Almost T DAY

I always feel when I sit down to blog that I have nothing to write...but I am always thinking during the day " Ohh I  have to put this in my blog!" weird!!

 Joe finally came home on Friday after being gone 3 weeks- it was perfect because he came home, showered and was just in time for Sawyers Family Reading time in his class- it is so amazing to see your baby just stat reading!! On another note, Devyn is having some of her poetry published in the school paper- THAT is awesome.  

The kids are over joyed to be spending time with Joe- we also on that Friday went to his Holiday Party for his ship- it was at the Sheraton on the Bay by the airport- it was really fun. We took the kids and they stayed in one of the meeting rooms with a bunch of other kids. The ship had hired Munchkin Minders which is a group of nannies. They played video games and had a bouncy  thing and did crafts and watched movies....Sachyl also peed the nap time mat:) They thought they had a night out on the town!  

I, on Wed. went to the midnight showing of Twilight!!!! I had not read the book but my friend Vicky has been obsessed and was always making me watch interviews and look at pictures of Robert Pattinson and I was just not impressed BUT OMG that first scene of him!! His charectar!! wowza! I thought I was hooked on Mr. Bill Compton the Vampire but make room for Edward Cullen!!  Great romantic /fantasy movie   PG version of Trueblood.    Now  am reading the second book and I am officially a Twilighter...I tried to fight it but I can't....... 

Joe leaves again for the first 2 weeks of December and then will get to spend Christmas with us so YAY!! 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe!!!!

We have been fairly boring lately- I am not sure if I mentioned that we leave a half hour earlier now to go to school so Sawyer can eat breakfast there- He loves to sit with Eduardo  who he calls Eggardo???? And he got busted in the boys bathroom waiving his junk around with Guillermo (who he calls Gearmo). I guess that's a boy thing, I have no idea so I just tell him not to and stay away from it:) Leaving early is nice because me and Vicky started walking right after or I do a spinning class on Weds. at 8:45 (Um ouch by the way- I needed an epidural after) so I get all exercising out of the way bright and early!   Sachyl had to go to the dentist because she was standing on Sawyers bed and fell and whacked her face on his windowsill luckily her tooth wasn't loose but he said it could turn brown (I may have fainted at that point)  it is still white- phwew!

Ms. Devyn HAD to go to Hawaii for a week to visit her Dad and grandparents poor poor girl.....she had fun bleeding him dry shopping and swimming etc...they got to see Cirque Du Soleil (sp) that was her second time (she is so cultured:)  ) AAAAAAAAAnd he let her drive all over the place (idiot JUST KIDDING!!!!).

Sawyer got an award at school for "using his knowledge of letter sounds" they have a Flag assembly every other Friday and they announce the awards which they all end up getting by the end of the year. I usually go to every assembly but I wasn't able to go to that one. I was bummed but his teacher took pictures for me.

 Last night Sawyer went to the Sock Hop at our regular church. Once again Sachyl was peeved because it was Kinder- 5th grade. On the way she took off her seatbelt while we were still driving so Sawyer said  "Sachyl hold my hand. Hold it tight.  I will hold onto you." Like he could prevent her from going through the window in the event of an accident BUT it was so sweet and adorable how they love each other........anywho when we got there I just sort of hung out so Sachyl just sort of hung out and got to do everything he did including having hot dogs and root beer floats- hoola hoop contesting- tricycle races and of course Air Band. They had F.U.N.   I will end with this - I am almost done with my Christmas shopping and YOU'RE NOT!! HA!

ps I added a picture from when Sachyl had her hurt neck and of them sleeping in their funky hats my mom brought them- just because they're cute.

Kids say the oddest things....

Out of nowhere today as we are driving home from school this is what Sawyer says....

" You can't take a baby in space because it can't fit in the outfit and it would fall out of the helmet so it would die. So a rocket ship , NO.  You can take one in an airplane though and if you are parachuting you can just hook the baby to you when you are jumping.." Then he yells out the window to his friend " HI ABRAHAM!!" and Sachyl goes " HI Hemaham!!"  

Good Times:)

Halloween

I can't believe it is actually November and so close to the Holidays- I love it!! We carved 2 pumpkins on wed- just me and the kids- Sachyl was finally brave enough to stick her hands in and pull out some pumpkin guts- I had seasonal music on for them to dance around to while I did the carving- ( Thriller, Addams Family etc) . Thursday nana came and we went to see Sachyl at her costume party at school, there were a lot of Princesses.....Friday Sawyer had a costume parade at his school, it was pretty fun to see all the kids K-5th grade dressed up and the teachers really got into the spirit too. Halloween is Sawyers teachers birthday as well so I brought in cupcakes and balloons- the kids liked that part. We did some trick or treating and I think Sachyl got tired out pretty early since all that day we were outside and it was about 85 degrees!! I dressed up too and was walking around the 'hood in heels so I was ready to call it night as well. NOT Spongebob- he could have treated all night- 

Saturday, Sawyer had another football game it was nice that Nana was able to see it even though it was million degrees again and then at 4:30 am Sachyl woke up with severe neck pain. It was almost unbearable to watch her be so miserable so I took her in to the ER and luckily she responded to the pain medication and didn't have to have a lumbar puncture - it turned out to be a muscle spasm so she is back to her cute self today:) 

It is actually raining and cold and she and I waited in the "rain" , ( I quote since it is more of a sprinkle than a rain) and voted:) 

HAPPY FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
