Gone to Disney........

Thank you Elyssa!!  We'll talk to everyone when we get back!

Counting down to Disney!!

This time next week we will be in Sunny (hopefully) Orlando.  Today we are in Rainy Woodbine. Blah!!  We have been scarily productive lately!  We got some mums planted in the new bed by the driveway, the dogs all got a much needed spa day on Friday, got some shopping done, Christmas shopping is almost complete, got the Thanksgiving Turkey already (31 pounds!!!!), and got lots of cleaning done!  As much as I hate to rush the seasons I am kind of anxious to decorate for Christmas for some reason.  I think it is because we don't have a lot of Thanksgiving decorations yet.  Each year we have been adding to our holiday collection!  Yesterday while Cammie was in school Donna and I ran some errands.  We went to Yankee Candle to use our buy two get two free candle coupon!!  Then we hit Baughers for some Thanksgiving supplies (YUM) and Safeway too.  Then I had my best coupon haul yet at CVS.  I got 2 6-packs of Pediasure, 4 bags of candy (for Christmas really!!) and 2 tubes of Colgate all for $19.81 and I got a $10 gas card back, so really it was only 9 bucks!!!  Go  me!!!  We have been rocking the couponing lately! 

Cammie and I had to pick up Brady for school today and it was so cute, when he got into the car Cammie looked at him and said, "What's new Pussycat?".  I laughed so hard!!  Then they walked into school under her umbrella holding hands!  Too cute!!  Well I'm off to get some cleaning done while Her Highness is at school!! 

Diva-licious!!

Dress up is still favorite game to play!  Had our first parent teacher conference and we have to take Cammie for a speech evaluation.  I have that scheduled for December 7th.  We are gearing up for our trip to Disney and doing some serious couponing!!  I am getting better at it and have had some pretty good hauls!  We are having Thanksgiving here and we are also looking forward to that as well.

Cammie had a good couple of days at school.  Parent teacher conferences are next week so I am sure we will hear about how spectacular our little prodigy is!  I don't know if I am becoming more organized or am just managing to get more stuff done but I am doing it!!  I have been in contact with my new best Disney friend!  If you need to book a Disney trip she is the woman to do it.  That is all that she handles and she is great.  Cammie had gymnastics today and did really well.  Her and Morgan were the only ones with Ms. Roz so they were loving all the special instruction!  Now Cammie is looking at some of our old Disney photo albums and asking why there are no pictures of her.  It's so funny.  She is very excited for our next trip!!  Only 19 days away!!

School picture!!!

What do you think of our little cutie???  She looks like such a ham in the class picture!  She is so funny!  For Halloween she was a funky fairy princess and loved it.  We went to Donna's and walked around her neighborhood, Cammie wished everyone we passed a Happy Halloween and loved knocking on doors and getting treats.  It was lots of fun.  They had a little Fall Harvest Celebration at school and she enjoyed that too.  In gymnastics Cammie and Morgan got moved from Busy Bees to Tumble Bugs!!  So that means that instead of Missi and I chasing them around the gym, we get to sit in viewing section and watch!  The girls did really well last week and didn't seem to miss us at all.  On Saturday Donna, Cammie and I went to the Craft Fair at the Hoco Fairgrounds and that was nice.  I got a couple of things but some of the stuff that I liked was too expensive and some stuff you just want to make yourself.  We took some pictures of things that we want to get Andrew to make also.  That morning a transporter dropped off Simon a 6 year old black lab (that was around 1045) and he was going to be our foster but before he even arrived he had two appointments set up to see him.  The first family came at around 330 and they loved him so they spent some time with him and then ended up taking him home so we had a very brief foster period with him.  He was sweet but very stressed out, no wonder though since he had just been dropped off at the kennel by his family the day before and spent the night there.  We also had a visit from the Merkels, Sharon, Ken and Becca stopped by on their way home from hiking.  It was really great to see them and hang out for a bit.  Cammie loved playing with Becca and was very excited that Becca brought some toys to hand me down to her.  She calls Becca "Backup" and wanted her to have a sleepover!  We haven't really gotten to see them since we moved so that was great!  I miss them!  On Sunday Alice and Donna came over so that we could make applesauce and my parents came over to play with Cammie.  We peeled so many apples.... ugh!  We made a ton of applesauce though, it should last the whole winter for sure!  Fixed a ziti for everyone for dinner and then was ready to crash for sure.   Joe went to work today and Cammie went to school so I had a little bit of free time while she was in school, I went to the library (heaven when I have time to actually look around!!) and then I went to Walmart (hell because it was so crowded).  I just had to get some necessities.  I am getting on the ball with organizing my coupons and I am going to spend some time on that tomorrow.  I got back to Cammie's school a little early and it was actually really nice to just sit under a tree and read for a bit outside.  When we got home we stopped by the pigs and fed them some apples which they seemed to enjoy and then we had to stop by the goats (they had gotten out of their yard when we were headed to school so Cammie wanted to make sure that they were all OK) and then when we got the mail Cammie was THRILLED to receive her new Teddy!  She hasn't put him down since then.  We played with the dogs for a while outside and watered the flowers that are left blooming and she actually crashed early tonight.  I am headed for bed myself now!
