We are still alive!
I can't believe that two weeks has gone by without a blog update. Sometimes I forget to take pictures of the things that we are doing and sometimes my phone pictures don't turn out that great. We have been busy living life.
It is amazing how a simple preschool schedule can make our week feel full. I went on a field trip with Ben's class last week. They went to a local Kroger and got to have a tour. Then, they shopped for ingredients for their Thanksgiving feast next week. Ben's teacher rode along with me and it was nice to get to know her a little better. He LOVES his teacher!
Yesterday was my birthday. Curt took a half day off of work and let me have a relaxing afternoon. I got to sit and read a book without any kid interruptions. That never happens anymore...at least not until both kids are in bed sleeping. :) We decided we didn't feel like going out to eat (it can be hard to keep Lucy happy and it always feels like we are rushing to get out of there). Instead, we got Casa to go and that was perfect! It is always nice to celebrate my birthday with my family.
We've been trying to get a lot of our Christmas shopping done online. It has worked pretty well so far. We have almost all of it done. I just need to wait for some packages to arrive and start all the wrapping. Shopping with both kids can cause me to break into a sweat these days. It's hard with Ben walking because he always tries to wander and look and things and I don't want to lose him. It stresses me out! I'm very thankful for technology and being able to shop for many things from my living room. :)
Next week will be a busy one with Thanksgiving, but we are thankful that we will be able to catch up with both of our families!

A picture before opening my presents.
Lucy thought she was big stuff sitting in her rocking chair this morning!
Such a sweet girl. She started standing my herself for a few seconds this week. I'm sure walking is right around the corner.
Ben loves his little sis!
