Both kids & DH ended up with colds this weekend. We still took family pictures Saturday afternoon so FX they turn out well.
Our church’s new priest started yesterday. I’ve never been a part of a church when a new priest is called, so it’s an interesting process.
FIL rescued a baby box turtle from his pool skimmer yesterday & offered it to G as a pet. After half a day of research & an hour at petsmart, we decided as a family to release it back into the wild. G set it free in the bushes at FIL’s house. But now he’s hoping for a betta fish for his birthday, thanks to the trip to pet smart.
Hello C turns 3 today so it's a day of festivities. I made a dirt cake in a dump truck for the cake. It wasn't sure how we would refrigerate the dump truck but it fits in or wine fridge thankfully 😆.
kartish I will just point it out and remind them not to be rude. It is hard because some times adults (ahem FIL) egg them on and I still just say. Hey, let's be nice to Grandpa. Don't be rude etc. lilyelayne my sister has had a box turtle since she was 5 years old. They are awesome pets and pretty easy maintenance wise! But definitely a long term commitment. A baby box turtle would be so cute!! Hope everyone feels better soon. aggiebug happy birthday C!! Cute cake idea! ETA: wait 3 years old? Holy S! Where does time fly...
Speaking of laundry, I am behind since the end of the week was just dumb here. I try to complete at least a load a day to keep up but ughghgh. Towels are ridiculous (I didn't even think we owned that many).
Tonight is left over chili for dinner yum! Oh and guess what? This morning I ran for 25min. I never thought I'd be able to do that. On week 8 of 9 for couch to 5k. I am still shocked! Wednesday is 30 min....eeek.

You are kicking butt way to go running that whole time. Awesome job.
dreemkin way to go on the run!! That’s awesome! And that’s cool your sister has kept her box turtle so long! We would’ve loved to watch this one grow up, but it just wasn’t the right time to add a pet to the family. Also in general I think wild animals should stay wild. But it was awfully cute!
Thanks guys! I am also now 8lbs away from my current goal! Eeeh! Today I'm making the pickle juice marinated chicken sandwiches that we like so much. I also learned that when you run out of parchment paper you can use Ziploc bags to pound chicken thin. Norah's picture retakes are today and I'm hoping they turn out well. Oh my goodness the first attempt was not good. I've never seen her hair look like that before....not sure what happened there. Also, they seem to do weird angles that make her look different. I normally wouldn't care much except that the families are asking for pics so we bought a small package. Also, I like to have a class pic. Tonight is RE.
lilyelayne that looks a little different than my sister's (I'm sure there are millions of turtles out there). So cute though. Sheldon is a beloved family pet. We've all been roommates with him lol (we used to share rooms when we were little). I totally agree about wild animals though. Even though my parents got him at a pet store, I think hers was probably found in the wild because they were unsure of his age at the time 🐢 My sister jokes that she is going to put it in her will to give him to the girls lol.
Last night I reminded S and suggested we pick out an outfit that makes her feel super. Her response:. And beautiful! I know I will weary llama dress. Everyone is going to love my style 😊.
Here is her outfit, complete with Christmas unicorn leggings. I love it 😆
We’re keeping my nephews this weekend. Been good so far! It’s the local university’s homecoming, so this morning DH took all the big kids to breakfast with the mascot. We’ll all go to the football game this afternoon. Glad it’s sunny because it’s also cold!
The past two days have been busy with orientation at work. Now that's over, time to get back to getting October closed and ready for the start of the winter season.
My best friend is freaking out over family drama. Her family and her husband's family all treat them like the black sheep for some unknown reason. Me and another friend offered to be a Thanksgiving alternative, so I might be hosting a friendsgiving this year. That would be fun for the boys I think.
