A Busy Couple of Days

We've have been super busy around the Hayman House the last couple of days. Tuesday night we went out to dinner with some friends of our, Crystal and Cassidy. We went to Mexican of course and there was the funniest Mariachi band playing. They came over to us and played a couple of songs. They meandered their way through the other diner's and came back to us again. At this point I was trying to get Brody to sleep and they weren't going away without more one song. So I asked them to play a lullaby and they said "Si, Si". The next thing I know I hear, " La, La, La, LaBamba!" Not exactly the lullaby I was picturing. Needless to say Brody did not go to sleep!

Here are some pictures of Crystal and Brody. Brody wanted to play too!

Wednesday, Michael and I went up to the school to work in my classroom. After about 4 hours of moving bookcases, tables, anything else you can think of from a Kindergarten classroom, we were EXHAUSTED! Then we found out that they had hired a moving company to move everything for us the next day. UGH! But it gave me a chance to start rearranging things and I felt like we accomplished a pretty good amount. I'll post pictures of before and after later.

After we left school, I rushed home to pack clothes for me and Brody. We learned Tuesday night that Crystal had an interview in Saucier,MS (We had so much fun learning how to say that word...So Shu...short u on the end, which of course killed us teachers who were pronouncing it sauce ier like it had too much sauce on it. That's how its phonetically pronounced!)So I decided that would be the perfect opportunity for me to see my grandparents in Long Beach. After packing, I had to get me and Brody ready for pictures. We were taking family pictures at 5:30 and then leaving from there to pick up Crystal. (I know, how much more could I have packed into this day?) On our way to take pictures, Dawn, the photographer called and said it was pouring and we would have to reschedule. We were going to take them out at Reunion. So hopefully the third time is the charm with these pictures.

Actually by this point, I was thinking, "Now we can get on the road a lot sooner." Not even close! Crystal was getting ready so I decided to stop by my parent's and feed Brody. I think by the time we actually got on the road it was around 7:00. We made one stop in Hattiesburg to pick up my sister and got to Long Beach around 10:00. Of course Brody was wide awake and didn't go to sleep until around 1:00. He just kicked around and played in his pack and play.

Okay, now I've gotten you up to Thursday. We visited with my grandparents; I'm so mad I didn't get any pictures! Later that afternoon, on the way out, we stopped by Christie's house. They are redoing it and its looks amazing! Again, no pictures, sorry! She has painted their living room a really pretty green and her cabinets in the kitchen are a dark brown. I love it! I can't wait to see the whole thing when its finished! Brody loved Christie, as I knew he would. I'm so glad he's warm to strangers. I hope that doesn't go away. He doesn't care who's holding him as long as he's getting some attention. Completely spoiled, I know!

Lauren took some cute pictures of Brody on the ride home.

This picture was actually on the way down to the coast, Wednesday night.
