Quiet Day At Home

We did not go anywhere today.  It was a home day because it was so cold outside, and now it is snowing.  Supposed to be 2-4 inches by morning.  We are really looking forward to it.  The kids really want to go out and play in it.

We played trains and farm today.   It was awesome.  I suppose I should get new batteries for the trains, but they are just so loud when they run.  It is much quieter and makes the boys move around more.  We can't go run around in the basement because Mr. BJ is working on the trim, handing doors and such for us.  So, we are trying to find things to do upstairs in the mean time.

Max has his class Halloween party tomorrow.  We are all excited about it.  He has finally decided to be a race car driver for Halloween.  He is really into his match box cars, Cars and making them all race.   (Great idea for Christmas).  We just tried on his costume and he wanted to pose just like the kid on the package. Too funny and too cute.

Ben is just too cute.  He has been such a lover lately.  I am not sure why, but it might finally be his two-year old molars.  I cannot believe just how happy he can be.  It is so much fun to watch him play with Max.  He is loving the little peoples barn that we have....we don't have animals or people right now, but the cars have serious conversations.  (I am planning on getting a few more little people things for Christmas, to include animals.)

Guess I am excited about Christmas, even though Halloween is this weekend.  I know Thanksgiving is coming up at Jon and Amy's this year and I cannot wait for that.  I love being around the family and the boys just love Ellie.  I am excited to do our family Christmas at the same time.  YEAH!!  So much to look forward to before the end of the year.  BUT, it does not stop there for me.  I get to go on a Scrapbooking retreat in NM for FREE.  I won it through my scrapbook group and I cannot wait.  3 whole days of scrapbooking with meals and not having to take care of anyone else.  Just friends, fun and scrapping.

While I am looking forward to so many things, I am making sure to enjoy everyday as it comes my way.
