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!

THE OLD BLUE BUS

AHH...the old blue bus

What fun we had camping in it- before the days of the Layton trailer.

I am working on my brother's

birthday present. Mom said he likes the pincushion I made her of the Layton,and he's always talking about the bus. She suggested a pincushion but I'm kicking around the idea of covering a photo album or perhaps a mini sewing kit with scissors, thread, needles etc...Roger does do his own mending. I know a pincushion would work out and be less work and I could make it so he could hang it if he likes.

Decisions, decisions tsk.tsk.

I was able to get some work done on my algebra this morning, would have been nicer if I wouldn't have gotten half of them wrong. I thought I had a pretty good handle on it, so I guess it means I need more practice. I've already selected several pages to work on tomorrow.

We have been very busy this week, running every night. Tomorrow night is the sweetheart spaghetti dinner at church, so I can't wait until Saturday it'll be a break to stay put. Sunday after church is the Adult Bible Fellowship luncheon and we're committed to bringing rolls so that is one project that I'll definately be working on Sat.

I have been busy updating my blogroll and am itching to start some new projects, but that probably won't happen too soon.

Titus has made remarkable strides this week, it looks as though there is hope in getting him off babyfood. He turns 5 in April so it's about time. With autism you just can't rush some things. You have to pick your battles. Tonight he ate ham and pineapple. You can tell when he likes something because he hums while chewing. First time for ham, last week he had pancakes another first, he also had real spaghetti(with sauce and burger). tonight he even said "try again" asking for more ham. Kindergarten next year will be a real challenge, and we have the choice of half or full day. Chances are very good that we'll be allowed to ease him into the full day thingy. If we wait til first grade it would probably be a disaster.

anyway I'm hitting the sack so maybe I can get an early start tomorrow.
