A friend to be thankful for

I have been a slacker on posting what I am thankful for. Opps!

Today I am thankful for Kassy! Kassy is my best friend. We have been best friends for about 20 years now! Holy crap....am I really old enough to have a friend for that long?? Today is Kassy's birthday! She's old. She is like the sister I never had and I love her dearly. She is a total nerd and I love her even more for that. I just know we will be friends forever and that makes me happy!

One more thing

Isn't this picture funny! I can't stop laughing at it! Oh Addy I sure do love your face!

Thankful for vitamin C

Today I feel sick and so today I am thankful for these wonderful little fruits that are in season right now! Love you vitamin C! Every year I get so excited when the yummy little clementines are in season it makes my tummy so happy.

I am also thankful for days off so I can take random pictures of fruit. That is all!

Halloween!!

We had a wonderful Halloween this year! Addy and Luke loved it! We did all the fun stuff decorated cookies, carved pumpkins, baked pumpkin bread, watched "The Corpse Bride" and, of coarse tricker treated. We only took Addy to my parents house and then over to my Brother's house but she loved every minute of it. Luke on the other hand went with his best friend and they scored big time on the candy! Below are some pictures of our Halloween fun. Addy in her Gnome costume and Luke in his orphan costume. And Shane in his beard. And one of Luke and I very intensely decorating cookies!









I finally had a chance to take down the rest of my decorations today so now the holidays can officially begin. I am super excited for the holidays this year! I think Addy and Luke are going to love it!

Oh and today I am thankful for a warm house that is full of the smell of freshly baked banana bread.

Today is one of those days....

where I have to remind myself of all the things that I should be grateful for. I woke in a fine mood. On my way to work I sent Shane a text that said "Addy was being such a sweetie! I love being her mom!" True statement. She makes me happy! And then I got to work and I turned into an uber-grouch! What? I know I'm at work so that is why I am grouchy. Wrong! Usually work doesn't really make me that grumpy. It is a combination of things really....some I would rather not talk about and others whatever I should just get over being blind in one eye for the day. Blah! November is the month to remember to be thankful so that is what I am trying to do the rest of the day. Be thankful!!!

Today I am thankful that I have such wonderful and funny children. That make me want to live each and everyday....weather I am blind in one eye or not.

Oh for the love of puppies!!

On Monday it was cold and rainy and last Friday Sally (puppy #1) got spayed so for these reason I felt I had no other choice than to leave the puppies in the house. Alone. For about 8 hours. I could just tell you what they did but I think that it is best to just show you.




Needless to say we have had to find other alternatives on where to leave the dogs on cold, wet days. Lesson learned. I still love them and I did not kill them :)

PS. I was really sick of that chair and I want a new one anyway. So lets just look at this as a good thing. Right?

Just a funny little story

Yesterday it snowed and snowed and then it snowed some more. Needless to say when Addy and I walked out the front door yesterday morning there was quit a bit of snow on the ground. Well Addy being as cute as she is gasped and said "oh bubbles!!" It was so funny! She thought that the snow was a bunch of bubbles! And even though I kept telling her all day that it was snow she still insisted that it was bubbles. Oh well it is cute!

On another note Addy got to dress up in her garden gnome costume today and I just have to say she looked adorable! I will post some pictures later but for now you just have to trust that she looked just cute!
