Sitting here looking at the calendar thinking about the events of this month. It seems like we stay so busy all the time .. you would think we would have some money to show for all the work we do.

Christi's 25 birthday is Saturday, the 6th. Levi will be working with Mark at the ballroom that day and Friday they will be in OKC at a new venue, so, we are going to have her birthday dinner on Thursday night.

Here's the menu:

bacon wrapped filet mignon
garlic mashed potatoes
seasoned green beans
homemade hot rolls

(dang, I forgot to order the cake today... hang on a minute while I write myself a note...... okay, done)

and birthday cake.


Next Monday we have to make the trip to Ardmore to see Emily's dentist... boo.

Zoe's birthday is the 14th, which is also Christi's brother's birthday and they want to combine the two... Zoe will get sick of that as she grows up, huh? We will do her birthday party here on Friday or Saturday (waiting on Mark to confirm which day he will be home)

Her menu is:

chicken nuggets
French Fries
Cake

her favorite foods.

she may not get any presents because every time I buy her something I wind up giving it to her as soon as we get home. I am horrible at keeping surprises and secrets.

Then, of course, there is Thanksgiving. more food. no wonder I am so fat.
I'm thinking I will do a turkey this year, I usually do ham, but I think I will just do the traditional turkey and dressing and of course all the fixings. Really don't know why I bother because, of course, Levi and Christi will be at her Mom's.

hmmm... I may do it on the Sunday before and invite Jason and Charity to come out since they couldn't make it for our Halloween party.

sounds like a plan.

I'm off to make lists ....

thanks for listening.
