Happy Birthday Mom!!

Happy birthday mom!! Today, she is taking a day trip to the city to do some shopping by Weston, MO with her sisters and sister-in-laws. Sounds like they were going to have a great time!!

Family Dinner

With the rain Wednesday, we took advantage of dad not working in the field and went to mom and dad's for supper last night. Lauren and Brian were able to make it as well. It seems like it has been ages since we all sat down together, shared a meal, and caught up. We are all talking about going to Branson next weekend. The boys loved Silver Dollar City last year, and the last time I was in Branson, other than for work, was before I got married!! My only dilemma is finding someone to puppy-sit! Happy Friday everyone!!

Puppy update

Well, the family seems to all be well, and we did cast our votes today and are currently watching the news to see the outcome. Since I have nothing else exciting to blog about today, I will post an update on the puppies. They are finally opening their eyes, and beginning to get up on their feet instead of scooting around. They are also finding their voices and barking little puppy barks when they want momma. They have grown so much, I am still in amazement!

It runs in the family, Illness that is!!

Lauren and Amanda, just wait. You stay home with the first feverish child, only to have everyone well all weekend, then the second child becomes ill Monday. Linda is busy with election, Jeff can't miss any more work this year, or he will not be able to acquire 4 personal days for another year, and I already missed Thursday and Friday with Andrew. So where does that leave me? Very thankful that I have the job I do, because Colby went to work with me today. Don't really know what the boss thinks of it yet, but what do you do?? Hopefully all are well tomorrow! Also, I started Yoga tonight and I love it. You just feel so relaxed and at peace after an hour of deep breathing. Not to mention that after Yoga is a good time to go grocery shopping b/c you feel motivated to be good.

Halloween party

We went to a Halloween party last night at Jason & Trish's barn. They have a really nice set up at their barn! The kids all had so much fun playing together. They played "Pin the nose on the witch," painted pumpkins, and had a pinata. There was a fog machine, hair color, and lots of good food! I have added pictures of the party to the slide show.

My catalog has a 30% off, the code is HOLIDAY30, or if anyone needs to borrow it, let me know!

Jack-O-Lanterns

I bought the "Mr. Potato-head" pumpkin decorations thinking I might get by easy this year, but no such luck. Andrew decided he wanted to carve the pumpkins. He chose the Vampire, and Colby's is the witch. Colby loved pulling all the slime and seeds out of the pumpkins, but I could hardly get Andrew to put his hands in the pumpkins!
