1. I confess that I miss toys being all around the house. Last week I went down into our crawl space to get some of my Halloween decorations out and saw all of the big toys that I couldn't seem to part with. There was Ry's rocking horse, race tracks, and totes full Rescue Hero's. Then there was Ky's 3 piece kitchen, vanity, tons of Care Bears and the doll house that my father-in-law built for her...7 years ago. It was another reminder that my kids are growing up too quickly...which makes me sad. I can remember being so frustrated at the huge mess they would always make. Now, if I could, I would go back and simply enjoy watching and listening to them play.
I should probably go through it and either sale it on THE SUPER FABULOUS KSL.COM, have a giant yard sale, or just give it away....but I just can't bring myself to do it. It was hard enough when I gave Susie my crib when she was due with Bodee. Which, BTW, is still in perfect condition even after 4 kids!
2. I confess that I love the cooler fall weather we are having. I enjoy being able to wear hoodies again, got my Midland hoodie on right now, and I can't wait to go back to a darker hair color. Tonight I'm looking forward to a bowl of nice warm soup, mint hot chocolate, and cuddling up with a good book. A Lazy Friday night....I LOVE IT!
3. I confess that I think it seriously sucks to be my brother.....SERIOUSLY, NOT KIDDING AT ALL! I'm not going to lie...the past 7-8 days have been awful! On top of Brent being in Hawaii, Glenn was out 4 of the 6 days instead of the 2 days it was supposed to be. His son was in an ATV accident and was life-flighted from Vernal, where they were hunting, to Primary Children's Hospital. Daniel, Glenn's son, was put into an induce coma and on life support so that his brain could shut down to absorb the blood and heal itself....nope, no helmet! Thankfully Daniel is now back home and doing much better. I can't imagine how scary that was for everyone involved.
Back at home, our two younger guys really stepped up to the plate and did an amazing job with the heavy workload. The three of us worked A LOT of hours and it was an extremely stressful week. THANK GOODNESS IT'S OVER! Now that he's home I'm going to start making some changes at the office, there's got be a way to make it easier for him.....YIKES!
