tree!

 chris helped put up the tree this yr!  we all worked together.  i said to chris "smile im taking your pic" then joey slipped in and posed. ha

cute joey story.  the other day i was doing school withe the older 2 and i could hear this faint "help me please" i went searching for joey and found her in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet singing "can some one come help me please!  some one please wipe my bum!"
i burst out laughing and wiped her bum. she did say please

 

 LOVE this pic!

 joey helped decorate.  she really did!

 and i didnt stop them from helping

 ellie and nate too

 i watched.  and didnt move or change their decorating

 i like to call this "joey's spot"  hahahaha

 done!

 then joey danced and celebrated!

 i went out last night alone.  i just needed a few groceries and i really didnt want to take all the kids.  i was alone. there was an accident. i sat in traffic for 20 mins. alone. i put on lipstick. drank my coffee. alone.  normally one would be annoyed by this situation. not me.  i texted Chris that i would be late, i was stuck in traffic. i sat in silence. and enjoyed....

and came home to put joey to bed. she asked to go to bed around 6, she was not feeling well.  we've been letting ellie stay up later than joey. she loves it.  i came down to this bad game of spot it going on

ellie won. ha

chris was planning on going to the shop for the night. i asked him if he wanted to hang out with me, he chose me. ha.  we ended up watching this movie "hacksaw ridge" oh my word. it was really good, raw and totally eye opening about war.  im praying nate will not go to the military (sorry shawn) like he's planning....

and with that, i am ready for christmas...imm going very simple this yr....maybe i put up the garland....not sure yet.....well see!

happy saturday everyone!
