Wednesday!

Today was alot better than Monday and even yesterday. After hearing what happened to Sabrina Salo's family it was very important for us to do a fire drill. So we cleaned the whole downstairs, rearranged the boys' rooms and practiced over and over our fire drill. The boys did awesome, we are going to do a suprise one twice a month, its something that they can never get enough practice on. I felt SO much better after watching them jump out their window and run to the meeting place. Fire is so scary and such a horrible way to die, it breaks my heart that Sabrinas family is going through so much pain.

After work we went to goodwill and walmart with Jessi. WOW, all the kids were in rare form, if we were drinkers we would of been drunk before we left walmart. It was SO stressful, but we made it home and all the kids are still alive lol!

Today I picked up Josh and Brandon at school then went to Jessis for lunch and we did a couple odds and ends for the party on friday night. I am so excited for this halloween party! Tonight I am taking Parker back to Royal Rangers. He misses it and I miss the "heather" time after I drop him off, aahh to hear silence again, what bliss =)

My birthday

My day was really good. We woke up and Don was hunting for a couple more hours, so I took a shower and got the boys ready. After Don got home he took a shower and then we headed to Moses with the Lish Family. We ate at the China Buffet 2 and although it was good, it didn't agree with 3 of the 12 people =( then we took off to Good Will so I could find some clothes for our scarecrow were going to make at work, even found a pair of overalls for Josh oh and my halloween costume for friday night, Don got the cape to his. Then we went to the Corn Maze in Quincy. It was confusing but the boys had a really good time. Then we went to my moms where she had prepared a yummy taco dinner, all the kids played outside until after dark, then we ate some yummy carrot cake and visited and went home. It was a really great day!

Today sucked! Joshua had a field trip to the pumpkin patch/dairy. My mom went with him and he wore his new overalls, so cute! It was cold and raining sometimes. Work was SO stressful. Alot of kids and none of them had ears to hear, even mine! I was so frustrated by the time I got off I just wanted to scream!! We went down and completly cleaned the downstairs and re-arranged the boys' room, it looks so nice down there, for today anyway lol. I am getting ready to head to bed early cause I'm over tired!!

Almost a month!

Wow, I cant believe its been almost a month. Its been busy, emotional and draining. First I will say Happy Birthday to myself lol! Today I'm the big 32 woohoo!! We are going to take the boys to the corn maze, eat some dinner and head to my moms for some cake, that is when Don gets back from hunting a very sore subject for him lol. He has only seen 1 buck and it was little, while our friend Leo got his on the 2nd day. Don did go and help him drag the big mother out and we got to see it skinned, wow that was SO gross!

Lets try and go back as far as I can remember. The first thing which is sad is that my Cousin Donny commited suicide. What a void he left in our family. Please remember to pray for his mom and dad and sister, its such a hard time right now.

Patrick is doing AWESOME in flag football, he didn't know if he would like it because last year he did tackle but he does like it. Yesterday he caught the ball and ran it in for a touch down, then got the extra point, it was amazing!! He was on fire!! We get alot of complements on that boys athletic ability.

Work is going really good. I enjoy it alot. I get to play all day, visit with Katie, eat snack AND get paid for it, doesn't get much better than that!

The other boys are doing great, just chugging along. Next friday Jessi and I are having an adult Halloween party. We are SOO excited! So far there is about 20 people coming. We did alot of the decorating yesterday, it looks great! I cant wait to post some pictures of the night!

Well I'm going to close so I can take a shower!! I apologize for not updating sooner!
