Okay, so I got a call from my Dad who lives in North Dakota. Apparently him and my step-mom Charlene have a week vacation that they HAVE to use. Guess how they chose to spend it??? Yup, they are coming to see us. We've lived here over five years now and this will be the second time they've come out. It will also be the second time that they have seen their grandchildren. They fly in on the 14th and fly out on the 21st. A whole week with them. And the best part is that Josh is taking most of that time off of work. That never happens but this time it just happened to work out perfectly.
I'm soooo excited about them coming out. I swear these holidays are going to ROCK. And I mean that seriously. Besides them coming out we get to have Nana and Papa and Jeremy and Rachael out for christmas and new years. And my Christmas shopping is almost done. It doesn't get any better I swear!
This has definitely been a strange week. The kitty is still very sick. We thought we were going to lose him a few nights ago. He's doing a little better but still sicky. I went canning on wed and feel sooo much better now. Why does that do that for me? I feel so refreshed when I leave there. Josh and I sat down the other night and discussed some money and planning things and I feel much better after that too. This weekend is going to be spent fall cleaning and sadly I'm excited about that. Yes, I am strange. I went major meat shopping this week and saved a bundle on meat that was on ad. The freezer is filled with meat to last the next few months. I hate paying full price. And this way with all the family coming to visit I will be prepared for dinners. Woo Hooo me!
Today both the kids are home. It's a state holiday in Nevada, Nevada Day (I still don't know why!). But it is nice to have them home. We are going to run some errands (chicken thighs are on sale today) and go out for lunch. After that more errands and then getting ready for trunk r treat at church. It' going to be a good day I hope. At least the kids are super excited.

You're almost DONE with Christmas shopping?! I'm thoroughly jealous. I just spent yesterday figuring out what I'm going to do for everyone. Granted, I do have most of the kids already taken care of. Plus I've got to wait until Thanksgiving to find out the results of the name draw for my mom's side, but hopefully I'll be done with everyone by beginning of December.
I'm counting down the days until we get to come out (1 month 3 weeks 4 days!) and I'm just stoked beyond belief.
I'm glad that your dad is coming out to spend a whole week with you, that should be really fun for everyone!!
And I know exactly what you mean about the meat-- we got about 75 pounds of ground beef for free when a Costco had a fire in their freezer and had to get rid of everything and Jeremy's company was the dump service they called. The meat was all still 100% perfect! Definitely a blessing for us.
Hope Mr. Bolt feels better and the kids enjoy their day off!!!
