So sorry for the nearly a week delay!! I
hope you’re all doing ok out there in reader land! :) We’ve
been busy here and apparently I’ve neglected you. We had Alan’s
parents up for a visit last weekend (they brought us new-to-us
dining room chairs and a computer desk!), then dinner with
Grandpa and Grandma the next day. Lots of Pampered Chef stuff
going on. I signed my 3rd recruit!! Go me! :) Michelle and I
took the kids apple picking on a day that was supposed to be
sunny and beautiful. Turns out it was the first frosty morning,
but we had fun anyway. It was a short trip, but fun :)

Caitlin
and Eve. I was debating about getting Eve a more girly winter
wardrobe, but then Michelle offered to let me borrow a very
nice girlish winter coat for her. Yay! So here she is looking
like a boy, but soon you’ll see a more girly look on the girl
:)

Lex,
playing tug-o-war with the local apple stand puppy. He’s an
adorable dog! Lex is sporting his new jacket from our neighbor.
I’m still undecided if I like it, but Lex has taken a liking to
it so I think my opinion probably doesn’t matter
anyway.

Got
back from dinner tonight with our friends Mike & Andi
and their boys. The evening ended around 7:00pm when Lex walked
in to the kitchen, almost in tears, and said “mommy, we need to
go home now.” On the way home he explained that he was crying
because he was angry at me. I had said about 10 minutes earlier
that we had to get going soon, so apparently he was angry at me
because I started talking again and we didn’t leave right away.
I suggested perhaps his tiredness and bad dinner (chips!) also
had something to do with his feelings. He said, “yes, the pizza
made me angry.” Sarcasm? We had pizza for dinner (Caprese Pizza
from Pampered Chef, soo yummy!) and I had him take one bite to
taste it. I guess it was an angry bite! Crazy kid. Anyway, it’s
way too late now and I really should be sleeping. I’m training
my new recruit tomorrow and immediately afterwards several
other consultants will be joining us for a a Pampered Chef
movie night to watch a fun new training DVD. Will be fun, but
busy. Hope this will tide you all over for a few more days.
I’ll try to be a better blogger ;)
