FALL BREAK IS HERE

WOW, it has only been 9 weeks since school has started, but I have already forgot what it was like to sleep in a little. Fall break is here and we are still getting up at the same time, as if we were going to school. Today has a little different, Reagan had to go to school, so it was just Anita and I. But Bryan gave gnash a rib bone from dinner last night, and I woke up to dog puke everywhere, and she has continued all day, and unfortunately every time I clean it up I get sick. This has never bothered me before, but today it is. She normally doesn't get table scraps, and she will not ever again. I now have her outside since the rain has stopped, and it doesn't seemed to matter if she runs off either. I am so over indoor animals, kids are hard enough. I was suppose to be cleaning out closets, but I haven't gotten there yet, Gnash has kept me busy. Well I thought I would update everyone, on my crazy day..Until tomorrow!!!

I AM BACK!!!

OK, My own brother, informed me, that I am falling behind on the blog, so here it goes, we had a very busy weekend!!

FRIDAY:

We did as little as possible, we are usually so worn out from the week, our Fridays are always boring!!

SATURDAY:

Reagan and I went to Anita's soccer game, where she score 3 out of the 7 goals!!! GO ANITA!!! she was awesome out there, she finally came out of her shell. after that we headed to my mom, so we could go to Gallatin, first to check on my dad's and grandparent's flowers at the cemetery, and then we went to Oktoberfest on the Square, They had all kinds of craft booths set up, but it was VERY HOT, I think it made it to 90 that day!!

SUNDAY:

We got up and headed down to Spring Hill to Addison's birthday party, She had a princess party, and the entire back yard was a carnival, They had ring toss, pick a duck out of a pond, knock down the cans, skeeball, egg walk, pop a balloon, and fishing, plus all the food you find at a carnival, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and someone was making cotton candy, we all had a BLAST!!! Above are pictures of the girls , with their faces in the cut outs Natalie made.But there again it was VERY HOT OUTSIDE!!!

MONDAY:

Today we went and had lunch with my mom at her school, the girls love going there!! Of course lunch starts at 9:50 am and we only have about 20 mins to eat and visit, but it is a big treat for them!! Then we headed to the hotel to see daddy, and then delivered a gift basket to a mom from MOPS that had a baby last week, they are now resting up for soccer practice later!!!

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT REST OF THE DAY!!!

YEAH, TOMMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!

Everyone in this house, is excited the weekend, Bryan has to work the fire hall Saturday, but will not have to go back there until the 15th, but he will be at the hotel Mon-Wed. This has just really been a long week, I have been exhausted, and so have the girls. Maybe we can get caught up on some much needed rest this coming week. We have soccer practice tonight, if it doesn't rain, and a game on Saturday, but there is rain in the forecast for then as well. We are going to a close friends Birthday party Sunday, her daughter is turning 4, and she is turning her back yard into a carnival for the kids, so that will be Fun!! Anita just brought home, yet another fundraiser today, I was told this is the last one this year. They are looking for sponsors to do a "walk in the woods" so if anyone is interested in making a donation, let me know. You know they tell these kids, that if they participate, they can get all these prizes, which they get really excited about, but they do not tell them, there is a limited number, and that only the top 10 kids in the school will receive these prizes. So when I told Anita we probably wouldn't ask anyone, she got upset with me, because she wouldn't be getting any of the prizes. so I can either feel like I am begging our friends and family and get a few donations, or not participate, and be a mean mom. Oh well life goes on, she will realize that one day. Oh what fun peer pressure is!!!!

Flu Shot Season

Well, It is that time a year again to get the dreaded flu shot, I picked the girls up from school yesterday, and headed to Hendersonville. I knew better than to tell them where we were going, or I would be hearing nothing but screams, and cries all the way there, about not wanting a SHOT!! So as we pass our street, Anita says, "mom, where are we going?" And I said we are going to H'ville, then she wasn't satisfied with that, and says WHERE?, So I told her and of course she starts up her fake cry, and says NOOOOO. Then Reagan starts, no shot mommy, no shot. So we talk through it, and I get them calmed down, and told them if they did good, and were big girls we would get a sucker then they finished. Then they were excited, we get there, and they were still good, they call us back, and they go back happy, we get to the room, Anita starts crying, The nurse laid down the syringes to get me to sign the sheet, we look over and Reagan is holding them saying, "it doesn't hurt sissy, see", Well Anita was up first, and it wasn't pretty, It took both of us to hold her down, then it was Reagan's turn, she jumped up in my lap, and just cried for a second when the needle first went in, and was done. Anita, continued all the way to the van. So to calm her down, I told her we would go see daddy at work, if she stopped crying (because right now, mommy was the bad guy, so she was ready to see daddy). We get to the hotel and Reagan starts with the drama, she walked in holding her leg, like it was broken, and couldn't really walk on it, I so wished I had a video camera, Anita was then fine. So I just thought I would share with you the drama in my life. They keep me laughing, they are both such drama queens!!!!!

It is October, Already!!

Anita has Fall Break next week, and I think she is ready!! She is doing GREAT in school, but I think she is ready for a few day's of rest. Although Reagan, has school next Tuesday, but is off the following Tuesday(16th), which is really silly, they should try and correspond their times off, But that will give Anita and I and day to spend together "with no Reagan" as she says it. So we will have to come up with something special to do that day. We are going to Alabama that weekend as well, to see Bryan's brother Steve, we are all really excited, since he is now only about 3 hours away. The girls are counting down the days to go to the beach, Bryan says I have brain washed them, because that is all we heard Saturday, Anita, said " I can just smell it" Which we laughed, because she has never been to the beach to know what it smells like. Reagan is gathering up all her toys, and keeps repeating "I want to take this to the beach mommy." We have a very busy month, Anita has her first field trip to the Pumpkin patch on the 26th, and Reagan's school, will take them out to the field at the church to get their pumpkins on the 30th. I have a Mom's night out bonfire on the 11th, that I am really excited about. Our MOPS group is trying to have an outing once a month, "just for moms" so that we can fellowship with other moms, and have some adult conversations. Now all I need is a date with my husband, and my month will be complete!!! Until tomorrow (maybe, hopefully I can get to the computer) I hope everyone has a blessed day.

The Lord bless you, and keep you, The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. Numbers6:24-25
