Rainy weekend

Saturday was cold and rainy!  The girls and I stayed in our jammie's and never left the house!  When Kenzie woke up she was on the hunt to find Nick!  She got so frustrated and when Madi woke up she ran strait to him and pointed it out!  The look on Kenzie's face was priceless!

Scotty brought home dinner for us and then I snuck off to the gym!  I went to the one in my neighborhood for the first time in months!  I got in a good workout and headed home for bed, or so I thought!  I remember now why I don't like working out at night!  I couldn't fall asleep until around 1'ish.  This morning the girls of course were up extra early!  It's like they know when I go go to bed late!  Kenzie found Nick this time!

He was sitting in the chandelier with a note that said "keep it clean".  They thought this was hilarious.  Scotty and I had some Christmas stuff to do today and had Sarah come over and play with the girls!  It rained ALL DAY!  Like flooding rain!  We came home to stickers everywhere, painted nails and tattoos!  They had fun!  

Nick is back

This morning we woke up to a breakfast surprise from our elf Nick!  He decorated and brought donuts and cinnamon rolls!  Kenzie was very excited to see him again!

We'll see what kind of shenanigans he gets into this year!!  Bebe came over this morning to hang out and we ran to a few stores!  Mom and I were exhausted when we got home and put a movie on for the girls in my room so we could lay down!  They were crazy and all over the place so it wasn't very relaxing for us!  After baths I painted their fingers and toes with the "special elf" polish that Nick brough!

We ended our night with our first fire of the season!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving!  The best friends and family ever, a nice home to raise our family in, food on our table, our health and being able to be home with my babies everyday and never miss a moment!  

We stopped at grandma and grandpas house first!  Yummy found and good company!  Bebe and Papa's house was up next!  (I saved my meal to eat there). I ate way to many sides, not enough turkey and an extra slice of pie--and I don't feel bad about it at all!

Throwback to last year...

Scotty took the girls home before the football game started and mom and I planned out our shopping!  We did some online and then decided it just didn't feel right not going anywhere!  We do it every year!  We went to a few stores and got some goodies!

It was rainy and cold and I think that kept some people at home because it didn't seem as busy as it normally does!!  I have most of my shopping done now which is a relief!  Happy Thanksgiving!

A visit to Santa

Tuesday morning I did a chisel class at the gym which is working out with weights for an hour!  I decided to stay for the spin class to get some cardio in!  I don't "love" spin class, but it does but a lot of calories!  My bum and neighboring regions are sore for days from the damn seat though.

The girls and I stayed home the rest of the day!  Did some cleaning and playing and finished a few projects that needed done around the house!  We turned on our Christmas lights for the first time and it looks so pretty!

Wednesday morning I snuck off to the gym early before Scotty had to go to  work.  I did 4.5 miles on the treadmill and burned a little over 400 calories!  The rest of the day was spent playing referee between the girls!  Kenzie is in another "phase", or at least I hope it is, and it is driving us all crazy!  Bossy, mad, emotional, but then silly with a crazy laugh that she won't stop!  They have been fighting and crying and yelling so much lately!  But then they have moments of giggling and playing and being sweet!  I guess that's the life of sisters so close in age!  Korie and Dallas came over later and we took the kids to see Santa!  We got there at 5, when Santa started, and we had to get a pass for 7.....seriously?  We took the kids to dinner to pass some time and then went back!

Kenzie hopped right up there and told him she wanted a Minnie car and a surprise egg (from a show she watches on the iPad).  Made got a little nervous but then sat on his lap and smiled!

So big compared to last year!

Family pictures

I started off Sunday by going to the gym! Seems like I work out the hardest on Sunday's.  Maybe because I have the whole place to myself and just do my own thing!  When I got home we got ready to go take family pictures!  They have been canceled and rescheduled so many times that we were all ready to get them done!  Madi woke up looking like this from her nap!  We had to tame it down!!

The girls did awesome and Scotty didn't complain once!

These were some of the sneak peaks she sent me!  I can't wait to see the rest!!  We picked up some pizza on the way home and then Kenzie and I went to her end of the season Bulldog skating party!  I thought it was just the flag cheer and football teams that were going to be there but it was the whole organization!  It was a little crazy but Kenzie had fun!

The teams got called out individually to come up and get a trophy!  They were so excited!  I got Kenzie a "skate aid" and it was AMAZING!  She took off and skated on her own and I got to sit down and chit chat with the moms!

Monday morning I was so tired!  I could not get myself out of bed so I finally turned off my 80 alarms on my phone and slept until 10.  I guess my body needed rest!  I felt bad not going to the gym, but it is what is!  We met Korie and Dallas for breakfast/lunch and then went to Target!  Korie took Kenzie to the movies with her and Dallas.  Madi and I went to a bunch of stores while they were gone!  I'm about 90% done with my Christmas shopping!

Catching up

Kenzie had a Thanksgiving feast at school on Thursday!  They all got to eat their lunch in the hallway at a big table and wear cute hats and necklaces that they made!

We came home and her and Madi decorated their tree in the playroom and I put some garland up on the stairs!

Madi started feeling bad and saying her ear hurt and even made me kiss it.  Before bed she was super cranky and had a fever!  

Friday morning we were supposed to  have a play date with some friends but I decided to keep them home incase she was sick!  We went to the doctor and poor girl has an ear infection!  She did so good and didn't cry at all!  She has gained a pound and is finally gaining on the growth chart!

Saturday I went to the gym!  It was my first time being able to go on a Saturday since we didn't have a game to cheer at! Afterwards we spent the day at Bebe and Papa's house!  I helped get down all their Christmas stuff from the attic and we started decorating the tree!  Bebe and and the girls made muffins, on the floor...

Kenzie stayed and spent the night and made crafts!
