Matt has decided that in addition to lawn care in the summer he will be doing some snow removal as well. He just has three buildings he is doing right now, but when it does snow he has to get up early to get it done. Some mornings when he has to be to work, he leaves to do snow removal at 4:30!! That is really hard for Matt. But it gets him going for the day and he seems to enjoy it. With all the snow we have gotten the last few weeks I think this Winter is going to be a cold and wet Winter with lots of snow. I think we have more now than we got the entire year last year.
Matt had to work on Thanksgiving this year so the kids and I enjoyed turkey without him. I was a little bummed that he didn't get to spend it with us, but I guess everyone has to take a turn working holidays. His family had a Thanksgiving dinner the night before so we (the kids and I) got to have 2 dinners and enjoyed every minute of it. We had received a bad snow storm earlier in the week and the roads were horrible. I was a little nervous to be on the roads by myself with the 2 kids, but we made it home safely, it only took us 3 times as long as usual.
The day of Thanksgiving I went with my mom out to my grandparents house and once again enjoyed good food and company. Matt was able to join us later in the afternoon once he got off work. We were all stuffed as we played a few games and visited with each other.
We put our Christmas tree and decorations up the next day, no early shopping for me!! The kids were eager to help decorate and are excited for Santa to come. I am almost done with all my shopping and I think I will enjoy the month of December not having to be in the busy stores. We are excited for Christmas to come and then the arrival of our new little baby. I am already counting down the weeks, I think more with anticipation than misery. I am feeling good and staying busy. Can't wait for all the Holiday fun to begin!!
