Another week done and over with!
What can I say? It was a long one!
Still no cat. All we can hope is she found another family to live with and that she's safe & warm somewhere.
Nicole had her Thanksgiving feast at school yesterday. We signed up to bring in the pumpkin pie & cool whip. Mrs. Tinker said none of the kids really liked it-- little snots! :) Nicole was a little upset that I didn't join her for her feast until I reminded her that Aubrey would have had to come and she might not have been very fun- haha!
Mike isn't having too good of a time lately. Acutally, I take that back, he feels better today. His back went out on Monday..... I swear he has had the worst luck health wise this year. I think he had the stomach flu twice, one time so bad he had to get an iv. He pretty much sat in medical for two days. And now this back thing. It's was so bad they prescribed him hard core narcotics. Then the poor dude calls me from work yesterday and says he has a flat tire! I had to bring him a jack and he refused to let me change it--- you should have seen him with his gimped up back trying to get the tire changed! Like I said though, he's better today, which is good since we leave tomorrow.
Yep, we're off to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving. Opted to leave tomorrow since Mike is working today and both of the girls have school. We'll stay til next Wednesday. We're pretty excited because my favorite father-in-law scored us tickets to the Steeler game on Monday- high five!
Anyway, we hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Safe travels to those of you that are hitting the road!
Miss & love you all!

Orange Beak-a-Lop & Fudge
The birds. Here they are!!! They are some egg laying freaks! Every couple of weeks there's a new nest full. I think they have 7 in there right now. Not sure if
they are both female or what, because none have hatched. I've heard that it could take time for them to get the hang of it though.....guess we'll find out eventually! I have to say, they are like the best pets ever! So easy to take care of and not loud and obnoxious at all.

The latest....
The week is over!
Our cat ran away one week ago yesterday. Not sure where she went, but hope she isn't roadkill somewhere. It's been really cold out too..... would be nice if she ended up somewhere safe & warm.
Had the girls' parent/ teacher conferences. Aubrey got A's in everything (Almost Always is able to do things). Nicole got half and half S's & O's (Satisfactory, Outstanding)....few N's (Needs Improvement)-- the girl can't skip! Haha! They are both doing great in school though. They love it!
Mike's been landscaping this weekend, making some extra xmas cash for the fam. Worked all day Sat and is working again today. He enjoys it, he really truly thinks it's fun (he's crazy!). He's got another 5K on Wednesday-- that means another t-shirt for me, yeah!
Took Nicole to see Bee Movie yesterday with her friend, Jordan, from school....Paige & Jordan also joined us. I liked it! Not sure how much the kids enjoyed it, but I thought it was pretty dang funny.
Was really excited to get home and see we were about to win the Steeler pool.....which we did! Too bad it wasn't last week when the pot was up to a grand- that's ok, we'll still take it!
Another week starts today. We're picking up Madeline from preschool for some afternoon entertainment. Nicole can't wait!

Elmo Live
Free tickets again this year, from our favorite cousin, Kristin! Aubrey was jammin! (rhe video isn't the best quality, but you can see her dancing!)
Miss Jen & Mr. Chris
Jordan & Paige's parents......they are our friends even though they live outside of the "sac" (cul-de-sac that is- hahaha!)
Cousin Madeline
Madeline joined us for the "Trunk-or-Treat" event. She goes to the same preschool as the girls.
Nicole's Best Buddy
Nicole & Jordan are pals. They are in the same class this year and were in the same one last year. Her Dad is also from Pittsburgh--- figures!
Trunk-or-Treat
Busy Halloween week for us this year!
We participated in "Trunk-or-Treat" held by the girls' preschool. Mike, of course, was all into it. He decorated the van and then entertained the other moms with his silly remarks all morning. The kids loved it!
