Never a dull moment!

Well we have had some really nice cold weather. Its definitely getting close to winter time:) Well today Stephen decided to buy some fire wood and have a wonderful fire tonight:) He gets things started and its looking really nice in our living room, real calm and Christmas tree shining next to it and then we start noticing the "smokey" smell is getting stronger and stronger. The vent is OPEN and we see LOTS of smoke coming out of the chimney outside, so what could all the smoke be from????

After we sit and watch our living room fill up with smoke, Stephen says "thats it!". He gets a metal pan and starts taking out piece by piece of fire wood. He takes it to the back porch and waters it down. He said one of the pieces was very sticky and looks like it has "sap" on it:( Grrr! I can't believe these people sold us wood that wasn't "dry"! Oh well, never a dull a moment at our house:)haha

Just had to share!

Oh no!........STREP-THROAT!

Yes, my poor baby Camille has strep throat:( She woke up this morning stating her "throat hurt when she swallowed or coughed". I looked back there and her tonsils were swollen a little, but nothing too bad and she didn't have fever. So, she gargled with salt/warm water, I sprayed chloraseptic spray and she sucked on a few throat lozenges and went her merry way to school. I was expecting someone to call me from school to tell me to come get her but no one called!

So as Simone & I are waiting in line in the parking lot to pick up Camille after school, I get a call on my cell from the school secretary saying "Camille's teacher just called and said Camille is not feeling well". So after I went in and got her we headed straight to the doctor's office(which I LOVE, because they are very good at getting us worked in:). They swabbed her throat and it immediately came up positive:( She was running a low grade fever at 99.2, but now I am pretty for sure she is in the 100's now.

She is laying in her bed now and has already taken her first dose of Amoxicillin and I am sure she will feel better tomorrow. She will be out of school tomorrow, but the doctor said she could return on Friday:) Please keep Camille in your prayers.......she can't stand being sick and not able to jump rope:)haha

Jump rope Queen!

My SWEET Fairies!!!!

Tonight, we went to "trunk or treat" that was hosted by the local baptist church here in Wylie and it was great! They had their wonderful youth band playing contemporary worship music, food and LOTS of candy! The girls had a good time and I am so glad they did it today and not tomorrow night. The girls dressed up as "fairies" and I made their head pieces and I think they turned out pretty good:) Let me know what you think!

Pumpkin Carving Time.........Guess it!

This evening we finally got to carve the pumpkin we bought on Sunday! The girls were so excited and couldn't wait to see the design we picked out to carve. They were a bit grossed out by the pumpkin guts, but quickly got over it and got dirty:) See if you can guess what our image is. Put the answer in a comment and we will see you the clever one is!!!!! Enjoy!!

















So excited!


You can barely see our little pumpkin from the sidewalk:(haha

FIREPROOF YOUR MARRIAGE!

This evening Stephen and I went to see the movie "Fireproof" with Kirk Cameron and I have to say this was an AWESOME movie!!!! This is a great movie for every married couple young and old. It just shows that marriage can be a wonderful thing and we all know that starts with having an individual foundation in Jesus Christ! I encourage each and everyone one of you married couples to go see this movie, it will bless your marriage:) God is good and I am so thankful for my dear husband Stephen. God is doing wonderful things in our marriage and it can only get better from here! Go see it!
