Thanksgiving

Well, our Thanksgiving was pretty uneventful. We went to my Sister-In-Law, Sue's house, ate with Mimi & Papa, Sue, Criag & Thomas. It wasn't like my Mom used to make, which according to my sister, is just like I make. But it was o.k. We didn't stay long. It was such a beautiful day, Doug wanted to get home and clean out the gutters. I did talk to Laura on the phone. She has a couple of girls she used to work with visiting, so she was having a good time.

Yesterday was a beautiful day!! It got around 60. Great for all the shoppers! I did get to Kohls. I had Ryan with me. Bradley was hunting with Papa and Doug was at work. The line for the checkout by the Mens dept. went all the way back into the boys/home sections way in the back, they other check out wrapped around past customer service. So basically what this meant is, I stood in line for close to an hour to save $100. Was it worth it?? You bet it was! Ryan stood right there with me holding stuff. He was SO good!!! He never complained, he didn't ask for everything in sight, he didn't whine.... what a trooper!! We had also been to Walmart, but they were out of what I wanted, and there he held my hand and was awesome!! Luckily we didn't have to stand in line there. Then we came home and Bradley was already home. He got cold hunting. I then laid on the couch since a nasty cold was coming on. ( I avoided it as long as possible, all the boys in my house have had it, then Nancy at work had it last week) Doug called later to say he was getting off work at 4pm, so I could go to Target and get what I need to. They of course were out of most of what I wanted, but I did get one thing on the list and saved $40. I couldn't believe how warm it was yesterday. The kids played outside pretty much most of the day. It's supposed to be a lot like that today too. Close to 60 and sunny. I have to work on my grocery list today, do laundry and dig out Christmas decorations. I do have my lights up outside and my tree up, upstairs. It's been tough for me to get into the "Christmas Spirit" the last few years, so I sort of have to force myself to do all this. The kids love it!!

Halloween

Here are my Bat and my Pirate.. Ryan said he was a "candy bat" as opposed to a fruit bat I guess! ;-)
