Fridays are always a little nutty at our house. I meant all day to pull together all my notes and get my next day plans posted for you all the read.. Well, that didn't happen. 
Fridays are one of two days where I get to use the car. On those days, Jon works nights so he is home during the day. Jon and I always try to have date day on Thursday since he less tired that day and stays up during the day. Most Thursday we go out to lunch... except lately we have been going out to lunch less and less and saving that money. So yesterday we spent our date time getting things together for Sunday!!!
Then on Friday, Jon gets home around 5:30 AM and I get the kids up and off to school. Then I head out to the post office (BTW, if you ordered a Brenda bracelet and your order DID NOT have Arial in it, it was sent today!), any errands and then the grocery store. I have to tell you, the grocery store is my least favorite thing to do. I ALWAYS go over budget... or at least often go over. I hate it. I am wondering how long Jon and I could live on Ramen Noodles... not the kids, just us.
So today was especially busy. I am not sure if I mentioned this before and I am too lazy to go back and find out, but I am a Girl Scout Troop leader for a Brownie troop. I have 15 girls and I love them dearly. So next weekend I am taking all 15 CAMPING!!! Now, let me tell you, I am not the outdoorsy type. Just the thought of me in the outdoors has me about ready to pee my pants! So today, I had to go get some of the craft things for the coming weekend. And quite honestly, I am praying for rain! We'll still go but it will be all indoor fun! 
I do already have a TON of indoor things planned but I would be ok staying in our lodge all weekend! The girls have 3 MAJOR community service projects they will be working on. First, they will be making 150-200 Christmas Tree Ornaments to mail to the Troops. Next, the are making 50-75 bracelets (much like the ones Brenda makes) for the Children's Hospital where Gavin goes. Last, they will be making 4 (YES, 4) tie fleece blankets for an organization called Blankete in Hope. Gavin has been a recipient of one of their blankets for Children with lifelong medical conditions. I wanted to give back so I knew we had to work with them. With 3 days, we have more than enough time to get it all done.. and tons more too.
So what I am getting at with all of this is, the updates might be slow coming this week. There is a lot on my plate this week. So, you might have to just hang out and see what you get this week. Wouldn't it be awful if I made you wait a whole WEEK after the reveal to share it all with you??? OK, I promise not to do that. I will try to post the reveal on Monday morning.

, I am almost as excited about it as you are 
Drink my hot chocolate.... 
Eat my popcorn... and 
you all crazy waiting! 
Hope you all are warmer than I am... 33 this morning. Brrrr!!! 
I need our trip to get her soon... and as I told some others, once we are at Disney, time can stand still from that point on. 
When he went to price a car rental, for the length of time we would need it, it would be almost $600 just for the "basics" since we need it around Thanksgiving. Car rentals are high this time of year. Then another $300 for gas makes it just not doable. Please pray often that we have no car issues while we are traveling. I know that I will worry constantly about it.
