a couple of days with mimi.

sk loves for her mimi to come to visit. they are pals. i'm grateful that her mimi is so willing to come and help out when we need her. she came up wednesday. she and sk left for atlanta bread shortly after she arrived but not before sk got a big surprise....buzz lightyear!!! this was super exciting! sk got woody for christmas and had been wanting a buzz, too. while mimi, sk, and buzz were at dinner and taking baths and going to bed, trey and i went to our ash wednesday service at church and then we went out to dinner. baby hayes really enjoyed the service. i felt he/she lightly fluttering and thumping around quite a bit! and there is no way he/she didn't enjoy our dinner! i had a pear, goat cheese and arugula pizza with white truffle oil. it was delish!!

the next morning before school, sk and mimi were watching mickey mouse clubhouse together. i needed to make sure sk knew that she'd get to see mimi after school and that she wasn't leaving! i said, "sk, when mimi and i pick you up from school we are all going to go out to lunch together. where would you like to go?" she thought and thought and then looked up at mimi and said, "um...how about DISNEY WORLD!" made us laugh! second choice was poe's so after school we went over to sullivan's where the weather was beautiful and perfect for sitting outside. a great day for lunch at the beach for sure! buzz came along and had his own chair.

we continued to enjoy the nice weather when we got home. we played in the yard and blew bubbles, got the giggles, and such.....

yesterday afternoon mimi and sk went out for frozen yogurt while i went to the grocery store. sk got her usual vanilla with sprinkles and mom said she ate every bite. that yobe yogurt really is good - and it's all organic and fat free so that's a plus. i'm thinking it's certainly not sugar free though so i am on a yobe strike, although i may allow myself to have a treat on sundays....haven't decided yet.
thursday night was trey's rotary gala. it was downtown at the francis marion hotel this year. we go and eat and then there is a silent and live auction. trey and i bid on a painting but were outbid so we just enjoyed watching all the other people spend their money=) it was a good time and we always enjoy going. when we left the house sk and mimi were having dinner. i hate to even type this out for fear that it will change, but mimi said that she finished all of her green peas. the day before at lunch time she asked for a second helping of her peas. this is a big deal for my anti-green girl!! she still gets a smoothie everyday packed with spinach so she isn't without her greens, but i'd like for her to enjoy her green food on her plate! anyway, i have been proud of her for enjoying those little yucky peas.

a pic of trey and i on our way out. sk said she wanted to go to the gala with us. mimi said, "oh, there will only be adults there and it really won't be any fun." and sk said, "they will have fun together, mimi!!" it was so cute....she wanted us to have fun!


sk had the giggles at dinner....she decided that playing with mimi was alot more fun than going to a silly old people gala with mommy and daddy;)

what a great couple of days we had! sk was in heaven. she was very sad to see mimi leave this morning, but since mimi is coming back on monday we were able to tell sk that she'd be right back and it made it much better. my mom is going to come up on monday and spend the night with us and keep sarah kate tuesday afternoon for a couple of hours while trey and i go to our big 20 week appointment! we will get to see our sweet (and growing) baby and find out pink or blue! can't wait.....4 more days!

thanks for coming, mimi! thanks for always taking such good care of our girl. and thanks for bringing buzz. sarah kate has made up a little song today that goes, "i love mimi, i love mimi, i love mimi so much!" she kind of yells/sings it. so she'll be anxiously awaiting your arrival on monday!!!
