starting the holidays.

and so it begins. today we put up our tree :)

treelightsSB1

i have been sneaking christmas decorations up all around the house, here and there, but we have to keep it at a minimum bc of showings.

luckily, where we put our tree, is the perfect spot. so it works out well. the kids freaked out when they saw EJ bring the box out. let me tell you, the more "helpers" you have, the harder it is lol

(don't even comment on the random dog cage in my entryway lol its too cold for the garage - so then the laundry room - then we need that room… kill me)

our life has been pretty… normal.

i dont know if i mentioned before, but reese's ARD meeting is 12/2, but then she has chemo that week. so while i'd waive the 5 day waiting period, i think we'll just start PPCD in january. i mean, why not, right? won't it be fun to get 5 kids out of the house by 7:30am? ej takes A and S - and then i will take RMC with me to R's school. haha

we've been out of the house a lot while people peek into our lives and house for a few hours at a time. its annoying, but gotta do what we gotta do, right? no we arent moving far - we'll stay in town :) assuming well sell soon lol

i am getting more pregnant by the second. and by that i mean larger ;) 35 weeks tomorrow. ::yawn::

this week we'll be having thankgiving at my bro/sil's house. xmas tree lighting on friday, i think. saturday we have a lot of christmas things to do as well :D i can't wait!

THEN today, sawyer and i walked the color run :D sawyer was slow to start lol after we finally got moving and the colors started flying (and by the time we hit the pink station), she was much better. we met friends there and had a great time. at the end, the kids got on the stage and threw out color packets and danced haha sawyer ended up having an awesome time - and so did i. im tired, though ;)

2013 Halloween Night1

we went to bed and the only peep i heard from reese was her sweet hand on my cheek in the wee hours of morning saying "hi mommy!!" bc she wanted another ice water ;)

thank you for your texts and messages yesterday helping me remember that halloween isnt a day of sadness - its the day she started to get BETTER.

now on to thanksgiving…
