Weekends Go By Way Too Fast!!

It's Sunday evening and the weekend is coming to a close.

Jeff was home this weekend, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday!
As most of you know, that NEVER happens! He negotiated something with his boss, so that he could be home for the weekend. It was so nice! Friday we cleaned house ran some errands...pretty laid back. Saturday we hired a sitter and went out for dinner!
It was a nice time, with the exception of a very bad headache I can't seem to get rid of! Then today we had our friends over for a football party...always a great time to be with our friends!
They say 'friends are the family you choose' and I can certainly testify to that! We have found some of the best friends and they have truly become our family away from family, our home away from home! Thank God for good friends!

Jeff will be working Thanksgiving for the first time ever...which stinks!
But our friends are adopting the boys and I into their family for the day, so sweet of them! This will be the second year we will spend Thanksgiving with out Jeff, since Jeff went home to Vegas last year. Poor Jack has yet to have a Thanksgiving with his Daddy! So sad!
But, things could always be worse...at least he'll be home in the evening. He could be overseas like so many of our service men and women! He could be with out a job at all!! So, we try to remain positive and grateful for what we DO have!! That is after all, what Thanksgiving is all about, right!?

Here's a funny tidbit to close with:
This morning, after our showers...I was cleaning out the boys ears...and as I was cleaning Austin's ears, Jeff walked by and said "whatcha got growing in their, potatoes?!" I could see Austin thinking about it, and then he looked up at me...so serious like and said, "Mom, I think I have some carrotts in there,.....or maybe some mushrooms!" He seemed awfully concerned! HA, ha! I couldn't stop laughing!
