Happy Thanksgiving!

The girls made these cute hats the other day at the Y. Pilgrim Hannah and Pilgrim Lillian just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

A Cute Little Story

Yesterday when we were driving home from church, Lillian made us all smile! When the radio is on, it's always on KTIS. Lillian has become quite opinionated about the songs that come on, saying that she either likes the song, or doesn't like the song! This one random song comes on and Lillian says, "Mama, I don't like this song!" I reply, "Sorry sweetie!" Then she replies again, "Mama, I don't like this song!" So I reply, "Sorry you don't like the song! I'm not changing it, so if you don't like it, cover your ears!" I said this, not thinking that she would really do it. But, I looked back at her and she had her hands over her ears, which was very cute! The funny part is next though. While having her hands over her ears Hannah asks her, "So can you hear anything Lilly?" And Lillian replys, "Nope!" :)

Sore Arm!

I got my flu shot today. I am not a big fan of shots, but figured I should do it any ways. My arm is actually sore! I got to get the shot at Bill's work, so that was fun. We got our shots, and then had lunch at Wendy's which is always yummy! Yeah for the chocolate Frosty! Recently Bill had to switch building's at work, so we also got to see the new desk he works at. The girls had a lot of fun drawing on his huge white marker board! And, one of Bill's co workers bought the girls some M and M's from the M and M machine. So besides the shot, it made for a fun day!

Matching Winter Hats

So it's that time of year again to bundle it up, cause it is chilly! We bought these hats last year on clearance for like a dollar a piece! That's a pretty good price I'd say! Aren't they cute:)

Trader Joes

Last week I went to a Trader Joes for the first time. It was a nifty store. I don't know that I would shop there all the time, cause some of the prices did seem a little high. Although I thought the quality of the products was pretty high. I found, and bought, so really yummy dried apple slices. And I found our chocolate advent calendars for the year for only 99 cents a piece! We have been doing the advent calendars about 6 years now, which is crazy! I know that one or two of the years we have done it, the chocolate hasn't been that great depending on where we got it from. So I am hopeful this year that the chocolate will be really good since it is Trader Joes brand. We shall see come December 1st!

A Goal Reached

So, I am not usually one to make goals. Partly cause if you don't reach them, it's kind of like you failed, and who likes to do that? Or, you may even forget about them. A lot of people think setting goals is a good thing though. Gives you something to shoot for. So for whatever reason, when we got our membership to the Y, I decided to set a weight loss goal. I am happy to say that after 9 1/2 long months I finally met my goal. It's cool, kind of strange too! Like, what now? Do I have to set another one? The first one took so long to reach! We'll see. The Y in Eagan is doing a fun thing. You have to weigh in before Nov. 26th, and then they will reweigh you after the New Year. If you have maintained or lost weight during the Holiday's you will get a free T shirt! I may decide to do this. It's hard though cause some of the foods you eat during this time are only things you get once a year! This could be a good thing though, helping me to intake all these yummy foods in moderation! We'll see how it goes!

Halloween 2008!

We had a fun Halloween this year!
We had two princesses! Hannah was Cinderella and Lillian was Snow White.

Lillian was a pretty determined little trick or treater! She carried her bag longer than her big sister carried hers!

The both did pretty well though!
I just wore my pumpkin hat, and Bill dressed up as Obi -Wan Kenobi. His trustee light saber led the way:)
