So I am pretty much going to recap our life of late. Hang with me.
***
The kids are great. Ellie is doing very well in school. She is taking tap class and loves it. My mom and Miss Martha tell me she is doing really well. I think my mom says this because she is her Nana. I think Miss Martha says this because I am paying her. I am going to look into piano lessons.
Mason is doing really well, period. He loves school. And horses. He got about 5 million animal figurines and a barn for his birthday. And he learned to play. Praise the Lord and Howyalooyah.

Falling back is the best thing that happened to me today. Waking Ellie in the morning is like disturbing a hibernating bear. She hates waking up. Her eyes never work. The lights are too bright. She's never really hungry. She pretty much dislikes the entire world.
Today she came to my bathroom at 6:15. That's a whole 30 minutes earlier than I normally go (try) to wake her. She was all smiles. Dare I say...giddy? I am attributing this to the time change. I am also ignoring the other possibilities for this change in mood, which are: 1.Mason spent the night with my parents last night 2. Today was pajama day at school and she didn't have to get dressed. Obviously, the time change works for Ellie.
Mason spent the night with my parents. My mom requested that he stay with them because it was "his turn". I honestly never considered the fact that he would wake up at say...4 am.

I am ready for Christmas. Mostly I am ready for decorating. I am dreaming up all kinds of cute thing I am going to do to my house. Here's hoping I actually get it done! And that Brandon can hang with it.

I want these boots. Like real real bad. I dream about them. They are expensive.
And I read the blog of a certain Pioneer Woman who bought them and liked them so much, she bought another color at the same time. What the heck? Who can buy $600 worth of boots in a pop?

I finally got a few of the beach pics. Here are a couple of my favorites. I always think candid, unposed shots where no one really got ready for the picture are the best.

Just so you know...I used to say the time change really worked better for my mind and body...Mason put a whole new twist on that!!! However...not to worry. I have recovered and look forward to the next time Mason and I can "talk" at 4am!!! Yes Brandon...Little Jennifer talked just like Mason...alot!!!
The boots are awesome !! Now I am dreaming about them !! Guess thats where you get your obsession with shoes !! I confess...I have been known to sleep with a favorite pair. $300...divide that over 10 years and those boots are just pennies!! And just think how warm and dry they will keep your feet during the cold weather :) (very pratical)
