Happy Holidays and snows to you.

Can you believe it is Dec 1st already? Thanksgiving went well around here, we ended up with 10 people after all, enough to feel festive but not too many to be crowded. Black Friday shopping went well, I even got myself a new laptop (which I am currently using to type this). I picked up a magic bullet for myself and a couple small gifts for Blue and Bug. Black Friday is mainly about pre Xmas gifts for me. My husband is not a big gift giver so this way i make sure i get at least a little something.

We have started the Christmas prep around here, we have up the tree but haven't finished decorating the rest of the house, maybe tomorrow. Bug went to a class where he made gifts for family and friends today. He has been sequestered in the office wrapping up his treasures since we got home over an hour ago. The 1st 2 have come out (for me of course, Bug is such the momma's boy). They are wrapped in baby shower tissue paper with 2 kinds of tape (about a roll a piece) and looked like they were unwrapped several times and re wrapped. Now how can you resist that? By the time he is done with all his gifts i will be out of every type of tape in the house, but at least they are cute. I can't wait to see what he made me.

Last year I took him to one of those Xmas centers where they take the kids in a back room and let them shop and wrap presents for their parents, then i couldn't wait to see what he had gotten us. It was so cute he bought his dad and me matching airplanes "so that we could play airplanes together". Gotta love him!

Well i am pretty much done with the xmas shopping at this point except for my mom and my uncle, niether of whom do i have any ideas for. But i figure something will come to me, eventually. My husband is planning on getting Bug an ATV for xmas and we have also discussed getting him a dog, so I guess it will be a big Xmas for him. He also figured out the whole santa thing this year. I was asking his about Santa last month and he said "He's just a guy in a costume, isn't he momma?" So I agreed he was, I have never been a big fan of the whole santa thing anyway. So I was pretty happy that he figured it out so simply, no fuss no muss. At this point he isn't making a point of telling other kids, so hopefully i won't havve any mommies yelling at me for letting him find out. I guess we will see.

Have a great weekend.

A day at the fair.

Image
We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha ...

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up ...

Friends at last

My buddy Kat and her girls ended up coming to town after all. They got in at 1:30 this morning. We all got up around 9:00 and spent the day shopping, playing in the fountain at the park downtown, riding the sky ride, then we went and got Mani/Pedi's, so fun! Tomorrow we are headed out to the water park for the day. Yea! It is so nice to have her over, she even dyed my hair for me this eve. I think it turned out cute, it's hard to tell for sure until you wash and style it the way you normally do. It only took me just short of 3 years to get her to come over and visit me, but with all her complaints about the drive I am sure it will be another 3 years before she comes back, but I sure am happy that she is here now. Our bad news for the day is that our oven went kaput. My husband was cooking up Lasagana and it was taking forever. I checked on it and mentioned that the oven didn't feel very hot and so when he checked it 15 min later he realized that the element went out on it. ...
