It Is Conference Time

We had a wild & crazy weekend! We decided to go on a trip last minute. Thursday afternoon was spent making hotel reservations, reserving a trailer to rent and making an appointment to have a hitch installed on the van on Friday morning! And don't forget packing!

All kinds of things went wrong as we ventured off for our spontaneous trip out of town - including a bout with sickness while away! We got a late start but we made it to our destination and had a late dinner at Cracker Barrel with a dear friend. We visited with my Sister and her family and had a blast! We shopped at IKEA/the Armstrong family's favorite place to shop! We finally bought new bedroom furniture for our (Papi & Mami's) bedroom! We stayed in a hotel two nights and really enjoyed our time away together as a family.

Our kids never sleep in the car - this is them on the way home - totally conked out!

This is our dinner at my Sister's house. Her Husband took the picture. He did this funny thing with his hair to make all the kids laugh! What a great photographer! We are hoping for some kickbacks from the bib company for the advertising!

The week has passed very, very quickly. Monday I raced home after school for our 3rd post placement visit. It went smoothly. Tuesday morning, Papi & Mami took Andres to an appointment with a pediatric urologist. Yesterday evening, I had a night out in preparation for a long weekend. Tonight we will go to our very first Parent - Teacher Conferences for the girls!

Tomorrow, both girls are off school. We are all off on Tuesday as well for Veterans Day.

My ornaments are officially finished and ready for the big exchange next week. We will be packing our shoe box gifts this weekend and turn them in on Sunday! After that, I will be ready for another craft!
