Last Week In Review

I finally have a few moments to give an update on our last week. Many of you have asked how working part-time is going. Well, this week was my first week working my reduced 20 hour workweek (actually it was 23 hours, but close enough to 20 for me). I can't even begin to express how much I loved it. Even thought I wasn't "at work" this week it was a very busy one. Monday I worked and Camden stayed with the sitter. On Tuesday, Camden and I traveled with Steph and Riley to Carbondale IL to visit Angie and Caitlyn Kribs. It was about a 3 hour trip one way and the kiddos where absolutely wonderful. No meltdowns until we pulled in Steph and Riley's drive way. We had such a wonderful time catching up with Angie and the kids enjoyed playing with Caitlyn and all her toys. We even tried finger painting - it wasn't as successful as we'd hoped so we'll probably try again in a few more months. Wednesday was our Wal-mart/Trick or Treat Day. I took Camden to my Grandma's and then we went to Wal-mart. Thank goodness Nana (my mom) was at Wal-mart when we arrived because I was in much need of help. Camden isn't quite setting in the cart very well and not content in his car seat. Once I lay him in the cart there is no room for all my purchases and well, most of you know my horror story of Wal-mart with Camden - I'm so afraid some other catastrophe will occur when I walk thru those doors with Camden. Thanks Nana for all the help! Thursday was back to work for a very long day. Camden stayed with Nana until his Daddy got home. I became ill on Thursday at work so Friday was a stay at home, get some rest, catch-up on laundry, and family day. Saturday I went to crop to catch up on my pregnancy scrapbook. Yep, you heard me - I never finished my pregnancy scrapbook. Camden did come a bit early leaving me with some unfinished projects. I'm almost done now - another day of scrapbooking and it will be complete - I can't wait! Austin helped my dad pour concrete in his new pole building so Camden hung out with Nana. Camden did a craft project and stamped his feel in his Pappy's building. I wasn't there to see it, but my wonderful husband captured the event for me. Today we've gone to church and I'll be going to my cousin's fiance's bridal shower. Hopefully my boys will get some rest and then we're headed to a weenie roast with our church family.








P.S. Steph and Angie - may I have your email addresses so that I may send you the photos I took during our visit?
