We were at a friend's house watching the Packer game last week when one of the friends there quickly turned to me and said, "Hey! You haven't had a blog post lately! How am I supposed to keep up with what's going on with you and Paul?" So Kayla, this one's for you!
Let's see, we need to rewind a bit. October came and went in a quick hurry. We didn't even carve pumpkins like we normally do but instead stuck Mr. Potato Head like pieces in one pumpkin and I quickly carved a moon into the pumpkin I used at school for a couple of lessons. We did manage to attend a costume party for a friend's birthday. Me as a Minion and Paul in his {supposedly couple's costume} banana outfit. Apparently a Minion was the way to go this year since my kids at school are still talking about my costume!
November is slipping by as quickly as October did. We celebrated Paul's 27th birthday with friends and family and had a great time. He is about 1/2 what through his second clinical and only a few short months away from graduation! We've managed to sneak in a couple of family game nights of course with our faithful fur ball nearby. She'd hate to miss out on the fun!
Last weekend my mom, brother, and sister were out of town at a cattle show. Anyone who knows our family well knows that if mom's not home, dad doesn't eat. Well, not more than eggs, cereal, and left overs at least. So, in exchange for fixing our toilet and my pencil sharpener we had dad over for supper. Again, with the faithful fur ball nearby.
When we were watching the Packer game last weekend Kayla mentioned that in addition to knowing what's going on with Paul and I she can also use our blog to keep up on the latest Millie stories. And of course, no blog post would be complete without one! Let's go back to that dinner with dad. I bought a bag of rolls to go with dinner and at the time we left for the Packer game the next day there were EIGHT rolls left. Let's just examine the "crime scene" I found when we returned home:
Ok, I'm sure you saw where this was going. We came home to find an EMPTY roll bag on the kitchen floor. We instantly turned to Millie and honestly, laughed about how she ate EIGHT rolls in just a couple of hours. And managed not to choke on the bag. However, did you see this turn of events?
That's right, when I walked into the bedroom I found just one lonely roll on our bed. Upon closer inspection...
...I realized that no, Paul didn't leave it there for a late night snack {kidding, though how thoughtful that would have been!} No, our chunk-o-saurus dog was too full to eat the last roll and instead left it for later. When I started laughing and called Paul into the room to look at it she jumped on the bed and just stared as if to say "Sorry mom, I just couldn't eat the last one, but it still looks really tasty!" So, for the rest of the night our chunky monkey laid around looking like a kid who ate too much turkey on Thanksgiving.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We have many things to be thankful for this year and are glad we can spend our holidays surrounded by friends and family. Oh and Kayla, don't worry - I didn't delete you from Facebook for stalking us! :)
