November 2009

November seemed to be jam pack too. The first week of November I did a Kids Market show to sell Scentsy. It went really well, but was long. Thankfully my parents came down to help me out. My dad kept the kids for the most part and mom and I were at the show all day. It was a fun visit though. They also bought us our Christmas present while they were here. A new camera!!! It is so nice. All the pictures from this month are from it. I just go around snapping pictures all the time. It is a Nikon D-40. I am so excited to figure it all out. The first place I got to take it was to Kelsey's open house at her preschool. Her class sang a song then we headed to her classroom to see all the projects they had been doing.




















Next, my bible study has an end of semester brunch and the kids come sing a couple of songs. Kelsey knew every word and every motion to each song. It was so cute. Unfortunately Harrison's class didn't get to do it. Maybe next semester.











Our plans changed last minute on Thanksgiving and we decided to stay home. It ended up being a really nice meal and day. It was very stress free (except for all the cooking). We were all in our pj's most of the morning and we ended up having to keep a 3 month old that my neighbor is fostering. She had to go to the emergency room and ended up having H1N1. But he was great and we had fun with him. Shawn fried a delicious turkey and veggies and I made stuffing, deviled eggs, and 2 pies. Don't feel to sorry for us we were stuffed.






































Last weekend Shawn and I (mostly Shawn) put up Christmas lights on our house. It's the first time he had ever done it himself. It was a little hairy in some places (as you can see in the picture below) but it turned out like a professional had done it! Next year will definitely be easier since we know what we're doing know.











The day before Thanksgiving we put up some Christmas decorations. The kids had a blast going through it all. We are going to put up the tree this weekend.











This morning, Black Friday, I got up at 5:30 am and hit a couple of stores before Shawn went to work. This was my first time to ever do that. I must say it's kinda fun and invigorating to get all those great deals, but WOW the people. I wish I had time to hit more but I had to get home so Shawn could make money to pay for all that stuff. Oh well....

These are just some cute pictures that I took with our new camera.

October 2009

Well, I decided to catch up by months on my blog because I haven't been good at all about keeping up with it lately. This post is for October so I will try to recap what I can for you. October went by really fast. I had a ton of Scentsy parties and things. Yeah! Kelsey had her 4 year check up. She did great. She passed all the eye and hearing exams. She did get the flu mist and did sooo much better than last year. Harrison got the flu shot and after it was over he said "oh, that hurts" and that was it. He's such a tough guy.

Kelsey's class went to a pumpkin patch that had pig races and a petting zoo. It was really neat. Shawn and Harrison got to come so we all had a great time. Below are some pictures of Kelsey on the hay ride and Harrison petting the animals and Kelsey and Harrison on the hay ride.
































For Halloween Kelsey and Harrison went as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They got to were their costumes several times and had so much fun in them. We went to our neighborhood Halloween Carnival and to a near by church carnival that is huge. After that we went trick or treating. Harrison was very into the trick or treating. He loved getting candy. He actually ended up with about twice as much as Kelsey because he kept taking candy out of the poor peoples bowl. Oh well, maybe next year he will get down proper trick or treating etiquette.






















And that was our October.....oh yeah, I turned 31...blah blah blah.
