It's been awhile...

I know it's been a week since I have been able to take a minute and write about what's happening with the Squire magnificent 7. Well, since I am sick again today and not able to eat again without it hurting so bad, I thought I would take time to catch up on my blog. I would put picture's on but it takes to much time and I really don't want to wait, so instead you just get my words and thoughts. Last Saturday morning we set out to do Travis' eagle project. Early in the week I was getting afraid that it would be just a few people and us, boy did I get a great surprise he had about 27 people come to support and help out. Can I just say I have married into the best extended family anyone could have. All of the Squire family came to support Travis and give him all the help he needed. Earlier last week they gave up their Labor day to come help Lynn and I move furniture and rip up carpet and clean up so that we would be ready for new carpet coming the next day. Not only that but the home we are living in is my parents not even ours, and they didn't care they knew we needed help and they came and helped us anyway. My mother in law kept us all feed and made sure all the little ones where taken care of. I would just like to say I love you all and thank you for helping me feel so loved and part of the Squire family! Then we got to help Ben celebrate his 4th birthday, I can't believe my baby is 4 he acts like he is 15 thanks to his big brothers. Which has made it even more sad because he grew up way to fast! Then yesterday I was able to go and have some fun with Gerrie Lyn and Sheri. I haven't been able to relax and have fun like that for awhile. Even though I wasn't feeling good I felt great when I was with them and would like to thank them for taking time to visit and shop with me. So that brings me to today, I have 4 days to get my mom's home in order and looking great. It's a lot of work and stress, but my excitement to see them out ways all that. I have missed my mom so much and have missed our shopping trips and visits just as much. Well, now you are all filled in on the Squire magnificent 7, I'm sure I will have much to say after my two week visit with my parents!!

Growing Up!

"GROWING UP I'M GOING TO MAKE IT"
So last night Lynn told me I need to help Meg grow up. I need to teach her how to take care of herself and that I have done to much for her. It's time to let go and let her grow into a beautiful young lady. He then told me I do way to much for her that she should be learning to do on her own. After a night of very little sleep (because I know he is right just don't tell him) and going over how I can talk to her and tell her it's time to do things on her own. This morning I talked to her about how it's time to learn to do things and take care of herself on her own. After we both cried for a few minutes we came to a understanding. She doesn't want to grow up and do it on her own, I don't want her to grow up and do it on her own, but we both know it's time and that dad (Lynn) is right. She is my baby girl I love dressing her up and doing her hair, she loves me doing it just as much. Well, starting this Friday and every other day she is going to dress herself without my opinion or help and do her hair. It's baby steps people for both of us, I am showing her how to do it and make it look nice and she even cracked a smile. All in all she left for school smiling and even gave me a kiss (which means she forgives me), and I am not teary eyed anymore. I think, I know I'm going to have a great day!!

Side note: Thank you honey, I know last night I was not very happy with you telling me this. In fact I was very mad and upset that you would even bring something like this up to me. How dare you say I need to stop taking care of my babies, that's the only thing I'm good at. But in the end your right, I was wrong, so thank you for helping me and Meg start taking baby steps to growing up...

*!*SOME THINGS I SHOULD NEVER DO*!*

*!*HaPpY FalL*!*

nothing I love more or makes me more happy then fall...

So here we are September 1st, and one of the things I really should never do, I did today. I went to Joann's, well really any craft store is a bad idea for me this time of year. I love fall, my favorite holiday is *!*HaLlOWeeN*!* One of the worse things I could do, and one of the worse things I can do to my pocket book is go to a craft store, I love to craft and decorate my home for fall and *!*HaLlOWeeN*!* So because I can't put up *!*HaLlOWeeN*!*, I made a table top fall sing that I can use all season long, and a cute door welcome sign I can use until I can put up my *!*HaLlOWeeN*!*. (Or until Lynn will let me put it up) I think they both turned out pretty cute, I guess really I'm the only one that it matters to!

So everyone *!*HaPpY fAlL*!*
