My husband has been gone since 6 AM Monday morning. He had to go to South Carolina for a class for work. He gets home tonight (weather permitting)--LATE! (Good thing I don't have to pick him up from the airport in the Citites...) The boys have missed him a LOT!!!! I have missed him, too. But I have survived the week as a single mom without killing or hurting my children in any way! I'm so proud of myself... *happy dance, happy dance*
Peanut has been in training pants for the past 2 weeks again because he relapsed into pooping in his pants. I told him he could have underwear again when he goes a week straight without pooping in his pants. He's on day 4 of 7! Yeah!
Monster has been excited about his BB gun. He got to get it with a gift certificate he won and his birthday money. He can't wait until this weekend: Daddy told him they would make a target, Daddy would help him shoot, and then Monster gets to try on his own! Wow. Time flew by... I remember being in the hospital with Monster, and now he's learning how to shoot. Seven years went by way too fast!
December is busy for me in that I need to make 6 Christmas presents, make Beadie angels, make 3 special Beadies for 3 special nieces, hopefully finish a beaded banner for Monster's teacher (if I don't finish this by Christmas, he can give it to her at the end of the year...), remake my husband's quilt, do Cub Scout stuff with the Pack, our Den, and Monster, and make Christmas cookies/desserts somewhere in there. On the calendar I don't have much written down, but the above will fill in where things aren't written...

pyramid and plate portions

27th: Monster has a Cub Scout Polar Activities day at L.E. Phillips Scout Reservation in Rice Lake,
registration starts at 9:15am---means getting up super early and being out the door by 7:30am---good
thing it's cold out so I can enjoy my coffee fully on the way up there...(trying to get hubby to come with
us, guess we'll see)
Sometime the end of the month: Hubby planning on going to Eastern WI and finishing Traci's bathroom and
bedroom projects
That's December's outlook. I'm sure more will show up as the month progresses, but until then, it is managable. Now, on to making cookies for hubby and boys.
