38 Days until Christmas

I know Thanksgiving is next week, that doesn't even see possible. We have a lot to look forward to around here. My birthday (not) is Saturday. Victor and I are going to try and hit up a pretty cool place in Atlanta for dinner. I am only working one day next week, as the kids are out of school. Heidi, the boys and mom are coming in the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. They are staying through Saturday. Madelynn and Colin haven't stopped talking about Grandma here lately. They are so anxious to see her. They are equally excited about seeing their cousins, Christian and Matthew. We are planning a few activities to keep them busy while they're here.

My classes are coming to a close; this is my last week. No break, I will jump right into another set of classes. I look forward to completing my paper and powerpoint, ugh. It is not so bad juggling it all now, as I am working 3 days a week.

Madelynn and Colin both have their "feasts" at school this week. Madelynn brought home her songs to rehearse for the Christmas program. She is playing Mary in the performance. I will begin helping her recite her lines. She is receiving her report card this week as well. She is doing fantastic with her reading. I am happy to see her excited about learning.

Phoebe and Victoria are hanging in there. they are anxious about there upcoming week out of school. Who could blame them? We all need a break from time to time.

Have a great week!

Happy Halloween 2008

We had a great week! The little kids had parties at school and stayed well all week. Wednesday we carved pumpkins, our family tradition. This year we carved four. Madelynn really enjoyed the carving very much. Colin fell asleep before the fun began. A friend of mine let us borrow a cow costume for him to wear this year (thanks Heather), and he has worn it every day, even sleeping in it! It will be a sad day for Colin when it is returned.

Phoebe and Victoria had a good week. Victoria continues to get better and better playing her trumpet and went to a couple of parties last week. Phoebe was accepted into the Coweta County Youth Leadership Program, "Way to go Phoebe!" Victor and I will be attending the welcome dinner with her on Monday.

School is coming along for me. In three weeks I will start two new classes. Work is going okay, I'm still hanging in there. Victor is taking some time off this week. I will have to get the honey-do-list started, just kidding!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
