!!!GASP!!

I know, you are astounded! A New Post!
Sometimes, life just gets in the way of what I want to do.

The 4th Annual Toilet Bowl Football Game
We play with a roll of modified toilet paper. Everyone can catch it and we have fun.
This is the month of birthday's
Our dog, Buddy turned 12!

The November Birthday Boys



Nathan turned 10




Josh..16!!!
He also, earned his Eagle Scout!
So much has been going on. My term ends Nov. 30.
I failed my science test again! Oops!
I turned in 2, 10 page science papers.
With 2 powerpoint Presentations! I have passed 3 of the 4
I am just waiting for the results of paper #4 .
We had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Not without some arguing and sadness
(such is the life of our children)
The toliet Bowl this year was a little chilly. We played later than usual.
everyone is plugging along.
Saw some really cool deals for Black Friday but, I refuse to go out
shopping for them. I should (cause I would save a ton but...)
All of the 3 teens are going to Sadie Hawkins Dance this year.
That is exciting for me. (Josh's first date)
Kodey is doing well work and school.
All of the kids had great reports from SEP's (parent teacher conferences)
They are all doing well.
That is about all for now. Hopefully, things will slow down
and I will be able to blog more often.

In between being busy with school, work, volleyball and other things, John and I managed a little trip that was fantastic. We had such a good time! then, it was back to work and the fun that comes with Halloween. I have been a little behind in posting. UGH! Life just got in the way a little bit. So here is the last month with the Thill's...
