Bragging Rights
Just so you know, the firefighters won the Battle of the Badges boxing matches last night. There were 11 fights and the score was 8 to 3. I'm trying to convince John to fight next year, so we'll see if he agrees.
GO FIREFIGHTERS!! :)

Wahoo For Saturday
I love Saturdays! Today is especially nice--I just opened all the windows to air out the house and lit a cinnamon candle for extra "fall effect." It's so blustery out there, and it's awesome!
Just a small update on Christian: we scheduled an appointment with an ENT for Oct. 7th (Tues), so let's all just hope and pray he can give us better insight into what we are actually dealing with here. Christian then goes back to the pediatrician on Oct. 8th to see if the steroids and Zyrtec have made a difference. I've noticed his tonsils have shrunk back a little, but that's not saying much being as they were so swollen that they were basically sitting on his tongue. John and I are not pro-removal, in that we believe the tonsils and adenoids are there for a reason and surgery should be the very last resort. BUT, we are open to all options, and if they need to come out so be it. I've heard story after story lately about what a huge difference it has made in the lives of other children suffering from the same swollen tonsils/adenoids. It's both encouraging and scary at the same time--no parent wants to see their child in pain or have to have surgery.
John and I are planning a date night tonight. I don't know how many have heard about this, but there is a boxing match at 7pm called Battle of the Badges. It's firefighters against police officers, and it's bound to be entertaining. A friend of ours that works for AFD and works out at the gym around the same time we do is fighting in this, so we thought we'd go out and show our support. All proceeds from the fight go to a fund for wounded/fallen firefighters and police officers and their families. Nothing like watching guys pummel each other in the name of a good cause! haha
October is shaping up to be a buuuuuuusy month for us. There are 3 parties in our near future, as well as the regular everyday humdrum. Ooooohhhh yeah--my darling little brother, Josh, is coming to visit this next weekend, along with a large group of other relatives. The occasion is my grandma's birthday party, and we couldn't be more excited! Watch for pics!
Everyone have a wonderful, spectacular, exciting weekend! I hear it's only supposed to get up to 65 deg. tomorrow---watch out, here comes fall!

Friday Fess Ups
I swear I am not a Targetaholic. I haven't been back since last Friday, and I certainly haven't tried to find an excuse every other day to go browse the amazing, wonderful, awesome clearance aisles. Ahhhhhh.....clearance aisles.....
I don't spend so much time on the computer that my thighs are red and semi-burned by the evening time from the hot laptop sitting on them.
I certainly didn't drive over 80 miles (and that's in town driving) in one day. After all, gas is way too expensive to be running that many errands and dropping off/picking up children from schools on the complete opposite side of town.
What's that? Did someone say Target clearance? Hmmm....must be hearing things.
My children most certainly have not had pancakes every morning this week for breakfast. I'm a health nut and wouldn't allow something like that.
I have not ignored the fact that the downstairs toilet is extremely dirty. Caroline didn't use too much toilet paper, thus leading to a backup in the potty. That doesn't explain the nice ring of yucky that's obvious each time you raise the lid. Bleh
My half of the closet is not color coordinated....and size/style arranged. It doesn't drive me absolutely bonkers that John's half looks like a tornado blew through. We are trying to sell this house---and we make sure to keep everything perfect at all times. No room for messiness here.
I am certainly not ignoring the large (and growing) pile of embroidery and sewing projects I have waiting for me on the sewing table. I am not feeling burned out a bit.
Ok, now I most certainly did not get grumpy and frustrated while trying to help Caitlin with her homework last night (the darn assignment made no sense whatsoever) and tell her to just wait until Daddy comes home to help her, being as he helped her do something very similar Monday night anyway. He's the expert in science after all.
Caroline IS NOT turning 2 in exactly 1 month. I haven't been putting off birthday party planning simply because I'm in denial about her actually being that old. Really, no denial here....

She Loves Pictures
Caroline Sunshine will pose for me anytime, anywhere, and in any way--such a ham!
Can you believe she will be 2 in a month?!? Yikes....

The Lost Video
I was searching through pictures on the computer tonight, when I stumbled upon this video I took of Christian and Caroline eating lunch. It's a hoot--Christian especially. It was taken on July 23rd of this year, and I can't believe how much they've changed in such a short time. Without further adieu....
