I'll catch up on the last few posts later when I have Dean down for a nap!!
It's been a crazy weekend!!! Having Dae Lynn and Karlie home really changes things around here!!! Dae Lynn's a great help but has her own ideas on what needs to get done so I just follow her lead and try to stay positive about it all.
We had a great Thanksgiving!! It was just us and Amy's family for the noon meal. Then later on the others joined us for left overs. They had both been at their other family's house for the noon meal. Before Feyn's family and Jaci and Nate got here we all took four wheeler rides!! The weather was so nice......a little chilly but not bad. I'm starting to tell that I've lost weight because I am a little more cold than I have been!!
We all went off of our diet for the day but not too bad.....by Saturday I was back on!!!
Our little Alco store had some Thanksgiving and Friday sales so Dae Lynn and I ran in and bought a few Christmas gifts for the kids. I've also bought some things on Aeropostale....if you "like" stores on FB they'll have coupon codes to use when you buy something from them. I save 40% on Aeropostale on stuff that was already 50% off!!!
On Saturday Dae Lynn decided that she wanted the Christmas tree up so we got out all of the stuff and got it decorated. With the kids helping it was pretty fustrating!! I have soooo many decorations and some are fragile so having the kids dig through all of them was hard. We didn't get near all of them on but the tree looks full enough....plus we tried to keep the wood and plastic down low where Dean can reach.
Then yesterday after church Dae Lynn, Amy, and I went to Walmart. Dae Lynn picked up groceries while I worked on gifts for a stocking for church that will go to inner city Chicago. We fill them with toys and stuff and they pass them out to poor kids up there. I still need to pick up some toiletry thing and then I'm done.
Ahhhhh......today is back to normal!!! Dae Lynn and Karlie are back at school and it's just Dean and me at home!!! I have to admit that I enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with just having Dean!!! I haven't been on as much as I'd like to but sometimes when I sit down with the computer I want to do things that I don't have to think so much about. It's like my brain just wants to shut off. I've been taking more baths in the evening and it's where I sit and read in peace and quiet.
I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving!!!
