We have been just boppin' along this week and I don't have much to blog about. Maybe that's a good thing. Well, it has been too long. So, here's my random post:
I have Thanksgiving and Christmas on my mind. O.K., it's on Travis' mind, too, and he is making big old lists to keep us organized. When we were dating those lists drove me nuts, because I don't like seeing all those things I still HAVEN'T done written out so clearly. But we have made peace after 8 years and now we know I don't make lists and Travis does. I really have learned to appreciate his lists during the holidays. He has lists for all different categories of things we need to buy and accomplish before those two big days coming up. Sometimes I'll make a list (Hey, calendars count, right? Don't tell Travis, it will blow my cover!), but usually it is just all in my mind. When my mind wanders and I forget all that I have to do, I am so glad that I can just ask Travis and he will pull up that LIST! I tell him that's why I married him...among other things! :)
My cousin, Kristen, just posted about a fabulous blog site checker-blocked full of fun, crafty ideas to do with your kids. Click here to check it out. It's awesome and I'm excited to try out some of the Thanksgiving ideas. Nothing brightens up a rainy day like CRAFTS!
Did I mention we LOVE to shop at Trader Joe's? Going there tonight...
I was just at the police station twice in the last 24 hours. I hope to never return. Those holding cells look awful! I took the boys with me on a Cub Scout field trip to the station yesterday afternoon since I am now one of the Bear Den leaders. I'm excited to learn lots of new things with these fun boys! When the police officer took us into the staging area (a huge garage) to look at police cars and the huge LOUD garage door opened, Tyler about lost it. He was so worried the loud police sirens would suddenly go off. But a dog saved the day! We were so happy when a big police dog named Malloy came out of a police car to meet them. This morning when we drove over to the station again for Tyler's preschool tour, Ty was a little pro. When we stood outside looking at a police car, Tyler told the officer, "I'll just stand over here and watch for fire trucks." The second time was a charm and he wasn't scared during the tour...so I could enjoy it, too.
Speaking of preschool, it was my turn to teach this week and we had so much fun! Tyler's little preschool friends are so cute and they get so excited to learn new things. I'm so happy we found a little co-op group to join this year. We are having a blast!
Did you know "24" starts up again on November 23rd? I can't wait!
Now I need to go figure out what in the world we are going to eat for dinner...

Wow! I so hear you with the lists! Doug is the very same way and I think (despite the 10 years of battling it out) that we have yet to make peace! I think I resent them because all it does is make it seem like we can't set anything on it aside to do something fun that's not on the list, you know? Because the list is never done. Plus it makes him Super Grump when he dosn't get enough done and the whole list is still staring him in the face! Blah, blah, blah...
Have you had the Trader Joe's frozen orange chicken? YUM!
I'm excited for 24, too -- thanks for the reminder! Ahhh . . . the elusive list. The rare occasion I make a list, I never follow it anyway, so I've decided "What's the point?". I get sidetracked and never stick to what I should be doing. Jer's a list guy, too -- maybe it's a guy thing?
I was just wondering about 24 the other day...hope it's a good season!!! Good luck with all your lists! My problem is I make lists on 50 different pieces of paper and then I can never find them all to really figure out what needs to get done...hmmmm...oh well!
You have been woman on fire! And don't worry, I whole heartedly support you in your Trader Joe's movement. And grr...I didn't get my snapfish book done in time. I did get a free one from shutterfly a few months back. Tell me how you like it.
