Tonight...

Good evening!  The babies are in bed...have been since around 6:10pm.
I am LOVING daylight savings!  Everyone seems much more rested:)

Trav is headed home from hog hunting with friends...
which means I've had a quiet evening to myself!

I've got my last load of laundry running...
Two week menu plan to my right...
Christmas shopping list to my left...
And blog post in the middle! :)

*This weekend was WONDERFUL!!!
My sister surprised me with a shopping trip, Starbucks and dinner at Olive Garden.
She is hands down the most generous person I know.
She always has been.
(Her boyfriend I might add is generous as well...he helped to fund part of the fun evening :) )
THANKYOU Bekka and David for such an awesome treat!!!


The big kids stayed at their Nan and Pop's house for the evening...
This little fella tagged along and was such a trooper :)

Sweet Emma's dance class had parent's day this afternoon.
Poor girl has had a fever off and on the past few days so she wasn't feeling 100% like herself.
She did such a great job though!!! :)
Love my girl!

My great-grandma started the tradition of making felt stockings for each member of her family.
My grandma and mom have carried on this tradition with all of us.
And now I'm carrying on the tradition with my babies!
Each stocking takes FOREVER to make!
My mom is currently working on a stocking and so far she has put over 30 hours into it!
Cade is still stocking-less so I figured I'd better get my buns in gear and order his!
I'm hoping to have it done by Christmas... we'll see!
Here's the one I ended up purchasing tonight...


I'm going to embroider his name across the top!

Time to head off of here and fold some laundry...
I rented Marley and Me to make the job a little more enjoyable:)
How was your weekend?!
