Messing with Me

Today is December 17th?

How in the world is it DECEMBER 17th?!

Someone must be messing with my calendars because there is no way it is December 17th.

What? No one is messing with me?

It is actually December 17th! Well then that means I'm running behind. WAY behind. Look at my to do list.

Hey, wait a minute all of that stuff is done. Today was the last day of school/work. I'm done! birthday treats check, school gifts check, and all of the above check. Believe me I have the hour and half of video to prove it.

Want to watch?

So with all that stuff done that means I get to kick back and relax.

Except! There is only 8 days left until Christmas. Two days until number one's 14th Birthday (Holy COW!) 3 days until number two's 12th Birthday (Freak!) and 11 days until number four's 8th Birthday (Sob!) and 14 days until number four's baptism (sob, sob, sob).

So really the things on the to do list left to do is longer than what has been done. MAN!!! Are you sure it is the 17th?

Fine! I believe you.

I guess I should give you warning that this coming week I have decided to break the rules and post all about my wonderful life. Okay, not so much my wonderful life but the wonderful kids I have been so blessed to raise. So if your not into the whole gushing, my kids are the best in the whole wide world, thing you might not want to read my blog.

However, I don't brag to much or at least I try not to and this coming week as part of our birthday celebrating I have decided to brag, brag, brag. Because no matter how stressed that I am that it is already December 17th!! they make all the stress totally worth it.

Happy Holidays

I brag and I complain because I blog for me. I don't care who else reads it.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
