This & That Thursday

Yeeeehaw! It is Thursday.

I wasn’t really sure about doing a T&T Thursday as we charge into Team-Up Thursday today, but I really do like my little download post for the week. It lets me get all my thoughts and photos of the week documented and out here on the blog. Maybe I’ll just move it to Friday. Kinda makes more sense. But, since I’m writing it now, and it is going to be Thursday in a few minutes, I guess we get one more T&T Thursday.

So updates to earlier happenings…

The storm ended, and we had a sun-filled, peaceful weekend along with some really pretty views.

The sunsets have been incredible this week and I am always without my camera. You’d think I’d learn, but no.

We, and half of our neighborhood, hit the park this weekend for some fresh air. This is Addie’s little friend, Jessie. She is the cutest! My girls could care less that I’m in their face with the camera and she is just hamming it up in every photo.

Let’s see…what else is up with the buttercups?

Addikins is out of her mind with excitement. She pretty much sounds like this…

“OHMYPEAS!ONTHISDAY?WHENAREWEGOINGTOSEEMARYPOPPINS?ANDTHENEJISGOINGTOCOMETOOURHOUSEFORA
SLEEPOVERANDAFTERTHATI’MGOINGTOGOTOHERHOUSEFORASLEEPOVER!”

Translation: We get to go see Mary Poppins, the Musical with EJ (BFF, remember!) and her mom, B. on Friday.

And then we are having EJ over for a sleepover this weekend so her Mommy can go visit EJ’s Nana (please think good thoughts for B.’s mom – she is in the fight of her life, working on kicking cancer!). And THEN, the next weekend, Addie is going to stay at EJ’s while this Mommy travels down to Miami to the SuperBowl.

YEAH! THIS Mommy. Me.

My lovely friend B. is taking Addie, and my other lovely friend Jamie is taking Em for the weekend so I get to go hang with J. and see the Colts win a SuperBowl. (You heard it here first. Well, maybe not first…but you did hear it here!)

So besides getting to see the SuperBowl, I also get TWO six-hour plane rides. By myself. Do you have any idea what a treat that is? A big coffee. My iPod. A few magazines. A few books. And nobody asking for snacks, the DVD player, crayons, bubblegum…oh. I can hardly wait.

I mean…oh, I’m going to miss my girlies so very much! Yes. That is what I mean.

Emmy decided tonight that we really had to try to take a photo for Daddy (he is already in Miami) because “he is going to be gone for so long (two weeks) and he might need a new photo of his girls.” (Because he doesn’t have 20,000 photos already!) So she decided to try to take a few, and she snapped this.

You don’t even need to ask me how much I love that photo, do you?
But we need to try again on the timer photo of the three of us…

Gee…do we all have the same cheesy smile? Yes. Yes, we do.

I’d love a copy of the last one. I think it’s great! Love you-

Aw, sweetness! Enjoy the time away. I can’t imagine what it would be like to fly with no one to take care of but myself. I might just end up talking to myself, constantly saying things like, “Do you need a blanket?”, “Are you feeling sick?”, “Do you want to color?”, “How about some water?” Enjoy it!

Ditto on Meesh!! I HAVE to have that last picture. I loved that newsy “catch up with the Voris’ girls” blog today. And you are right on about the Colts — whether you said it first or not! I hope you and James will have a GREAT week-end watching them win — and any other little thing you may find to do to amuse your “girl-less” selves! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that you are finally in some. what a great shot.
Enjoy your day

All caught up! I guess I’ll just be able to catch up with you every 3 weeks while I’m at the hospital (or this gives me a good excuse to escape to a coffee house). Anyway, I love that picture of you and A. it’s adorable! I’m so glad to hear that you get to go to the superbowl this year, I’ll look for you in the crowd when I’m watching it on TV.

That last photo is awesome and I think it is incredibly sweet that you all have the same adorable smile.

I think it is hysterical that the plane ride is one of your favorite parts of the trip! I would be saying the same thing! LOL!

And, yep, you do have the exact smile – but it’s a great one!

Love the pics… would also love a copy…

I love your T&T Thursdays but if you moved to Friday, I might join you….if I can get my act together

Oh my gravy…..a plane ride with just….you???? Ahhh, so very nice. Enjoy it all and yes, GO COLTS!!

No requests for prints from here, I printed my own thank you very much.

The ones of you and the girls really are keepers tho’, so we’re going to do just that.

Ahh, about that plane ride that you are looking FORWARD to?? Whose kid are you anyway?

Have fun, Love

Dad

Alert! Alert! Photos of Carrie! Photos of Carrie! You should totally do a selfie 365 my pretty friend.

I’m glad you’re still going to be doing your t&t posts. I enjoy those most. (Is that weird?) And 12 hours of peace and quiet? I wouldn’t know how to handle myself. I hope you have a blast!
