Yes, today I am thankful for Monday. The weekend was so crazy that at least with Monday comes a routine. It is also only a two day week so this Monday will not be bad at all.

Up On The House Top
Today was another full day of shoots. I am very thankful for the work though.
After work I came home and it was time for the yearly roof top photograph of the boys. This year though they only went on the porch roof, the house roof is a little higher, and a lot steeper than the old house.
Brandon has done an amazing job on the decorations. He has been working his butt off from sun up to sun down, well close to it anyway. We have been on a cup hook buying spree. In fact we bought two Wal-Marts out of the brown ones in the size we need. These make it a pain the first time, but the lights from here on out will be a breeze. I cannot wait to see it completely done. I know that it will be beautiful.

Both the boys did great until it was time to come down. Danny was so scared, it broke my heart completely. He just did not want to turn around. I told him that is the reason I do not go up, I do not like getting off and back on the ladder. It is plain scary in my opinion. I hate to see my boy scared though. He did it though and I was super proud, and spent a lot of time loving on him and assuring him it was all normal.
Working More
I am finishing out the weekend before Thanksgiving on a high note. I have shoots non stop, which I am definitely thankful for. I need as many jobs as I can get before Christmas, it is probably what we will be buying Christmas with.
The boys were going to go to the Auburn game today, but with John Michael being so sick yesterday chancing a two hour drive was just something that they were not up for. Had any of them been sick it would have been miserable.
After I was done working I came home and got Samantha and the boys and we headed to Gardendale. I needed to get some fabric for a project that I am going to attempt for our garland. While we were there the boys had a blast, they found things they added to their Christmas list. They found arts and crafts that they wanted to do, they found fun hats to run around in. Samantha and I had a good time too.
Today I am thankful for being able to spend time doing things that make my boys smile.

Another Sick Day
This morning started off strange. I woke up about 2:00 and ran to check on the boys. They were fine so I went back to bed. I got up a little later and got ready for the day. I was raring to go when John Michael came running in sick. He was super sick.
Brandon took Danny on to school and I stayed home with little man. He broke my heart litterally laying around all day, he finally held down a watersicle about 2:00. I had to leave for work, but Brandon was here with him.
Danny had his first basketball practice so it was a long day at school. We got home about 8:30. It will be our standard time for Monday and Friday nights, but we love this time of the year so it is all good.
Today I am thankful that my baby is feeling better and that a little stomach bug is all we have had to deal with when so many people have so many bigger threats on their plates.
2nd Quarter Progress
So today marks the halfway point for the second quarter. It is also the halfway point for November. Wow! Yep that about sums it up for me.
John Michael did great on his progress report. He is really enjoying school and he is definitely learning a lot. I am so proud of the progress that he has made and I know that he will keep it up. Now, if only I could get him to learn how to tie his shoes.
Danny did amazing too! He is such a smart cookie, with an amazing desire to learn. Everyday he is really soaking it in and making more strides towards greatness.
Both of the boys are like sponges. Today I am thankful for all that they have been able to teach me and that I know I will continue to learn from them.

Pick It Up
Today we had to get the Cub Scout's popcorn from Golden Flake.
I could not get it and one of our other leader's offered to. I am so thankful to have so many great parent's involved in Scouting who are willing to help and be a part of all that has to be done.

A Little Magic
Today was a long one.
I dropped the boys off at school and then had to get some things from Brandon so that I could get some things shipped out. He printed some labels for me since my printer is on the fritz, like it always is.
I had to meet someone from Ashley's list to get her a book that she got from me. It is a pretty cool firetruck and work truck book. I love Ashley's List, and really appreciate all of the work that they put into it to keep it running smoothly. I have a lot to get on it so hopefully I can find some time. Of course I cannot find the time to do much of anything that I need to do. Maybe soon.
The boys had a great day at school.
After School Care was great but there were a lot of kids almost 60, which is a lot. Everything went smoothly.
The 2nd Home and School Meeting was tonight, which meant Child care until 7:30, which ended up being closer to 8:00. It was SFX Spirit night at Chick-fil-A. The great thing was the workers had dinner purchased for them. Debbie and I gave ours to two of the children whose parents did not order anything for them. It broke our hearts.
Brandon went to the meeting so that I could work, it was a math lesson so he was not very happy that he was there, but I think he enjoyed it too. They do math differently now than they did when I was learning, and so it was nice to have a little better understanding.
We had a magician come to entertain the kids durng the meeting, that was definitely a good thing. Most of them were exhausted and so giving them something to focus on was a plus for everyone!
We headed home, and were glad to be here. It was a great day and I am so thankful for my children to be at a school that has such a poitive relationship with the parents and the children.
