Birthdays, halloween, redecorating and nothing!

I have finally recovered from our trip to Oklahoma. It was a quick and tiring trip!!

We went to Mandy's for dinner and cupcakes for Adam's 5th birthday Monday. I can't believe he's 5! It seems like just yesterday Stacey and I were in Oklahoma and got the call that Mandy was in labor. That was the longest ride home!

The girls and I didn't do much this week. Kate asked me to come and redo her living room. So Kalee and I did a lot of shopping while Peyton was at school. We went to Kate's Friday and spent the day. We rearranged, got her new curtains, and hung her pictures and things. I think it turned out pretty cute! It looks so much more spacious!

The girls had fun playing with Lily. She was pretty tired by the time we left, I think. She didn't want to miss anything and wouldn't take a nap! She is such a dancer! Pop came for lunch and had her on the table. She was sitting there wiggling her booty around! I took her the bouncing zebra that the girls had and she liked it. We put her on it and showed her how to ride it and bounce and pretty quickly she was bouncing like a mad woman!!

We carved our pumpkins Thursday night. We had 4 to do plus the girls had these Mr. Potato Head Pumpkin sets that they used on their little pumpkins. Kalee's pumpkin is Minnie Mouse (she is going to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween!!). Peyton's is Snow White...her favorite! Mine says Boo with eyes all over and Matt's is a spiderweb with spiders. Matt carved them all. He used his dremmel! He was completely covered in Pumpkin goo by the time he finished! But they look so cool!! Peyton helped me hollow out the pumpkins. Kalee wouldn't touch the innards! I got Peyton's costume ordered. She really wants to be Strawberry Shortcake! She is pretty excited about it. Please let it get here in time!!

Matt has the whole weekend off. AND...we have NOTHING to do! It is so great!!! I can't tell you the last time we did nothing all weekend. Yesterday they just played at home all day. I got to go run some errands ALL ALONE!! It was awesome! Today I am going to try to get some more scrapbooking done. I bought some cute things at Hobby Lobby yesterday. (Tara--I found the cutest embellishment...it's a coconut drink! It will be perfect for our coconut cruise drinks picture!!!)

I am also super excited about some Christmas presents I got. (That's right, Denny, still shopping...I know, you're disappointed in me!) Target had all sorts of Mickey Mouse and Strawberry Shortcake things in their $1.00 bin! Stocking stuffers...DONE!!

Well, I have cute pictures...but for some reason they won't upload again today. I'll work on it.

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
