Black Friday ...

As much of a shopper as I am ... I am avoiding the Black Friday Door Busters. For some odd reason unbeknown to myself ... I have no desire to shop.

What has happened to me???

Yesterday we had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with just the four of us. And then ... off to work I went. The ER was soooooo sloooooowwwww ... something to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving ...

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

We are so thankful for everyone in our lives, our health and our love for one another.

Mother/Son Dance 2009

Last night was the mother/son dance at school.

We had such a great time. Jeremy is growing up so fast.

This is his last year at the elementary school.

Probably the last dance he and I will go to together ... next he will be taking a girlfriend :(

We danced the night away!!!

School Pictures ...

Is that an "auuggghhh" that I hear???

Aren't these kids the best looking kids you have seen??? And yes, they are mine!!!

Jeremy - 6th Grade

Mr. Marvin

Hannah - 2nd Grade
Mrs. Howard

BRRRRRRRR ...

The weather is finally changing.

And with that brings the cold ... brrrr!!!

But ... cold means that the holidays are on their way. With the holidays brings all kind of new flavors ... like the peppermint mocha creamer for my coffee. Gotta love it.

Trick-o-Treat

Hope everyone had a very spooooktacular Halloween.

We did pumpkin carving to kick off the holiday. Jeremy did his pumpkin completly on his own this year. No template -- free hand.

Hannah insisted on having a scary mummy pumpkin. After watching her attempt to carve with the "safety" knife, I had a panic attack and carved for her. Next year, I vow to take a deep breath and let her do it.

Time for Trick-o-Treating.

We had a great time scouring the neighborhood for candy. We were joined by the Poole boys. Jeremy and Hayden were both Halo Spartans. Our little scarecrow was adorable!
