Nico’s Day Off :)

My hubby is taking off a few days next week, and I am taking off next Friday to have a little break too. Normally I stay home the day after Thanksgiving and avoid the shopping madness, but this year I’m venturing out of the house for a little pampering. I’m going to get my haircut and go to Starbucks. I’ll be all by myself, no boys, I can’t wait!

My super sweet Sister-in-Law gave me a gift certificate to get a haircut and style with her stylist, and who doesn’t love free beauty pampering.  I think a day away will do me good, and I’ll come home a more patient and semi-glamorous Mommy 😉

Catching Up Around the House

My mom visited yesterday, and helped me out with all of the shopping for the week. It was a busy day, but we got just about everything finished. She had lots of fun getting to hang out with the kids too. Today the boys and I are staying in and catching up around the house, here is the plan for today:

  • Dishes, Dishes, Dishes, those really seem to pile up quick around here
  • Put away 4 loads of laundry
  • Empty the downstairs waste baskets
  • Take out the trash
  • Maybe lunch with hubby, he mentioned wanting to check out a new B-B-Q Place in town

I woke up with a migraine  this morning, so I hope after a few cups of coffee I’ll be feeling a little better, and ready to tackle those dishes 😉

More Warm Weather

Wow November is completely rocking in the weather department. It is going to be 68 today and 75 tomorrow. I really should go out and rake the leaves in the front yard, but I think they look pretty just where they are…

The weather has been very warm, so not all of the trees around have changed yet, but I did snap a few pics of some very pretty ones.
