I am feeling better, woot woot, but EVERYONE else in the house now has a stuffy head. Guess I just got it first so I could help everyone else out next. Yesterday was great. My Mom took Lizzy and Sam yesterday and I slept ALL DAY LONG. I think that made a BIg difference in me feeling better.

As I was internet surfing yesterday in my brain fogged glory I decided I REALLY want to go on a holiday. Trevor and I were going to go on a trip this year (5 year anniversary) but we want to go all alone and Abbi put a stop to my plans. Guess I will have to wait until next year. But now I have it in my head that I want to go. Somewhere warm, and with a beach. argh.

My Children

Are a blessing.

I often forget this. Funny how things like THE HEAD COLD FROM ****, can make you remember this.

I have a 3 month old that slept for 11 hours last night so that I could sleep for 10.

I have a son who thinks the greatest thing in the world is to just sit on my lap and play with my hands.

I have a daughter who can entertain herself, albeit movie after movie.

As I sit here at my computer wondering about the possiblitiy of that my head might explode I look at Lizzy sitting in her blue fold out chair in her new pink tutu (thankx ashton) completely happy. She has been showing me all her ballerina moves and is such a good help. Abbi is sitting on my lap eating her hands and Sam is sleeping. and this reminds me that yes, my children are a blessing. Brain fogs put things in perspective, I need to remember this better when my head is clear.

(she didn't want her picture taken)

The Handy Man

I LOVE being married to a handy man. lol. Today he put up Christmas lights on my house, he is building shelves for me in my storage room, putting the last coat of mud in the theater room. I might even get him to hang the numbers on my house for me.

I Love that I can say. I want shelves built in my basement, or garage or I want this hung up or whatever I want done and he can do it for me.

Maybe I am feeling the love because Thursday he let me go out to my weekly girls night with Kellie AND he kept Abbi. Then last night he stayed home alone again while I went with Jessie to New Moon ( sooo good. better than I expected. Wasn't really fond of Twilight, but this one was much better).

He is soo good to me.

I love my man!

I don't know if anyone remembers this post. But here she is Sucker #3. I have been trying sooo hard to get her to take the soother instead. 1 avid thumb sucker is enough. But how do you stop a 3 month old from sucking her thumb when she wakes up in the morning and does it?



I have been having her play with this toy. Sometimes she will lay there in awe and just watch it. Other times she SCREAMS at it. It's a love hate thing.



The other two however LOVE chocolate pudding. We made it for a treat last night after dinner.

Bumbo

My Grandma Craig got Abbi a Bumbo chair. She LOVES it. Sh had been yelling at Trevor all night but calmed down when we sat her in it. She sat there with her "zen, meditation, ninja" hands until she got tired enough that when we picked her up she went right to sleep. Lets just say Trevor and I like this thing too.

Yes

Yes we have our christmas decorations out

Yes Trevor has been asking to get a tree for WEEKS (I am still holding out.)

We are in full swing, Christmas, planning, shopping and celebrating

Tis the Season

A Holiday question

Do you think I will have a hard time at the border going down to the States for thanksgiving if Abbi's passport doesnt come by then??

I hope not.

Tomorrow..

I am going here.

We are going with Ryan and Angie.

The sad part is that I was looking through the list of nominees and I don't actually watch most of the shows. I watch "The Hour" while I am nursing at 4 am, and "Dragons Den" when I can find it. And a number of spin off shows from the States (Project Runway Canada, So you think you can dance Canada). Otherwise I have no clue. But it should be fun. I'm excited to dress up, I don't know what in, but I'm excited.

BEAST

Kambria sent me this.

Wow.

I missed

Time apart is always a good thing. It sure makes it nice to have them around again.

felt like a monday

When I lived in the states I needed a cosigner to get a credit card for $500 bucks.

Apparently however someone else can get a credit card under my name with a $10,000.00 limit.

Yes I have officially been identity thefted.

How did I find out? oh yes the collection agency that has been calling all of Trevors extended family looking for me.

Charming.

What are the chances of them voiding all the charges and letting me keep the card?

Blame Natalie lol!

Natalie left a comment wanting pictures so it is all her fault!! We have been BUSY.

Halloween: Abigail was a little bit punk rock. Actually we dyed her mouth with gentian violet to get rid of her thrush. After 2 months this stuff finally did the trick in only 2 doses. As you can see she likes it a lot



Lizzy and Sam went as a princess and a cowboy. We went to the stake Halloween party and then their uncles (troy and joel) took them trick or treating on Halloween night.



Trevor and I were golf balls



Of course the kids thought they were the best things to play with, until they totally demolished them.



Baby Blessing:

(the sickies didn't come)

After the blessing Abbi and I feel like this

Joel and Glenda took the older two kids to Wyoming for the week. I had a hard time letting go of my control but it has been AMAZING to have the week by myself. Poor Abbi has been toted all over the place all week as I have discovered the freedom of only having 1 child again.

She has been so good about it all.

While I have been "kid-lite" Trevor and I have: shopped, cleaned and sterilized my house, got all the laundry done, did Abigail's American citizenship, got her a passport, worked for Trevor's boss for a day, scrapbooked, gone out for lunch and dinner, mud and taped the basement, played cards, stayed out late and slept.

Before the kids left we went and got pictures done of them (THANKX MJ!!)

this is the best group photo, this is so my kids.

We gave up and did individuals

There it all is.

xoxox Nat!!
