November

 Another blog that just takes care of one month.  Since I know that you my few readers would like me to get to more current things.

So in November my husband invited us to his works Open house to come check out the new building that they had moved to.  It made us a little sad to have him work further away because he used to come home for an hour during lunch and spend time with us in the middle of the day.  We were spoiled and we loved it.  But that time is over since gas would make that not a practical option all the time.   Yes we could move closer; however, it is not what we feel is right for us.  However it was fun for the kids and I to see the nice new building with lots more room and a much better situation for them to grow.  We had fun seeing Grandpa come check it out as well.  My husband loves the company he works for and believes in their product.  He is so excited for this change and loves to involve anyone he can in what they feel is a great opportunity for them.  The coworker in charge of food and doing most of the arrangements did a fantastic job and the food was amazing.

 Just a couple fun pictures of me with the girls.  My oldest loves having only girl.

 Also now that my husbands arm had healed enough he finished our fence.  Even the picket fence in the front yard.  It looks so nice to have no holes in any fence line we have.

 

This was our dog for one month.  We adopted him right before Halloween and loved him.  It was the hardest decision to let him go.  I had been thinking about a dog for a while.  I knew what my husband wanted should we get one and he was the perfect dog for us.  Except I am allergic to him and we have a small house and no garage.  It gets too cold in the winter here and when everything was weighed in the balance an amazing dog like this deserved a home where he could be warm and comfortable without any resentment from his owner over something he had no control over.  It broke our hearts and my son thought he had a brother in this dog.  We felt he belonged in our family.  We were not able to take him back to a shelter.  That seemed cruel and we didn't want just anyone to adopt him so we talked to our friends and family and found him a home with someone who loves him has no allergies to him and can take care of him.  We miss him so much and I still feel like a failure as a mother and human being for having to give him away.  A hard decision I never thought I would have to make.

Mommy/daughter date party

One friend that lives close by planned a Mommy daughter date night. We did all the girly things. Hair, nails, jewelry, food and watched Tangled. My friend did so much work to make this a fun night. I am amazed at her talents. Mostly the ability to plan a fun night for a bunch of little girls and mommies alike. She even decorated her home really cute for this as well. All we had to do was bring a treat to share.

When we walked in this is what we saw. She had made huge tissue flowers and hung them from her ceiling. It was very pretty.

Then she had stations here is how she set up the nail station.

These are the silk flower hair clips and ponytail holders she made. She said that she stayed up till 1 in the morning making these. She is amazing.

My little girl eating some food while I did her hair. She enjoyed her cucumber sandwich and her chips and salsa.

Once she was done eating she got to do my hair. She used the detangler in my hair. Ok well one spot of my hair was soaked. But she felt so big doing it.

Then we did each others nails. I let her do some stickers and clear nail polish on me.

Here she is making a bracelet for me. I wore it the next day to church which made her very happy.

All the little girls brought their favorite pillow to use while watching a movie. It was a large pillow pet farm. All the moms had a good laugh.

Here we are at the end of the night. I think she had fun. She is wearing the necklace and bracelet I made for her. And I am wearing her bracelet she made for me, although you can only see a few beads. I love this girl.
