Once the girls came inside, we all went to bed around midnight. 

Saturday, October 11th- 

Ben to Legend's and Ian went to play golf with Chris. Coffee and Jesus for me. The girls slowly woke up and eventually headed home. Ella had to take LB home since she still couldn't drive from having her wisdom teeth removed. 

I worked on setting up my planner for the next week and did laundry. I put chili in the crockpot and made 2 appetizers to enjoy while everyone was getting home and we were watching football. 

Trixie was enjoying a beautiful Saturday "sunning" on the back deck. 

Ella went to celebrate Aubrey's birthday with some of the girls. Grammy came to the house to watch the GA game. 

We put the TV on the back deck. Y'all that first half of the game. Oh My Goodness. 

Little cat from next door came to hang out with us and she always curls up next to Ben. He is highly allergic to cats and I swear she knows. 😆😆

Trixie enjoyed the game outside with us wrapped up in a blanket! HA 

Once the game was over, we cleaned up outside, Grammy headed home, and we all headed to bed. Ella ended up coming home and got home right before midnight. 

Sunday, October 12th- 

Ben headed to Legend's. The rest of us slept in. I did watch church online. Ian and Kathryn ended up going shopping. I got busy cleaning the whole house and laundry. Ben got home, ate lunch, napped, and watched football. Ella went to a football game and dinner with friends. Ian went to PGA and once he got home, him and Ben went to Legend's to play 9 holes because Ian wanted to use his new putter. 

I hopped in the shower to clean it and take an everything shower. I put on my pj's and enjoyed a quiet house and read. 

Ella sent me this picture...

She had a great afternoon. 

We ate leftover chili and 7 layer dip for dinner. We did all crash early because it was back to the grind on Monday!
