Decking the halls :)

We pent the last half of the week getting the house all decked out for Christmas. Monkey spent the night early in the week. Midget and I couldn't take it anymore, so we broke out the Chritmas village. It's one of our favorite things. We got the first few houses almost 15 years ago from hubby's mom. They were his grandma'. She actally made them. It's nice howing the kids her initialson the buildngs. We got the tree up, and the lights up outside. We even added a few pieces. o the halls are getting decked for xmas!! It's all so exciting, and the kids can hardly wait for christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hope all have a good Thanksgiving!

Twilight...aahhhh

I went and saw the new Twilight movie this morning. Wow....ahh... Edward. I think there was too much Jacob. I have to say i like the whole Bella and Edward love story side. So all this werewolf nonsense, not so much. IT is too much unrequited love for my taste. I loved all the Edward parts. I think i will absolutely love the next one, so i can't wait for that. Midget is thrilled to learn that her Taylor, is dating my taylor from my books.
we are going to go see planet 51 and Blind side this week on the break. Woohoo a week out of school!!!

Boards and Ballerina's

Here are some new pics for dad of the little ones. Who aren't so little anymore!! Monkey is jumping in dance class, and it is so funny to watch her. She is doing really well though. You can't tell but she is alot younger than the other ones. She is doing well, and is practicing for her open house. She loves the helpers in there. Poor midget has to sit and wait, with all the girls running around. I imagine in a few years he wouldn't mind that so much. He spends the time drawing. A good outlet. Of course all is fair, she has to wait through tae kwan do. :)
He made these video's for you too :)

Fun weekend for all!

We all had a good weekend. Midget got to go to her ballet friends bday party at build-a-bear. She had such a good time, and they each got to make an animal. She, of course, picked a horse. She is looking forward to going over to her friend's house soon. They have 18 acres and a horse! Midget will be latched on for life now. she was quick to tell her mom, that she knows how to take care of the horses as she learned this at horse camp. :) When we got home monkey nwas thrilled that his friend wanted him to spend the night. So he got to have some friend time too. Midget and i went to eat mexican food and snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie. Some girl time :)
We spent sunday cleaning the house, it needed it! A nice relaxing, but fun weekend!!
P.s. She lost her other front tooth!!

T.G.,I.F.

IT's friday!!! Woohoo!! Only one more week until thanksgiving break!! I don't know who is more excited the kids or me. Then we get to start all the fun christmas stuff. I can't wait! They have been dying to go see the new christmas carol movie, but i refuse to see it before thanksgiving. That's just wrong. We are so looking forward to seeing the new movie the blind side also. It's about a woman who takes in a homeless teen. He ends up being awoderful guy, and a pro football player. IT has tim McGraw in it too :) The commercials make me cry, should be good. The kids want to see it too. A good learning lesson for them i think.
The weather has been amazing, i hear it will get hot tomorrow, and then cool off again. I would love some sweater weather though.
Should have some good pics this weekend. Lots going on, parties with some friends at build a bear. I'm sure monkey will be learning to tricks on his board. He's working hard on it.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Skate contest and the Zoo

We have had a busy couple days!! We had the 1st grade field trip to the zoo. I helped chaperone so we had our group of girls. They nwere sweet. They got a little whiny and tired after a while. It's alot of walking for little legs. Midget got to ride the bus for the first time ever. She was excited, but she rode hom with me. We had some girl time before picking monkey up from school.
Friday night i found out the skate contest i had planned on taking monkey to was much bigger than i thought, and might sell out. So we ran over there to get tickets.
It worked out well, he got to skate with some pros!! They also premiered a movie about a skate pro who had died named tim brauch. So we went to the big skate jam. My mom watched midget so we could go. It was an all day thing with tons of freebies. We must havv gotten 30 stickers, 6 tshirts, lots of autographs. He was in heaven. Those guys were so nice to him. They all helped him learn tricks. So he had the best day ever. That was worth it. All th money went to the make a wish foundation. They raised over 100,000 dollars!
