<br />
Whew! Is this thing on????
Hello????<br />
Life around here has been crazy!!!! Let me tell ya! <br />
<br />
We had a pretty great summer. Most of it we spent at home. I'm not sure what I did with my time, but the summer sure blew by fast! Oh wait! I remember! I got sucked into Crossfit this summer. Normally during the summer I do work out at least three times a week. This summer my friends got me stuck on Crossfit. The only reason I agreed to go in the first place is because this box offered daycare. I had to have a place for my munchkins to go while I'm working out. Which is why I generally use the YMCA. So, I gave it a shot and by July, I was hooked. I'm hooked to the point that I feel guilty if I don't go. That has never happened to me before, especially once school starts. Normally what ever exercise program I'm doing stops once school starts. But not Crossfit. I have stuck with it 4-5 days a week since July and love it. I've even been talked into participating in the Savage Race in two weeks. Eeekkk!!!! I hate getting dirty and I hate mud, yet I am willingly going to subject myself to a race that has both. I'm not quite sure what is wrong with me yet. Let's hope I will survive. I'm also thinking about signing up for my first half marathon. well, let me rephrase that. I'm being talked into signing up for my first half marathon. I hate running, like hate with a passion and hate it every time I have to do it at Crossfit. Oh! And I talk about Crossfit quite a bit now days. Thankfully one of my good friends is doing it with me so I have someone to talk to about it. I think M gets tired of hearing about it some days. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Update: I completed the Savage Race and I'm proud to say I only missed 3 out of the 26 obstacles! I was muddy, tired and sore afterwards but super proud of myself! <br />

<br />
<br />
So, also over the summer I started my Masters program! Another EEEKKKK! So far it is going really well and I'm maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Which is pretty awesome for me. My mom reminds me when I tried to convince her C's were ok because they were average in middle school. Now I think I would freak out if I got a C. However, I am ready for the program to be over so I can get my raise. :)<br />
<br />
This summer Booger, Pretty Girl and I flew up to Michigan to visit my dad and step-mom. I was soooo nervous flying with these two by myself. Especially with Pretty Girl because she has never been on a plane before. But let me tell you, these two flew like champs! They each had an iPad to watch movies on and we had TON of snacks for them. On our way home the pilot even let Lucas touch some of the buttons in the cockpit! How cool is that?!!?!?! It was a great trip with awesome weather! I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was nice to get away from Florida and the summer heat. It did my heart and soul good to be back in Michigan, if only for a week. <br />

<br />
In August we went back to school. Booger started the 1st grade and Pretty Girl started a new preschool at a local Methodist church. She is LOVING her new preschool and Booger has finally found his stride this year and is doing well. We have spelling words on top of homework this year, so that has taken some getting used to. Booger has also joined Cub scouts and is loving every minute of that as well. He's been looking forward to joining since we started visiting our nephews at their campouts years ago. I also think it's a great way for M and Booger to spend time together. And it gives Pretty Girl and I a chance to hang out. So, it's a win/win situation.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
With the start of the school year meant I was starting a year I was not looking forward to. I am now doing strictly Course recovery this year, no actual teaching for me. :( I hate it. It makes the day so boring. I basically am their mother and make sure they get their homework done and are passing their classes. It will get more hectic as the year goes on, but right now it's just boring. So, thankfully my Principal has given me lots of new jobs to do on top of my class. I am on the Yearbook committee, which I am really excited about. I will be assistant testing coordinator for our school and I've been helping my principal with a lot of projects this year. It's been nice that she is willing to keep me busy and realizes that I'm not being used to my full potential. So, I am getting a lot of administration experience, which will be helpful once I have to do my internship for my degree.<br />
<br />
Let's see.....what else???<br />
<br />
Booger is super excited for Halloween. I think it's one of his favorite holidays. He has decided to be Darth Vador. Pretty Girl decided to be Ariel and I bought M a Super Man shirt with a cape. I ended up finding a Wonder Woman shirt with a cape online for cheap! Win/win in my book! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We have a new addition to our family. His name is Max and he's a parakeet. The kids love him and thankfully the cat hasn't tried to eat him yet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think that is it for now. <br />
I promise I will try and update more frequently. <br />

