Jett's 3rd Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated with Jett for his 3rd birthday. The party was "Cars" themed and the big surprise of the day was a HUGE Cars bouncehouse set up outside. Gabriel squealed when we saw it for the first time and the kids had a blast jumping in it (some of the big kids too--ahem MeMe!)...The weather was beautiful and it was a perfect day to enjoy some time outside. That is about all we did this weekend other than church, watching some football, playing, and being lazy. I have not had the most energy the past few weeks, so it was nice just to spend some time at home relaxing. I loved the time change, Sunday seemed like the LONGEST day in history and I did get a few things done around the house. I finished up all the thank you cards from the "sprinkle" and got them in the mail, and also got Gabriel's birthday invites all addressed and ready to be mailed. Not sending them out quite yet, but am trying to get as much done early as possible.

This weekend we have no huge plans either, love it! I am off Thurday for Veteran's Day and am sending Gabriel to school so I can have some "me" time! I have a massage scheduled (gift certificate from my birthday waaaay back in March!) and I am hoping to do a little Christmas shopping. I have a good bit of it done already and hope to be finished and have it all wrapped by the time Elizabeth gets here. Mom and I are going to go up to Ba%ies R U* later in the afternoon to check out bottles and a few other things I need. Friday I will be off with Gabriel and hope that we can do something special together. I cherish our Fridays together and we won't have too many more where it is just the 2 of us (ok I am tearing up now...very hormonal!)...Saturday I will have to hit the annual Rehobeth barbecue, YUM, then hope the Heels can beat V. Tech. Sunday will be the usual, church and football. I am also hoping to begin some Christmas decorating this weekend..I know it may seem very early but I have got to get this stuff done when I can...And we always usually have at least our tree up by Thanksgiving anyways...I started listening to Christmas tunes yesterday and that is getting me in the mood for the holidays. I am going to pull down our Christmas books and movies, can't wait to start reading them with Gabriel. I think he is going to love Christmas as much as I do!

Next week is my last week of work, yippee! I will not lie, I am really looking forward to some time off. I love my job and the folks that I work with are incredible, but as you all know, no matter how much you enjoy your job, WORK is still WORK, and it is always nice to have a break from it!
