Pre-Thanksgiving Campout

The past two days I have been cleaning, doing laundry, and knitting when I get a break in. Yesterday was upstairs today is down.

Sunday I thunked the turkey into the fridge to thaw. We are crossing our fingers that it will not be half frozen on Thursday.

Starting tonight James is off until Monday. We are planning on having a campfire in the back and James is going to see if he can sleep in the backyard tent (a dome tent that has been dubbed since it has been up since the summer) by himself if he waits until after the kids are put to bed. We will see. I forsee that the mini campers will suggest camping while there is a fire. They are a very persistant bunch.

Eva's B'day Bash

My little princess! She had such a fun time!

I don't know how she was able to walk around in her heels

but she did a great job of it!

Thank's everyone for coming and having fun with us!!

Trick or Treat!

Fall Is In The Air

I am so glad for the nice morning temperatures! Jacob, Eva and I have been walking each morning after we drop Ethan off for school. Today we say some Monarch Butterflies! I believe that we saved one's life when we approached a bird that flew off and then the butterfly did as well.

Utah

James' company got a contract for an assisted living retirement community that is going to be built it Utah. They will be starting this winter and will last about a year and a half. He will be going up at a week or two at a time. It will be interesting to see what he thinks of working in the cold.

I am sad, but it is also a blessing that he has a job that will have work for him. He has busy during these summer months, but I wasn't sure how the winter would go. Here in AZ no one is really willing to go without their A/C, but the winter is a different story. I wasn't sure what his hours would be like, but this should keep him busy.
