Christmas and Christmas eve update.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, ours was really nice. During the day on Christmas Eve, we got a few things done around the house and got my moms car unburied from all the snow. She hadn't touched it since it started snowing a week and a half ago. So Blue plowed out the alley way, including the 3 1/2' berm at the end of the alley. Then we hooked the car up to the 4 wheeler and after a few initial mishaps we got it pulled out and took it around to the front of the garage and put the chains on it.

For Christmas eve we went to the early service at my church, it was very snowy out so all 5 of us rode in the truck (my mom, uncle, Blue, Bug and I), it was pretty hairy but we got there OK. Then we came home and cooked up the pizza and after dinner we opened our stockings. Bug got a bunch of books a new Wii game and a Leapster game and some movies, Blue got some movies, his annual new wallet, some little gadgets for skiing and a new Wii game and I got 2 new CD's, 2 new Wii games and some gift cards for Starbucks and Borders. After stockings we played on the Wii a bit and headed to bed.

Blue had to work Christmas day and had already headed out before Bug and I got up around 8:00. We then hung out for a bit then woke up Uncle and mom and started brunch, we finished up around 11 and Bug went to play and I watched part of a show and then we got ready and headed over to our friends Bryan and Brenda's house for a bit. We hung out there for a couple of hours and Blue was able to stop in on one of his layovers. It was nice just to hang out and let the kids run around, Their Bug got a cool game called Hullabaloo, which is kind of a modern version of Twister but for little kids, it had to be quite a site to watch when Brenda and I started playing it with the boys, it was a ton of fun.

We headed back home just after 3 and got home in time to finish up the pot roast, Blue came home and we all ate dinner and then sat down and open presents. I got a new digital picture frame and Blue got part 1 & 2 of season 6 of the Sopranos and Bug got too much stuff to mention. Also my sister got us the Aerosmith version of Rock star which Blue ended up playing until way to late. It was a great day overall and I was so impressed with Bug, he never once asked to open gifts and didn't even complain about having to wait until after 5:00 at night to open gifts. Got to love that little boy.

A day at the fair.

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. ...
