Crazy, Busy in the Guillen HOusehold

Lately we have been so busy its not even funny. I think in the end we will need a mini vacation from all this crazyness. Let me name a couple of the things we have been up to. First of all, work has been busier than ever (which is nice because my checks are bigger)but it would be nice to have a break of 1-2 minutes between my calls to at least catch my breath or to just have a drink of water. Second, Jorge has taken 4 classes in school and is busy with homework, hopefully he will be graduating at this time next year with his bachelors degree in business. Third, OUR BASEMENT!!! Am I aloud to scream!!! J/k it has been alot of work, it has taken all our free time, our precious weekends go by so fast because we are working in it all day. Yesterday we finally finished painting. Next week buy doors, molding, and more paint for those things. Hopefully saturday we will continue installing electrical outlets and switches so that we can hook up the lights. We need to finish some tile and put up the doors and moldings. We have an installation date of December 3rd for the carpet. So a few more weeks of crazyness and we should be done. The bathroom won't be finish just yet but it will be done in the next few months. Fourth, Braden and Kaylee are doing very good in school. Kaylee has reached her reading goal she is reading with an AR 7.0. She has done very good with school this last term. Braden is getting almost perfect scores in his tests. It amazes me because he started the year kind of slow and not knowing how to do things and now he works fast and knows what he is doing. He loves to do homework. My afternoons are busy with homework, dinner, reading and spending time with my family. It has really been some crazy months but I think we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.Kaylee started attending Activity Days and she absolutely loves it. Just this Friday they had Recognition Night and they did a Hotwheels race. She got to go with her dad and decorate a hotwheels car and race it. She got a certificate for Most Delightful. She was so excited for this activity. And last but not least, my calling!! I am the Relief Society Activities coordinator and have been for the last 4 months. It has been fun planning activities. The biggest activity that I have been planning has been the Christmas Dinner. In about 2 1/2 weeks we are having this dinner. I dream about it, I think of it all day, its constantly on my mind. I just hope and pray that everything turns out as planned and that we have a good number of sisters come. Once its over I can focus more in having christmas for my family. This year I am going to be one of those last minute shoppers. Can I say that I haven't even started christmas shopping? So wish me luck its going to be frustrating but at least I know what my kids want so I don't think it will be that bad.
This has been a little catch up with what we have been up to. Hope you enjoyed it!!
