A Full Day

This morning John Michael and I headed out for his soccer game.  Danny and Brandon were coming behind us.  I was going to have to leave early to get to work.  I have a full day of photo shoots. 

The thing about today is it is FREEZING! It only got colder as the day progressed.  The day went on and for the most part all of the clients were great.  They were definitely troopers as it was not easy being out there.  Watch for my photography blog to be updated soon.  I have had some amazing sessions lately and today there were even more. 

Brandon had to take John Michael to a birthday party for me.  He is not use to being the running around dad, but he did an amazing job!  The best part is Makenzie had a great party.  John Michael was just glad to be able to wear his costume...FINALLY!

We all got home about the same time and it was time to get us all costumed up as we were headed to Amanda's Halloween party.  We had a really great time and are already looking forward to next year. 

Working From Home

Today after I dropped the boys off I stopped by the workout room.  I have been trying to go every morning.  I cannot wait until they get in the rest of the equpiment.  Right now it is pretty much an eliptical and free weights, which is better than nothing in my opinion.  Then I headed home to get ready for Allee's one month session.  It is so nice to be able to work from home.  Somedays, like today, I just feel more creative and more like me when I am hom and not stressing over getting somewhere by a certain time.  It is just nice.  It is another reason why I love my new house, the old house never would have worked for having people come, and here it works perfectly. 
I left and headed to Liberty Park to get the things that we need for our pack meeting.  We are having our Halloween party, but it is complete with awards and several of the boys have  earned them.  Go boys!
When I was on my way to work I realized I forgot the boys costumes and they were supposed to dress up. I feel like such a doop.  Fortunately Amy saved me and made John Michael a zombie.  Danny was okay not dressed up, even though this morning there was a lot of yelling because of costumes.  At least he was okay and not mad at me, hopefully  not being dressed up will not scar him for life. 

The pack meeting was a lot of fun and all of the boys seemed to enjoy the snacks and just have an overall good time, which is what we want for them. 

Haunted Cubs

So today was a pretty good day, while I was nowhere near as productive as I would have liked, it was all good though.

It started with the school Mass with the boys. Today's mass focused on listening to the many voices of God and how He sends us messages in many ways. It was a great message and I was super proud of the boys and the fact that they were able to tell me what Fr. Bob said.

As surgery day is getting closer John Michael is starting to get scared. It breaks my heart. I just keep reassuring him that his ear doctor is great and that Mom and Dad will be right there. It was so much easier when he did not realize what was happening. My sweet baby boy.

John Michael ended the day with a green face, which made me so proud. He is such a sweet boy and just has to learn that he cannot always have it his way.

So I have decided that I will learn how to coupon. I do not know that I will ever been an extreme couponer, but I have to be able to save money and to be able to help others would be nice. First step, remembering to get a Sunday paper.

So tonight was the Cub Scout Pack meeting, which was a Halloween party. We wanted the boys' to have a good time and get to wear their costumes. It was a great meeting. We made goody bags for all of the kids, and I want to thank the parents for all bringing candy to add to them. It is always nice to know that everyone helped out. The bags were full!! Thanks to everyone who helped me get them stuffed too! I had done what I could at home, but getting them finished up was concerning me. Thanks to the amazing parents that we have it was done without any problems.

Well, I am off to bed. Know that you are all in my prayers. Brandon is taking the boys' to school in the morning so hopefully I will be VERY productive.
