Fall Break!

Last weekend I did the dreaded chore of organizing Suzy’s baby clothes that were in the attic. As Suzy would outgrow stuff I would just make piles of it around the house or put the clothes in random boxes, because I was too impatient to actually look for the box they actually belonged in. So, needless to say her clothes were a mess. I started looking for her box of 4T winter stuff from last year in hopes that something would fit her. After searching through the mess in several boxes I decided it was time for a clothes organizing party. Good gracious, what a job! As Suzy would grow out of her stuff I would sell a lot of it on Facebook. Everyone would gripe at me for doing it because they said I should save it for her or her siblings. Since I hadn’t planned on anymore kiddos, I sold what was not important to me. I kept the things that were sentimental, but parted with the rest. I think all the folks that griped at me should see the picture of what I did keep…. This should make you all happy… See, I didn’t sell everything! If I have a baby girl, I shouldn’t need much, should I?

This isn't even all of it... It's ridiculous the stuff we have! 

Thank gosh our school system recognizes the Fall Break “holiday”. By the time it rolls around all the teachers and kiddos at SMS are like zombies. It is definitely a highly popular holiday in my book. This year we were out October 12 and 13. Suzy’s school also has their break the same days. We usually try to do something fun when we are out of school together. We planned on going to the beach, but I checked the weather for Gulf Shores and the temps looked a little chilly for Sue to enjoy. We decided to cancel those plans. We thought about the aquarium, as well, but nothing seemed to play out. I talked to Suzy Sunday night and she decided that she wanted to go to the zoo. So Monday morning we loaded up and headed to the zoo. I believe we always end up doing a zoo trip during Fall Break. The weather was warm, but not too warm. It was busy, but not too busy. It was a great day for the zoo! Gigi, Suzy, Mimi, and I tacked the adventure together. This year her favorite animal was the giraffe. She always loves seeing the farm animals, too.

We stopped by Chik Fil A for lunch before going to the zoo. They had this cute little scene set up right inside the door.

Oh the pounds are already packing on..... But, Sue sure does look cute!

Totally wasted our money to feed the stingrays. Suzy was not impressed at all.

This is what I feel like sometimes. 

So hard to believe this was two years ago!

She has grown up so much.
