Seriously, where does the time go?

I am currently at work and will not be able to post pictures from here, but just a quick update.
The last 2 1/2 weeks have been very busy. Work, Boy Scouts, baptisms, PTA, Lia Sophia parties (yea, that's plural), babies (no I'm not pregnant), etc. This next week should be a little slower, only 2 Boy Scout functions, one night of work, 1 Halloween program, one Halloween night and one candle party. Jeepers! Anyway.....
I forget that I haven't been doing this blog for very long and people wouldn't know about all of the things we've been doing with the house. When I get home I'll post some pictures....too fun. Jason always needs projects and now that we are home owners, this energy goes towards the home. It's fabulous, except I'm always feeling like a slacker, because when he's home he keeps busy, not so much me!! I guess, mine is a different busy, right!!
Anyway, I have to go do work stuff, I have tons of pictures to post, so buy from now!!!! :)

Haircuts and Tiger Cub Scouts

Last Friday was picture day at the school. And of course my neighbor and I volunteered to help. (the school staff thinks we should start getting paid with how much time we spend there:), we call ourselves the "forever moms" because we are forever volunteering for stuff, or something like that!)I found out when you volunteer to helo with pictures you get one package free, so I was able to get Tyler's done for free. Yea for volunteering. Anyway, both of the boys were in serious need of haircuts and with said pictures coming up I finally took them in to an inexpensive hair place just down the road aways. I had them buzz Tyler and I gave Cody the choice of what he wanted. So he said he wanted it "cut" on top. So I told the gal to buzz the sides short and then put a little more style on the top. And as is always the case with people who cut Cody's hair, she was amazed at how thick and soft his hair is! :) She ended up doing the messy/spike look on top and I have to say admit that when I first looked at him I said a swear word, under my breath of course. He was/is one good looking kid!!!!! He looked a lot older too. I'm a little nervous. One of the teachers at school who has a highschool aged son said that she gets very upset about the "aggressive girls" that chase after her son. She said that he's a good-lookin' athlete and literally he has to avoid certain girls. Ok.....I know, I know... highschool is a long ways away, but Cody's already had two little girls in the 1st grade tell him they have a "crush" on him, and one of the little girls has his name written all over her folder with "kiss" marks by it....THEY'RE ONLY IN THE FIRST GRADE!!!!! okay, okay......I'm catching my breath now and settling down....... :) It will all be fine! On another subject,
Tuesday night was Cody's first Tiger Cub Den meeting. We went to a fellow Cub member's house and the boys had an absolute blast. There are 3 boys from Cody's class at school (there are only 6 boys total in his class at school, *sigh*) and one boy from one of the other classes at Beartooth. The other 3 boys go to a different school. Tonight is his Pack meeting at Bitterroot school. His next Den meeting is going to be a Halloween party, we are very excited about that! I think he's really going to enjoy Scouts.

This is his Tiger Cub Scout Pack. I'm the designated photographer. I have to get a group photo at the begining of each Den meeting.

So I mentioned that we had scouts on Tues and then again tonight, the rest of my week has been just as crazy. I worked Mon. night, and then last night I went to a Lia Sophia party, it was super fun. And I let myself be suckered into hosting a party this coming Feb. (right close to my birthday, good planning if I do say so myself!!!:)) So to continue with my week, I work tomorrow night. Sat is free as of right now, but there is A LOT of stuff Jas and I need to get done around the house. The trim needs to be painted in the new addition, along with the decorative stripe I had Jas paint in the middle of the wall needing to be touched-up. The edges need calking. The dining room needs a little work: highchair needs to be cleaned and taken apart seeings how it isn't being used anymore (and I will be seeing a couple siblings next week that might be in need of it). I need to make the boys Halloween costumes. I have cookies and a blanket to make for a gal that I work with who just had a baby (Jas also works with the husband/dad). The basement needs to be rearranged now that we took the couch out of the family room to put it into the new addition. The extra bedroom upstairs is now going to be my office and I need to get it all in order. And to top it all off, all of the other daily housework that seems to fall by the wayside during the week needs to be done. And then a 12 hour shift on Sun. at work. So much to do, so little time........... so long for now from Montana! :)

Popcorn.......

The boys, dog and I just got back from a short outing to try and sell Boy Scout Popcorn. We started out by going to the neighbors across the street, fortunately and unfortunately the stop at said neighbors never is just a quick stop. It always ends up being a visit about....stuff, you know, the usual gossip about the neighborhood, PTA happenings, what we're making for dinner or what we SHOULD have made for dinner, all while the kids run, jump and wrestle around on the lawn (this is also what the dogs do). So about an hour later (and now it's getting dark) we say our goodnights for the 10th time and head out to the rest of the street in the hopes of making a few sales before it rains and or gets too dark! We actually did very well, of all the houses we went to, the people that answered their door bought at least something. And I think we only made it to 6 or 7 houses!! But seriously, how can anyone resist a bluish eyed, blonde hair little guy who rings your doorbell and very seriously says "Hi, my name is Cody Brunner, I'm a BOy Scout from Pack 11. I'm selling popcorn, would you like to buy some?" It would be tough to say no......I'm always a sucker! :) And besides Boy Scout popcorns the bomb, it's not like you wouldn't want some anyway, even if it wasn't such a cutie selling it!! (obviously I'm not biased towards my kids). I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow when we go out!
Last night was our PTA meeting where we voted for board members. I'm not on the board, but I managed to become Chair of quite a few committee's! :) My favorite being Potluck night for the teachers during parent teacher conference week. The night that they have to stay until 8ish, the PTA brings in a Potluck, so they don't have to miss dinner or even worry about bringing something. This is something that's right up my alley. As is obvious by my "baby weight" that I still have, food is my forte. :)
Anyway....I better get the boys in bed! Night..................
