Home Show

Life certainly hasn't been dull around here. Scott decided to drop out of his counseling program so he could pursue selling solar panels more full time. Luckily he dropped out just in the nick of time and he may get most of his tuition back. Sweet! Scott and a few co-workers went to The Home Show this weekend and were killing it. They booked a lot of appointments and hopefully some of them will pan out. Apparently 10% go through so you really have to keep up those appointments to make it work.

I painted my bedroom and the laundry room this week. It seems like it shouldn't be as hard or exhausting as it is but what can I say, it is. It's especially exhausting when I'm trying to paint and still somewhat take care of my kids. So I have to stop to say feed them, or play a round of Candy Land. My goal this week...grocery shopping. We seriously, seriously need some groceries and meal plans up in here!

Scott's sister Carole had a baby girl on Friday. She was born with Down Syndromes disease and they didn't know beforehand, so that was quite shocking to find out. She looks so sweet and I want to squish her cheeks. I think it would be most helpful to be a witch and use a portkey to get on over there.

On Friday I took the three little kids to a different library's story time. They liked it and it just so happened that for some reason they were giving away free books. Gabby and Piper both got these really cool princess books with magnets in them. They are in a different language but I think they mostly wanted the magnets anyway.

Kid Quotes:
Corbin: After I was exasperated about something talking to Corbin he said, "It's stressful being a mom." Truer words were never spoken. Haha.
Gabby: "Mom, was my trick pretty impressive?"
G: "Piper thinks she knows everything." Me:"You think you know everything. " G:"Well I do know a lot."
Piper: Me:"Alright goodnight love bugs" P:"I'm not love bugs, I'm sweet Piper."

After picking up Corbin from school one day we went and played at the park one day. Ryan loved it!


Yep, never a dull moment.

New paint, bedspread, and curtains.

Leaf Fort

Finally made Halloween cookies. I use the term loosely since most of them are Christmas cut outs. Who cares the kids love decorating them, and I love eating them. Winning.


Corbin helped Scott blow the leaves on Saturday.

Gabby's talk that she laughed the entire time last week.
Cute Ryan, I don't know how you haven't been seriously injured with our crazy life.
