This weekend we didn't do much. We went to the mall, I had a coupon I needed to use, for Jack. My H's mom came with us. She took Sam school shopping b/c she told her she would a while ago. Sam got some skinny jeans, I am not sure if I like them, but she loves them.

Jack is feeling better. He is loving his cars still and would rather play cars than sit down and eat. And doesn't understand why Sam and I would want to sit and eat a meal and not play cars.

I did also do some decorating a bit. I got all my ideas from JUST A GIRL, I love her blog.

Tonight the dog drooled, and a few minutes later I looked at J and he had his lips on the floor, I asked him what he was doing and he answered.... I just drooled like the dog did. hahaa

I painted Sam's nails, she is running for President at school, along with every other kid. She has to do a speech on Thursday on the TV. I went into the school with her this morning to hang up her posters.

Sam also is practicing her Violin, they haven't learned to use the bow yet! She can't wait. She was playing with a CD and it sounded very good! I am so EXCITED! She was excited when she heard they were going to play with the High Schoolers. If that would have been me I would have not been happy to hear that at all.

Sadness...

I can't stop thinking about the sadness. My Best Friend, lost her mother on Wednesday. I have such a heavy heart with sadness. She is very strong just like her mother was. So I know she will be fine. But I cannot imagine loosing my mother, they are the one person who is always on your side, and there to help you with everything.

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this difficult time.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,

May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

My neighbor also lost her fight with cancer on Wednesday. So my thoughts and prayers are with her husband and family.

Inside my house, Jack is still fighting his cold. But I know he is doing ok. He is acting just like a 2 year old. We are all missing my H alot. Jack keeps asking "Daddy home?"

Samantha didn't have such a good week school wise, she had and E grade (that is an F) and she kept it from me for a week! Then she took another test on Thursday and got a D. So her bedtime has been moved up. She is realizing she needs to work harder! ( I HOPE)

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We are going to put up Halloween decor.

Today I took Jack to the doctor, he has been so fussy all weekend. They tested him for strep, but came back negative. He was wheezing so the doctor gave him an inhaler. Right now he is sleeping!

He hasn't sleept the last 2 nights, so neither have I! I am going to take a nap hopefully! Sam woke up with her nose running. I guess it's the season! They don't get their flu shots until the end of the month.

Friday we took Sam out of school and went to Busch Gardens. The kids had a blast, the played in the water and got soaked.

Saturday- My father in law and his wife came over and my H cooked on the grill.

Sunday- I cleaned house and my H watched football.

I am trying to still get caught up on my laundry. I am also working on organizing my stamping stuff, getting rid of what I don't use. I want to buy some new sets! I am tired of looking at the same old ones!

I am listing to Jack talk in his bed. He doesn't seem to want to take naps anymore.

I am going to take Scooby to the vet this afternoon, his ears are so nasty! I don't know what to do with him, he is always scratching.

I am thinking about taking out my Halloween decorations! But I am trying to hold off until Oct. 1.

Sunday already?

Bye bye old van.... The dealer removing my tags.

I can't believe it is Sunday already. This weekend flew by.

I will start with Friday. My H was off of work and went and got me a new van! I love Honda! My H got me a silver, 2010 Honda Odyssey, I am loving it and so are the kids! My Chrysler was just starting to have too many issues and it only had 25,000 miles on it. But I don't think any car will ever be as needed as that one was. I will never forget when my H brought it home for us. 2 years ago, with the new baby it was needed! It made everything so much easier.

Saturday we went to my H's dad's house for a BBQ. It was fun and yummy! Jack wasn't very good he wouldn't take a nap before we left.

Today, we went to one of my favorite places for lunch, Wild Wing. Sam and I went to Target! And of course watching football. Well, I'm not but my H is. I tried to clean house and it seemed I would clean one area and then the kids or my H would come in and trash it again so I gave up on it. I will try tomorrow when everyone is at work or school!

I hope everyone has a great Week!

Tuesday,

Well, not too much going on here. I am thinking of going to the Dollar store and looking for some fall decorations. I am so happy that tomorrow is the first day of Fall, I am ready. But it is still 80 here.

Samantha has to take her Violin to school tomorrow, for her first class.

Jack is playing with his cars, that is all he wants to do.

My to do list, make Sam allergy shot appt. try and get the house clean, and get all the laundry done.

Baby Jack, not so much a baby.

I think I am slacking on keeping track with Jack these days so I just wanted to jot some things down so I don't forget. He is growing so fast!

1. I love it when he asks me "wanna play cars with me mommy?" (HOW could I SAY NO)

2. Now that we have his costume he will bring it to me and say "Can I put on my pumpkin costume please?"

3. He loves to play with his cars, but is always asking me where one of them is.

4. He likes to scream at the dog and make him jump.

5. He will say he wants to color but will just switch the caps on the markers around.

6. I don't think he ever eats more than 5 bites at a meal.

7. He loves for me to read Blues Clues over and over.

8. He hates to get his hair rinsed in the bathtub.

9. He loves to play with his sister, & she loves to play with him.

10. He loves to call people on my phone, he knows how it works. I am apologizing now if he has called you and hung up. He will call Grandma and say I want to talk to my Daddy.
