Been a long time, been a long time, been a long time....

I just realized that I sit here and read everyone else's blog nearly every night but I can never seem to find the time to update mine. Or at least update mine with anything interesting. So here's what's been happening.

Reagan and McKinley have been very busy with school and sports. The first and third Monday of the month we have MOPS. Every Tuesday and Thursday night we have swim lessons. Every Sat morning we have a soccer game. (but that has ended as of this past Sat) Now, beginning, November 1st Reagan and McKinley will be playing tiny weenie basketball on Sat mornings. Yes can you imagine one of MY kids playing basketball...this should be a hoot!!! So between all of this and homework and attending two halloween parties this past weekend AND spending two weekends out of the last 4 weekends in Wisconsin with my parents, things have been CRAZY to say the least. Honestly, though, I sometimes prefer the hectic schedule...i like to keep myself and the kids busy.

Hmmmm..what else. My three legged dog is doing fantastic. The kids are finally unafraid of his 'stump' and we all laugh when we ask him to 'shake' and he tries to shake with this little 'stump'. actually it's kind of sad.

Fall has finally arrived here in IL this week. Its so nice to see the leaves change and get to wear jeans and long sleeves. The biggest issue I'm having is how to get Mckinley out of Crocs. The girl doesn't care how cold it is she still wants to wear them....with no socks, nontheless. What can ya do...the girl lives for comfort.

I'm almost finished Christmas shopping for the girls. I know...crazy but we've decided to cut way back this year therefore shopping was a breeze since I already knew what I wanted to get them and have been watching sales. Now, i just have to shop for everyone else but i have plenty of time for that.

Erich got a Playstation 3 for this birthday this month. Let's just say he hasnt been sleeping much or watching tv. I usually find him sound asleep on the couch with a remote in his hand. Sigh.

As for me...nada mucho is goin on. I'm looking forward to a trip to St Louis next week with a friend of mine, Nikki. We decided to take a day and go shopping for ourselves...should be alot of fun. (i've never been to st louis) busy busy busy being a minivan soccer, swim, basketball, ymca, school and scrapbooking momma.

i'll try to get some photos up this week.
but don't hold your breath.