But it seems as though I'm super busy and I keep putting it off. Summers are the worst for me because I procrastinate like no other. "Oh, I can do that tomorrow," and before I know it, a week has gone by.<br />
<br />
This summer has been pretty good so far. I have been working out. My friends have talked me into doing Crossfit and I must say, I'm already addicted. I never thought I would like a workout like that, but I do. And what's better is there is a room at the gym for my kids to play, which is pretty rare for CrossFit "boxes". That is a huge selling point to me. Plus the owners are awesome and two of my good friends are going there too. Good motivation for me.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to report I'm down on my pop (or as some like to call it "soda") intake. I used to drink at least one a day, now I'm down to like maybe 1-2 a week. It's awesome! Let me tell ya. I'm not down too much weight right now, but I do know I'm getting stronger.<br />
<br />
I've also decided to start my masters. I will be getting it in Educational Leadership and M is fully behind me on this decision, which is so awesome! I should be able to get it done in a year to 18 months. I'm not happy with my assignment at school this year, but this will keep me motivated and focused.<br />
<br />
One of these days I need to get motivated and get our house in order. It looks as though a tornado went through. It seems like as soon as I pick stuff up, our tornado (Pretty girl) comes behind me and undoes everything I just did.<br />
<br />
Do any of you use the Erin Condren Life planners? I've seen them on facebook and have a few friends that love them. I was just wondering what you girls thought of them.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking of getting family pictures done this summer before M leaves on his training. What is the going rate for photographers? We haven't had family pics done since M returned from Afghanistan (*fail).<br />
<br />
Now I will leave you with some pics of my cute kiddos :) 'Cause who doesn't love cute pics?<br />

Whew! Well, school is out for the summer and I finally have some time to get my thoughts together and hopefully blog a little more. But today we will start with Booger's busy last week of school.<br />
<br />
In Florida, we get out at the end of May and Booger's birthday is at the end of May. So, Memorial weekend we decided to have Booger's family birthday party. Saturday my favorite aunt was in town, so we went swimming over at her house and spent some quality time with my family. I didn't get any pictures, which isn't like me. Thankfully my aunt got two good ones of my munchkins.<br />

<br />
Aren't they cute?!?!?<br />
<br />
That night, I cleaned our house from one side to the other in preparation for M's side of the family birthday party. I think everyone had a great time. Of course, the birthday boy enjoyed having everyone over to play with him.<br />

<br />
After cake, we opened presents. He played with his new toys and eventually everyone went home. It was a nice birthday for our 6-year-old. (WOW! How did he get so old?!?!)<br />

Monday was spent hanging around the house and just relaxing. It was a nice way to spend our Memorial Day.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was Booger's actual birthday. He was so excited to take cupcakes into school to share with his friends.<br />
<br />

<br />
We also let him decide what we were having for dinner that day. He thought that was pretty awesome!<br />
<br />
Thursday that week, our Booger graduated from Kindergarten! Can you believe it?!?! I sure can't!<br />
<br />

<br />
And Friday was his last day of school as a Kindergartner. I still cannot believe it!<br />
<br />
Saturday was his friend birthday party and I again forgot to take pictures. Only a few school friends came, but he had a BLAST and that's what is important.<br />
<br />
So, that is Booger's extremely busy and exciting week!<br />
<br />
I will be back soon to recap our summer so far. :) Have a great Wednesday!<br />

I cannot believe he is 6 already. He LOVES Legos, Transformers, and all things boy related. It's amazing to think that today, 6 years ago I was made a mother and a little 5lb 15oz baby boy was placed in my arms. He has grown into such a nice, caring, amazing little man. I am so proud to be his mommy!<br />

How do I have an almost 6 year old? I am NOT old enough for this! I swear it was just yesterday I found out (unexpectedly) that I was pregnant with Booger.<br />
<br />
Well, we are getting ready for him to have his first ever friend birthday party at our house soon! Eeek! I ended up making his birthday invitations and I'm quite proud of them. :)<br />

<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
I'm also procrastinating. I should be writing essays right now and instead I'm writing a blog post. It's amazing the things you can find to do when you're trying to avoid something.<br />
<br />
Well, I need to get these essays done. :(<br />
<br />
Have a great night!!!!<br />

