Doctor Visit

I had to take the girls to the doctor today for full physicals, we all survived! They got weighed, measured, hearing tests, finger sticks... the whole deal and all three girls did great. No tears even!!
Now they get to look forward to the rest of the day...
Sahara has her last piano practice before her recital on Saturday morning.
Bria has her last kindermusik class.
And both girls get to have a sleepover with their friends, at their friend's grandma's house!
Not to mention that sometime today we have to squeeze in getting ice cream at our favorite place Maggie Moo's with the coupons that nurse gave the girls.

Our Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Our friends had us over for a mystery dinner... Not only did they cook up the whole dinner feast (yes, you heard me right I didn't cook a thing!) but they also shared with us how thankful they are for our friendship. We really have so much to be thankful for!

Notice the shoes on little Sam? Look at little big? That's because they are Sahara's:)

And don't worry we didn't forget about Tirza, oh no we did not! She, in true Tirzy fashion, make her mark on our thanksgiving holiday! Zach and Angie made us a special pumpkin pie- FROM the PUMPKIN, not the can! It was sitting on the table and all of the adults were in the kitchen making our coffee and tea to go with the beautiful pie... When Sahara came and alerted us that Tirza was messing with the pie. Destroying would have been a better word...

.

At least she used the server and not her hands... and yes, we did still eat the whole thing!

Top Tooth

Sahara lost her first top tooth yesterday. I didn't even realize it was very loose yet! She went into the bathroom and came out holding her tooth. Sahara doesn't mess around with loose teeth. (Her friend, Jackson, taught her how to get those teeth out in a hurry!)

Sahara wrote the Tooth Fairy a note that said, "Hey this is Sahara agin. can I have 2 pack's of gum can Bria have something to."

Fairy Violet, Sahara's tooth fairy, is very sweet and brought just that, 2 packs for Sahara and one to share with Bria!

Isn't that grin hilarious!:)

Quotes

Last night as we were sitting down to dinner Bria said, "Mom can I just have some vegetables for dinner?!"

Tirza's new thing to say is, "My Daddy said" or "My Momma says." Yesterday when I got her up from her nap she told me, "My Letha says..."

Little Cinderella

Since last time...

We had another crazy fun weekend... both girls had sleepovers on Friday night. We got to rest and all be home together on Saturday, and Sunday was close to normal:)
Tomarrow afternoon we are headed to Memphis... Mark and I have a meeting and then we are all staying the night at a hotel so we can put Letha on the plane Wednesday morning.
Time is flying by- Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we haven't even gotten to making our next count down!
Which by the way I just counted and it's less than 40 days until more family arrives, from Canada and India!!! Yeah!

Way Behind...

I have been a bad blogger lately... I am way behind in the happenings of the Bustrum family. She for now I'll give highlights and try to keep up better from now on.
1. This weekend we kept our friends 3 kids. We being us and the Smiths, so that means there were 9 kids among us:) 8 girls and 1 boys! The kids were all over the place... some here, some with Allie. Marcie took the big girls for a sleepover Saturday night, she thought she was taking the easy ones but they woke her up at 5:30am on Sunday- haha, I mean sorry about that. We learned that little boys take a whole different energy level than little girls, poor Graham got a little bored at times. But Mark enjoyed Star Wars training, playstation and even worn Graham out one time when he took him to play disk golf. It was a fun, crazy weekend!

2. Tirza told Letha yesterday, "You are ruining my Life!"

3. Mark sent Tirza on a fly catching expedition last night to get her out of the kitchen while we made dinner. She came back in a few minutes later with a fly swatter and a dead fly in her hand. She was saying, "Fly, fly, fly, fly..."

4. Today after car shopping with Letha we got to go to "work" at a micro society school with our friend, Isaac. It is such a neat program the kids all have jobs and go to work, get paid, go shopping. it's great. We got to go today and shop. They went to an insect zoo, got their nails done and bought an American girl magazine. Thanks friends for inviting us!

Okay, I think you are all up to date now...

Halloween

It was perfect weather for Trick or Treating and we had lots of great friends to go with. The big kids went as fast as they could from house to house. Sahara lead the pack with Mark not far behind:) I think she only wiped out one time. Tirza was amazed that all you had to do was say, "trick or treat" and candy was dumped in your bad- how cool is that?! Bria thinks we should let her dress up like a princess everyday...
