What's been up

I sort of got lost there for a bit. I spent the last two weeks of October in training at work until 2AM for a new Reservations System. Now that I am done, I look back on that time as a blur. I was a walking zombie. Seriously, the kids would ask something of me, and I'd be all, "HUH?" I got a bunch of frozen meals for them to eat like Stouffers Lasagna, because even when I was awake during the day, I wasn't really "all there" to deal with things like dinner and Carpool. Ken stepped in a lot and took over for me, thank you Ken.

I've been busy collecting more books I hardly have time to read, lol! I discovered the Orem Library puts all new books out for their book sale the 1st day of the month, and have gone back both days to "collect" books. Then there's always paperbackswap and swaptree where I swap out my old books for new ones on my wish list. Here's my most recent new stack:


As for the kids, Zane has been as crazy as ever. I can't say enough how much I love still having a 3 year old "baby" around. The oldest children you can't wait for them to grow up. But the youngest ones, you just ENJOY to the fullest.

If you look real close you can see where the boys have their little leaf "nest"


Then, just for fun, my most recent acquisitions.
A picture frame from Rodworks, yeah, ignore the 2 girls in the picture, I haven't found the perfect 5x7 to put in there:

And then, you know when you find something you just LOVE, and you HAVE to have it. I saw an ad for the store Tuesday Morning that they had the Autumn Leaves line in, and I just had to go check it out. The girls at Archivers know how much I LOVE this paper line, see, I even have this organizer made with the paper in my office/scrapbook room. (made at Archivers)

So, when they had this tote, I had to get it....

and this one, because you never know when you might want a smaller bag with a little bit of wicker:

and then this one, what if you just want black and white, no red!

And guess what, they were all no more than $8.00 each.

Coming up next, pictures from our vacation to Cali, Vivian's birthday and more happenings from October.
