I am so thankful that this week has come to a close...
Time to relax a little and get ready for the craziness of next week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve is home tonight...
He drove home after work for a night of
5 times climbing onto the roof...
but it was worth it!
Do you think I would be pushing my luck to ask him to put a bunch around the tree and bushes?~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is SUPPOSED to be Steve's last week end with the Guard...
After 23 years he is retiring...
but as with all military procedures there is a problem with the paperwork....
he'll find out tomorrow if he has to drill for a few more months....
military intelligence~~~HA!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michaela worked past her fear of singing in front of people...
and tried out for a part in the 8th grade play...
the cast list came out today...
she is a candy kid...
We do not know what part that is...
We do know it is a minor, minor part...
but we are so proud of her for stepping WAY out of her comfort zone and trying!!!
Michaela is just thrilled she does not have to sing a solo on stage!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emma had a GREAT week..
It is almost scary how well it has gone...
She is reading everything in sight...
Hard to believe just a few months ago we couldn't get her to willingly read anything...
soon the days of spelling things we do not want her know about will come to an end:(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Steve was up on the roof tonight he looked down and said..
"Have I mentioned how much I like my job?"
My response...
"Have I mentioned how much I like you having a job?"
It's the little things--paychecks and insurance--that make me happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be cutting down our Christmas tree this week-end...
a family tradition we were not been able to do for the last few years...
I cannot wait to see Emma searching for the 'perfect one'...
It is the anticipation and excitement in the girls' faces that make the season special!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve and Emma are downstairs watching Santa Clause is coming to Town...
Michaela is in bed reading...
I am upstairs enjoying peace, solitude, and.....
I LOVE WINTER!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomorrow is filled with cleaning and studying...
so I am going to enjoy the rest of the fire...
and then go up to my nice warm bed compliments of my husband who sleeps on my side of the bed until I come up so it will be nice and warm for me!!!!
it's one of the reasons I keep him around!
