Sunday conversation

While Mike was looking through the ads this morning, this is the conversation we had.

Mike: Stacey, come look at this. I really want it!

Stacey: (looking at picture of girl on excerciser in ad)

Stacey: do you want the exerciser or the girl?

Mike: You can get me the exerciser, and then maybe it will turn you into the girl!

Stacey:

Mike: Uhhh....

Mike: I mean....

Stacey:

Out with the old & in with the new

Over the past month and a half, I have learned that there are two things I should not pursue a career in. Cake decorating and furniture assembly. I took apart Briana's loft bed yesterday.

And then I put together her new captains bed. I have sort of hated that loft bed ever since the day we got it, and it felt really good to get it out of her room. I got her new bed about half way put together before Mike got home from work and informed me that I had done the whole thing wrong and had to take it all apart and fix it. That was after I put about four hours of my day into that bed. But, it's together now, and it looks really good in Briana's room and she loves it. We took her dresser out of her room since the bed has storage, and I get to have her old dresser in my room now. Yay!

Here's her new awesome bed:

She'll be sleeping good tonight!

Kindergarten Thanksgiving Program

Today was Sydney's Thanksgiving program at school! She has been very excited about it and today was her big day. The kids all sang really, really well and they did dances with their songs that were super cute. Most of the kids had a small speaking part in the program, including Sydney. She got to hold up a picture she made and say what she is thankful for. She said "I am thankful for my family." So, so, so great!!! I'm so proud of her, she did a great job!

Here she is walking into the gym at the beginning of the program.

More singing.

Right after the program. So proud of herself!

With some of her fans.

My day

This year, my family has agreed to let me have Thanksgiving at my house. I am quite excited about it, but I have never done it before, so I'm a little nervous too. I've been getting my Christmas decorations out all week, because I want my house to be very festive by Thanksgiving. I got everything out except for the tree, and today, Mike got that out (he's on vacation from work this week). We got it all set up and ready for the kids to decorate when they got home from school. Right before I left to pick them up, this is where I found Ellie.

I know. She's so cute!

The kids dug into the ornaments right away, and we now have a beautiful tree! I was a little sad though, because they are tall enough to reach the top of the tree now. When did they get so big? I don't even have to rearrange the ornaments to get some on the top half of the tree.
