November 1, 2002

I am so happy that November is here and that the holidays will be here. I LOVE Thanksgiving and can't wait for it to be here. I love the falling leaves and the crisp air. I just get a warm feeling when I think of fall/November! :O)

~*~*Alecs Halloween~*~*
Alec looked so adorable in his Yoda Costume for Halloween and every single person we came across commented on how adorable Alec looked. Joe and I were beaming with pride of course! :o) I woke Alec up from his nap around 3:30 and he was little cranky. I tried to give him something to drink and a snack while I got him ready but he still seemed so irritable. When I put his Yoda ears on he did not try to take them off, however he did moan and belly ache at me about it. After I got all the green face paint on and he was put together I took him to the bathroom so he could see himself. He took one look at himself and started to cry. I felt so bad for him but it was so hard not to laugh because he looked so darn cute. We waited for Joe to come home from work and met him outside so we could drive over to my moms house. ( a yearly tradition) Of course I forgot the camera so I sent my dad out to get film while we went trick or treating. It was so cold outside that after a couple houses I felt Alecs hands and they were FREEZING!!! I forgot to being gloves and even though he was bundled up in his winter coat he was still cold. I took him back to my moms house while Joe finished up with the older two. When I brought him inside his hands hurt him and he was crying. My mother and I ran them under warm water and then wrapped warm towels around his little hands. After about 15 minutes he was better and running around all over. I could not stop laughing at him and we got some really good pictures… well at least I hope they turn out good! :o)

~*~*Clingy~*~*
Alec seems to be going through a clingy stage right now and I have to say that I am getting a little frustrated with it. He has been such a mild mannered laid back child up until now. He gets upset when I leave him and I had to take him with me to my last Creative Memories workshop I had at my moms because he got himself so worked up when I went to leave him with my BIL and his girlfriend. :o( I hope this is just a stage he is going through. The only time he did not have a problem is when I left him in his preschool class at church!

~*~*~Back to Church~*~*
Last Sunday we went back to church and I was so happy we did. I have been beating myself up about blowing off church every Sunday and I was determined to get us up and ready…and I did it! We even got there early and it was a wonderful service. Jt was in his first grade class for the first time and had a great time. His teacher from last year was his teacher again and she was happy to see him back. Alec moved up from the Nursery to the 2 year old preschool class and he seemed to have a great time.
Going back to church kind of kicked my butt back into gear with doing daily devotions with the kids and listening more to Christian music again. I was getting out of the routine of things and my relationship with the Lord was slipping. I am happy to say I am slowly getting back on track! :O)






~*~*~Ugh….$$$$$$ ~*~*~
I have a new daycare child starting up on November 11th. She is Autumns age and will only be here 3 days a week. It will help with extra money and that is something we really need right now. We try so hard not to get behind and no matter what we do we are always falling short some place. We try so hard to be happy with what we have and put our trust in the Lords hands but there are times we just get so frustrated. All we want is bigger home with a basement. That’s all… We can’t seem to save and pay of bills to get ahead so we can do that. I have tried to cut corners in every way I can but it still is not enough. Ugh/ Why is money so…… Oh I don’t know… Money is just :oP
