Wow, the last time I posted a blog was in June and now it is November....What has happened during the past 5 months...The kids and I have been to Wisconsin for about a 1 week summer visit. We had fun feeding the chickens, blueberry picking, swimming, Dairy Bar, sleeping in the camper, pig farm, fireworks, camp fires and hanging out with family. We went to Chicago a number of times to visit family, plus we went to the beach on Lake Michigan! Also went to Minnesota with the Mackies, left Thomas at home with Steve, we went to a pig farm, fishing, Ikea store, mud fight, four whealing, I even rode on a motorcross bike, visiting family, plus listened to three boys argue most of the time.... I worked at a temp agency until the end of October. Thomas turned terrible two, Joseph writes his name and many other letters, Thomas still has no interested in speaking much, Steve is enjoying all of us being together for the wonderful dinners he makes us, he also LOVES when I wash his clothes and put them away (NOT), we all just went back up to Wisconsin for a week long visit, Steve and I plus the kids stayed in the Russell camper (in the cold) and loved it. Never thought I would say that. We have learned what is important and it is not about money and buying the Coach purse I really want. I finished my first quilt while in Wisconsin and I am hooked, also took up needle punch. I love sewing, always have but never had time...Now I have the time to quilt and there are so many projects I am working on and ideas of projects I want to work on. Hoping to make Xmas gifts. I will be starting a new temp job next week. The biggest change of all is I have developed a bond with my two boys that I have never had before. It is easier to take care of them, that could be they are older. At times they still annoy the hell out of me because all they want is to be with me, kiss me, hug me, hang on me...but deep down, I love it. NO MORE STRESS from working....Below are a few pics of the past 5 months...Can you believe Xmas is only 56 days away?
