Football is over!

We ended the football season with a less than stellar season. Joshua has learned a lot, so it wasn't completely wasted time. They did have a win last week, but that was the only one for the season. Joshua is so excited about his new found "freedom."

All of us have been battling different levels of colds. I felt terrible on Sunday, and I still don't have my voice. Joshua and Caleb have low grade fevers, and mostly just want to lay around today. I'm ready for this bug to move on. Bring on the flu shots!

With Caleb and Luke's school out for two days this week, Mom has been overrun with little boys. Today, as she was trying to help Joshua with some worksheets, the other two were being quite disruptive. She finally put her head in her hands (I've been there), and after a few minutes Caleb comes up to her and asks: "Grandma, what do you think would happen if you put mashed up potato chips up your nose and then you sneezed?"

Gotta love Caleb for a tension breaker!

At 80 degrees today, it doesn't feel much like fall, but we've got activities planned for the season. I've got a pumpkin waiting to be carved. We are going to a Fall Festival this weekend that the boys are excited about. MOPS has started back up, and I love "skipping" work to go meet with other moms of youngsters, plus the great food. I've got reservations for my youth group to go see Judgment House. I love this time of the year, and I'm looking forward to a weekend trip to Pigeon Forge in November so the boys can see all the lights! Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner! And with Christmas comes the end of the year. And with the end of the year, comes the end of my work commitment. I'm already thinking of my "new year's resolutions" that I can tackle once I am home again full-time. It will be here before I know it, and my little Caleb will turn 5 in the middle of all this chaos. Crazy. Where does the time go?

Enjoy the fall everyone!Luke playing on the computer again!

Where's Joshua? He's in the basket!

Great Weekend!

We have had a wonderful weekend with friends.

We started Friday night with a Star Wars - Clone Wars house party thanks to houseparty.com They sent a DVD with the premiere Clone Wars episode plus lots of party favors. The boys got to play, eat, and watch the new cartoon. Joshua said that the worst part was when everyone left.All the boys watching the new show.Some of the moms trying on the masks. Maybe the won't recognize us!

Saturday evening, we met a couple to see the movie Fireproof. It is from the same folks who made Facing the Giants. Click on the link to see the trailer and learn more about it...action, romance, humor. It could change your marriage! I definitely recommend it!

Joshua only has two more weeks left to football. He is very excited, and we are too. This will give us about 6 more hours to our weeknight evenings!
We started a new year of MOPS. The boys were very proud to show off their puppy crafts made during MOPPETS. Luke is trying to tilt his head for the best view of his hat.
