OUR FAMILY CHAOS

Well we made it back from Monroe safe and sound. We had a good time visiting with my Dad! Mason played until he just couldn't play any more. We had Crab and Corn Bisque (which I have never had) and it was really good, Prime rib grilled - really good too!, Lobster boiled in crab boil - really good, and baked potatoes. I didn't eat a whole lot and got really full!!! I think my favorite of all of it was the prime rib grilled - I have never had prime rib grilled and it was really tender and tasty! Mason ate a baked potato like he is not supposed to do -- so now he is drippy again, but you know he liked it and he pays the consequences of it - so if that is what he wants to do so be it!

We put all the Christmas decor in the attic tonight and I started cleaning the house -- I got the living room done and I am worn out! I vacuumed everything from floors to the furniture! I will start the dining room tomorrow! When I clean I have to do it from top to bottom so it takes me for ever to finish unless I am in a rush and then I clean like normal!

I need to get Mason's birthday invitations out some time this week or weekend for his party on the 28th! He will be 3 - my how time flies and how much he has grown. I hope the weather is a pretty then as it has been the past few weeks on his birthday. I bought one of those jumping things last year and it was so cold outside they jumped for a while and then came in to warm up and then back outside to jump and back in. So maybe this year it will be pretty and we can do it all outside.

Today it was so pretty and the wind was blowing and it was nice just to sit outside and watch the kids play. That is the one thing I miss about our house now is that the windows don't open (like most older houses) and I can open them up to get the fresh air in. Maybe one of these days I will have enough money saved up to get new windows! That is our next huge investment! Today I was talking to Carrie and she had the windows open at her apartment and Olivia was standing up looking out the window and just playing -- then she fell hit her head and was totally pissed off - so we had to get off the phone.

I hooked up my web cam today and Guy hooked up Carrie's so maybe one day this week we can try it out and see how it works. I told my Dad about it and he was really inquiring about it and how much they cost - he might get one too! So he can talk to the kids and stuff!

Well I have gave you all an ear full so I guess I will close for now! Hope you all have a successful weight lose week!

Love ya Beth
