This week just keeps getting better and better...

Never a dull moment in the Hagen household...within the past 5 days it feels like we've been on a roller coaster that I wouldn't mind stopping for a breather! 
~Monday was a pretty normal day for us girls...we went to the library group we regularly participate in, picked up a few books and then did some quick shopping. 
~Tuesday we spent most of the day at home coloring and playing until it was time to finally get out and VOTE!  I hope you all did the same.  That Tuesday evening, we found out that daddy was getting recalled from Coast Guard.  Not great timing but it could be a lot worse.  So off to New Orleans he'll be heading to for 60 days.  Since our house hasn't had any bites yet, we'll get to hang out in WI a little longer and decide where and who to spend the coming holidays with.
~Wednesday we cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more getting the house ready for open house #2.  It was scheduled for 5:00 -7:00 pm to catch the folks coming home from work.  This worked out great for us schedule wise since we had our second TumbleBugs class to go to.  Morgan is having a blast in this class and it was well worth the $22 enrollment fee!! The open house didn't go as well as hoped with only one family visiting that couldn't afford it.  Well, at least we got SOMEBODY in the door! 
~Thursday Morgan and I decided it was a good day to get out of the house again.  I had an Antique Portrait  scheduled for her in the morning that was a fundraiser for the local MOPS (Moms of Preschool Students) group.  After a quick 15 minute photo shoot, we headed to La Crosse for some lunch with one of my old co-workers.  Sounds like nothing has changed there...same folks making work unbearable for everyone else.  I sure don't miss the stress from there!  Well, on our way back home, I spoke to my aunt who heard through the grapevine that Larry wasn't going to be around for the holidays and offered up some of her frequent flyer miles for Morgan and I to fly to South Dakota for Christmas.  This was a great offer and I always love to head home for a visit.
~Friday...well, we were waken up by our regular daddy phone call but found out that there is a little more to his mom's medical condition than she's been leading on to and there is the potential that she'll need to come to MN to get an apointment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.  The only thing holding her back is no-one to take her or be with her.  Of course, Morgan and I are available for that so we'll see what happens.  It may change our holiday plans so thankfully we haven't bought a ticket yet!  To get our minds off the chaotic scheduling to come, we took off to Tomah to go play at the Cranberry Lodge's swimming pool.  Morgan always loves to play and slide and swim there.  Play Shoppe was cancelled today so it was a great alternative to get Morgan out and socialize with kids and practice her swimming.

So, there you have it...our crazy life the past week and I have a feeling it's not even close to being done or settled. Stay tuned for more updates and hopefully get some fun stuff on here soon!!!
