Wow, November is Almost Over???

Here's a sneak peak as to what we were doing for Family Home Evening this week!

Where does the time go?? Seriously. I feel like the days are just racing by and I am not getting done with what needs to get done. It's a good thing I am just about done with my Christmas shopping. I just have to get a few things on Black Friday and I think I am good to go. YAY! I do love this time of year, even though it is just crazy. I like to get things done in November so I can sit back and relax and enjoy my December.


Anyways, earlier this month I was released from my Sunbeams calling and called as an Enrichment Board member. Once officially called, I had 2 days to put together a project for our Super Saturday activity and that was crazy. Then, a week later I had to start getting ready for our activity which was this last Saturday. I really love my calling and so glad that I can once again go to Relief Society and be spiritually fed. Not that I didn't love my Sunbeams, but it is hard dealing with a whiney 1 and 3 year old in Sacrament and then dealing with 4 year olds for the next 2 hours. It is nice having a break from kids. So I survived my first Super Saturday where I was involved and was so glad to have it over with. But then this week I have been busy with all the little things that got neglected from the past 2 weeks. Man, I never want to get behind on my housework again. It took my 3 whole days to catch up and I had to be finished today because Ryan's parents are staying with us and should be here in the next few hours. But now I have the rest of the week to relax and enjoy my family. And I can't forget Black Friday...so excited.


Enough rambling, a week and a half ago we went to my Mom's Fall Festival and the kids had a blast. Of course, I finally decide to take my camera some where and only took these 2 pictures and it was the first ride the kids went on. But Drew had fun with all the bouncy rides and Kylee was content eating her whole box of popcorn in the stroller. I kid you not, she ate the whole box. That girl loves her popcorn. We didn't stay too long but long enough to have fun.


That was really the only big thing we did this month. Pretty pathetic, but I am just so glad to have cooler temps because my kids just love playing outside. Drew loves to drive his little coupe car all around the backyard and make a mess of the rocks. Kylee loves just being free and doing as she wishes. She loves the slide and the swing (still need to take a picture of that one) and sometimes loves to just sit on the little ledge and just chill. Sometimes she also likes to eat the leaves over there too! I love Arizona weather in the winter time.

I love this time of year and love to think of all the things I am grateful for. I love that my husband still has a job. It's not the best paying job, but I love that he can be flexible with his hours and home by 5 PM every night. I would rather be poor and have a husband who gets to spend time with his family than rich and feel like a single mom. I don't know how single moms do it. I am also grateful for Kylee and Drew. I am so grateful that Kylee is a part of our family. She brings such a balance to Drew and Drew is getting so much better at loving her. My kids are both growing up so fast and glad that I can be their mom and see them grow up every day.
There is still so much I can type, but I will stop. I don't want to bore anyone, but I probably already have. Happy Thanksgiving!
