Yeah we're comin'.... to your citay!

We had a pretty fun weekend... on Friday afternoon, we decided to go to Charleston to visit other Heather and her mom because her mom wanted to see the babies and I hadn't seen Heath's house since she moved in. It was a really nice drive up there and the babies were great. We drove thru the Chick-Fil-A to get some lunch and there was these vines that had grown up the wall of the building and had sprouted these BEAUTIFUL flowers on them. Luckily, I was dorking around with the camera as we drove up and Brent managed to take a quick picture. We have no idea what kind of flower it was but wow, it was just stunning and it's not everyday that I actually take time to look at a flower. I have the worst black-thumb on the planet!


We saw Heath and her mom and it was a nice little visit. We started to drive home but since the kids were being so great we braved downtown during rush hour because I was dying to go to Talbot's Kids and it's the closest one around. After that, we headed to Mt. Pleasant to visit Ape who had two friends in town that were trying out for American Idol. They both sang for us while we were there and one of the girls was so good that I got goosebumps listening to her. I was sure she had an honest shot at making it to a second round but neither of them ended up making the cut. They said that the only people that got through were really crusty people that were weird and sang horrible. I guess they were gathering those wackos for the funny portion of the tryouts. Anyway, Saturday we took the kids to have their pictures taken and neither of the kids would give up a smile. I was so bummed because they have the most precious little smiles, but they were too weirded out by the goofy people working there and just ended up looking freaked out in all the shots. We don't have the pictures back yet, but I will be sure to post them as soon as we pick them up. Today we tooled around at Sam's and ran a couple other errands. It's starting to look like fall outside a little (although it definately still feels like the hottest part of summer). T minus 10 days until college football starts again! Thank the Lord! Saturdays will be blissful once again!

P.S. - I'm going to kick your ass in pick 'em this year, Pops!
