Another busy week has come and gone. Mike even took his last vacation day last week so we had a day together without the children!! It felt almost naughty when we went out to Applebee's by ourselves. We are anxiously waiting for the couple of warmer days coming this week. There are a few outside jobs needing done before winter settles in. We had snow flakes on Friday, but nothing that stuck. We got home late Friday night from working at the apartment house, and when we got home I looked up at the sky and could not believe the number of stars out. I can not remember the last time I saw a sky so full of stars. It was just beautiful. I got a big jump start to my Christmas shopping on Wednesday when I met my mom and sister for a day of shopping- we did shop till we dropped. Everyone was exhausted when we wrapped up. I can hardly believe we are into Novemeber already, where does the time go?
