couple things

*Time is just FLYING!  All of last week is a blur!  Seriously!  I need to s-l-o-w down a bit.  Do you know that we went to Disneyland the middle of September and I haven't even LOOKED through the pictures I took!!!!  Now that is just SAD!  I almost forgot my password to check on to my own blog... because it has been so long since I have written anything!     --I will never catch up.--    Maybe if I just make peace with that, I can quit feeling behind.   NEVERTHELESS...  a couple things tonight, so I will not forget these precious days!

*Fall Break is this week.  Yep, a week off of school.  I personally am looking forward to NOT getting up at 5:30 am to get Riley off to seminary.  --I was really excited until Riley told me his football practice schedule.  7-10 am, which means we leave at 6:30AM!  Ugh, oh well... too good to be true! 

*During fall break, Preston will be studying the location of each state in our Grand United States of America.  He had a test the day before break and did not do so hot!  His teacher called me and said he could take it again the Monday after break and average the 2 grades.  He just needs to spend some time.  --Another fall break agenda item... Preston and Wyatt need new Sunday pants, and Brenna needs new Sunday shoes... in a bad way.  Items that are essential this week!

*Tonight Bryant came upsatirs to ask me for a snack.  I was in the middle of something and asked him to ask dad (Vince was downstairs).  After a few more minutes of whining and asking for me to pu-lease make him a snack...  I said, "Bryant, why do you want ME to do it?"   He then looked me square in the face and with puppy dog eyes said, " Because you are my Best Friend!"   Ahhhhhh!  Of course I will make you a snack, best friend!!  :)

*Vince is giving the kids PPI's tonight.  My parents did this when I was young.  Kind of a "how are things going"  interview.  Both my parents sat down with us individually and chatted for a bit.  We could ask questions, talk about what was important to us, anything really.  Well, I was thrilled when Vince wanted to do this.  But...  he wanted to do it by himself.  I'm not invited.  What?  He thought the kids would be more comfortable with only one parent.  He also doesn't get as much one on one time, so this will be his "thing".  I'm glad.  I'm glad he will fill me in later, I'm glad he gets to have this time with the kids.  I'm really glad our kids have such a loving dad who wants to spend time with them and cares about each one individually.  We are all lucky!
