The Busy Weeks

The last two weeks in October are always the busiest around our house. We seem to have two or three things on the calendar every single day. We celebrate our anniversary, two very awesome birthdays, my very favorite holiday is in there too. There are also parent/teacher conferences with the kids teachers, James is swamped at work, school parties, parades, and the kids even have a day off on Friday.

I’m kinda ready for November to get here already…

School Is Out Today

The kids have an inservice day today, so everyone is home for the day. It has been a loud day, and I am looking forward to the quiet of Tuesday.

Agnes lost her second tooth today, so she was extra excited!

I’ve just been cooking, cleaning, and trying to keep up with the kids.

I’ve been sneaking in a little crochet here and there too. I’ve been working on a scarf for me.

I finished it up last night while watching The Walking Dead and The Leftovers. I love crocheting during Sunday night t.v.

This Weekend

This weekend was pretty darn fantastic!

We all felt better, and thank goodness for that. I think I missed an entire month due to sickness.

We decorated the house for Halloween! We also stocked up on Halloween candy.

We visited our gardening buddy at the hospital, he is doing well and recovering from surgery. We also hit a few yard sales on the way home. I came back with a big bag of yarn for $5, and seven dessert plates for fifty cents.

I’ve been working on teacher gifts for Christmas. I’m making a bunch of scarves for the kids to give their teachers. They are perfect to crochet during a Football game.

We took lots of naps too.

The best part… We got to meet our beautiful baby nieces. My Sister (in law) Jill and her fiancee, and my mother in law visited on Saturday. They brought their darling little girls.

It was so fun having little ones in the house again. Lots of hugs, cuddles, feedings, and tiny toes. Seriously, I miss babies like crazy, so I am glad that these little darlings are in my life.

The girls are now one month old, and absolutely precious. I love those girls with all of my heart.

I have to say, it is pretty awesome being an Aunt!
