Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This week I took Tuesday and Wednesday off. Me and the girls had a good time. We went to the mall and had a good time. We had a great Thanksgiving. This weekend we also did a lot of decorating around the house and it looks really nice. I'm glad we got to get a lot done. Having the house decorated makes me really happy. :) I wish we could have more time off like this. This week unfortunately we're back to work and school. 

Flu Shot!

Saturday me and Emma went to CVS and got our Flu shot. Emma did great and I am so proud of her! Afterwards we went and got some lunch and went to Barnes and Noble where she got a couple of Anime books. After we were done, we came home and watched a couple episodes of Street Hawk. Toni had taken Caitlin and her friend to the movies where they also had a great time. Later on that night, we all went to Ingram Mall and walked around and had dinner. We had a great day and I'm thankful for days like that. Yesterday we just stayed around the house. This week I am working on Monday and then am off for the rest of the week for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to the time off and family time.

Cleaning the Patio

 

This week was fairly quiet. Last night me and Toni watched Shang-Chi which was fun. Today we went to breakfast and then stopped at a couple of garage sales. Didn't find too much but we had a good time. After we got home, Caitlin pressure washed the rest of the back patio. It looks really nice and she did a good job. Hopefully this week is quiet. 

A Week With Ups and Downs

This week was an interesting week. Halloween was fun. Caitlin went and hung out with her friend and Toni and I went with Emma and her friends and their parents trick-or-treating. We had a good time. I was off on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday I took the girls to see Shang Chi. It was a fun movie and I had a good time hanging out with the girls. On Tuesday one of the supply lines on our water heater broke. We had to turn off the water and didn't get hot water back until Wednesday night. At least we still had cold water so we were able to use toilets. Friday during lunch I took Caitlin to an urgent care so she could get the Flu mist vaccine. Since she hates needles, the mist is a better option. I had offered the girls $25 if they wanted to get the shot. Caitlin declined but Emma wants to get the shot for the $25. My goal with giving them money is that I want the memories associated with shots to be good ones. I figure if after a shot we go to the mall or something and they have money to spend, maybe they won't associate shots with bad memories. Emma and I will probably go to CVS on day this week to get ours. 

On Saturday we went to breakfast and then stopped at a car show at the high school. It was cool to see the classic cars. Emma was more interested in them than Caitlin and I had good time bonding with Emma and with the family just spending time together. Today we started decorating for Christmas. We've got some stuff put in the back yard and hopefully we can do a little each day this week.
