Happy Thanksgiving to my friends that are celebrating. If you already celebrated I hope your meal was yummy and filled with goodies, if you have yet to celebrate just think of the yummy thing to come!! For those of you that don’t celebrate, I still hope you have a blessed day.

It is with sad heart that I make this post. My dear Grandma Pearl has earned her Angel wings today. She passed through Heaven’s gates shortly after 12:30pm this afternoon. She was so couragous these last few weeks but she just couldn’t fight anymore. As much as I want to understand it breaks my heart and Thanksgiving will never be the same. Please send a prayer for us if you have a second. It’s a lot of heartache. Since our meal was already cooking when we got the news we will eat dinner at 3pm and then we will gather together to remember and celebrate her. This is a day I will never forget. *sigh*

I am trying so hard to retain my sanity today!! LOL The kiddos had a 1/2 day and they have the next 2 days off. We love it. NOT. All they’ve done is fight the rest of the afternoon. I suspect that is all they will do the next 2 days. I actually went to the gym tonight to put them in the daycare JUST for the break *blush*. I did a few errands today. I had to run to the west side to get hubby the new Guns and Roses CD that came out today. It was only available there. I also had to get my contacts so I thought I’d grab BOTH of them and then I would be done with it. I also needed a few things from wal-mart so I picked that up. No more shopping for me until after this weekend. I am NOT a Black Friday shopper and I really HATE going out on this weekend. It’s too busy and I don’t want to fight the crowds.

The kids also had dentists appointments today too. They did good. They had NO cavitites. I was glad for that.  I did get some bad news about Mariah though.  If she DOESN’T stop sucking her thumb she is going to need an appliance for her mouth. I can only imagine how much that is going to cost me. UGH! Everything else was good. So Mariah got a princess toothbrush and Alex an alligator toothbrush and we were off!

I scrapped a page yesterday. It is of Alivia… she’s 3 weeks old in this picture. She is actually already a month old!! How time flies!! Here’s my page:

You can see it here at DST with all the credits.  Okay bloggers… time to get out of my gym clothes and into my pajamas!! I’ll be back soon!!

It’s been crazy here. We’ve been so busy preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday and just getting ready for winter. I’ve had to do major shopping in this house. It seems NONE of my family has ANY winter clothes!! The kids both needed new pants and sweaters as they’ve grown so much. I lost the rest of the weight I wanted too and although I was able to fit back in my OLD pants I needed new sweaters, so I had to get some new ones. My hubby has toned and lost alot too and he needs new everything!! So I’ve been shopping all around. The dog got a haircut and even HE needed a sweater!! It’s too cold for him to go outside with nothing on with all his hair gone. He needed the haircut though. He was starting to get some small mats and I wanted him nice and groomed before winter really set in. So I did all of that. Hopefully now that the kiddos have some new clothes I can get them up for some photos!! You know mom’s always thinking of that!! *wink*

The kids got a new movie. They are all over Wall-e. I have no idea what they find in that movie that is SO good but they love it. We use the PS3 as a DVD player so I am glad that they are finally putting it to use!! Between Wall-e and Guitar Hero 3 that PS3 has gotten some major play time the last couple weeks!! LOL

Alright bloggers… I am headed out for the night… I am hoping my creativity strikes soon! I want to get back to scrapping… SOON!
