Ten On Tuesday

1. So what do we do when it rains a lot and my super active kids are stuck inside? We go outside and play in the rain!!

Kayley was in a weird mood

2. Kayley was picked out of all the kids in her class for the kindness award this month. Funny how you can't actually see the award. Oh well.

3. After a week of being very sick I'm finally feeling better. Thank goodness for an office that didn't send me home even when I needed to be there!

4. We are all very excited for Christmas! Our family has been blessed by some strangers who gave us gift cards to Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon.com! I'm blown away by their generosity! We were able to buy the kids' birthday presents already!

5. Cole dropped the remote down the side of the couch. Then he got stuck. And, like all loving parents do, I snapped a photo before pulling him out.

6. I must admit I'm enjoying all this rain!

7. I love Kayley being on break. I wish I were home with her, though!

8. There comes a time when you don't worry about what your kids wear anymore. When they're little it's all about them dressing cute. Then they start fighting it and sometimes I'm willing to force them to be stylish, sometimes I'm not. So when Tyler and Kayley went out last night (in the rain) and Kayley was wearing a red Christmas shirt, brown bermuda shorts and her Hello Kitty rainboots I really didn't care. Judge me if you must. Just wait till your kids are six.

9. Things are in full tax season prep mode at work.

10. My oven will only heat to 205 degrees. Try cookin' up something in that. Last night our enchiladas ended up being microwaved.
