Silly Goose
We were headed through Fairhope this past week and decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather. Hampton loves the ducks and geese at the bayfront park, so we thought we'd swing by and see if they were there. There weren't any ducks, but there were lots of Canadian geese lounging around. Hampton was determined to get to those geese....even while they were munching on bread! We thought that was probably a good way to get bitten, so we said "bye" to the geese and diverted Hamp's attention to the beach instead!

King Of The Footrest
Hampton really felt like he'd accomplished something by conquering the footrest over at Bob & Randi's house. He pushed the cushion off, climbed on it, stood up.......and then what? He couldn't figure out how to get down! So, instead he just stomped around on it putting on a show until one of us came and got him down. No wonder he liked it....it was part jungle gym, part mini-stage. And we all know Hampton loves an audience!Tuesday
Out With The Old....
Sadly, January means it's that time again. Time to pack away all of the clothes that Hampton has outgrown and the memories that go with them. Tanner does not enjoy this chore, but it has to be done! So this past week, we tackled it. Hampton was quite the "helper", especially when he saw his Halloween costume! He loves that thing, and so he promptly pulled the head out and drug it around the house. Eventually, we wrangled it back and quickly packed it away. At least there is one good thing about making room in the closet.......there's plenty of room for new Spring & Summer outfits!

Weekend Update
We were able to enjoy the sunshine this weekend and get outside just a bit as we ran and did our to-dos.
Saturday morning, we headed straight to Publix to snap up the cereal deals. It's always so much fun to see how much we can save at Publix....this week we only spent $19 for right at $76 worth of groceries! Anyway, we just happened to run in to Grandi and Granddaddy while we were there, and we made plans to have a yummy pizza lunch later in the day. That way, we could visit while Hamp went outside and played....which he enjoyed thoroughly. Of course, we were so busy having fun that Tanner completely forgot about the kids clothing party she'd been invited to that day.....oops!
Sunday, we were the substitute teachers for 5th and 6th grade Sunday School, and we were very happy with how well it went. It was so funny to see how much quieter they were than the 1st & 2nd graders Tanner teaches on Wednesday night! Afterwards, we headed up to the outlets to swap out some shoes, and of course, pick up Hampton a new pair, too. He is just growing way too fast for our liking! We swung by our house to pick up some play clothes, then grabbed some drive-thru as we went up to Paul's house. He needed a little help on a project, and we thought he'd enjoy a little Hampton break. As always, Hampton had a great time playing with the fun things in the yard and with Grandpa. We were happy that it had warmed up to be a beautiful day. Once we got home, we got to visit with our neighbors, who we hadn't seen in a while. They are so fun, so we love chatting with them.
Of course, we may have saved the best for last......Sunday afternoon, we booked our Howard family vacation to Myrtle Beach! We're really looking forward to seeing everyone and can't wait until May.
