Life around here has been a blur lately. These past few weeks have been stressful, anxious, sad and tiring. So today instead of dwelling on those feelings, this post is going to be happy and positive and just down right fun. Maybe next week I will post an update on all that has been going on in the Doggette household but for now here are some randoms.
1. October is just a few days away but here in the desert you wouldn't necessarily know it. The day temps still creep into the 80's and when you are 4000 feet above sea level that sun can be brutal but thankfully the nights are getting cooler and as the sun sets you can feel a break in the temperature. And its been windy so even even the 80 degrees is tolerable. I hear it does cool down around Halloween so here is hoping!
2. Speaking of Halloween, this house is in full decorate mode. Its been a good distraction for the hubs to start brainstorming his theme this year and start decorating little by little. We love LOVE the holidays. This is my favorite time of the year.. these next three months are just plain fun and exciting! The kiddos are already for Halloween as well. My aunt bought them adorable costumes from Pottery Barn Kids. They are so stinkin' cute! P is going to be a Kitty Cat, Henry will be Frankenstein and Scott is going to be Cat in the Hat. They will be the best dressed kids in the neighborhood.
3. We have a special "field trip" planned next week with a friend and her little boy to visit a local pumpkin patch. 2 adults + 3 boys + a farm should equal lots of fun. We are making the hour and a half drive to go but it will be worth it! :) Help kick off this month in the right direction.
4. The hubs and I have a date night planned for next weekend. So grateful we found a great babysitter that we trust and that the kids love! She is awesome and make life much easier knowing we have her when we need a break. We are heading to Tuscon which is a little over an hour away but its a huge city with lots of shopping. Our goal that night is to knock out most of our Christmas shopping for the kids. Yes its early but with 3 of them and all 3 of them also having their birthdays around the same time, it makes life easier to stay ahead of the game.
5. I am happy that the fall season has started and all our favorite shows are back on! Helps the week go by when you have good shows to tune into and escape reality ;) We are currently obsessed with the new Fox show Sleepy Hollow. It reminds me a lot of Grimm which is another favorite of ours. We are also hooked on NBC's Revolution and Parenthood, ABC's Castle and Modern Family and of course CBS's CSI. We also routinely watch Duck Dynasty and American Pickers. With 3 kids and a busy schedule, evenings are the only time we really watch TV. Its a nice break for this mama!
6. Football season is in full swing and in this house we love us some football. We love college football and the NFL. Our favorite is South Caroline Gamecocks and we love the SEC. We are big fans of Peyton Manning and thus follow the Denver Broncos. Weekends are so much more fun when there is great football on!
Well that about sums it up for now. Hopefully I will be able to update next week and share some good news as well!
