WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS

The kids are now in the shower getting ready for church. Kaylee is excited about the Birthday party for Jesus. They will play games etc...

Titus on the other hand really doesn't care for that sort of thing, too much activity.

He'll do OK though because we have wonderful people there to handle the kids.

Only three more days of school left until break. This means I better wrap lots of gifts the next couple of days so I'm not doing it on Christmas Eve.

I have all kinds of things I'd like to do for the season like bake cut out cookies, make some paper cutout ornaments and decorate some more eggs.

Today I went to Once Upon a Child with a bunch of stuff and they bought everything I took in. I had iceskates, a Build a Bear, doll house, foam puzzle, Tot-Loc chair, brand new diapers(cloth), a board game, ballet slippers, two books, you get the idea just a bunch of different stuff. The best part was the $40 some dollars they gave me in exchange...hope to take more in soon!

Carmel Corn disappointment!!

What a huge disappointment, both batches turned out grainy---ugh!!! Too bad teachers are getting it anyway. It'll still taste good but what a bummer. Steven finally has his facebook up- yeah!! It'll be good for him to post something now and then.

I've only got to assemble the teacher's gifts and plan on delivering them early. I still have to make the ornaments. I am doing egg ornaments from the green eggs our precious little easter egger chickens are laying!!

Christmas Cantata

Well here it is the night before our Christmas Cantata and I can't believe this month is nearly half over. Tonight was Steven's work Christmas party at the Elcona Country Club but he has been sick since last night:(

It's OK because the party just started an hour ago and I've been ready for bed for longer than that.

I took the kids out shopping for a bit just to get some odds and ends like ribbons and bows. I also picked up some very fine white glitter for the egg ornaments I plan on decorating. We are getting one to two eggs per day that are green. I've been blowing them out because I just can't bring myself to bust 'em up. The brown eggs really are pretty too, all different shades of brown. Some are even a bit pink looking.

Tomorrow after church I plan on making carmel corn for the teachers' gifts - then I can get those gathered together.
