What the rest of us have been up to....


Kadence has decided that she no longer wants to wear pull-ups to bed at night. Last night she actually cried before bed because she didn't want to wear one :( I felt guilty when I noticed that she had just had a whole bottle of water and there was no way she was going to make it through the night without an accident. I told her that we would start trying to go to bed in big girl panties after we get home from the lake this weekend....I mean I am already doing a ton of laundry a day, why not add sheets to that :) I am so proud of her but I can't believe how big she is getting. Even though I am off work she is still going to "School" 3 to 4 days a week. No it isn't because I am too lazy to entertain her all day or want her out of my hair. I love spending the day with her and really enjoy the days that she stays home, but I have to keep her in her routine. She would have had such a hard time going back to school in Jan if I had kept her home this whole time. Kadence loves going to school and she has actually cried on Saturday mornings when she realizes it is a "stay at home day". She will be home the entire week for Thanksgiving and two weeks for Christmas. I am sure I will keep her home a lot during the holidays so that we can do things I wouldn't usually be able to do since I work. I know she will miss her friends though and beg to spend a day away from Mommy and Public Enemy Number 1 (Krista Ryan). Ok enough about the girls, here is some news about Chad and I. Not much to say about me...I am on leave from work but still check my work email 20 times a day. I try not to worry about my kids since I have a wonderful sub in my room, but I just can't help it some days. I go up and get my grade book once a week so that I can put grades in but that is the extent of my classroom involvement at the moment. I am sure after Thanksgiving I will go up and see the kids and help decorate the room for the Holidays. Chad is enjoying his new car, a Pontiac GTO. Just last night he went to a car show at a Sonic for a meet and greet with other GTO owners. It sounds crazy that he got a new (2 door) car when we had a new baby, but he is so happy. And he bugged the crap out of me asking for it until I finally gave in a said yes. I hope he doesn't teach this habbit to the kids! We are both enjoying my time at home because the house is clean and there have been more homecooked meals in the last 4 weeks than there have been in the last year. He knows how much I am enjoying my time off and I am sure he is secretly terrified that I am just going to refuse to go back to work. Chad and I have been really into Texas Tech football this season (we always are it is just more fun when they are doing well). We are looking forward to watching them beat OSU this weekend! We are spending the weekend at the lake with my parents for my Mom's birthday and excited about the break.

Ok Krista is actually waking up and I never got in the shower....better run!
