These last few weeks have been the most stressful I think I've ever had. I love my kids but being with them 24/7 can really make you crazy. So, Saturday night they spent at Grandpa and Gege (Carol). Mackenzie just started calling her that on Friday! Too cute.
With the kids at my dads, Marty and I had the night to ourselves to do whatever. When I left dads, I had a massage appointment. It was much needed. I had never been to this place before so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was very comfortable and relaxing. I had an hour massage and it was only $55. The cheapest I have seen around. I was so relaxed by the time it was over, I almost walked out without paying. Whoopsy!
After my massage, I picked up Marty and we met up with friends Tim and April at London Grill for dinner. It was pretty good, but not as good as we remember. But decently priced so not terrible. After dinner we had a drink at a small bar in town that Marty and I had never been to. Nothing special, but made huge long island iced teas. As big as a beer, it was pretty crazy. From there we went to Tim and April's for a while. I learned to not drink chocolate wine after anything. It was yummy, but I payed for it all day Sunday. I'm not a wine drinker so I'm not used to any of the after effects.
Sunday was a very lazy day. I took a 2.5 hour nap, Cameron slept for 1.5 hours and Mackenzie napped for 3.5 hours. Marty spent that time to work on his car.
All in all, it was a nice weekend, and I'm way less stressed out and feel like I could deal with anything these kids throw my way.
Today, they're going to Grandma Shelly's for a bit while I have a meeting for a ski lift operator job tonight. It's not a guaranteed job but something to get us some extra money for Christmas will be nice.
The rest of the week will be spent with Mackenzie at school and getting ready for Mackenzie's birthday parties and her birthday which is all next weekend and next week. And getting the house ready for my Mary Kay holiday open house which is on Sunday! Hopefully that will be successful!

Happy Halloween!
We had a good Halloween weekend and Monday.
Friday Marty got home at a decent time, for dinner we ordered my somewhat newly favorite pizza, the New Yorker from Upper Crust. So yummy!
Saturday Marty and I took the kids to the annual Halloween carnival at church. It's the first year that we went, so we weren't totally sure what all there was. They had a lot of games and the trick or treat trail. We did the trick or treat trail but not the games. They were all a bit too old for the kids. We are planning on going back next year, and Mackenzie should be able to play some of them then. After the carnival we took the kids to see Grandpa Mike, Marty's dad. After there, we did grocery shopping and came home for a late dinner. We also learned, Mackenzie can not go all day without a decent nap yet. After the kids went to bed, Marty and I finished carving pumpkins. Mackenzie carved hers on Thursday.
Sunday came and Marty left for work :( while the kids and I went to church. The rest of the day was spent relaxing at home.
Monday was of course Halloween!!! The kids were in there costumes by 3:45. Cameron was a little monkey and Mackenzie was Cinderella! They were so cute. Marty's mom came up to see Morgan in her school parade. She was a character from Monster High. I have no idea what that is. Then she came over here to trick or treat with the kids. They have the businesses in town hand out candy before homes in town so we trick or treated there. Once Marty got home, we went trick or treating to houses and handed out our candy until around 8 when we ran out of candy.
All in all, it was quite a nice weekend with the whole family together.
