Leaves

LOVED all the sweet comments and emails about getting everything done.  This was definitely a week FILLED with things to do.  My brother and his wife have been here working on a job for us.  We have had plenty of Halloween "busy-ness", soccer season was drawing to a close as basketball practices started this week, and three of my kids had field trips. 

On Friday I went and enjoyed a morning of basketball with friends.  I left a little early to do a magic show for Ashley's preschool class.  I LOVED their expressions of shock and awe.  I then ran and picked the other kids up early since they had a half day.  When I got home I realized that Stephen had a web cam conference that DOES NOT mix well with six kids running around SOOOO I headed to the park to let them play in the leaves, enjoy the beautiful weather, AND to let me escape and play with my camera a little.  Of course it didn't last too long because there were practices, Jazz class and play dates to run to. 

YES, life will never slow down and I will always be trying to catch up, BUT I WILL take the time to soak in every little sweet moment that I can ...

      

AND, this last one is to show off Kaylee's new teeth without braces.  Now to make sure she wears her retainer every night....
