You might have noticed I moved a few things around. I found a new tag board that will hopefully be working more often (hmph!) and a few new cliques – Christian Mama and Thankful Thursday! I hope you will surf them and enjoy them! Of course, I just joined and This Thankful Thursday is Thanksgiving and I won’t be home!! 🙁 Maybe I’ll try to post before I leave town!

I’ll try to post later about some of the things we are doing this week. Working on the webpages today so not alot of time!

Did you know that you can only do cannonballs in the water?!? I thought EVERYONE knew that. However, it is now apparent that boys who are 8.5 may not! I had to start my day by taking the subject 8.5 yr old ~aka J1~ to the DR today. And, he’s getting to heavy to carry all over!! LOL

Tonight we are taking J3 (2) and J2 (7) to “Disney on Ice” at the Arco Arena. Someone ~some generous person who doesn’t want us to know who they are ~~Thank you again if you are reading this~~ gave us 4 tickets and even some money for parking and treats!

Tomorrow night is Eric’s birthday party ~He’s going to be 40~ and we’ll be having a costume party with our family and a few of our friends. Funny ~ the room we are using for the party can only hold 50 and it was hard to leave people out! Oh, I’m sooooo glad we are home again!

I’ll try to post tomorrow about our party plans ~ I have some great appetizer recipes I’m going to try and I’ll share the recipes too! 🙂
