Fall Break…Are we done yet?

This week has been long. Too long. I love having the kids home but man Im ready for a break. A week of no school and only one derby day in there makes for a ready to be on her own again mamma. Little things like going to the store…or ANYWHERE. What did I do before kids were in school? I guess I never had them both home full time together except during the summer. Maybe because it’s Black Friday weekend and Im itching to Christmas shop but can’t go with them. Because it’s not like I have the rest of the month to do it. I think it was just my reason to get out and not be tethered to kids for a couple of hours. Soon…one more day.

Anywho, I feel like I’m rambling and can’t make a complete thought. I swear writing is the worst part of blogging. I feel like I just spew out all the things Im thinking at once and then post 50 random pictures to follow it up with.

Which is what I’m doing today.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to get a good family shot of us to get cards made/hang on the wall maybe?

But now, random pictures so I can go start dinner. I don’t think I can get away with corn dogs and sandwiches much longer.

DC watching squirrels.

Handsome Thomo. This guy went out on his first hunting trip yesterday and got his first deer. Totally creeps me out.

This guy didn’t go hunting…but he did watch the first 5 minutes of the Hunger Games.

 I promise Layla exists. She has been hiding in her room playing with her My Little Ponies again. I never see her.
