Well, I thought that once we got the first snowfall of the winter that I would be in the mood to Christmas shop, but I was wrong. For some reason I am just not as "ready" for the holidays as I usually am. It seems as though there are just not enough hours in a day to get things done that I need to do. Only in Iowa can it be 80 degrees one day and not even 3 days later snow 9 inches and be 16 degrees. CRAZY! My kids were happy to see the snow this morning. Maddie went to a friend's house and spent most of the afternoon outside playing in the snow. Carter begged us to let him play outside but since he has been battling a cold we decided not to let him go out. Both boys are sick with this cold and so far Maddie and Adam and I have avoided getting it! YEAH!
Tomorrow Maddie is going to Waterpark of America in Bloomington Minnesota. A friend from school called and invited her to go along. (THIS FRIEND IS A BOY!!!!) When his mom called to talk to me about it I was a little shocked, but then I thought Maddie hangs out with the boys at school anyway and so I think she will have alot of fun. They were going to go today but the weather was too crappy so they changed their reservations to tomorrow night. She will leave around lunchtime and will be home on Sunday early evening. I have not been to this indoor waterpark but from the looks of it on the internet it looks pretty awesome! She is a strong swimmer and that makes me feel alot better.
Our puppy is doing well. We are getting him housebroken and so things are getting a little better. I did alot of research on the internet on the do's and don'ts of training a puppy so that helped me some. The boys still are not quite sure what to think of the puppy when he jumps up on them but they are getting used to him and he is also getting used to them. Carter likes to grab the puppy when he jumps and sometimes the poor puppy gets jabbed in the eye.
I am going to get Maddie and Carter off to bed now because it is 9:48 and they are still awake. We just got done watching a movie that we taped called "Spookley the Square Pumpkin". Pretty exciting for a Friday night! The older we get the lazier we seem to be. After we get the kids to bed we will work on getting our finances in order for the banker before the end of the year. What a fun husband and wife bonding project that will be!
