Just in case....

Just in case you were thinking..."Oh, she is a teacher. We will get to have an updated blog from her during her two week break." You were partially right. :) I don't have time to really update, so I am just going to give a brief overview of why I can't give a full update. I think I am doing this because for some reason I have the worst, guilty conscience about not blogging. I am sure you are thinking, she must have one all the time since she never updates!

Here's what I've been doing....keeping the boys both from home this two weeks to save some money, wrapping presents, cleaning the house, running errands, watching Marmaduke (a million times), and potty training. YES! Potty training! I'll update about that later. It's going really well though. We are on day 3 and tomorrow is the true test. We are going out of the house! AHHHHHHHHHHH! Yes... pray for me.

Dirty kitchen... now cleaned!


House covered in towels so that I am not cleaning up pee all the time!


My sweet David sitting on the couch watching Marmaduke... in the nude (and boots!)


David's throne room... decorated with Toy Story


The dining room table that I am typing on now... how, I don't know.


Jack and Anne Riley at the farm. They are 3 and 1/2 months apart... yes, he is a big boy!

This is how all of our pictures start:

Happy Jack



Here is the deer I killed Thanksgiving weekend. It was the first deer I have ever killed. The last time I went I was 16, with my dad. I shot and missed and huge buck in the field. This time I wasn't missing. With David (2 year old) and Matthew in the stand, we set up for our hunt. Out walked a buck. Matthew loaded the gun for me, I aimed and bam! Shot him and he dropped to his knees! It was so much fun!!