I've seen it with my own eyes, and experienced it. But not like how I did tonight.
<br />
<br />
I am utterly shocked at the words that came out of this older woman's mouth when I told her to mind her own business. I mean seriously!<br />
<br />
Let's start at the beginning. M is gone for the weekend. Booger was having a hard time listening tonight. We were going to Panera to pick up dinner, he wasn't listening when I was trying to talk to him. So as I was getting out of the car I told Booger "if you can't be respectful when I'm talking to you, then I will do the same to you." Maybe it was harsh, but at the moment I was over it. This lady walks up to me and tells me I shouldn't speak to my kids that way. I told her to mind her own business, she doesn't know the situation. Then she proceeds to call me an a@%hole! Like seriously?!?!? Then I said "wow! Thanks for using such nice language around my kids" Then she proceeds to tell me I am a horrible mother and never should have been one! Can you believe it?!?!? How rude! I don't care how horrible you thought what I said was, you do NOT say something like that in front of my kids! Why can't people mind their own business??? It's not like I was being overly mean to my son or beating him in public (not that I do in private either) but geeze!<br />
<br />
I know it shouldn't bother me what someone else says. I know I am a good mom and I love my kids more than anything in this world. But I refuse to raise disrespectful kids.<br />
<br />
Why do women have to be so mean and rude to each other? <br />

We decided to let him choose which sport and he chose soccer first. I am OK with that. I think it's a great way for him to learn about teams and really, no skills are needed to play soccer at this age level. We had our first game this past Saturday. It was fun to watch and he did really good. Especially for this being his first game. I saw some of his competitiveness come out and he did a great job of getting into the game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here he is trying to look like he knows what he is doing. He played a good portion of the game.<br />

This video is when he got the ball and almost scored. Please excuse the screaming. I was just so excited for him.<br />
<br />
Do your kids play sports? If so, which did they start with?<br />

And when I mean early, I mean like 1st or 2nd week of March. Early. It used to be the week before Easter, but due to state testing, it is now earlier in the year. This year, it was just the kids and I for the whole week. M had to work out of town that week. Thankfully we had some beautiful weather and spent most of the week outside. We rode bikes, took our last swim in my mom's pool (she sold her house recently) and generally just played outside. It was a nice, relaxing week.<br />

Oh did you guys notice how short Pretty Girls hair is now? Oh yea, I wasn't planning on cutting her hair any time soon. However, SHE decided it was time for a hair cut. Yup those pics are of her hair cutting skills. :( I knew she was too quiet in her room. Thankfully M was awesome and able to fix her hair. I had a small coronary. </div>

I swear we were just celebrating Y2K and now it's 2015.<br />
<br />
Where has the time gone?
We spent the evening at a family friends house like we have done in years past. The kids were able to go swimming in the cold pool and watch movies. We ate good food and spent time with good friends and family. Not the most glamorous or exciting, but fun nonetheless.
<br />
<br />

It was a nice was to ring in the new year.<br />
<br />
Now for some Goals:<br />
<br />
* Find a place to start my Masters in Educational Leadership and get it started<br />
* Attend information session on Leadership Academy<br />
* Start working out at least 2 days a week (whether it's at home or at the gym)<br />
* Start watching what I eat and limiting my pop intake.<br />
* Read at least 1 book every 3 months (I already have one down. Just read The Good Girl and it was REALLY good)<br />
*Start meal planning at least 2 meals a week<br />
* Try a new dish every other week<br />
* Get more organized<br />
*Try to get on an actual budget<br />
* Be more "present" with my kids<br />
*Take the kiddos to the Zoo<br />
*Start chores for the kids (like picking up toys before bed, making beds in the morning, helping a few little things around the house)<br />
*blog a little more<br />
<br />
I think these are doable goals for the upcoming year. What do you think?<br />

She has gotten into crocheting recently and has made a few baby blankets for her new little bundle of joy.
<br />
<br />
She has also made one that is a camo blanket and super cute! If I had a little bundle of joy, I would sure buy one. But this baby factory is currently closed. <br />

