We took the girls to see Santa tonight. Aly was so excited to see Santa and to give him her wish list, a scooter! Ashley was a little afraid, so we all got to sit on Santa's lap.

Practicing...
I am practicing. Practicing for what you might ask? I am officially off work until November 26th so I will be "practicing" being a stay at home mom for the next week. Yea! The girls and I have big plans. We are going to do "girl stuff" as Aly calls it. We have plans to build a gingerbread house, go see the movie "Enchanted", sleep in, cooks meals, paint nails, dress up... the list goes on. Stay tuned for some cute pics of our upcoming week.

In The Lou
So it's been almost a week since I posted and I am sure I am about to get harrassed! I am sitting in my hotel room at the Hilton Ballpark in the Lou (St. Louis that is). I am at a Heart Walk Conference for work. We had a full day of meetings and then we hit The Melting Pot for dinner. I never pass up an opportunity to come the The Melting Pot, yum yum!
Corey and the girls are back in Columbia (holding down the fort). I'll be home tomorrow evening. I'm glad our meeting was in the Lou this time because it's not too far from home, well home for now that is...stay tuned if you have no clue what I am talking about when I say "home for now"!
I talked with Aly tonight, our conversation went like this:
Aly: Mommy, when are you coming home?
Jenn: Tomorrow night, after dance class
Aly: But Mom, it's taking forever! I'm sleeping on your side tonight (Corey's letting Aly sleep with him, I told him to put her in bed with him because it would help him sleep better and she will think it's super cool).
I talked with Ash too but all she had to say was "Oh Mann" (that's what Swiper the Fox says).
So that's it for this Wednesday, can't wait to get home to my family. Ciao!

Halloween
So I am sure there are some of you who would like to know how our Halloween went so here goes. Our church had a Fall Harvest Party, the girls had tons of fun. Aly & Ashley both won the costume contest for their age category. Ashley ate so much candy last night, I just kept giving her more to keep her occuppied (and in a good mood). As you can see from the last picture she is coming down from her sugar rush and is about ready to go home. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
