What They're Into This Month

Hi All! I am so sorry that I abandoned blogworld for the past 2 weeks. All of my excuses for absenteeism follow.

• Hubby was away on a hunting trip for 10 days and my exhaustion overtook computer time. (seriously not sure how single moms do it; mostly I just missed adult conversation; think I went a little insane)
• Also, the kids have been sick for the past week so I have been lacking in the sleep department.
• End of marking period...grades, grades, grades, followed by parent teacher conferences

So, I thought I would get you caught up on LnL with another version of "What They're Into This Month"

LJ

Now I know my ABC's...

Thought I'd share this little video we took a while back. LK has been singing her ABC's for quite some time now, but this was the first time LJ tried to sing along!

*You will need to stop the playlist at the bottom in order to hear the video**

His favorite month...

Today my wonderful hubby turns one year older. This fall will mark the 11th year since our "romantic" relationship began. It is crazy to think it's been so long...and to tell ya the truth I am starting to feel a little old. Maybe it's just the annoying little gray hair that keeps coming back in the same exact spot on the top of my head!

Hubby has never actually told me that October is his favorite month...but I would bet some serious cash it is. It is just a bonus that his b-day happens to fall in this month. The month that he gets to start spending time w/the ducks again. Yes, I will become a duck hunter's widow on Saturday. I support him because I know just how much he loves it. I mean there is not one day that our conversation does not veer towards decoys, duck boats, duck hunting buddies, duck calls, shotguns, water where ducks go, fields where ducks or geese could be, flying patterns, feeding habits, ducks, ducks, ducks. I think you get the idea.

It was so fun celebrating daddy's b-day with LnL this year. They loved decorating with streamers, making birthday cards, helping him blow out the candles, and eating cake! It was so sweet when LK met "my daddy" (he belongs to her and no one else!) at the door with Happy Birthday daddy! When we finished singing LJ kept singing and singing the words to "Happy birthday". It was the sweetest little thing!

So...birthday wishes go out to my sweet husband who deals w/me on the days when I think I am going to lose my mind and somehow makes it all a little better.