M had the week of Christmas off to spend with us, which was nice.
<br />
<br />
We split our Christmas celebration into three different celebrations. We started off with my mom the Tuesday before Christmas. We went over and had lunch and opened presents with her. Her and my dad spoiled the heck out of me this year. It was really nice to get spoiled a little. They also spoiled Booger and Pretty Girl. We spent the afternoon at her house playing with their new toys. I only have one picture from that day, but I have to say, it's my favorite.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3zHwH7fbHAg/VLHoTOkKXPI/AAAAAAAAH1k/B8Ml5fZgyNU/s1600/IMG_0302.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3zHwH7fbHAg/VLHoTOkKXPI/AAAAAAAAH1k/B8Ml5fZgyNU/s1600/IMG_0302.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Christmas eve was spent at M's parents house with his side of the family. It was a nice evening. The kids were spoiled again and were able to play with some of their new gifts. We also ate some great food.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sIGTefw7vnQ/VLHolyxUDJI/AAAAAAAAH1s/5IGGfpiUk3k/s1600/christmas%2Beve%2B2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sIGTefw7vnQ/VLHolyxUDJI/AAAAAAAAH1s/5IGGfpiUk3k/s1600/christmas%2Beve%2B2014.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
Left is of our nephews opening their cards from us (I made them and was pretty proud of them) and of course Booger and Pretty girl opened their presents as well.<br />
<br />
Then Santa came to our house. There was much excitement in our house. Both kids understood what was going on. It was magical this year and their excitement was contagious. Santa spoiled our kids as well. They received baby turtles, 2 of them; a large fish tank for the turtles and fish; ninja turtle gear; Sophia the First doll and princess shoes; the transformer Grimlock Booger has been talking about for months; and a few other little things. They had a blast Christmas morning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BFnCsk4qKs8/VLHpie5_gXI/AAAAAAAAH14/sNDERc2LCJE/s1600/christmas%2Bmorning%2B2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BFnCsk4qKs8/VLHpie5_gXI/AAAAAAAAH14/sNDERc2LCJE/s1600/christmas%2Bmorning%2B2014.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
From left: the tree after Santa arrived, our baby turtle, the fish tank, boots that Pretty girl has been eyeing for awhile now, the ninja turtle gear and of course pretty dresses for a pretty girl.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a nice holiday. The magic was alive for the kids and to me, that is what is important. That and family. It's not about the gifts, but watching the kids believe so strongly in something is nice. It was a nice Christmas.<br />

Where has the time gone???
It literally seems like just yesterday she was born and now she is a sassy, funny, loving little girl. The baby in her is gone. She is all little girl now. She LOVES dresses and shoes. I foresee a lot of money being spent on shoes in the coming years. She loves princesses and Sophia the first, dolls and all things girly. <br />

Pretty Girl picked out her own cake and of course it was a Frozen cake. I fully expected her to get a Princess one, especially seeing as she was pretty set on a Sophia cake, but once she saw the Frozen one, she changed her mind. It really turned out cute. </div>

Overall I believe she had a great 3rd birthday. It's still hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that she is now 3, but she will tell anyone who will listen how old she is. She is too cute and mommy and daddy love her whole bunches!</div>

I can't believe you have come and gone so quickly. <br />
<br />
This year M decided he wanted to host Thanksgiving at our house. Which is not a problem with me as it would be only his family attending. The decision was finally made on Wednesday that it would be at our house and the time, as well as what everyone was responsible for. Let me tell you, having other people bring stuff, helped out SOOO much! Any who. I cleaned literally almost all day on Wednesday and most of the morning and afternoon on Thursday. I did the dishes about 5 different times between the two days and I swear if I don't clean or do dishes for the foreseeable future, I'm ok with that. I have never cleaned so much in my life and I must say, our house looked amazing! I wish I had taken pics, but I was a little busy running around like a chicken with my head cut off. <br />
<br />
We had about 17 people in attendance <br />
2 turkeys (one baked the other fried) <br />
3 different kids of stuffing <br />
4 bags of mashed potatoes <br />
4 different kinds of bread<br />
a cheese tray, a pickle and olive tray<br />
Spinach dip<br />
gravy<br />
sweet potato casserole<br />
deviled eggs<br />
green bean casserole<br />
3 different kinds of pie<br />
<br />
Holy cow did we have food left over!
I'm kind of left-overed out, but we still have some turkey left. I might make dinner with it tonight and be done with it. <br />
<br />
Whew!<br />
<br />
It was a good day, busy, but good. We also went out black Friday shopping after dinner. M and I both got ourselves a few things we wanted for Christmas and a few things for the kids. mainly it's fun to watch people get all bent out of shape in Wal-Mart. Lord. some people are just crazy! We were done and back home by 9 and just hung out with M's sister and her boyfriend. <br />
<br />
It was a nice holiday. We ran a few errands on Friday and then spent the rest of the weekend being lazy. it was really nice. I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner last night :) and I don't feel bad about it. I only had to wash a knife and two cups :) I call that a win. <br />
<br />
Do you go black Friday shopping? Can you believe how crazy some people get about the deals? <br />
<br />
3 weeks until Christmas vacation! (But who's counting?) :)

