Finally Finished!!!!

The house is finished...YAY!!! And I love it!!! It looks so good. What do you guys think?

Not Quite Finished

Well they didn't quite finish the house today, they'll be back tomorrow. Here is a pic from the other day, I think it was Thanksgiving. I will get some pictures when they finish. Also a pic of my adorable doggies, don't they look like angels...pictures lie!!

News Update

We have been very busy. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Since then I have shopped a lot. I am almost finished Christmas shopping. Just a few more things to find and a few gift cards to get. I have most everything wrapped. Our trees are up and the outside is decorated. We also made a gingerbread tree and have almost finished our gingerbread house. I will get pics and post them soon.

Good news, they should finish the house tomorrow. I will take pics when they are finished and post them. I am so excited. It is looking so good. Now when I look at the picture I posted last of the house it doesn't look good at all. The white trim really makes it look nice, everything pops. I just love it.

Ryan is doing well in school. He is reading chapter books now and he is very proud of himself. He still doesn't want to read everyday but he is proud of how well he is doing. He gets his report card on Friday.

Kevin's head is nice and healed, now if his pride could just heal. HAHAHA!

Friday we have our pack meeting and Ryan gets to throw a pie in my face! He sold over $700 in popcorn. He was the packs top seller and very excited!! He is very proud of himself, he can't wait to have it announced to the whole pack. Also they get their pinewood derby car kits. That is very exciting for the scouts!

That is about it ladies. I will post pics as soon as I get them all taken and downloaded. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon.

Ciao!

good news and more good news

Well I have lots of good news. We finally got the siding and it finally stopped raining...SO we finally have progress on the house. I took the pics about 2:30pm, there is actually a lot more done now. I will take a new pic in the am. I am so happy!! I love the new color!!

Also while cleaning the family room today I found a baby lizard on the hearth. I couldn't believe it , I started screaming for Ryan to come help me catch it. I got our extra little cage and it took Ry and I forever to catch it but finally we did. I took pics but they aren't very good, he is very very small and moves quickly. the 2nd picture has my blurry pinky in it but you can tell how small he is.

We bought a new Christmas tree on Sunday. I loved my other tree but I hated putting the lights on, so Kev woke up Sunday and said let's go get a pre-lite tree. I love a ton of lights and I am very picky about trees so I never thought we'd find one I loved. Well we did at the 1st store, Garden Ridge. It was on sale for $100 off. We also got a revolving tree stand Ryan loves it. He was surprised when he got home and saw it. It has white lights which I have never liked before but I love the brightness, it has 650 white lights, I also added 400 led colored lights, it is great!!! We haven't decorated it yet, I will post pics once we do. Kevin out up Ryan's tree tonight too, just the tree, it is pre-lit too.

I am almost finished cleaning. Just the huge job of the kitchen and a few other things. I finally got all the shopping done for Thanksgiving. We will be a group of about 15 this year. We are going to have so much yummy stuff, then we will set out all our ads and plan our route!!

I am so ready for the Holidays!!!

the truth

ok everything in my last post was true EXCEPT why kevin passed out. he actually got up to go to the bathroom and got dizzy and passed out. he busted head on the toilet paper holder and then again on the tile floor. the other story was the one the doctor and kevin came up with while he got his stitches, they thought it sounded better less embarrassing!

I finish Twilight last night and I loved it!! I can't wait to get the others and see the movie!

so good it hurt...

oh my girls, you would not believe the night i had. after having sex for hours, kevin passed out and hit his head on the head board, i had to take him to the ER. he was dizzy and disoriented and bleeding. i had to wake poor ryan up and get them both ready. after being in the er for a few hours i took ryan home to get ready for school, then had to go back to get kevin. i took a small nap between when we got home and when kevin had a dr's appointment. then back to pick ry up at school. i am so tired right now, i could pass out, the good news is i'm almost finished with Twilight since i spent so much time in waiting rooms. kevin got lots of stitches but nothing else is wrong with him. i am off to bed. night night

these are the days...

of our lives. ryan came home from school the other day and said he wanted to play lacrosse when he gets in 5th grade. i said okay, it sounded like a good idea. they came to school and told them all about it. well on Friday we find out they can sign up as early as kindergarten. so went saturday and signed him up. he is so excited. i on the other hand didn't realize how rough the game is. oh well he is excited and we wanted him to play a sport. i think he likes the idea of the helmet and the stick. it will be an expensive sport, but if he loves it and continues with it it will be great.

i have so much to do this week. i have to clean my whole house and get it ready for Thanksgiving. the problem is i have hurt my back again and i'm in a ton of pain if i am on my feet. oh well, it must get done.

ryan has a cold but is being so good about taking his disgusting medicine! hopefully he feels better soon. he is finally reading chapter books, he has been able to for a long time but has alway taken the easy way out and read picture books every night. we got lots of books from the book sale and he is doing really well.

kevin has been working on lots of little projects. he got a floor put down in the garage attic so we can store stuff up there. and he scrubbed one of the bathrooms for me tonight, what a wonderful hubby!

i am tired i planned to sleep in today while ryan was at church with mom, well he didn't go. he had 6 friends running around the house by 11am this morning. they sounded like a herd of elephants but he had fun. they destroyed his room so now i have that to add to my list.

we need to start another game or something on here, i will try to think of something good. maybe a photo scavenger hunt?? so no one can cheat you have to take the pics yourself! oh i am liking that idea...everyone had a digital camera right?

when i finish my 53rd book tonight i am going to start Twlight so i can see the movie! i can't wait to read it after EVERYONE has talked about it.

ciao ladies! have a great week
