Change of plans.......

We had BIG plans this morning, we got up and dressed and were heading to the pumpkin patch. It looked cloudy out, so we checked the weather channel and of course it showed rain coming our way! We changed our plans and went out to breakfast instead!

after breakfast we went to the mall and Grace Anne gave us LOTS of ideas for Christmas!HA! It turned out to be a fun day!

and in case your wondering.....NO it did not rain, it was a beautiful day!!! Oh well, it looks like we will be heading to the pumpkin patch next weekend!:-)

Baby Love

Since August my friend Jessica and I have traded out babysitting so we can have a morning to our self! So on Tuesday's Drew and I get to rock this sweet girl......

Drew adores "Baby Kayla"! He is so sweet with her, he told me today that he wanted a baby at our house!!!! I told him we will have one at our house...........on every Tuesday!HA!

Mckayla's big brother Deane(he's 2) and Drew always has a BLAST playing together! We enjoy our Tuesday playdate and are BLESSED with wonderful friends!

But the best part is that on Wednesday's Drew goes and plays at their house!!! :-)

It's raining it's pouring!!!

We finally got some MUCH needed rain, and as luck would have it, I had LOTS of errands that HAD to be done today, so Drew and I put on our rain gear and headed out for a wet afternoon!

Drew was very excited that he got to wear his raincoat! He told me today that he NEEDS some rainboots and that we NEED to put it on his Christmas list! HA!

Amber's here!!!!

We are so excited that Amber is here visiting us this weekend!!!! The kids have been asking all week when she would finally be here!

Thursday night we headed to the airport to pick her up

Can you tell they are EXCITED?!?!?!



YAY! There she is!!!!

And this is how the kids were the rest of the night!!!

Looks like these two may get a little spoiled this weekend!!!:-)

It's the most wonderful time on the year......

What have we been up to?

Well..........if you look at my calendar and then look at what we have done this week, you will see that we had ALOT of unplanned things occur! Being the planner that I am, making unexpected changes just throws me for a loop, but I am learning to chill out and go with the flow. I did say, I am learning, I am not there yet! HA!

I have LOTS of things I would LOVE to blog about, but I just have not had the time, and when I finally get the time, I am so far behind on blogging that I just can't keep up and I end up stressing. So, I am just going to QUIT!!! HAHA! JUST JOKING!!!!

No, really I have decided I will just post when I can, and if I only post once a week, well that's okay! BTW this is my blog and I will do what I want to! HAHA! Can you tell I am in a silly mood tonight! That's what happens to you when you stay home with kids all day!:-)

Okay, enough rambling for now, here are some pictures from the past week!

Drew doing his "school work", since I am being selfish and keeping my baby home with me just one more year, I figured I needed to do some kind of school with him. So, we do "school" a few mornings a week.

Here are the kids the other day, I gave them a snack and told them to go and sit at the table. They just love each other so much!

Look at these sweet faces!!!
They really are the BEST of friends.

And here are the kids in the car, yep that's were we spend most of our time, going here there and everywhere!!!!

poor Drew even gets a nap in every now and then!

Okay that is enough for now! Oh yea, I did get my van back this week!!!! YAY!!!
Okay I am going for real now! :-)