Every time I comment on someone's blog using my google account I get an email saying "delivery system notification (failure)" Can anyone tell me why I am getting this and how can I fix it? <br />
I've tried googling the answer and can't come up with anything to help fix it. Thanks in advance!<br />

Second. I got this Chroma color pallet from Sephora for my birthday. Let me give you the back story. I never used to wear make up, unless I was dressing up to go out. Over the summer my friends introduced me to Sephora and I found make up tutorials on youtube (my favorite is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6jgzx2g3nlbaYkd8EMweKA">Jaclyn Hill</a>)and I'm not hooked. I wear eye make up every day and I'm loving it. I love the fact that it covers up my dark circles and helps make me put more together.<br />

<br />
<br />
Anywho. Since I got this Chroma color pallet I have been matching my eye liner to my outfit. My question is, is that weird? Like if I'm wearing a pink sweater, I choose the pink eye liner. If I'm wearing blue, I pick the blue eye liner. Sometimes I pick brown or black, but generally I have been matching it. Is that weird? <br />
<br />
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer! I do appreciate it! :)

Oops! Sorry! Life has gotten a little hectic for me lately.
But without further ado....here is my recap :)
<br />
<br />

My birthday fell on a Wednesday, which is never fun. It was just a normal day, but my phone was blowing up with people calling and texting to wish me a happy birthday. That makes me happier than anything else, just having people acknowledge that it's my birthday. Which everyone did by the end of the day. Both kids were super excited for my birthday, which was nice. <br />
<br />
That night my mom made my favorite meal for my birthday. It was chicken casserole and chocolate éclair cake for dessert. The kids and I spent the night at my mom's house (as M was out of town again) just hanging out. <br />
<br />
A few friends from work were planning on going out on Saturday and invited me with them. Which I thought was nice seeing as the only time I spend with them is at lunch. Thankfully on my way up to White Buffalo (my favorite country bar) two of my good girlfriends called me to tell me they were going to White Buffalo and I should come with them. Haha! I thought that was pretty funny. Let me tell you I had a BLAST! I danced and laughed WAY too much! It was so good for my soul! I spent the entire night just hanging out with my girlfriends. One of my favorite things about White Buffalo is that you can go there with a group of girls and never speak to anyone else. It's just a nice place to go to hang out with your girlfriends. No sleazy guys coming up to you, actually no guys ever approach our group anyways. Which is just nice. <br />

It was just an overall great birthday. I hate that I'm a year older, but it was awesome to finally get to go out and celebrate my birthday (I haven't done that in about 3 years, not even my 30th) <br />
<br />
It would have been nice if M could have celebrated with me, but it just wasn't in the cards for us to be together again this year. Maybe next year. <br />
<br />
Do you like going out special for your birthday? What's your favorite thing to do to celebrate?

<br />
The kids had a great time and so did I. Booger and Pretty girl both had parties at their schools and had a great day! Who doesn't love a day full of candy and fun? <br />
For me, we had quite a few kids absent and overall it wasn't a horrible day. I even had a Halloween shirt to wear. I should have taken a pic of it because it was really cute and I got a lot of compliments about it. Bad blogger :(<br />
After school, I had to pick up candy to be passed out and dinner of course. The house was cleaned and dinner made and ate. Finally it was time to go Trick-or-treating. The kids could hardly wait!
We got them dressed and headed out. We ended up walking over a mile and went down 4 of the streets near us. I was kind of disappointed in the amount of houses that were handing out candy. As well as the amount of people who were actually out trick-or-treating. I remember as a kid there being TONS of people going house to house. This year it seemed like no one was out. Thankfully neither Booger nor Pretty Girl noticed. They had a great time and were pooped out by the time we got home. <br />
Over all it was a great Halloween. <br />

Halloween is one of Booger's FAVORITE holidays. He talks about what he is going to be All.Year.Long! It's cute! But trying to convince a 5 year old he has to wait a whole year is quite tricky!</div>

