Here are some pics from the shower, it was so odd having everything blue!!!
I am off to get Mo and Lu bathed and in bed. It's beyond bedtime around here.
Theresa the girls looked like true sisters in the last photo
Robyn I'm glad the shower was a success. The Mom to be appears to need a little sleep though, she has some serious dark circlesDid she get everything that she needed?
Theresa - I hope the girls had fun at their recital!
Robyn - It looks like your sister got some nice things. Is your niece excited?
Hi! Busy day here. Lots of running around shopping. I've got Nicholas' bedroom furniture all picked out. It's actually different than what I posted and I found a good price (I think) at a local store. Tomorrow I'm going to call a few other places and then order it from whomever gives me the best deal. We had a party to go to for dinner, burgers and dogs on the grill. It was nice to socialize with some friends I haven't seen in awhile. The kids were exhausted from all the running around and playing. I can't believe the weekend is over already.
We drove past Elin's music school twice today. She was all decked out in her Christmas lights headband. I wish I would have thought to snap a picture with my phone. The kids got a kick out of it.
Theresa - the girls looked lovely.
Robyn - I'm glad the party was a success. That cake looked AWF
ULLY chocolatety! MMmmm!
for a good deal.You don't have to share what is bothering you, Robyn. Just know you can come here and talk it out when you need to.
for a great trip, sorry that it ended with your luggage being lost. Hope it's found quickly. How fortunate are we that we can't think of anything we need or even particularly want for Christmas? We are a very lucky bunch!
Theresa & Robyn thanks for sharing your pictures!
Tammi glad you found the furniture you want for Nicholas room.
Deb
Elin I hope the motrin helps your back, my whole body is aching right now.
Jen glad you made it home safely, hope your luggage shows up soon
Becky I wold love to meet you if you decide to go in March
Work went by pretty quickly tonight, thank goodness! I need to get some sleep, morning will come to early.
We're off to the eye doctor's for Hunter. Maybe we'll discover the root of his headachesI am working at 4 tonight too. The school called this morning even though I had told them that I couldn't sub today or tomorrow. It would have been fun too, I could have been the PE teacher.
Oh well, I'm just glad that opportunities keep presenting themself.
Have a great day.
Good morning, DDA!
Ugh. I am tired. DH is off today so I didn't get the bed all to myself from 2 AM - 6:30 AM like I usually do. DH was up at 4:50 to use the restroom but he didn't stay up. When he got back in bed he was yanking the covers, the cats got all wound up, he was trying to get them to be quiet and he was making more noise than they were!
I would have moved to the couch if I had enough energy. It's going to be a long day.
that the day flies by!!
Laura wants one of those.
Theresa - I hope the girls had fun at their recital!
Robyn - It looks like your sister got some nice things. Is your niece excited?
Deb - The cat might need to go to the vet. When Alley would wet on things sometimes it was because she had an infection. As she got older she would do it just because she wanted to.Once we got to that point we never knew where she was going to pee next - that was so frustrating.
Oh, and I have read that rubbing a pet's face inthe mess never works, regardless of species. They don't have the ability to connect the 2 events - they don't comprehend that you are rubbing their face in the mess as a punishment for the mess being in an inappropriate place.
Thanks Tammi... I did... as you probably noticed when you drove past twice today. Were you guys stalking me????
Not one child noticed! Or they never said they did.One parent commented on my makeup (same as always) and another on the longer length (I haven't seen her in a few months). One Mom came up to me and said, "I have been looking at your hair all afternoon and I am SO glad you did away with the highlights and just went with the wine color. I LOVE it!"
So, it will stay for a while until I live with it a bit. I actually liked it better when I looked in the mirror this morning. It is starting to grow on me.

I think they will be fine with it. Disappointed, yes, but they will adapt to the idea, especially knowing that they are going in August. I feel strongly that kids need to learn how to deal with disappointment, and know that there are things that don't or can't have. Even in one's own family. One child may not get what the other child gets, and vice versa. I try to make mine focus on what THEY GET, not what OTHERS get. And having Mom and Dad go to WDW ONE TIME without them, in the grand scheme of life, isn't that bad. Like in Bernadette's family, where she takes one child. I'm sure it's hard for the others to say goodbye but they know their time will come. I think that is wonderful. I'm hoping to be able to do that someday. So I think this is good for your boys, Janet, as well as good for you and Gary.They will be staying with grandma
Our temperatures have certainly dropped. Highs this week in the low to mid forties with below freezing at nightWe could even have snow flurries. I guess we may really find out how that furnace works.
It's 35 outside now, and the house has dropped from 72 to 68. I'm thinking of turning into a bear and hibernating for the winter.
As promised... a few photos from yesterday's festivities.
It was not supposed to get out of the 50s yesterday so we were all layered up and looking like little kids going out to play in a snowstorm
Good Morning all.
Well, their not trip pics yet, but I did upload some things this morning....
Terra's perfect pumpkin (it had to be just right for her vision, you know)
Pumpkin carving - "I can do it, Mom."
The finished product - a bat and the full moon
Swimming lessons
Dance class
I love her pumpkin.
I was just checking or forecast & it is only 16 degrees outLooks like it is going to warm up some this week though & be up to the 50's by Friday!

No one there likes to return phone calls therefore making it impossible to get anything done.
