I cannot believe we are already 6 days into November! It is truly amazing how fast time seems to go.
October was a busy month for us but it was good. Hubby and I celebrated 9 years of marriage with a lunch alone. We enjoyed our time together while the boys enjoyed their time with their Boo.
Our church held a beautiful Pastor Appreciation party for us. We love what we get to do so much and we love this family that we get to be a part of everyday. God has indeed blessed us with and incredible church family and we feel blessed everyday. It is an honor to get to do what we do and we feel that from our head to our toes!
We had a wonderful Family Fall Festival a few Sundays ago. It was so much fun. The kids in children's church and I started a campaign against my hubs to get him dunked in the dunk tank repeatedly and IT WORKED! We had a blast dunking him and our youth pastor and several others!
Easton had his first dentist appointment. Poor fella has to have fillings this month. I was so disappointed even after we were told that it wasn't because we were not brushing well. I just hate it for the lil man.
Both boys hit a growth spurt and nearly ate us out of house and home. I couldn't not seem to keep them satisfied. I am not a huge fan of growth spurts because I feel like I don't recognize them for what they are until they are almost over and my poor boys are miserable.
Hubby put our outside Christmas lights up in October!! We are just so excited to have a house to decorate and could not wait any longer. They look awesome and we all love them so much!! Our trees will be going up just as soon as I can get the house cleaned and organized.
I have been sick for the last several days and have not gotten much done around the house. Both the boys have been a little under the weather too.
Our days have been starting EARLY since the time change, E likes to get up with the sun. I am going to need to get him some black out curtains so we can sleep past 6am.
I have noticed that the lighting in my wonderful house has changed with the season and I am loving it. I get more natural light in the kitchen and it just makes my heart so happy.
The boys and I are a little frustrated with how long it takes for the back yard to dry out so we can go play. We spend most of our time on the front porch if it is not too cool and wet or inside. The boys are already going a bit stir crazy. It may be a long winter season for us. I am going to have to find some creative ways to help the cabin fever!
I am mostly ready for Christmas. We do the 5 gift rule. Something to wear, read, want, need & a santa gift. We have the Santa gift and read covered. I just need to get their wear and want gifts and one other for a family party we're attending.
We love this time of year! Hubby is loving all of the football on tv and I am loving all the Hallmark movies. We love the cooler weather when we get it. And Christmas is just about to be in full swing!
Here's to a wonderful month filled with inspiration and fun!
Father,
Thank you for your goodness. Thank you for your unconditional love. Father teach me, show me, change me. Help me to continue on the narrow path and pressing on toward the goal. Help me to forgive freely, love freely, hope freely and strive to be more of the woman that you created me to be. I pray that we would not just survive in this season or the next but that we would thrive and please you. In Jesus name. Amen.
