Almost Thanksgiving.......

Well....it's almost Thanksgiving which means SCHOOL VACATION!! I will be off chauffeur duties for 5 days!!! Whooooo Hooo!!!! The kids will be able to sleep in (as will I). I love school vacations. Can you tell!

Thanksgiving will be held at my house with my family this year. mmmmmm Turkey, stuffing, mashed taters and family. I enjoy it. Now if only I can keep my house tidy so it won't be so much work at the last minute......one can hope!

Pacey is sick the last two days. Poor guy. That being said, hope no one else gets his sickness! Just a sore throat and fever. No symptoms of the pig flu.....yet!

When will the laundry faires make it to my house? I keep waiting but the piles keep growing taller! I hate the white load....too many socks. And of course there are more mis-matched socks that those that make a pair (thanks to the little boys in my house who could care less if their socks matched!). Ian leaves me notes on the counter requesting a load of jeans be done. He must have forgotten he knows how to do a load of wash. Silly boy! Now when it comes to sorting the colors, poor guy, he can't do it....he's color blind. Pink looks white to him. Can you imagine what our laundry would look like if left to him?????? AAAAhhhhhh. So Pacey must be trained in the ways of laundry sorting. He's really looking forward to that I am sure!
My wonderful husband is off for the day and has brought me lunch...so I will be done blogging for now to go eat.

Happy almost holidays.

Seven weeks of school

This picture is of Chris & I on our 11th wedding anniversary. We were at The Crows Nest in Santa Cruz. What fun we had. Can't you just tell by the expressions on our faces???? It was a good and relaxing weekend. We all need more of those types

But all good things must come to an end....SCHOOL STARTED!!!

We went camping for Labor day weekend. Here is a pic of Pacey and his cousin Curtis while fishing. Chris caught one, no one else did. He also had to put it back due to it's small size! But at least he got to enjoy something he hardly gets to do.

I have been counting the weeks since school started so I know there is an end in sight. I want summer vacation!! But I will accept any vacation that may come our way. Ian is doing great, straight A's on his first progress report. He was thrilled. Seventh grade is showing him what homework is really like...and he isnt' impressed. Pacey is actually trying to do his daily reading. He has figured out if he wants to play Xbox, ALL his homework must be done.

Chris is working too hard, but I have actually seen him sit on the couch for more than 10 minutes to watch the NASCAR races on the weekend. Good for him. Me, I am just plugging along. Looking for a way to make some money but not have work interfere with the boys school schedule. Not all that easy to find a job with such flexibility. Or maybe I really don't want to "go to work" I would rather do some work on Chris' websites to help increase the income that is already there. That would be nice if it started making enough so Chris could become a consultant and not a full time employee to someone else.

And so continues the fun and mayhem in our lives. If you like to know what's going on with our lives. keep checking back for updates.
