Have you ever had one of those months (or two months in my case) where time completely flies by? Where have I really been you ask? Well, how long do you have!! Honestly, things have been busy! The kids and Aaron started back to school in August! Anyone who knows me knows that less time with my husband (still makes me giddy to say) and children does not set well with this mama! I am at a complete loss with out them. So we have been enjoying each other as much as possible on the weekends, Aaron and I have squeezed in several date nights (not enough) the past fews months, a few movies and a few dinners. The kids and I have filled our weekends with sweet, elusive, down time. Just doing the fun stuff!! We went with my dad to Kansas and spent the weekend with my sister and her family earlier this month. Jennifer is such an awesome hostess. Going to her house is like such a relaxing retreat!! Complete with gourmet food, smores and an intense game of kick the can (once we got the rules straight!! And I didn't wanna say anything, but I think the 3 year old was peekin'....hee hee). Not to mention, some torrential rain and finding shelter in a hen house. I will post pictures of our trip later on. A few weeks ago we went to Casa Manana, and saw Treasure Island with my mama. Mom and I were lost through most of the plot, but the kids new what was going on. Such smart kids!! We also had a great time a few weekends ago at the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch! Sid won a pumpkin, by shooting a pumpkin with a catapolt through this really tiny hole!! Zoe fed the donkey and goats, but Sid and I were not getting anywhere near those stinky guys!! Zoe would've brought them home with us if she could!! We joined cub scouts this year! Sid's pumpkin won "Coolest" in the pumpkin carving contest!
Sid and Aaron are camping this weekend (lucky guys!!), and Zoe and I have planned a girls night, complete with nail painting, popcorn, hot chocolate, and girly movies!! And of course, Zoe's favorite part: getting to sleep in mama's bed!! We miss the guys very much but, we never get to do this, so we are super excited!!
Hopefully not so long till my next blog!! Just blame the rain in Paris!
