It's so annoying how just when you think you're getting on top of things, something comes along to knock you back down.
Sunday morning, J went out to do the paper route around 1:30 am and found that someone had smashed the passenger side window in his truck. So, he brushed the glass aside and did his route. As we were leaving later that morning to take pictures, he discovered that someone has done the same thing to MY passenger side window on the CR-V. ARGH! So, we spent the rest of the day calling the police and insurance companies and cleaning out the glass in both of our cars. Luckily, I have glass coverage on my car, so it's covered. I'm actually waiting for the glass company to come fix it now. Unfortunately, J does NOT have the same coverage so it's going to cost us $180 to fix his window. How irritating is that? Some stupid person decides to get their jollies off of breaking our windows and WE have to pay for it??????? Grumble....grumble...grumble....
I guess I should be happy that no one was hurt and that nothing was stolen from inside the cars. J had cash in his truck and that wasn't gone. It just makes me so mad that people do this - what is up with that?
In better news - the financing on the house is going through fine. The payments are about what we thought they would be, so that's a relief. There is one loan that our mortgage guy is trying to get for us. It would be so great, but we have a 50/50 chance of getting it. So PRAY that it comes though. We went to the design center last week and picked out our carpet/tile and appliances. That was really fun. The house is moving right along. It's painted and the countertops are in. We go by about once a week to see the progress. The kids are enjoying that.
We had a fun Halloween, although we've decided that going to a church carnival might be the better way to go next year. We have so much candy - not good for someone who really shouldn't have any chocolate at all! It's going to find a special hiding place today. Probably in the bottom of my freezer! HA!
That's about it for now! We are moving right along! Looking forward to going to the zoo with Cais on Thursday for a field trip. The kids have Friday off of school, so we're going to hang out with my friend Jessica and her boys at the park. No soccer this week and next weekend is the last weekend! HOORAY! Looking forward to having a break from that. Sam is going to play next season (Jan-Mar), but Cais has decided to try something else....gymnastics perhaps?
We miss and love you all!

Sorry to hear about the windows, but it sounds like everything else is good. I am so glad for you that your financing has not been a problem. When is the house supposed to be complete? It sounds like it is pretty close. The whole park thing sounds great, it's getting too cold here for the park. I wasn't really ready to do another winter, so the cold is not my best friend. I miss you.
Cais was telling me the story about the cars last night, but I almost didn't believe her. I just couldn't imagine that someone would break windows and not taking anything from the inside. It's just so weird that they broke the windows on both cars. It truly sucks. You have a right to grumble! :)
What a bummer! When I was a kid, the thing the naughty boys did was mailbox smashing! The windows are way more expensive! Glad to hear things are going smoothly with the house stuff...how exciting! Thanks for the update!
Miss you, too.
Bummer about the car windows man! Glad to hear that things are going well with the house stuff though. Patty and I will be getting ready for what you're going through this Summer. Shannon graduates High School and we are going to put our house up for sale and move out that way to be in Amadeo territory.
Kinda makes things feel unsafe, don't you think? I don't know why people are dumb like that. Well I am glad all else is going well.
Much Love
That is a bummer. Seriously. I'm sorry to hear that.
