Strong, or just strong willed?!

Just had to share something funny Addie said tonight...as we were about to say family prayer, I asked Addie to come join us so we could say a prayer that we will be protected tonight (Drew's been having issues with being afraid at night). Addie said, "Mommy, I'm stwong. I don't need to be pweetected. You can say it wichout me." She's probably right...she could scare away anything that came after her!

Fitness log...5 weeks

I'm not doing very good with my fitness blogging! I'm still going strong though and feel like I'm making progress even though I was up 2 pounds this week (maybe it's all muscle! Ha!). I have a feeling it was a combination of the jar of homemade raspberry jam I got from Julie Gatherum (which is now gone) and a little trunk-or-treat candy. Luckily I can't eat chocolate or I would have been in real trouble! I did a KILLER leg workout with my trainer this week. I've never been so jello-legged! I need to take measurements again - but my tape measure is missing (Addison!)...so later I guess!

Off to "Trunk-or-Treat"!

Here they are...Drew the pirate and Addie the princess (I didn't pose her, by the way - Miss Priss did that all by herself)! I think Drew looks like "Sportacus" if any of you know who that is (from "Lazytown")! We didn't quite get around to Noah - he was probably too cranky to play along anyway! I'll post more pictures after "real" Halloween!

Brilliant!

So - if you haven't heard already, Wade left for London tonight for a 3 week test run on an opportunity to transfer there for a couple of years. We're honestly pretty excited about the possibility of living overseas for a while - and it's now or never before the kids are too big to drag away from friends and school. There's a lot that has to transpire before this becomes a reality - but I'd say we have about a 50/50% chance of being in the UK sooner than later. Hopefully there will be more details to come over the next 3 weeks. This all happened VERY suddenly and we still don't really know all that much. We just found out Wade was heading to London on Wednesday! For now though, I'll be focusing on the goal at hand...not going insane as a single parent between now and Thanksgiving when Wade gets back! Actually, my mom is coming to my rescue and will be here for about 2 of the 3 weeks. Got to love moms!

The Annual Picture...

We went and had the annual photo of the kids taken this week. What a fiasco - between a few choice Addi-tude moments and Noah pooping up his back - I can't believe we scored this shot! Good times!
