Reappearing

So photos first:


Maddie and two of her friends before her 80's inspired Skate party. All the girls looked fantastic and their dress was a combination of St Elmos Fire meets Valley Girls meets Breakfast Club!

Wyatt in a corn maze. Well it wasn't really a maze more of a "corn was planted in rows with a path". But he had fun.

My Halloween-ers. Wyatt, a StormTrooper, Maddie is not Oscar the Grouch, she's a can of green play-doh. and Sophie is a Motorcycle Mama. She was supposed to be a cowgirl , but we just couldn't find the right components.

Sophie, the morning of her last game and the day she made her first GOAL!! It was so awesome to watch. She set out to do it, and she did! TOtally proud of her!

Maddie, the day of her last game. It was freakin' cold! Everyone was bundled up!

Ok, so Wow, totally disappeared there for a bit. I'm back today ...not sure how long it will last though.

So, for the one person(Irene) who reads this, here is what I've been up to, in no particular order:

-running my tale off for PTA-Scrap Night, Book Swap, Movie Night, Breakfast with Santa. All of these events are within two weeks of each other.

-Christmas shopping. Used to love it, want to hate it now but I can't pass up a good deal. Went out on Thanksgiving Night and didn't return home until 7am on Friday. I think I'm still recovering,.

-Making lots of Caramel Corn. Want to be sick of it, but I'm not. LOVE IT!

-Finished a few crafty gifts to give as gifts.

-Still working on a few crafty gifts to give as gifts.

-Offending my Husband.

-Playing with camera, but still not feeling like I'm "getting" it. *&#!

-Avoiding house maintenance. While, the surface looks ok, the corners and behind doors is a big 'ol mess.

-Taking photos-but not great ones.

-Finished outdoor soccer and made crafty gifts(which included photos I took all season) for all 30 girls

-Thinking about what I want to do next year and have come up with nothing yet, except to stay away from the caramel corn.

-Got an all clear for no tumors on my parathyroid! YAY! Turns out I'm low on VIT D

-Hosted Thanksgiving for the 3rd year for my parents and In-Laws. Sometimes I wish Troy wasn't an only child from his Mom.

-Planning Christmas Day Brunch at our house. What should I make?

-Offending Maddie by simply breathing in her direction.

-Rescued two dogs that literally knocked on our door. Two Chiuauas that were cute as can be..found the owners after two days.

-Went to an adult only Halloween party for the first time ever. Had a blast and so happy that I have friends in this neighborhood that I can "let down my hair" around. I dressed as Rosie the Riviter and Troy was Dwight Schrute. Funny.

Listened to my friend as she dealt with a huge mess in her life. Glad I can be a sounding board for her, but frustrating to watch the same thing ahppen over and over again.

So there ya have it.

I'll be back.

Maybe.
