I am amazed at how busy I seem to stay! This week has been an exhausting one, and I have felt very blah. In fact, I even went to bed at 7:30PM on Monday and didn’t wake up until 7:30AM the next day. If you know me, you know that NEVER happens. Going to bed before 1AM is rare around here.
Our week went well. We did our usual things, which included Bible study, speech class for my son, karate and dance for my oldest 2 kiddos, going to the library, listening to audio books like crazy, reading books at home before bed each night, going to the gym (only 3 times this week – slacker!), and doing homeschool.
We also did some fun things that we wouldn’t typically do.
We had family pictures made last weekend…
We also went to a Fall Festival. My kids had a total blast, even when they had to wait almost 15 minutes for a chance to jump in the bounce house. They certainly have more patience than I did as a kid!
I also recently decided to purchase a bunch of doorknob covers. My 18 month old has been INSANE with opening up all of the doors in the house. It really makes me nervous and sort of scared to take a shower, sleep in longer than him, or listen to music or cook since I couldn’t hear the doors open.
His favorite thing in the world is going outside, so he’s been trying it all to get out the door. Now that we have the door knob covers, I’m put quite a bit at ease. Especially since his second favorite thing in the world is running into the street. It takes him 5 seconds flat to get from garage door to street, so it was time to toddler-proof this place!
We have some exciting things coming up in the next few days. My kids are most excited about a little Halloween party we’re going to be throwing. It’s really just a fun game I’m going to be setting up, plus snacks and candy. I hope the neighborhood kids like it as much as my kids are going to.
I’m also going to a Chocolate Conference in Dallas. I am so psyched about that. You guys all know how much I love chocolate, right?
I’m in full swing with getting my Holiday Gift Guide put together, and I’m really excited about it, but I know that it’s about to get all sorts of busy up in here. I hope you’re all ready for a bunch of amazing gift ideas and terrific giveaways.
Talk to you all soon! Stay tuned for more ramblings.
