Halloween

Oops, just realized I forgot to post our Halloween pictures, see I told you we have been busy with life!

Our crew went as the Toy story Gang, Alex was Woody, Aidan was Buzz, and Andrew was Trex!

Been a while, time for an update!

We have been very busy lately, have had Thanksgiving, school functions, karate tournaments, 2 rounds of sickness, a week out of town, and then regular, everyday life thrown in as well.

Let's see, Alex went on his first hunting trip to Texas with my dad and a few other family members. He was gone all Thanksgiving week. I went to Mississippi with the other 2 and Edward's Mom and sister to see some of Edward's family. We were hit by a very bad stomach bug. Alex had a karate tournament and placed 3rd for Chanbara(sword fighting), 4th for self defense. He is very proud of his trophy. Alex also had to get a tooth capped b/c he had a cavity that grew from within and it broke his tooth, sucks we didn't know it was there :( Alex also is sick again, suspected flu but who knows! Aidan is doing well-enjoying school, singing Jingle Bells. Andrew is also doing well, talking lots, enjoying Mom's Day Out, and into everything. They all got to go see Santa which was a success, no crying! Andrew got a big boy haircut, so sad, but he is still a cute little boy!

Have taken really cute pictures of the kids for the Christmas card but it looks like I have very little time to sit down and actually make it, so family members, you may receive a facebook card :) I heard on the radio that it is kind of tacky, but that is all the time I have!

Andrew's haircut, and yes I do believe I will grow it back out. I love the long look for him and I think Edward prefers it as well

As for me, I stay rather busy and have gotten into couponing. It is so much fun! I love seeing how much money I save(tons) and being able to help out family members with the free things I get. Edwards thinks I am a bit neurotic though :) Edward has now switched to working days, I am loving that. No more sleeping the day away on his off days, we can actually get more accomplished, he can take the kids to school(we are rotating days), pick them up, and be a lot more helpful in general. It is very nice. Of course on the days he works he is gone by 430 am and home by 7pm and in bed not too long after, but can help put kids to bed and I think we are both enjoying that. No more worries for me about people breaking in, and trust me, I am neurotic about that too!


Oh, the kids got their new bunk beds, aren't they fabulous!

Edward is on his 2 week vacation right now, which we are all enjoying! Kids are out of school for 2 weeks at the end of this week and I think we all need a break. Alex needs a little time to get better! He has been hit with too many bugs this season. We will be going to Dallas on the 19th-23rd to have Christmas with family and then we will be back home to have Christmas here.
