Love It!!

Love it and just getting heavier and heavier!  We already made some “snowkids” in the front yard and plan to head back out soon….then will defrost our toes by the fire this afternoon.  

Also love the fact that dining room and living room are PAINTED!  Thanks mommy and daddy for the help!  Now the final room…the kitchen…I’m thinking yellow…got to convince Jefferson!!

That is what I was doing on my way out the doorway from the endocronolgist’s office.  All of my thyroid levels are stable and the same as last year, so the doc gave me another year off.  So very, very grateful!!!!  Might do a few more happy dances today to celebrate this wonderful news!!!!

Even though our big girl Sarah Jo came home sick from school today….my birthday was perfect.  Tons of emails and phone calls from friends far and near…THANK YOU…flowers from NanaK…special dinner at Nana and Papa’s with nothing else but Cherry Chip cake for dessert….and a charm bracelet on order from Jeff and the girls with two little baby shoes one with a June birthstone, the other with a July birthstone, so that I can always have my baby girls with me no matter where they are. 

Looking forward to a wonderful year….always thankful and grateful that I am here to spend it with Jeff and our girls…not a day goes by that I do not thank the guy above for that opportunity!! Here’s to an amazing 39th year!!

I cannot believe that our girlies are back to school today…..the two weeks went way too fast!  Great Wolf Lodge was a blast, as was all of the Christmas activities.  Just missing my girlies today and a bit teary eyed…I like it most when all my little cub bears are home with me.  It will be better by the end of the week.  Hopefully we can get pictures from our Christmas adventures posted soon.  Happy New Year!!

Sam Sam’s preschool adventures!!

On Monday, I, Sammy Jane, got my 3rd virtue slip for helping the maintanience man rake leaves during my first recess a few weeks ago.  Last night I raided the Target dollar bin and got lots of fun new plastic animals that I am enjoying playing make believe with.  

On Tuesday, I got into a little bit of trouble during circle time because ” I just could not help myself!!!” with playing with the items hanging on the wall.  When Mrs. O’Connell asked me to move to a different spot on the carpet I burst into tears…but tomorrow, I’m going to sit on the sun…away from the wall!

On Wednesday, I came up with a brillant idea that I shared with Mrs. O’Connell…to turn the dress up/drama area into Santa’s workshop.  Mrs. O’Connell loved the idea and the play area will be transformed after Thanksgiving.

On Thursday, somehow I got left behind from my class at the bathroom…most likely because I turned around to talk to my bestest friend Ava and did not realize my class was walking back to the classroom.  Luckily, another teacher delivered me back to class…with a tear stained face of course.

Good news…I have next week off from preschool to recover!!

Oh and big sissy got a rockin report card and has a parent/teacher conference next Tuesday that mommy will post about next week.

Only 4 more days until our LELE arrives…we can’t wait!!!

Now I’m not certain where October went, but I pretty much think too many late nights with a paint brush in my hand!  I “think” I might be done painting until after the holidays, but we will see.  The entire house has been done, except the dining/living room and the kitchen.  The kitchen will wait, the dining/living room needs to be completed when we get the ceilings redone, but I’m hoping that will be after the holiday season.  Fingers crossed!

Both of the girlies are doing awesome in school.  They got to head to Target last week for a special gift, Sarah Jo got a rockin’ progress report and Samantha Jane received another virtue slip.  Of course, Sarah Jo picked out a craft at Target and Sam Sam picked out some Littlest Pet Shop doggies, we would expect nothing different from each of them.

This coming weekend is super busy and fun filled.  Lots of parties leading up to Halloween!  I will be working at both of the classroom parties for the girls on Monday.  I can’t wait, it should be a fun time and I’m really looking forward to it!

Tonight, Sarah Jo’s gymnastics coach asked all the little girls on her team to be flower girls at her wedding in March.  You can only imagine how excited they all are.  The wedding is in March, so we have lots of time to practice throwing rose petals.

Happy Halloween!

Den, family room, new laundry room/bathroom remodel, upstairs entryway, still lots to do, but hoping to tackle the stair hallway today, then on to two closets and the dining and living room….will be painting for awhile!!
