Cassie's Week in Review!

Well I am glad to say, that really nothing is new in the land of the boys. Oh except for less than a week after Justin got his shiner, Lucas ran in to the corner of the wall and had a HUGE bruise on his forehead. I guess they did not learn, to not run in the house.

We did run into some car issues this week. Robert noticed on Tuesday I think, that cord was showing on one of our tires. So he called around got a decent price on a new used tire, and we replaced the tire. Well he had a hunting trip planned for the weekend, we figured things out, and it would be tight, but he was still going to be able to go hunting after we replaced the tire. He got home, went in to the garage, comes out, and notices that ANOTHER tire was showing cord. So needless to say we had to relace that tire, and his hunting trip was cancelled.
He was disappointed, but what can you do?

So Saturday I had the Ladies Conference in Turner at Calvary, and had plans to ride to our church with my next door neighbor, and then we were going to ride the bus with the other ladies from our church. Well I get to my neighbors house, and her babysitter could not babysit. So my WONDERFUL husband babysat my neighbors two little girls, who are about the same age as Lucas and Justin. Rebecca and Justin are about six months a part, but Lucas and Rachel are only 1 month apart.
I had a GREAT time at the Ladies Conference, the speakers were fantastic, I got to meet some new people, I got to see Stacy and Mary, and it was just a great time. I learned a lot.

Yesterday was Old Fashioned day my church. None of us really had any old fashioned clothes, but I did do my hair super cute. Anyway... service in the morning, was so up beat, and the songs were really a lot of fun to sing. The service in the evening was earlier, because we had a party after in the school's gym. It was so much fun. Service was at 5:00 p.m. and we did not get home until 9:30 p.m. it was still going when we left, but the boy's were exhausted. I was in a three legged race with my neighbor, and Robert and I were in a couples contest. I am proud to say my neighbor and I came in first for the three legged race, and Robert and I tied for third place in the couples game.

I leave for Wisconsin a week from tomorrow, and to say I am excited would be a HUGE understatement! I can not wait to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are also excited to see John and Sarah when we get back from Wisconsin, and to meet our adorable nephew Grayson for the first time!

School is going well, I am averaging 98% right now, and I am hoping to finish a couple more lessons if not the class before I leave for Wisconsin!

Love you all!
Hugs,
Cassie

Halloween and my first week of school!

Well this week was a productive week, and kind of busy. Monday night Justin got his shiner, which has only progressivly looked worse through out the week. His preschool teacher thought he has make-up left on from Halloween. He is a trooper though. He is feeling and acting fine. I got my school books on Monday, and I started studying right away. I am going to be starting my 4th lesson, and I have recieved a 100% on my first three tests that I have taken. It's hard. Trying to balance being a mom, and making time for myself to study. I have to stay that all three of my boys have been very good about everything, and Robert especially is my biggest fan. He is cheering me on, all the way.
I have had a lot less idle time this week, for surfing the internet, emailing, and keeping up with my myspace. I feel better and more productive though.
In the end, I will be able to provide a better life style for my family, and that is my motivation.
Trick or treating was a HUGE success. Lucas was a little nut. There was no fear what so ever. He was running from house to house, screaming trick or treat! He caught on real quick that he got candy for looking cute and saying trick or treat.
So it was a good week all around. I am counting down the days until I go home.
WOOT!

That's about all. I am attaching a slide show, and a little video of Lucas saying trick or treat!
