Fire! Fire! Fire!

Becky had a little issue with a grease fire today in the kitchen. I've attached a picture of the oven mitts that she put the flaming pan on.

Luckily none of the children were injured. She said she has some blisters on her arms, so she may be going to the doctor when I get home.

Can you believe she's to stuborn to go?! I'm working late tonight for 'month-end', so we'll see how bad it is when I get home...

OK, OK, it's been a while

Ok, ok, I know it's been a while since I wrote but with 3 little girls at home I don't always have as much free time as I would like. But I really wouldn't want it any other way.

I know the homepage says that my Mom is visiting but she has since come and gone. We had a nice visit but it figures that someone had to get sick. All of us did. We haven't had a solid night's sleep since 10/31! We've run the gamut of colds and flu, croup and congunctivitis, impetigo and strep throat. And that was all in the past 25 days! We're about due for some healthy days. I think that we are all on the mend now. Something to be thankful for this holiday season.

We are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with our Pastor and his family. I wasn't going cook this year. I just didn't feel like it and when Gabrielle heard about that, they invited us over. So I am making the turkey & stuffing, but they're doing all the other stuff. Seems like a fair trade to me.

Can you believe that it is only 30 days until Christmas! That means that we leave in only 25 days. We are going to Phoenix for the holidays. We will be spending it with Jeff's family. We are ALL looking forward to going and spending this special time with them. The girls have already been to see Santa at the mall and make their requests. Lily has her heart set on a cupcake maker (we already got it for her) and Callie really wants a Jack-in-the-Box, which we don't have for her yet. We haven't decided yet if we are going to ship the gifts we are giving them out to Phoenix only to ship them back, or give them to the girls before we leave. Ashley hasn't made any requests for Christmas yet this year. I think she'll be happy with the empty boxes and wrapping paper. :)

Check back in a few days as I hope to be better about my blogging.

Caylor family at Pilgrim Pines for Pumpkinfest 2008

We had a great time at Pilgrim Pines. We went up for Pumpkinfest in Keene, and although we had a good time at Pumpkinfest we had an even better time hanging out at the Pilgrim Pines facility. I think this will be a place our family will become very familiar with in the years to come.

We even 'crashed' a Praise service that a NY group was putting on. The girls enjoyed it, but were really to tired to hang-out very long and enjoy it. Lily and Callie watched a Disney movie downstairs with some of the other children. Ashley and I hung out a bit longer and listened and sang to some of the music.

Carol Bommhardt is working up there for the next year and we got to spend some quality time with her as well. We hope to see her there much more over the next year. Our church is also going to 'adopt' one of the cabins at Pilgrim Pines. The men's group has asked me to work on the coordination for this, which I will be happy to do.

Carol and Lily's Pumpkinfest Pumpkin

Well, it was really all Carol, but the two of them had a lot of fun working on this one. It was a lot of work, but was awesome when we lit it up with the candle at home.

This is all the kids that went Trick-or-Treating with the Caylor girls.

All dressed up for Halloween

We went to Kim and Karl's house to hang out and go Trick-or-Treating. I acutally had to work late that night, but was able to hang out when they got back from getting all their candy. Everyone had a great time.
