the cole family: the coles month

well we are in full on school mode now after our official first week. airey is going 5...Y E S...5 days a week now. i can . not. believe. it. How has my lil man grown into a full time school boy already? He is just loving it too. Mrs. Nicole is so sweet and he actually has his assistant teacher form last year Ms. Angela who he loves..{and side bar she was a fighting okra, so you know she IS good}. Campbell is in 3K now and has Airey's old class room and he thinks that is just the BEST because he use to beg to go into Braa, Braa's class room. Oh course i tried to prepare Clair how different they were, but i think it still surprised her just how much...First day he had a major meltdown {over scheduling conflicts} he wanted lunch 30 min before lunch time and essentially he cried until i picked him up at 2:30...hehe....gotta love his little dramatic heart. This week has been better, only slight meltdowns....meltdowns non the less...but we are hoping he gets acclimated to a REAL schedule. I have really enjoyed the one on one time we have on Monday ,wednesday and friday.He is my lil running buddy. Im so excited to have this time with him and have him realize that he can choose things to be into and not have to copy everything airey does, so im anxious to see.....

Airey started soccer this year and our very own Daddy a.k.a Coach Cole is his coach. We had the first practice this Saturday and he was ALL over it. He is so sports obsessed and jumped right in. Cant wait for the 1st game. Campbell stood sideline begging to get in so we may have to look into signing him up sooner rather than later.

Also We have been super busy the last month: I had my girls weekend in Nashville and it was U B E R fun and no short of gossip, shopping and wine...a girls favorite things. We tried all the yummy restaurants and even slept in, ordered a pizza and pay per view Bridesmaids...I have to be honest it was the 1st time i can remember getting thru one whole cup of coffee before it getting cold {re-heated in the microwave, my daily ritual}. Props to my hubby for taking great care of the boys.

Roger had his turn the next weekend for his guys trip to Pickwick with all his high school buddies...as im sure you know they don't really tell us what they do but the gist is: poker, beer, poker,beer,lake,beer, poker, movies,lake,beer and oh did i mention beer and poker? anywho, they had a great time catching up because they come from literally all over the country and its great for them all to get together and talk about how much they miss their wives of course ;) ....all of us{wives} did confer and we all got flowers out of the deal...so not bad :)

In bigger weekend news August 14th Campbell turned 3! We had a pirate themed par-tay for all his buddies at the YMCA pool and boy they had a blast! Its so great to see them all swimming around, joking and actually playing with each other now :) Campbell loved all his pirate themed everything...and ate 1,247 cookies in one day plus 34 cupcakes. He had a sugar high like i have N E V E R seen. We are so proud of our TWO big boys now and the next chapter of no babies and big kids.. so far so good. We love our boys and they love each other....life is good! Until next time
