Hey Everyone, I have already gotten behind on keeping up with blogging! Sorry about that. We have been very busy lately, but then again, when are we not busy. WE have 3 kids!!!
So Halloween was so much fun. We had a bunch of people over at our house to go trick or treating. The kids were all cute in their costumes. I was going to post some pictures for everyone to see but the computer CRASHED a week or so ago and I haven't figured out how to load them onto this one yet. Hopefully Tommy can show me.
He did get our Christmas photos loaded so I could order some cards for FREE! I only paid $3.19 for 50 photo cards with envelopes, all shipped to me! What a steal of a deal! They turned out great and I will be sending out 50 in the next couple of weeks. In my typical fashion, I planned ahead and got them, now I just have to try to get them in the mail so they will arrive to their destinations BEFORE Christmas. Although I do get a freebie when Noa was born because I wanted her in the pictures so we had to wait to take the pictures until Christmas eve of 2006.
I don't know about anyone else but I am so excited to say that ALL of my Christmas shopping is officially DONE! Yes I said DONE! Thanks to some great fellowship and shopping on Black Friday, all I have left to do is wrap it all. I do have to add that the gifts are scarce this year so I also didn't have a lot to shop for. We are taking a ski trip in January so the kids gifts mainly consist of ski jackets, bibs, gloves and other skiing accessories! Which by the way, Scooter and I snagged the kids a good ski jacket (made for skiing) at sears on Black Friday for $12.99 each! Tommy was not so excited but he was very excited about Madden 2010 for the Wii that I got for lil Tommy for Christmas. Men! Gotta love though, he let me shop all night and all day and then sleep in on Saturday. He's so great!
I have been looking for some employment lately and through God's guidance, he has led me to two great opportunities for our family. I first got this great gig sewing for a lady that runs an awesome online kids boutique. Here is her site: http://cottoncandyshop.com/ . It is just amazing, all the cute stuff. I can't wait to do some more work for her. Please check out her site and share it cause everything she has is high quality, very unique and just down right adorable! The second job is babysitting for a very cute little girl. Today was our first day and Noa had a great time playing all morning! The family is great and flexible and the two girls get along great. I have already packed our bag for tomorrow because we are so excited. Noa picked out all her toys that she wanted to take over there and share. It's gonna be great! The only thing that I don't like, I am gonna miss Ellie for the next two months. I am very sad about that. Noa was already asking where Ellie was this morning. We are just gonna have to have her over on the weekend sometime.
On a high note, we are preparing for Noa's 3rd birthday party this weekend. I can't believe that she is almost 3 already (not till Dec. 21st). I am sad cause she is the baby, but then I am happy because she is getting more and more self sufficient and growing into a wonderful little girl. She is potty trained now too. Papa bought her a bike a month ago and she rides it all day, everyday. She loves that bike and puts everything in the basket in the front. It is so cute. The other day she had a pencil, some Popsicle sticks, some goldfish, her sippy cup and some crayons. What a mess! Anyway, because of her love of bugs and wanting to touch them and squish them and catch them, we are having a buggy birthday party on Saturday. It should be lots of fun with a bug hunt in the backyard (weather permitting) and a round of pin the butterfly and bee on the flower. We ordered her caterpillar cake today and she was telling the lady at the bakery all about her buggy birthday party. It was so cute. Oh and I can't forget the dirt cups we are gonna have too.
Well that is all for now! I hope all is well with everyone else and hopefully I will learn how to post pictures with my next post. Love you all!
Amy
