What's new in our world...

It's been an interesting week - to put things mildly! Sometimes, there are alot of things that you can do without as a parent! Honestly - life would be easier :) Maybe not as exciting - but easier! We have had alot of conversation regarding Ukraine this week, some with really good memories about what we were doing two years ago, and some conversations about a current event going on that affects us directly. I have a friend in Ukraine who shared some news with us that really tugged at our heart and has made a major impact on alot of things this week. We are hoping that we are going to receive some divine intervention to help us with some of this news... it is hard to make some choices and decisions when the persons you are dealing with are 5000 miles away. Needless to say, certain people in Ukraine have been in our prayers this week.

Friday night the hubby had to take Big Al to the ER... nothing too thrilling, as we have to do this once or twice a year as apparently when you eat too much paper, glue and erasers, you tend to get blocked up... he was fine about an hour after getting home.
Saturday, we spent some time outside getting stuff done and enjoying the sunshine...
Sunday, the hubby and I went to Yakima to get some early "elf work" done. We hardly got anything, we just were not in the shopping mood!
Monday, another half day for the boys being parent-teacher conferences. The boys had some friends over after school, and acted like a couple of spastics... I don't get WHY my boys feel that they have to act out so much when other kids come over... sigh....
Tuesday, the boys had school and then we all headed up to the dentist for their 6 month check ups.. 2 without any cavities.. and Big Al, the dentist wants to see back to pull a couple of permanent teeth (cha-ching)... another sigh.... I need to find a day when the hubby can take him - I am so not up for another tooth drama with him! After the dentist, we headed back to town to do our parent-teacher conferences. There was some good improvement, and well, some areas that could stand a major makeover!
And finally to today! Since it is my birthday (I won't tell you which one) the hubby gets to take me out to dinner for Mexican... I'll get to wear the big sombero and have a shot of tequila! Well, I'll probably have to bypass the shot and go with the fried ice cream so the kids can share...oh well!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
