One car windshield got cracked, but we never lost power. Thank the Lord!<br />My kids have been out of school since Monday and guess what??? No school tomorrow either!<br />They did get to go trick or treating tonight, which was a saving grace because Sandy had pretty much robbed them of any fun all week!!<br />Pictures to follow once I get icloud synced up on this computer. My computer died about a week ago so I am slowly making my way over to a newer one.<br /><br />So, I guess I will be trying to post regularly again. I have a few friends and family poking at me to post pictures and let you know what the boys and I are up to.<br /><br />CJ is now in 1st grade with a super awesome teacher and lots of old friends. He just finished fall soccer and really enjoyed it. He will be celebrating his 7th birthday on Monday.<br />Coop has started his first year of Pre-School and loves every minute of it. If he could go to school everyday he would be one happy boy. He loves playing with his friends and I am told he enjoys the dress up area at school...he has been known to patrol the kids in the police costume on any given day!<br /><br />We have been blessed to find the most perfectly suited home for us. We bought a beautiful Tudor in September and are slowly adding our own personal touches to make it ours.<br />The boys are loving it. They have a great play room in the basement and a lovely back and front yard. It is such a wonderful neighborhood. Lots of kids. It is our own little piece of heaven.<br /><br />I will be sure to post some pictures of the house too. We have made some renovations, central air was the first thing we did. Yes, this is a great time of year to do it if you were thinking of it.<br />That way we are all set come spring/ summer. Best thing we could have ever done.<br />We have lots more to do, but we have time.<br /><br />So that's all she wrote for tonight.<br /><br />Happy Halloween!! <br /><br />dummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03640646141078356979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251240515630730341.post-24993486154233250142011-11-29T16:56:00.000-08:002013-04-03T18:14:08.544-07:00Lego Birthday!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">I realize that is has been a really long time since I last posted.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">I have been so consumed with all the little things,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">so blogging has suffered. sorry!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">I has been a month already and my little boy has turned 6!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">He really wanted a Lego themed party.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">My mom is the crafty one.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">She made this banner that we hung in our dining room:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihxAVRn40pH3in2UgES_P8yDmxrGOiFNQUowQghjMMpGZhrlC1bXkIAkQSchkxU7BXzlULQBIvGbbZ8p0aLoV2H6sgoZhn8zGDgRfIZzdgsyJYj-QOnYooHZ9xPeamw1z52_NAddHZC7E/s1600/IMG_1093.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
