Jenny, My Muse

Ok, my BFF is really into this blogging thing and I feel like I need to keep up. The real reason that I am updating my blog is that Scott got a new laptap and I am giving it a test run.
We have had a busy couple of weeks. We went on a true vacation last week, complete with actually paying money to stay somewhere! Shari, Mike and Lily, Scott's parents and my little family went to Wears Valley, TN, which is right outside of Pigeon Forge. We rented a beautiful cabin a million miles up in the air (seriously! I was afraid to leave the house at night and wasn't too fond of leaving during the day either. It was SCARY!) Aside from the fact that I think I must be somewhat afraid of heights, the views were magnificent! I will post some pics later. The second night that we were there alot of the mountains got snow and we could see the snow covered mountains from the comfort of the living room. We had a great time! Nana took the boys to the Ripley's aquarium in Gatlinburg and they had a blast! We were on this little vacation for Halloween so we let the boys trick or treat around the house. They went door to door (bedroom to bedroom) and Aunt Shari and I tried to come up with some creative ways to scare them when they came knocking on our doors. I even managed to lay down on top of the washer and dryer- you don't want to know!!
Since the mountain trip I have focused my attention on the upcoming (not yet) Christmas holiday. My friend Cherie asked if I was skipping Thanksgiving. Are you kidding? Have you seen me? No way I am skipping turkey day but I can include the Christmas decor in my Thanksgiving feast, can't I?
I put my indoor tree up today but the darn lights would not work and I got frustrated so the decorating will have to wait until another day. Maybe tomorrow after I buy more lights?
Anyway, life is great here. I love my boys (even the adult one) and could not ask for more. Except maybe that the light fairies could fix my Christmas tree lights while I am in bed tonight!
