The boys and I wen to MOPS this morning. It was spa day so we had ladies come in and give massages and makeup, and they had a nail table and pedicures. It was really fun and the boys really like playing with the other kids.

Got everything on my list done today. I am all ready for company!! I hope every one has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Whew!! What a weekend! It started Friday night with a Pampered Chef show in Center. The weather was not so nice and i wasn't sure I was going to get to go. But once I got outside of Mandan the roads were fine. The show was ok I hope to get more orders before we close the show on Wednesday.

On Saturday morning the boys and I went over to Debbie's to help her make lefse. Debbie rolled and I flipped. The boys had a really good time playing with "new" toys. After we left there Kristi and Hunter come over to our house so we could do some baking. We made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, a double batch of oatmeal coconut, peppermint bark, rice crispy bars, almond cover pretzels, and brownies. I need the peppermint bark and rice crispies for the chili cook off at church so I thought I should make a day of it. It only took us 4 hours and 1 trip to the grocery store!!

On Sunday after church Tim put up the Christmas light. He had rented a lift to do another tree in town so he decided to put light up on the top peak.

Today the twins and I went grocery shopping. We went to walmart and to the grocery store to get everything we need for our company! Yeah!! I will clean some to night and some tomorrow night. I had planned on cleaning tomorrow morning but I almost forgot I have MOPS!

The twins are too cute. We were singing today, something with the word "Alleluia" in it, and the boys repeated it and continued to sing it all day. It is so cute!!!

I talked to Layne's teacher today. I told her it was taking us an hour to home work and about 25 minuted to read. So we decide to cut out the "family times" sheet and have Layne read half a book every night. I think this will help. We also decided that we would work back up to doing all the homework and reading whole book. She also contacted the schools social worker and got Layne into a program so he can get his eyes check and if he were to need glasses they would be free. So I am going to meet him tomorrow after school to get the paper work, then I can set up the appointment.

This is my 100th post. I started doing this in July and I hope you all have enjoyed reading about us. Sometimes I think we can be pretty entertaining.

We meet a friend today for a play date. I hadn't seen Pam in a while and it was nice to have some grown-up time, but the boys weren't feeling well. I really hope they aren't getting what Debbie has.

Brenden can now say "love you" and he is so cute when he says it. He has also started poking me with the yarn on his blanket when he is cuddling. Layne used to poke me with the corner of his blanket. It is so cute!!

I have been really busy and finally had time to add pictures. I put up 3 new slide shows.

So we had a really nice weekend. My mom came over on Saturday and we made some cookies, Tim, Layne, mom, and I had a good time decorating cookies. If you are going to be at my house for Thanksgiving you will get to eat the fruits of our hard work!!

On Sunday Layne and I went out to buy new shoes and it took us 2 hours. He was really set on getting sketchers--a special kind of shoes--that are $45. I said no way. I was not going to spend that kind of money on shoes for a kid. So we looked around and finally found a pair on sale for $25, they we not the fancy style but they had the name and Layne was happy. I can't believe he his old enough to know brands.

This week is actually pretty quite. Just bible study and a pampered chef show. Gives me time to get ready for company!!! Yeah!!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
