Hello everyone! Here's our (Olivia's) new addition. The poor kitty is named Stacy, and it's a boy but if you ask Olivia it's a girl and there's no two ways about it. On further review, it is a boy, so it will remained confused the rest of it's life.........

Well here we are into Nov. already. Black Friday ads being posted, turkey advertised in the local flyer, and i'm so far behind on doing stuff, I need it to be August all over again!! LOL I have started making "wish lists" for the kids on what I think santa should bring, Olivia's list in front and back of a notebook sheet and her comment to me when I said "maybe you should trim that down a little and possibly take the laptop(yes a laptop) off of it" was..........well, santa is magical and they make stuff at the North Pole, so it shouldn't be a problem! Yikes, who created this "i've thought ever possible answer out in the world" child!! Somebody needs to inform her that Mrs. Clause stays at home with her children(elves) so they don't have to go to a babysitter and Santa, well he can only work so many hrs. in a week. (note to self).............

We had teacher/parent conference last week and of course it's the same ol' thing, she's doing great and I'm very proud of her for that. I have noticed something through the yrs. now and since we have 3yrs. in now, I have other yrs. to compare too. Every teacher she has had (3 now, well 4 if you count preschool) has picked up on her incredible creative talent she has. Now as a mother, of course i see it, but to have 4 teachers pick up on it and bring it to your attention, that says something. It says she expresses it not only at home, and the teacher is paying enough attention to pick up on it and let her express herself in school which now a days is a bonus.........

On a lighter note: Looking to trade a 2yo. male for a 5yo., potty trained male and in full time kindergarten............that sums up what Logan has been up to these days!!!!!!!!
