November

So, how did I end up going through all of November without posting?? It has been busy at the Johnson house the past few weeks! We did Halloween. We spent the day in Athens, then came back to Horton and made the rounds here.
Spent all day one day (me and Troy and Audrey) in Huntsville with Peggy...she had gone for her regular treatment for her colon, and we ended up in the emergency room all afternoon/evening having her heart checked. Everything was alright, though. They told her they thought it was her asthma acting up.
Then we passed around a cold or something. All of us but Audrey have been on antibiotics for sinus infections. Actually, I have to go for a recheck tomorrow.
Had Thanksgiving. We ate lunch at Mrs. Johnson's with the Johnson crew, then came home and let the kids nap while I finished packing for Athens and cooking for Bonnie's. We stopped by Bonnie's for a little while to see the Stewart folks, including some out-of-state cousins, before heading to Athens to have supper at Moma Kat and Grandeddy's with them, Moma and Deddy, and Chris and Christie. Friday morning, Christie and I got up early and did a little Black Friday shopping (and Audry went, too!) It was my first time...I'm thinking unless there is something I really need and someone is having an awesome deal next year I will be staying at home. :) I'm liking the online shopping. We ended up going to Babies R Us, Michael's, Dick's, Toys R Us, and the mall. When we got done shopping, we went to Moma Kat and Grandeddy's for a fish fry with the fam. They were cooking some of the fish the guys caught when they went deep sea fishing when we went to Florida over the summer. Then, of course, the Iron Bowl...WAR EAGLE!!! :D
Saturday, Jeremy and Chris went hunting at Christie's parents'. They saw several deer...across the property line! SO much for venison from than hunting trip! While they were hunting, I took the boys to Mom and Dad's and me and Christie and Audrey went to Lori Clem's to get my hair cut. So great finally getting to meet her and her family in person! :) And got a great cut and highlight, too!!
Not really much going on last week. We had Ladies' Fellowship at Pam and Randy's house. Ate stew and soup and discussed starting another ladies' Bible class, putting together our fruit baskets we do every year, and starting Secret Sisters. I am waiting to see how all of this works out! Wondering how many classes I will make it to with 3 small children to take care of!
Also been getting ready for Christmas. Been getting the house decorated and presents bought. We are almost done! YAY! The boys are getting excited, too!
Yesterday was a fun-filled day. Got up and finished the housework, with Haley's help, and got us all ready to have our pictures made. Amanda Campbell (and Bryan and Story!) came to the house and took pictures for us. She has been posting them on Facebook as she gets them edited, and the ones she has posted so far have been wonderful! She did a great job. And it was fun catching up with Bryan, too while they were here. Then, last night, the Palmers came over and ww ate pizza and let the boys play. We are completely outnumbered now with the 5 kids between us, and 4 of them boys! We always have a good time with them.
Something else new at the Johnson house...cloth diapers. :) I have realy enjoyed them more than I thought I would. These ain't yo momma's cloth diapers! ;) They are so easy to use, and we have not had one single blow-out diaper since I started using them! (knock on wood!) I love the fun colors of the covers, too. (And what I really love is how they are saving us money!!)
Speaking of cloth diapers, I have to go throw a load in the washer...so they can get clean and I can get them drying before I go to bed! Ciao, all!
