Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving break! My Dad came up from Texas, made us lots of yummy food, played with the kids, went crazy shopping with me, and more!!

Random kid fun!

The boys had their pictures taken at school and they turned out pretty good! The girls and I went to Platte City for a swim meet and had a blast. Megan did a great job and swam hard, she made district times for the 50 back and 50 fly and loved being back in competition mode! Emily was great and went with the flow, shes also now really excited about swim lessons next month because shes itching to be on the swim team with Megan!

Happy Halloween!!!

WI Trip

Megan begged us to take her to WI again to participate in tbe National Cross Country meet in Mequon WI. Michael stayed with the boys and I took the girls. What I didn't realize is that the trip was 9 hours there and 9 hours back. The girls did amazing and we had a great trip. I don't think I'll be doing a solo trip anytime soon though, it was rough! I decided to stay another night because driving until 3am just didn't seem like a good idea. We got lucky and found a cheap hotel with a pool, walmart had $2 clearance swimsuits, and free breakfast! We also had the great luck to have the fire alarms go off. Luckily I was out of the shower and it was someone who burned popcorn, still a bit unnerving right before bedtime!!
