Happy Halloween!

Guess what we did this weekend? Yep, carved pumpkins today. The boys each got to pick their pumpkin and the face. Ryker's is the little one and Xander's is the big one. Stay tuned for their Halloween custumes.

I also made an apple pie (first time ever). It's soooo good. And banana bread. Can you tell that I had a bunch of fruit I needed to get rid of?

H-Sorry the picture doesn't show it well but I ended up getting red added into the brown and blonde I had already. It looks really quite nice.

Relaxation

I took a vacation day today because I wanted a day for my brain to unwind and the stress of the last couple of weeks to go away.
So here's the agenda for my day of relaxation (no stress allowed!):

• Catch up on blogs, email and facebook. (check)
• Go shopping for new black leather boots
• Buy Ryker a winter coat
• Get my hair cut
• Color my hair because I need something new

I like the list. Looks manageable and there is nothing on it to overtax my poor tired little brain. If I have time left over maybe I'll watch some Days of Our Lives or start reading Wicked. But I don't want to do too much. Maybe I'll just take a nap since it is so gloomy. =)

Yeah, it's been one of those weeks (and it's only Tuesday). Xander got sent home yesterday morning because of runny poo. He was fine the rest of the day. Ryker got sent home today with a fever. We took him in just in case it was an infection from the surgery but it looks like its just a cold bug. Regardless, he can't go in to daycare tomorrow.
Jason's swamped at work and I'm supposed to be leaving for a conference tomorrow...

The Ryker Update

Sorry for the delay in this. Ryker had his adenoids removed and new ear tubes put in Thursday. He handled it really very well. (Better than me, I think the nurses wanted to sedate me). He is pretty ticked off about not being able to eat what he wants and really doesn't like his pain medication but overall he's getting back to his normal little self. It's been a rough week though because he doesn't feel the best and has been really whiney. And we all know how well Jason and I handle whining.

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts, prayers and support. It means alot to us.
