Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

After seeing this on Kari's Blog, I had to enter as well. The list of prizes is amazing, and I would love them all, but the one thing that made the decision for me, was the Vaccuum. I need a vaccuum more then just about anything - (ever tried to vacuum an entire house, living room, hall, bedrooms, ect... with just a hose attachment. I haven't just tried, I've acutally done it at least twice a week - for an entire year and a half.)

lately . . .

I’m not going to apologize for not finishing my goal of every other day for a month. I have tried to feel guilty about it, I tried really really really hard for one or two seconds once or twice a week when I had a second or two to think about anything but what I had to do or where I had to be or what needed to be finished, cooked, bought, made, baked, cleaned, sewn or shuttled to and fro. But just couldn’t find the time to feel guilty – so I don’t!! Oh Well. Anyway – I figured I should take just a moment to show a few pictures of some BIG things we have done the past few week.

First of all – Halloween! Riley was a “nerd” and I think this was one of the best costumes I had ever seen. (Certainly my favorite ever for him - even more so then the elephant , which was adorable).

Wesley had to be a Power Ranger – and was the best looking, cutest Power Rangers ever. (Sorry Tommy, it’s the truth.)

Also Riley had a great season of Football. His team took second place in the Division as well as went on to play in the Championship game – and ended up placing second in the League!! Yeah Riley!!! They may have not won the Championship game – but they lost to the only team they had lost to the whole season – and they played better every time they played that team. We are so proud of Riley – and he can’t wait to start playing again next year!!
