Weekend Update!!!

Its that time again... WEEKEND UPDATE!!!

Here are all the details of how I spent my weekend.

First up.. since we need some fun stuff to look at...

Here are the kiddos.. ready to get on the bus..

not actually the FIRST day for all..

but at least this was taken during the first WEEK. :)

They all love school and I am so glad to be back in a routine!!

Friday night was spent at Angela's parents HUNTING CABIN.. way out in the woods... with a BONFIRE.. and some of my favorite UNITY PEEPS and great friends. We enjoyed the crisp fall air.. looked at the stars.. talked smart and best of all.. LAUGHED. A LOT. it was great!

Saturday.. i read a book. yep. thats it. read 500+ pages. could NOT put it down until i was done.. i'm going crazy waiting for Eryn to finish the sequel so i can get my hands on it. i'm now convinced i want my OWN VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND. Edward stole my heart!!! The book is TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer. you need to check it out. and if you don't like reading.. the movie is coming to theaters Dec. 12. better believe that i'll have a front row seat for that!!!

Today... first day of Sunday school for the kiddos.. we stayed after for a fish fry and carnival games.. it was FUN! rest of the day was spent relaxing at home.. i've been catching up on laundry. trever grilled us pork chops for dinner. the kids are playing outside. great day!!!

And.. i did a bit {just a tiny bit} of blog hopping.. and came across this on Karen's blog..from Prevention magazine.. i love it! this is definitely getting printed and put where i can see it daily. great things to remember!

IT'S OKAY to be who you are. You only need to compete with yourself to improve
and become a better person.

TREAT yourself with care: You are your best friend.

THROW away resentments you hold for others and laugh more often.

TOUCH others by being a good listener and appreciating their thoughts and
opinions.

SAY no to risky behavior.

FORGIVE yourself for not being perfect.

EAT well, exercise, and take your vitamins. Your body is you temple.

REALIZE how much your family loves you.

REGULARLY re-evaluate your life to keep a clear focus on where you are going.

REMEMBER to appreciate nature, look for what is new each and every day, and hold
the Earth and its people close to your heart.


Life is precious, and we need to treasure it as a rare jewel. Our experiences
can help polish off rough spots and make our lives shine. What you make of your
life is up to you.

HOPE YOU HAD A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!
