By the grace of God....

Our internet is back on!

It was suppose to be off until Monday- but Kevin was all over it.... called them, and got it up and running today- quite exciting to have something happen so smoothly around here. Its a novelty!

Maddy and Ellie's swimmer friend Samantha showed up at practice tonight having made a cute little diorama out of a Littlest Petshop the girls had given her. So cute!

Maddy and Ellie had another half day today- spent it at the Thornton's where they got to help put up Christmas stuff. So exciting for them- the only problem is that now they want to get ours set up.
Mrs Thornton even bought Christmas socks for my girls- which I don't think Maddy is going to take off until the 25th. Loves them!

Ellie is on a mission- she needs to read the Guardians of Gahoole by Sunday so that she can see the movie with the family. She has one day- wish her luck....

Just wanted to add another toad photo- sorry this one and the ones of the girls are so bad, iphones don't take dark photos well. Anyway- can you believe the size of the toad? Any amphibian that can cast a shadow is too big to be near me.... just sayin'.

And seriously- this is a package I got today in the mail...... could it be more crushed? Needless to say I am unhappy- as are my new acrylic stamps that were inside :( And this is a picture AFTER I had already straightened it out! Can you believe we actually have to pay more to ship things from here? Not sure where the extra money goes.....
