Thanksgiving Break

I know that it has been a while since I have blogged but it has been crazy. Scott finally got home from North Dakota late Thursday night only to inform me that he will probably have to go back in a couple of weeks. I was so tired most nights that I went to bed at like 9:30. I felt like an old lady but I couldn't help it. Anyway, we are leaving today to go to my grandma's house up by Amarillo. We will be there until late Thanksgiving evening and then we will be coming home. I will have pictures from there I am sure. Both of the kids are well but again my allergies are killing me and I have a sinus infection. I am sure that I picked it up from the daycare but at least my babies don't have it. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and we will see you later!!!

Super busy Weekend!!

Well, I know that I have not posted in over a week, let me catch you up....
Maeci and I both had the stomach virus for like 4 hours each, Scott found out he had to go to North Dakota for work this next week, we slept alot from being sick and then didn't sleep at all when Maeci was sick. That about catches us up until Thursday.....Ok, now, a couple of weeks ago, my parents had purchased tickets to take Maeci to the Backyardigans Live in Grand Prairie today. Well, my Dad ended up having a semi-emergent neck surgery and so he asked Scott and I to take her. We said "yes" and were secretly excited as the Backyardigans is probably our favorite cartoon that the kids watch. So, we were all ready to go and then, Scott finds out that he has to be in North Dakota on Monday. He has to drive so he had to leave today with another guy that he works with. Of course, I got the fun job of taking both kids to the Backyardigans by myself. I was actually kind of dreading it not because I didn't want to take her but because I was going to take her and be wrestling Camden as well. Much to my excitement, the total opposite happened. Both kids were absolutely perfect!! No acting crazy, no fits, no throwing cups (Camden Wesley), and all potty breaks were taken at the appropriate times. I could not believe it!! Of course, I bribed her with whatever she wanted, so after cotton candy, popcorn, a Backyardigans light up wand, and a t-shirt for each child, we were off to our seats. The show was great!! I would do it again in a heartbeat. If you have never been to the Nokia Theater, you should go. Anyway, we had a great time and I really enjoyed it alot!

Camden

This past weekend I got a cute video of Camden while he was playing. We have been working on getting him to do the "touchdown" signal and he started doing it. It's really funny!! He will do it and then start laughing because he thinks its hilarious. Gotta love the monster pjs too!!

Somber Day

Well, I wasn't going to blog about the election results but it's my feelings and my blog so here we go....My thoughts have been very sporadic since last evening. I will first say that I am extremely disappointed in the election this year. I feel like the best candidate did not win but it doesn't really matter since I did vote and my guy/girl didn't win. Now, my feelings about Obama are not about him as a person, just about his opinions and policies. I think some of his ideas are ridiculous and will never work but I also think that maybe with some help, a few of his ideas might be okay. My main worry is about our country and its enemies. We have a lot of people that don't like us and for us to vote in someone who really has no idea how to run our military is very scary. I am sure the Mr. Obama has a great learning curve with his education and all but I hope that he is very careful about how he handles our foreign affairs. I know that some of you reading probably voted for him and while I don't agree, that is my opinion. I will not however be disrespectful to a man who just basically became the new President of the United States. I will give him a chance (ok, I will try to) and I hope that he proves me wrong on some of the things that I say he will never be able to do. I know that all-in-all, God is in control and since I pray everyday, I really don't have anything to worry about. So, Obama has my prayers that he is able to make the right choices that will benefit the most people in our country and I truly hope that he is able to help get the market back the way it should be, because if he doesn't, we will really be in a world of hurt and the next president will be inheriting a mess a million times worse than Obama.

Here are some of the pictures from Halloween. The kids had a great time!! I planned a fall festival like party for the daycare that I work at and we went to that before we went trick-or-treating. That is where the kids are in these pictures. Camden, of course, has not interest in the games, just playing in the water fountain. I used to think that people who said boys were just so different were just weird, but now that I have one, he is wired totally different than Maeci. He has eaten more dirt and rocks in his 13 months than she has in her 4 1/2 years! :) Anyway, it was very fun for us and for the kids. The little girls in the top picture are some of Maeci's friends from the daycare and they were playing musical chairs. They had way too much candy but they definitely enjoyed themselves!!
