Well I have SO MUCH to post about but it seems my laptop has died. I had started a post to schedule on Monday and to make a long story short ..... it will have to come another day.
Our laptop was SO convenient to post from and now I am resorting to our other computer and it is old and set in it's ways. Seriously it has a mind of it's own and that is one reason my saved post won't be posted anytime soon.

Anyways, a quick update on what's going on around here:

~ We are ready for Christmas... as in all gifts are purchased and wrapped and under our tree :) Well except for the BIG present but we can't wrap that and there may be a scavenger hunt to find it on Christmas morning.

~ We had our Children's play last Sunday night and the kids did so good. I was so proud of each and every one of them. This year both my boys were in it and they both had a solo. They did so great and brought tears to my eyes. I am SO PROUD of the sweet sweet boys they are!!

~ Baby A has caught on to the whole Christmas gift idea. Right now she is asking for this:
* a blue puppy
* a pink and a blue baby
* a barbie doll
*and a ball.

My boys are asking for this:
Scooter:
* stilts
* trash pack (have the slightest idea what this is)
* and of course pokemon games

Rascal:
* Scooby Doo play set
* pogo stick
* monsunos
* Pokemon games

We got them all at least one thing off their list and lots of things that weren't on their list but know they will LOVE!!

~ Monday was a rough day..... We found out of laptop died, Tim had a flat tire on the way to work, I had a good size deer jump out in front of me (thankfully I missed her)...Side note: since having that one deer hit me back in the summer, I am COMPLETELY PARANOID of them now! moving on... I had to run to the grocery store and get groceries and then come home, unload them, clean house, do laundry and start baking.When I got home from the grocery store, I realized I had my shirt on backwards... I could only laugh at that point.

~ Scooter beat everyone in his class and now moves on to the school wide spelling bee! We are so very proud of him. I'll try to get pictures during the spelling bee next week.

~ A funny conversation (the scene... dinner with all 5 of us around the table)
Both boys are making yummy sounds and saying how great dinner was.
Tim: Boys when you get older and are looking for a wife, you make sure to find one exactly like your mother.
Scooter: I already have a girl I like Dad
Tim: Well is she just like your mother?
and without any hesitation at all Scooter turns to me and says: Mom were you dramatic when you were a kid?
 HA! I nearly choked on my food and Tim and I both died laughing!  If you knew me as a child then you know that I was the definition of dramatic!!
Tim response: Yes she was son, yes she was!

~ Baby A was in my bathroom the other day playing in my stuff while I did my make-up. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw she was mimicking every move I made and pretending to put make up. She had an empty compact and one of my brushes and was very concerned about getting her make-up just right. Finally she says to me... "Mommy do it?" I replied yes I am putting on my make-up.  She tells me then.. "no mommy put some on me!!" So I knelt down, took her empty compact and brush and pretended to put make-up on her. It was the best and something I have always dreamed of doing with my little girl!

~ Rascal is ALWAYS into his appearance. It may not be the best looking outfit but the boy knows how he wants to look and makes sure his hair looks good, shoes match his outfit and he always double checks his hair in my rear view mirror before getting out of the van to go to school. One day his librarian was on car line duty and she was standing there as they got out of the van. As the boys walked away she turned to me and told me that Rascal was the heart breaker of his class. Apparently there are 3 girls who like him and when he is in library, they follow his every move. The librarian told me he really doesn't give them much attention but they still fight over who will sit next to him. Oh heaven help us. I can only imagine what the next 12 + years are going to be like!

~ I finished my crocheted infinity scarf! I love it and I have a picture only it was on the laptop and so now it is gone. I'll try to load it to this computer and post the picture but I make no promises. This computer doesn't do what it is told!

~ All three kids are coming down with colds. I am giving them vitamins, washing hands and trying to keep them resting when they get home from school (key word is TRYING). Last year we had NO sickness on Christmas and I am praying we can make this the second year in a row with out sick kids.
