The Cowboy

Yesterday for a special treat we went out to eat at Longhorn. The kids were fascinated by the decor. There were lots of questions about the animal heads hanging on the wall. When we got to our table, Piper noticed some cowboy boots on a shelf. Without hesitation she said (loudly), "Did they kill the man too?" They had killed all the animals so they must of killed the cowboy to get his boots.

Santa

Cy has decided he wants to be Santa when he grows up. Santa gets lots of cookies and Cy LOVES cookies!! Maybe his dream will come true.

Gobbled

My sick little girl had just said, "I wish I could just wake up and this would all be a dream." We then heard a knock on the front door. There was a plate of goodies on our doorstep. We had been GOBBLED! This cute turkey cupcake brought a big smile to my girl's face. She even ate the entire cupcake. Thank you to the family who gobbled us! You made one very sad girl happy!!

Some Fun Pictures

A friend of mine offered to take the kids pictures one day. There are so many pictures I need to look through, but these are just a few of the fun ones I pulled out.

So Much to be Thankful For

I just wanted to take a minute and write a few of the things I am thankful for.

• I am thankful for our six VERY active, fun, loving children we have been blessed with. They love to stay busy which keeps me very busy, but I wouldn't change it for anything.


• I am thankful for the great job I have working at the preschool. I get to be with my three youngest and even have Adaleigh in class with me.


• I am thankful for a husband who is very patient with me and loves me despite my craziness.


• I am thankful for the loving, supportive family I have. They do so much for us. I don't know where we would be without their help.


• I am thankful for a van that has a tv in it. The youngest three spend atleast 2-3 hours in the car every afternoon taking the older three too and from their activities. It sure is nice to put in a movie and give them something to watch.


• I am thankful for the fabulous teachers each of my children have this year. They are all so good and all of my kids are happy!!

Something New

I have patiently (that is the new part...I am never patient) been trying to find bunk beds for the boys and the girls rooms. I check craigslist several times a day. There was finally a posting in Murfreesboro. The beds were brand new delivered 7/19. They were too big for the room they were bought for. The people were selling for $350. I didn't have $350, but thought since it was in Murfreesboro I would go look at it. They lived two minutes from my house. I showed up that night and the man told me they were out back. They were getting ready to store them in their storage shed. He had taken the beds apart and they were still in the original boxes. The lady said if I would take them right then she would sell them to me for $50. The neighbor came over to help load 10 boxes of bunk beds in my van. I was determined to make it fit. Spent the next day assembling the beds, and I think I got a great deal. Still don't understand why she was willing to sell for $50, but I am so grateful. She said she just wanted them to go to someone who could use them. I assured her they would definitely be used and appreciated. I already had mattresses and bedding so it was perfect!! Now if I can just find a deal on a set of white bunk beds!!

Reunited At Last

This was E's first night back in Murfreesboro. Piper has been so excited for E to be back. These two were determined to sleep together in Piper's twin bed. I can't believe they actually went to sleep and stayed asleep.
