guess who....

got braces?...Jake. He was so excited to get them on yesterday. Not sure how excited he will be in a week when the novelty has worn off! We were not home for more than a 1/2 hour and Jake comes to tell me that one of the braces is off his tooth. Sure enough...so I guess we get to go back to the Ortho today. Such a fun and exciting life I lead, huh?
Hey, can someone give this kid a haircut? Geesh what's wrong with his mother?

Merry Christmas

Still feeling like a bah humbug this year...not good. Hopefully tomorrow I will get in the spirit since I only have to work half day and then I am off until Monday! :)

If I were having a dinner party, I would want my table to look like this...but since I am not having one....could someone else have one and decorate your table like this? Thanks.... ;)

We stayed at Paradise Point in San Diego for Tanner's last Pop Warner football game - ever. He has played for the last seven years! I cannot believe he will be a freshman next year, hopefully playing freshman football. It is going to be so hard not seeing all of the football families anymore, as so many of the boys are going on to different high schools...we have had so much fun with them! Tanner scored on a fumble...the first defensive play of the game! It was very exciting to watch. I, of course, forgot my camera and I have no pictures from his last game, nor did I take any pictures during the season? What's wrong with me?

Anyway, the resort was nice, the kids had fun swimming in the heated pool...Jake had so much fun that he feel asleep with his head on my lap at dinner Saturday night. I think he had too much fun swimming.

We got home and the kids wanted to get a Christmas tree...normally I go to Home Depot for a tree but they dry out so fast! We went to Peltzer Pines and cut one down- hopefully it will last a little longer. I left the house this morning with Christmas boxes everywhere...not done decorating! Now the kids will want presents to go under that tree!

Christmas is usually my favorite time of year, but this year I can’t seem to get excited about it. The thought of lugging all my same ole’ decorations out again seems overwhelming. I am tired of the things I have, can’t afford to buy any new, we are limited in the placement of the tree and you know what really bugs me? Is that I get tired of seeing the decorations up after about a week!…then the thought that I have to pack it all away again- NOT FUN. Do I sound bah humbug or what??!

I hope I snap out of it soon, because my kids keep asking when I am going to start decorating….
