Time Flies...

It feels like time is flying by as we get ready for Thanksgiving in A FEW DAYS!! We are going to try and have an at home day today and get caught up on schoolwork and work on our first Christmas craft. The boys get really into making ornaments for everyone and we do a new one each year. I am still searching for this year's but did find a cute way to make window clings so we are doing that today. The laundry has grown into mountains and with the mail holiday this week we have to stay caught up! So after running a few errands this morning we are off to get started! It is a beautiful day so we hope to spend some time outside too...

Sounds like too much to do in one day but we're gonna try...

Time to be Thankful...

So every Thanksgiving when we eat at my mom's everyone goes around the table and says what they are thankful for. Brian and I were talking about it last night as I think he likes to think of something out of the ordinary to shock everyone. He had me rolling on the floor last night laughing at some of the things he is thankful for. All I know is I love him with all my heart and I don't know what I would do without him! We can still spend hours talking like we could when we were dating and I still want to share everything with him.

My trip was good and it was nice to be missed. Brian cleaned the house of clutter and besides my initial reaction that he may have thrown away something I need... I haven't come across anything I can't find yet. I may have not been grateful enough. He took great care of the kids and did a fine job of Mr. Mom.

A Sad Day...

So of course we all got the stomach bug that is going around... I thought we might get lucky and Hunter would be the only one... BUT NO. We all got it and spent the entire weekend complaining about how awful we felt! Luckily it is only a 48 hr bug or so...

So the sad news of the day is one of the ferrets died. Jessica, our oldest ferret, was found in her cage this morning. It was very sad, for me anyways, and the boys seemed mildly bothered by it. We gave her a nice burial in the trash can.

I am excited about my trip this week... I'm hoping the boys will all be able to take care of each other...

The Universe is a little safer...

So Brian and the boys have been fighting to keep the universe safe from the Locust ever since Gears of War 2 came out on Thursday. Thanks to Ward at Microsoft we actually got it about 7 hrs early... He is Brian's all-time best friend now!!

We watched Addy on Thursday because the daycare thought she might be sick. Well, wouldn't you know it... Hunter started throwing up tonight. He is really bummed that he might miss his last soccer game tomorrow but I told him we'll see how he feels then. I HATE it when they are sick...

Not much else is new... Tomorrow the outdoor soccer season ends and we get a little bit of a break. I am going out of town next week so I need everyone to be well before I go... Start praying...

Our night away...

So for Brian's birthday I got him a night at the hotel where Kirk works... It is a beautiful place and we had a great time. This is the patio and our room was the bottom left with the door open...

and this was our view off the edge of the balcony of the patio...

Cutie Pie Cate...

We went to Dad's b-day party last week and Cate was so funny... Her faces are hilarious and Brian says that just makes him love her... He was really funny about her and it amazes me that he thinks she is cool... Of course, the boys can't get enough of her...

Halloween Pumpkins...

The kids did a really great job this year so I told them I would post their pictures of the pumpkins... They are ghosts...

OK... catch up time...

So it has been awhile since I was on because life gets crazy... I am going to post some pictures that have been stuck in my camera... Here is the lady who hit my jeep... that I still don't have back. They had to order a new hood and paint it and it was supposed to be done today but I'm doubting it...
