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

Updates

Hello ladies! I finished my 50th book last night!! Yay me! I still have a month and a half in the year and I have hit my goal.

Unfortunately we have hit a snag on the house. The siding didn't come in on Monday like it was suppose to. now they are saying not until the 20th! That stinks, it won't be done by Thanksgiving, oh well it will be done by Christmas. I will post more when something happens.

We had parent teacher conferences this past week. Ryan is doing very well. In fact his teacher said he is a DELIGHT. I want to know where the delight is when he is at home! I'm glad he is doing well in school. they had a big celebration for veteran's day today. they had 27 veteran's there, the kids sang songs to them and it was so sweet and touching. I just love Ryan's school. They sang about country and God. The veteran's were very touched.

I saw Twilight is coming out as a movie. I need to buy the book so I can read it before the movie comes out. Everyone has read it and loved it. I love vampire books anyway.

I am getting excited to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I have some Christmas shopping done but not a lot. I am really cutting back this year. I really am, I'm not just saying it this year. I got Ryan some great books at his school book fair, which I have been working at everyday this week.

guess that's it. talk at ya later.ciao

The Lighter Side

enough of all the heavy issues. ryan went to the bengals game on sunday with daddy. obviously he was good luck because they finally won. he was so excited! he really loved it!!!

House Update

the house is moving right along. the old ugly rusty brown colored roof is gone!! YAY, no it is light and pretty gray/white. they tore a lot of the siding off today and put new boards underneath, i don't know what they are called, and then wrapped stuff on it to keep water out. kevin put a pull down ladder in the garage attic so we can use it for storage and it will be more convenient and safe to use. ryan loves it!

Halloween

here are some pics from halloween. ryan had a friend come over to trick or treat. also mom, dad and julia came over like every year BUT my baby brother who i have spent every halloween of his life with ditched us this year for a girl!! my heart was broken but we went on with the halloween celebration! ryan ran into a bunch of friends from school and they all had a blast. he really had fun. he and angie decided to quit early and just come home and play. we ordered pizza and they played until about 9:30pm. it was a good halloween even though david ruined our traditions and ditched us.
