Okay the reason that is the title is cause Sydney just walked up to me with two different pairs of underwear and asked me which she should wear. LOL.
November is the most insane month of my whole year so the whole National Blog Posting Month a post a day thing is extremely ridiculous given everything I have to do, so I had to give it up. Maybe February when I probably will have three things going on.
This was the first year (aside from morning after giving birth to Sydney) that I have not gone out at like 4:30 am for Black Friday. I was sad, but I did get some AWESOME deals from www.houseof3.com. I love their designs and creativity.
This next week is going to be crazy and then hopefully things will slow down a bit. We are kicking off with a birthday party for the kids tonight. I was going to invite some friends as well, but I just did not get around to it. I barely got the family invited lol. We have a boutique going on in Ephraim that ends this week, one that starts Tuesday (Jeni B; Holladay), one that starts Thursday (old PG community center), and one that starts Friday (Oakley). On top of all that, I am in charge of my Ward Christmas Party, which is Saturday. I have called and left messages (a few more than one) for different organizations for our ward to participate in some service projects and I have NOTHING nailed down. Freaking OUT. Why won't anyone call me back???
Whatever, I guess it will be okay. No matter what, we are having breakfast and writing letters of appreciation to men and women who are serving out country in Afghanistan. I figured missionaries would love the letters but they are doing something uplifting. I would guess the spirits of the military need uplifting more (that and we have one missionary in our ward).
It will be great, we have so many new peeps in the area and this will be a great way to get to know them.
This is such a great time of year, its a good thing I am in good health and do not have high blood pressure or I might not make it, lol. But all in all, I do love it.
As for Thanksgiving, I am grateful for my family. Since I feel like that is such a generic thing to say, I will add to it. My parents always taught us to work hard and they made us do things right, we never got away with doing anything half way. I did not like them much for it but I am grateful that when I do something, I general give it my all. I am grateful for all their hard work in making our family healthy, provided for, etc. I am grateful for my grandparents who taught them how to have a good time. We always play games and just have a good time. No one gets sooo into the games that they are not fun, so that is good! I am grateful for my siblings. I really could not have asked for better. We all get along, for the most part. We have had our squabbles here and there and the childhood fights, but all in all, I enjoy the company of all of them. I could not imagine my life with out any-- I don't know if I could survive having 6 kids, but if I did, I think it would be more for them than me. Lots of siblings is lots of fun ;). My brother is young, but he is always nice and helpful. He helps with the kids and entertains them (a little rough sometimes, but he is 14...). He always offers to carry my stuff out to the car when I leave (I take my house with me each time I go!). And my sisters are all very good to me. They are the way I get little breaks here and there from my kids, taking them for sleepovers and such. Ethan and Syd love going to Jenni's and playing with the neighbor kids. They prob play w/ her neighbors more than mine! This past week, Allison took them to Kangaroo Zoo (where she works) for their birthdays and they had so much fun.
I am grateful for Jody. He is a responsible individual and he loves me and our kids. He plays games with them, etc. He even set up a tent and had a sleepover with Ethan in the theater room. Ethan just LOVED it. My time is up. Done feeding the babe. Now I am off to rush around the house and finish getting ready for this party!!!! WEEEHOOOO (for all you Gwen Stefani fans out there!)
Santa is bringing us a fun game for Christmas and it would be so much fun (ha at least to me!) to have a girl's night here playing it (SingStar). And maybe scrapbooking or something. (and one of the games has Sweet Escape if you enjoy singing WOOOhoooo Yeeehooooooooooo lol).
OKAY ramble session: OVER!
