Five minute Friday

We hosted thanksgiving yesterday which included ten kids eight and under and six adults. We all had a great time and full bellies. Today we are planning to get our Christmas tree and start decorating. We got almost a peek at baby Lyla on Wednesday. She had her hand in front of her face this time and last time her face turned away so she is just going to make us wait until her birthday to see her little face. The biggest sisters got bunk beds last weekend and are doing great sharing a room. We are almost done with their room, then I'll start Avilas transition into Blake's old room before Christmas and the nursery after Christmas. The kids have been off all week and I think will be ready for school Monday.

Five minute Friday

Today was the turkey trot at the kids school but Rylan was the only one able to participate but he came in number eleven out of second grade boys and they are about 130 kids second grade. He had been working hard and really wanted to be too three but stoked to get a ribbon for being in the top twenty. We said good bye today to our beloved pediatrician and this hormonal pregnant mama actually held it together. The kids are off all next week and anxious to decorate for Christmas next Friday. We are almost all healthy, hoping this two month bout of illness is coming to an end soon. Yesterday the little girls and I had thanksgiving lunch with the kids at school. Love this time of year!!!

Five minute Friday

Still rounds and rounds of someone with something. Avila's cold came to visit me :/ In better news it's cooling of and feeling like real fall, jeans, socks, windows open and everything!!! This makes me one happy mama. The kids had a fun week at school with international children's day booths today. It is one of my favorite events at the school as well, sadly I couldn't be a part of anything this year. Today we have a birthday party for one of our favorite two year olds and Avila's first friend! I have been having some terrible headaches and round ligament pain that some resourceful and gifted friends are helping me with that I'm beyond grateful for. These ladies are helping me get back to the normal mama I want to be for the babes already here. Less than three months until baby Lyla will be her an covered with kisses, so excited!

Five minute Friday

Two for one...still using my old phone but downloaded the blogger app again to get back in the routine of posting. The pictures from this phone are terrible, it's actually not user error, swear! We have had round after round of illness, cough, fever, hives, tummy bugs, you name it. It has rained and rained and rained and made us miss plans, but Halloween was cool and dry. Kids were wiped out after about a hour so Kenny and I had almost a real date night in since the kids were soud asleep by 8:30. We are heading back down to San Antonio tomorrow for the weekend to visit Kenny's parents and grandma. Time is just flying by. About three months until we met out newest family member, so excited to kiss that little face.
