Updates

It's been a whole month since I've blogged! So sad! I have plenty of pictures, adventures, and stories to tell! I just uploaded a slew of pictures so give a few days to formulate some posts, but for now I'll just give you a little bit.

Updates:
Floor update-The ripples on my floor due to E's tub catastrophe have gone down quite a bit, but the floor will have to be totally replaced. You can only tell if you walk all the way into our house, bend down and look at it in the light but if we were to ever sell our house it would never pass inspection. As long as we don't encounter any more issues with it, I think we'll just leave it alone until we move. We're going to be living here for awhile and have 2 crazy boys and who knows what could happen to it. I would hate to replace the floor and then have another unfortunate issue with it again and lose my mind! Not to mention the complete and utter mess it would make to replace the entire thing right now. I can't imagine the mess!

E Update- E is still loving school and has started into the art of "story telling." That's putting it nicely. Nothing that comes out of his mouth these days is true! He is constantly telling "stories", made up facts, and other things. The other day I picked him up from school and he told me he got a stamp and a smelly that day. Now that's how his teacher tells you how their day went. If they come home with a stamp then that means they've had a happy face all day and things were good. If they get a smelly (dab of smelly chapstick on their hand) then that means they've gone above and beyond. On 'smelly' days we go get a Happy Meal from McDonalds to celebrate. Well, I drove up in the carpool lane and he got in really excited and told me he got a stamp and a smelly. So I told him how proud I was and all that and that we could go to McDonalds.. We went through the drive through and came home so he could eat. He got half way through his Happy Meal and I asked to see his special stamp and smelly and he hid his hand. He didn't even get a stamp that day! He totally got rewarded for not even getting a stamp! I couldn't even believe it. Not only does he fake stamps and smellys, but he totally tells people things that don't even happen. I can't even imagine all the stories his Primary teacher and preschool teacher hear all the time and I hope they don't believe any of it!

Max- Luckily Max isn't making up stories these days, but he sure is trying to talk! He even tried to say his own prayer the other day during dinner. He says Amen by saying "ma!" It's really cute! He also loves to rock out to the Christmas music that we play in the evenings. He is hilarious to watch! If you ever come over to our house you'll usually find Max walking around with his blanket on his head. We call him "Ghosty McGee" since he looks like a little blue ghost walking around like that. I don't know why he loves it so much, but whatever.

Us-As for Ry and I we are busy busy busy. Ry just finished a Chuy's in Waco and in Cool Springs, TN so he's been here, there and everywhere. I've been holding down the fort and trying to get the rest of the Christmas shopping done. I swear I feel like my head is swimming in the crazy amount of deals that are going on right now! I'll have to be sure to tell you all about my experience on Black Friday. I'm still couponing these days and recently just taught my first couponing class for Enrichment last month. We had quite the turn out and I love hearing all the savings going on when I get to Relief Society on Sundays. It makes my day!

Well, hopefully I'll have some fun posts up from November and get caught up soon.
