I remember thinking that when school started, I would be able to keep up with this blog a lot easier--just because we would be getting into a regular routine, etc. Boy was I wrong! I absolutely cannot believe it is Thanksgiving week already! Where have the last 4 months gone? We have had so many milestones lately that I need to share.
Olivia FINALLY started walking! She was about 14 months old to the day before she decided that she could get around quicker if she walked. And now, she hasn't slowed down a bit! She has also cut a mouth full of teeth, finished all her immunizations, and gotten her 1st hair cut (pics follow). She didn't really have much to cut, but I thought it might thicken up if it were trimmed.
We have also celebrated Jack's 5th birthday. He won't be 5 until Monday, Dec. 1st, but we had his party this past Monday at Chuck E. Cheese so some of his classmates could come. They had a blast! We're going to have a little family party tomorrow night also. I'll share pics from both after tomorrow night.
Shawn and I ventured out to the shopping world today...for the first time ever on the day after Thanksgiving. I am very happy to say that we had a great day! We went to Tunica last night and spent the night and were at the outlet stores at 7 a.m. It was not crowded at all! I was pleasantly surprised. If it had been total chaos, I would have said forget it and we would have come home. I can't handle rude, impatient crowds. But it was just the opposite. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and we got some GREAT deals!! I was really excited. So we are planning to make this an annual trip.
So, I have a small tree up in my den with a few presents under it already. The kids will be excited when they wake up in the morning. They helped me wrap a couple, but most I wrapped after they went to bed. Having kids is the joy of Christmas for us. They are so precious!
These pictures are from Halloween. We got one more use out of the football jerseys and the cheerleader suit!
