I know I know

We've been home for a week officially in a few hours, and I still haven't told you that we're here!!! It's amazing how much life passes you by when you decided to go on "vacation." I didn't really want to blog about our trip until I could get some pictures for you all to see.

Our trip was over all great. Other than staying for two extra days, it was our best trip. Kaitlynn on the other hand wasn't the best trooper this time around. For her it was the worst trip she's had, ridding wise! We couldn't keep her occupied more than a few minutes before she'd start screaming. Needless to say she ended up fussing herself to sleep more than once.

We did find out that this is her last helmet, which I think I mentioned in my last post. So it is a big relief for us to know that we are offically done with the stinky hard plastic that has hindered many a cuddles. As I told Joel tonight, when we were making supper, "knowing that this is her last helmet, makes me want to make sure she wears it all the more. I then know that I'll have no regrets (which we don't!!!)." Knowing that it's her last, it makes it easier to plan our lives. We feel free! It's really hard to explain, but once you've been through it all you just get it!

So what have we been doing since we got home? Cleaning mainly, getting back into routine of school, preschool, ccd, work, and babysitting. We got to take the kids to Grandma & Grandpa's house for some late Trick-o-Treating. And we got to visit some friends today, or shall I say meet some new friends!

Errands are never fun, unless you have something to look forward to. Well I found out a while back that we don't live far from Jenny. And it just so happens that she has a MacKenzie as well. Jenny and her husband make wickless candles, and have just reopened their new website! Well I've been wanting to get my hands on some of them for a while, but since I knew we lived so close I was being cheap, and not wanting to pay shipping. We had tried to get together one other time, but her littles ended up not feeling well. I was SO excited when she emailed me today and said that they'd be home and I could stop by before I ran my errands! Not to mention the two MacKenzie's were excited as well! What else could make it better than finally getting my hands on 4 little goodies!!!!!

Let me just tell you, they smell incredible!!!! I loved all the scents and surely will have to get some more. You have got to go check them out!!! I got the Brandied Pear, Christmas Splendor, Harmony Grove, & Cinnamon Bun. I couldn't decide which one I wanted to put on the warmer first, but Brandied Pear managed to make it's way there. I'm thinking of putting the Cinnamon Bun on when I leave for work in the morning...considering Joel was making fun of me saying he wanted Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Poor man, his mother makes the best rolls, and I just make hockey pucks! Any who, you really should go on over and check out Jenny and her wickless candles. She just got done having a great giveaway, and I'm sorry that I'm too late to tell you about it, but if you check back often there just may be another one soon!

Now for the pictures! I put the trip ones on a slide show that way their easier!!! ****


****Sorry I can't figure out how to post it directly here...and well I'm still sitting up with MacKenzie. She played so hard today that she crashed when Joel got them home, and both girls slept for over 4 hours! Kind of my fault, but oh, well she doesn't know we're going to bed in just a few minutes!!!!!
