So, Ive been out of town....

I just got back in town yesterday.  I left Sunday to go to Baton Rouge for a conference/training.  I missed my family, but Caleb did AWESOME!!  He's just a great dad.  So blessed to have him!

I have a couple of contract jobs that I do.  One is for Pine Hills Child Advocacy Center.  I am a forensic interviewer, which means I interview kids that have been sexually abused/assaulted and/or physically abused.  I have been doing this since 2006.  On Monday and Tuesday morning an expert in the field came to Baton Rouge to train interviewers from across the state.  The training was really good.  I think I have conditioned myself to not let what I hear/see bother me.  We had to watch some interviews from my peers and watch one the trainer brought.  WOW!!!  It was really tough.  Especially seeing interviews of children that are the same age as my kids.....REALLY TOUGH!

That was followed by 3 hours of ethics training!!  BORING!  How do you make that interesting??!!

I decided that since I would not be at work M-T-W why should I go Thursday or Friday??  Friday the kids get out of school early, so we will have the afternoon to play.  This morning Abby's class went to the Townsend House pumpkin patch and then to the Arbor Assisted Living facility to sing and I tagged along.  Fun times!  I"ve included a couple of pictures of the field trip.

Not Much to Report....

We have had a quiet weekend.  I didn't get my camera out at all!  Friday night we cleaned house (woohoo!).  Saturday we just hung out around the house.  That night Caleb and I had a party to go to for one of his friends that recently got married, so the girls stayed home with Allyson, the babysitter.  Sunday, we went to church.  After church, Caleb watched the Saints and the girls and I, along with Andrew and his girls and mom, went to Hillcrest for the kids to play.  Sunday evening, Audrey had Sophia over for a couple of hours to play.  Caleb grilled burgers and then we went to Eskimoe's for a treat.  It was a nice, quiet weekend.

 I know it is hard to see.  I took this with my phone.  Each girl took a baby to Eskimoe's and Sophia wore Audrey's sling just for fun.  Silly girls!

Hope you have a great week!

The Weekend so far....

I am going to go ahead and blog about our weekend because I don't plan on doing anything blog-worthy from now until bedtime on Sunday.  Well, actually we will attend the first service of our new church The Bridge, formerly Christ Community Church and Crossroads Church.  How cool is that??!! 

On Friday, we had Mary Hope over to spend the night.  The girls were very sweet and had fun.  Abby and MH did not want to go to sleep.  Such party animals!!

Playing the Wii

This is MH and Abby doing their "trick"

 

The weather was beautiful this morning!!  The girls spent most of the morning outside playing.  For some odd reason, they love to hang out in the back of my truck.  They crack me up!!  This morning they spend some time coloring back there......

After their time in the back of the truck, they moved to the backyard, they along with some of their "friends" to do a little swinging........

We went to the movie Saturday afternoon.  The girls have been wanting to see "Dolphin Tale."  What a great movie!!!  We loved it.  I teared up several times!!  Audrey invited her friend Riley to come with us. They are so sweet together.  On the way to the movie and on the way home, they read poems from "Where the Sidewalks Ends".  So cute. 

Disclaimer:  I took this picture in the parking lot before starting the car!!

Saturday evening while the girls waiting on dinner, they sat outside with mini-pumpkins and decorated them with Sharpies.  The weather has been beautiful today.  We thought about going to the Tech game, but opted to just stay home and do a lot of nothing!!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

WEEKEND FUN

The weekend starting with Caleb and I going to the movie for his birthday on Friday.  Thanks to Ashley and Andrew for allowing the girls to spend the night.  We went to see "Drive".  I am surprised to say that I really enjoyed it.  It has a lot of violence, but I liked it and so did Caleb.  Being able to see Ryan Gosling on the screen was not too bad, either......

Saturday we just hung around the house and then went to a fish fry in West Monroe.  The Twin City Classic Chevy Club is a HUGE supporter of Med Camps and they are just sweet people.  They consider Caleb like family, so the 4 of us went and had a good time.  Earlier in the day, I took the girls to Wal Mart.  Audrey still had birthday money to spend and she decided she wanted a couple of CD's (ummmm...when did she get old enough to want to get CD's??).  Anyway, she got Disney's Shake it Up and Victorious.  Oh, the dancing that happened when we got home.  Try not to be alarmed.  Yes, I allowed them to dance on Audrey's bed (the sheets were being washed).  That's just the way it is around the Seney house.

Sunday we went to church.  Before leaving, I asked Caleb to take a few pictures of the girls.  Abby was dressed cute, so I needed to document it since her favorite thing now is to NOT be cute!!  She was less than thrilled to have her picture taken...

It really is a hard life for Abby.....Audrey, on the other hand was overly cooperative

After church, we went to Monroe to visit and eat lunch with LiLi.  We also went to see the Lion King in 3D with Aunt Ashley and Madeline.  Lots of fun!  Don't they look so Hollywood??!!

I took this picture with my phone, so the quality isn't too great.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEB

Yesterday was our anniversary and today is Caleb's birthday.  No, I wasn't trying to give him help to remember our anniversary, although I have heard that from many people.  I actually wanted to get married on October 6, but LSU and Florida were playing.  Enough said.  September 22 was the next possible for that worked for us.  Anywho......the point of this post is to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEB!!!  The girls and I love you bunches!!  I hope you have enjoyed your day.  One thing that should make you feel good about aging is that I will ALWAYS be older than you!! :)

10 YEARS

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY SWEET HUSBAND, CALEB!!  WOW, 10 YEARS!!  YOU ARE A KIND AND PATENT MAN TO PUT UP WITH ME!  LOVE YOU AND HAVE ENJOYED OUR DECADE OF MARRIED LIFE.  IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN EASY, BUT IT HAS BEEN INTERESTING AND FUN!!  THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME!

Love you, my handsome husband!!!!!

The Weekend....

We had a busy, but fun Saturday.  We went to the pep rally, went to tail gait and went to the football game.  Sunday we went to church and had pizza with Poppa and Honey.  The girls really enjoy the football games.  I am still a little bitter that Dad no longer has box seats that he and his family had for YEARS!!  More than anything I miss the parking pass!!  :)  I never really knew what it was to park and WALK...oh, well, it doesn't hurt us to walk.  Love you anyway, Dad!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend from things we did around the house.

Audrey and Abby doing their "trapeze tricks"

Caleb took the girls to the library Friday afternoon.  Audrey came home with 2 books and Abby 7!!  Audrey was being really sweet to Abby Saturday morning and reading to Abby.....

And, the girls made tie-dyed cupcakes on Sunday afternoon.  Audrey got the kit for her birthday and we finally took the time to bake them.  The girls had fun and loved their cupcakes.

I really hope the rest of the week is not as crazy as today has been......so busy (at work).  No fun!!  But, on a positive note, Abby went to her fist tumbling class tonight.  She told me "it was more than any other thing in the universe!" and the whole ride home she kept repeating "I am SO excited!!"
