Update!

Hello Readers, Family & Friends!

It is 7:39 and we have both boys in bed! They were up early and were ready! AHHHH - a little time by ourselves!

Last week was a crazy, crazy week. Rob worked in St. Charles every day but Friday - leaving in the morning at 4:00 am and coming home at 9:00-9:30 - overtime is great but there is a limit to that, too! Rob has been really, really tired, but doesn't complain.

I took the boys to see Sesame Street on Wednesday evening...yes, by myself! Matthew & Jacob were absolutely on their best behavior! They loved it (I had taken Matthew several years ago - I guess when he was about 2) - both of them were dancing in the isle and having a blast. Jacob just LOVES Elmo right now.

Thursday morning was Mother's Day Out - I just stayed home and cleaned our bedrooms! It's such a nice feeling at the end of the day to know that you have accomplished SOMETHING!!

We had Jacob's 2nd Birthday party at Pioneer Orchard on Saturday. We had a great time...hoping everyone else did as well. We all took a ride thru the pumpkin patch & apple orchard, picked pumpkins, fed the goats, enjoyed some apple cider, and then roasted hot dogs by the fire. It turned out to be a nice day, weather-wise - can't ask for more than that!

Sunday was quite the opposite - rain pretty much all day. Went to church, out to eat at Applebees, and then came home for a while. We then went to AWANA - Matthew is in Cubbies, and Rob & I volunteer. The power was still out from the morning so it was cancelled. Rob decided to treat us then to ice cream at the new DQ - it was soooo yummy! An evening trip out to the farm and the day was perfect!

Well, I'm off to ALMOST finish some scrapbook pages for a swap that is due next weekend - it's going to be fun!

Have an AWESOME week, everyone!
