catchup post

I'm behind in my posting.

Cody shot 2 deer on opening day (Saturday). They are at the processing place now, hopefully we can pick them up this weekend when we are in Jennings for Thanksgiving. We are getting half a pig in January, and part of a cow in the Spring too so the freezer is definitely going to come in handy.

Sunday we came home and had Garrett's b-day party. He had a green cake with the Incredible Hulk on it ( LOL,... he calls it the incredible hunk) I didn't take any pics because at the time I had no idea where the camera was, turns out it was in the car. He got lots of stuff: money, a transformer, a ball and glove, an entire army outfit with gun and misc stuff, a log with cans and bottles that you shoot and they pop off the log when you get them, it's a laser thing so no lost bullets :), a movie and puzzle, Moon Sand, a shirt, and a nerf gun. The last was promptly used to hunt the cat and have a gunfight with Cody in the living room. Both of which provided great entertainment for the rest of us. Later the kids ran around in circles while Cody and Bob picked them off with it. The kids thought it was great! :)

Today I had a Dr apt and found out some happy news,.....I only weigh 5 lbs more than I did pre-pregnancy! I was a little over my ideal weight then though. Cody has promised me an entire new wardrobe when I get down to where I want to be. So looking forward to that.!

This afternoon Garrett played with Moon Sand and painted a ceramic monster with 4 eyes. After Bethany woke up they colored pics with markers. They wanted to do play-dough next but I put that off till another time. Now they are watching Busby and the Grumble Bees.

Lily stayed awake for a little over 2 hours this morning. It's the longest time I've ever seen her eyes open. She's sleeping now but I expect her to get up any time now.

The pics are from a few days ago.

I have to go make dinner soon,.....planning on having pork steak, potatoes, veggies, and rolls.
