The couch has FINALLY arrived

After a month and a half waiting, my couch is here!! Just a few more things to add to complete my living room!!! I am SOOOO EXCITED!!

Christmas Presents

I can't post pictures of what I am working on (because some of them check this site-okay probably only Dorothy, but still!) I was thrown off by HOW BUSY Hillsboro was yesterday in the shopping areas of town. I guess that makes me alittle happy to be farther away from a shopping town:)

Other news...The flu has messed with Rich's sleep schedule. Though he is feeling better, his sleep clock has been rest to his natural night owl setting. He has been going to bed around 1 or 2 in the morning and sleeping in until 10 or 11. This week should be fun trying to reset the internal clock.

And Abra has a fever:( She acts JUST fine!! She just has a 101 fever every 6 hours (as the medicine wears off).

Today's news

Rich officially got the flu:( In attempt to keep from getting sick (I don't think my efforts are working becuase I have a headache and am very sleepy) I decided to move the TV from the playroom tot he living room so that I could sit on my new couch (an not on the one where Rich has his planted his butt). Notice that I was so tired last night I couldn't see the TV (because it is alittle small) So I moved the TV instead of the love seat. I did find out that sleeping on the loveseat ISN'T as comfortable as hopefully my couch will be.

In other news, Abra LOVES to wear her summer dresses. I keep reminding her that it is TOO COLD to wear things with no sleeves. Here is her solution to that problem.

Nothing new

I just felt obligated to write something since Halloween has officially been done with. There is NOTHING GOING ON!! Abra and I are starting to go stir crazy in our house. I guess I can complain too much, we haven't been sick and did make a trip out to Hillsboro to the library and did get some more yard work done, but that is the extent of my fun:) Looking forward to doing something with the old neighborhood friends Wednesday!! YES!!

Genentech Party

Last night was Genentech's Halloween party. Abra was REALLY excited!! She got to see her friends and show off her beautiful princess costume.

To the left, Bobbilee and Abra are holding hands waiting for costume contest.

To the top, Carl (her betrothed) are coloring after going through the haunted house.

Orange, really

Monday there is an extra garbage pick-up day so I decided to get the curtains in the family room taken down. Underneath the whatever color that is I found the original paint job!

Weekend fun

I got a call Thursday night asking if we wanted visitors. I said OF COURSE!! I know that all of my local friends are tired of hearing and seeing my house:) So, Friday night, Jim, Dorothy, Ethan and Andrew arrived on our doorstep. It was a COMPLETE surprise for Abra and she didn't know what to think!! Friday night was spent playing and playing and playing!!

Like most celebrations, there was a dance on Saturday night. Ethan and Abra were HILARIOUS!! They started dancing and then Ethan tried to "dip"her and they fell over!! They figured out the whole dipping problem by Abra just looking up at the ceiling. Then they started to twirl eachother!! It was GREAT!! I can't figure out how to uplaod videos, but it is on facebook if you want to see!

After the dance, it was TRANSFORMERS time!! Ethan got ready by getting his guns out.