M was away at drill, which is never fun, but I made sure to have our weekend jammed packed and in my mind it was pretty darn good. Having M there with us of course would have made it that much better. <br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Friday started off with M watching the kids while I went to work and had a professional day. That means we attend meetings, input grades, clean the classrooms and plan for the upcoming months. My day was spent with meetings and dealing with the failure list. That is never fun. Ever. That afternoon I had plans to walk with our neighbor and see if we could get her labor started. She was 4 days past her due date at that point. We were not successful, but the hour long walk we had was amazing! It was awesome to relax and just talk about everything and nothing. It did my soul good! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Saturday morning we went to my mom's to swim for the last weekend of the season. The kids loved it. She also made dinner for us. She made meatloaf and baked potatoes. It was yummy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">That night we ended up going to an event at Oscar Shearer State Park. They were having a haunted trail event. We didn't go on the haunted trail, but they did have trick-or-treating for the little ones in a separate place. Booger and Pretty Girl LOVED it and had a great time! Booger even won in the costume contest. :) How cool is that??? We haven't gotten their Halloween costumes yet, so we borrowed some dress up clothes from M's parents house and it worked out perfectly. The weather was chilly but perfect as well.</span></div>

I am so excited that we have such awesome new products now for Origami Owl. One of my favorite new additions are the military charms. I have been waiting forever for them to finally come out with them and now they are here. I am using mine in my new lanyard locket with some blue crystals. I know it's a large locket with not much in it, but I haven't had a chance to add other charms to that locket yet. I will have to find some time and see what I have to add. today also marks when our holiday products launch! How exciting is that??? I think it's pretty cool, but I am also in love with Origami Owl. I love being a part of this company!</div>

Sorry for the delay**<br />

Oh my what a great weekend we just had. Let me tell you it has been awhile since I have had such a nice weekend and the best part is we didn't do anything amazing. But it has been awhile and it was awesome.<br />
Our weekend started off on Friday with dinner at a yummy restaurant called Luna's with M's parents and then cards afterwards. Us women won in cards, so that always makes for a nice night :)<br />
Saturday M got up and went golfing with a family friend. I was afraid he would get rained out, but he was able to get a majority of the holes in before it started to rain again. He said he had a good time, which is what is important. While he was gone the kids and I went to lunch with my mom and her new significant other. He seems really nice and makes her happy, so that makes me happy :) It was nice getting a chance to see her and spend some time with her. I miss seeing her. <br />
After lunch I was exhausted, I have no idea why, but I could not function to save my life and thought it might be a good idea to rip my throat out, because it was hurting so bad. Thankfully our children were awesome and played nicely while mommy dozed on the couch. That NEVER happens, but I felt better afterwards. We had dinner at home and watched movies as a family that night. We all were asleep before 10pm (which is unheard of for us unless someone is sick)<br />
Sunday we had planned to go shopping. Pretty girl can't seem to stop growing and so we needed some new dresses and shirts for her. (Her dresses look like shirts on her now) With the rain on Saturday, we had a cold spell come through. Let me tell ya, when it's 90 degrees with 90% humidity for that long, 72* feels pretty darn chilly. But it was a nice change :) I don't know how long it will last, but I'll take what I can get right now :) I made breakfast that morning (pretty darn good breakfast too if ya ask me) and we headed up to the outlet mall. I was expected a short trip with running into a few stores and getting what we needed and leaving. But let me tell you, my hubby was awesome! We spent a couple hours there and had a good time. :) We got everything we needed plus some. He told me I HAD to buy a pair of reef flip flops, that I would love how comfy they are. Let me tell you, I hated that I had to tell him he was right. But he was! I wore those puppies all over the mall and my feet didn't hurt at all! How crazy is that?!?! I got another pair of work shoes, and he bought me a beautiful watch. I didn't need a new one, but he informed me, watches aren't a "need" item and if I found one I liked, I could get it. How awesome? I love it! Plus you can't go wrong with a little bling, can ya??? <br />

Pretty girl got some really cute clothes from Carters and of course new shoes. Her shoes light up and I swear if we let her wear them to bed, she would have. :) <br />

How could I say no to these??? I would probably wear them too if they came in my size :)<br />
Booger got a new Transformer shirt and a new pair of shoes as well. <br />
M of course got a few new pairs of work shoes and did an amazing job not getting annoyed with me and letting me shop and try on clothes. He really was awesome the entire day.<br />
After the mall we headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. M has been telling me how amazing this place is for MONTHS. Finally we were up near it and he was awesome enough to take us there for dinner. Let me tell you, he was right! I love Outback, but this place was WAY better! The cinnamon butter on the rolls is just amazing!!! I was pleasantly stuffed and happy. We played cards at his parents house again that night. <br />
Overall it wasn't a spectacular weekend, but it was still pretty amazing. I enjoyed every minute of it (except when I felt I was coming down with strep) <br />
