1. For the past 2 days Logan has not wanted to use the potty as much. Its upsetting but also we have not been at home as much. So I believe he is uncomfortable using other peoples potties. I just hope we don't end up taking steps back. I really will like steps forward. This also shows he is not ready for big boy undies (cloth). I am still very proud of him. He has used the potty at least three times for the past week!
2. We had a second and third Thanksgiving! I love spending time with my family as well as the Murphy family (in-laws but I don't like to call them that). For my family we did a simple Pizza Thanksgiving. For however long I can remember we have always done a full Thanksgiving dinner but this year it got changed up to pizza. It was nice to have something different and still see all my family! Then we went to the Murphy's and had a fantastic Turkey dinner! Second one for me! I love turkey dinner. I love the different ways everyone cooks. Plus I'm really glad I don't have to cook. Not yet at least. Maybe in a few years I will start the tradition at my own house but for now I don't mind going to my mom, my uncles and the Murphy's!
3. I am very disappointed in myself for my lack of picture taking lately! Seriously, I'm usually a photo happy person but lately I haven't taken many pictures. I'm not sure if its because my camera is so big to luge around or because I'm just unsure of what to take pictures of. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my camera. Its like an other baby to me. I just need to start taking it out more and take pictures!
Well that's it. For now!

Thanksgiving & Black Friday!
Can I say what an exhausting 2 days it has been?!
Waking up at 6:30am and not going to sleep till about 9:30pm, the next day is torture for anyone! That's about 39 hours of being awake, 3 hot teas with extra sugar & 1 coffee with a mound of sugar. I might have napped for an hour but it was nearly impossible with a 10 month old and 2 year old jumping on me. Adorable...yes.
Lets start with Thanksgiving. It was an easy day. Its always nice to have all of us sibling together. And honestly I'm sure my mom enjoys having all us kids plus our kids over at once. So lunch was fantastic.
Justin had work Thanksgiving night so I went out shopping with a few friends, meeting up with my mom and sister at random points.
Black Friday was such fun. I enjoy shopping all the time but there is this thrill when you do it on Black Friday plus all those sales. Who can resist sometimes!
So my night started around 8:30pm. I cheated and had a friend hold a spot in the Toys R Us line so I could put the boys to bed and make sure I got myself a nice hot tea! We got to Toys R Us and I was ready to go. Toys R Us opened at 10pm so it all worked out fantastically with all the other stores. I got everything I needed plus a couple extra essentials from Toys R Us. I must say Toys R Us had the best buys of the night! 2 for $35 formulas (about 62 oz!), High back toddler chairs for $15 (I got 2 of the Toy Story 3), and $10 for 82 diapers (I should have grabbed more than 1 box)! O and the free crayons & coloring book!!!
After Toys R Us I went to Walmart, which was a mad house! However I got some good buys! Buying more than I should have, spending more than I had but it was all good fun! Next was the fun of standing in line for a good 2 hours (my mom and sister were in line at 11:30) at Target for them to open at 4am!
Waiting for Target to open really wasn't so bad, it didn't seem cold either. My sister was waiting for the door buster TV. Her and my mom were pretty close to the door too. Well when the doors open it was a mad house and everyone went running for the TVs! They probably had about 30 of them. People were insane over grabbing them. I mean 250lb men jumping over women to grab one, people ripping them out of peoples hands, fighting over them. Finally when there were 2 left security came running over making people walk away. Luckily my sister got one! She deserves it so much! I went to Target for fun (just like Walmart). I really didn't need anything I just wanted to go. I ended up leaving and spending more than I should but I really believe it is all worth it!
I didn't get home till 6:30am, I napped probably for an hour and then the boys had a doctors appointment to get their second dose of the flu shot.
So I have to say the last 2 days have been pretty crazy! I am still exhausted. Thank goodness today I get to relax and sit around with the boys.
