our busy week

Been another crazy week around here. November is starting off like all the other months so far. Last weekend after Halloween our friends Kati & Justin and little Tyler came over to watch some football. It was a fun evening of friends, pizza and football. Duck season has opened and of course Mark is in full swing for that. He left Thurs this week up to Iowa to hunt with his buddies. He's gone 'til Tuesday so my mom came down this weekend to help me with the girls. Of course Nina is easy and also a big help but always nice to have an extra set of hands to hold Julia while i take care of important things like showering, feeding the dogs, napping... ha ha I wish but no naps for me this weekend.


The best part of the weekend was the grand opening of Von Maur. Most of my friends know that I love this store. There are Von Maur's in Iowa and Nebraska so used to always shop there. The reason i love this store so much is because it has a no interest credit card. So you can shop, put it on the card and then pay the min balance each month w/o interest or any other fees. Like layaway but you get to take it home. So my mom and the girls and i head there first thing Sat morning. Did some good damage for Julia and Nina but by the time I was ready to shop for myself, the girls were ready to head out. So i guess i'll just have to go back. :)

Julia is just growing so fast. She has cut not only one but two teeth now. I can feel the ridges of her second bottom tooth already. She is just chewing on everything she can get a hold of too. I'm sure it all feels good on her gums.

Nina started basketball practice last week. This will be her 3rd season playing and she is all excited. Games are on Friday nights again though so not so exciting for us. ha ha Would be nice to have our Fridays back now that volleyball is over. But no such luck.
