Hey everyone! I thought I better update this so that I don't get locked out. I am at home today and working on a bunch of odds and ends. The kids have no school today and they are playing "Christmas!" It's really a great day! Well, we've been busy here, and I'm a fan of lists because I can't quite phrase things the way all of you can. So, here it is.
Things that have happened since I blogged last...
- We finished our house
- We moved into our house!!!!
- We had Thanksgiving...(14 for dinner) This includes the surprise visit from Chris & Cassie & Cam!! What a blast! Mom & Dad came, Brett & Julia, and Curt & Vonnie, oh, and us, of course. The turkey didn't turn out all that great, but the rest was yummy! I think I had cooks syndrome.
- Mom broke her wrist when she slipped on the ice at my house. She fell and hit her head on a rock and caught herself with her left hand. We all thought it was just a sprain until it started swelling up that night. What a trooper! Mom & I drove into Redmond at about 9 pm and saw a doctor that told her she would probably need surgery. Yikes! I was hoping it would turn out that she would need to stay here to recouperate, but that didn't work out so good. I guess she will not need surgery, and she will be going back to AZ tonight. She gets to wear a sling for 3 weeks and a cast for 2. How rotten. Sorry mom!
- Fall decorations went up for the week, and now we are decorating for Christmas. We put some stuff up one night after the kids went to bed and when they woke up you would have thought it was Christmas! They were so excited! I have never seen them so excited. They have been playing Christmas ever since. What fun ages they are this year!
- I was in charge of the Halloween party, and now the Christmas party is tommorrow! No stress! Just a little Christmas around the world. I hope it all comes together.
- Sydney lost 2 teeth. The first one came out awhile ago. The rotten tooth-fairy was running late though. She didn't deliver the goods until Sydney got up and told us the toothfairy didn't come, tearily. The second one came out about an hour ago and has been hanging on by a thread for over a week. Exciting! Hopefully the rotten tooth-fairy won't forget this time!
- The boys had their first choir performance...twirling a flag in a parade. It was really cute even if it sounds dorky. They told me they wanted to join choir this year and I was really baffled. They hardly sing in church! So, I signed them up, and they then told me that they signed up because there was supposed to be a pizza party and a field trip to Eugene. Silly boys. Tommorrow they perform at the Redmond Festival of Trees. It should be pretty cool. I'll try to post some pictures finally!
Anyway, that is what we've been up to. I'm trying to catch up on work and my calling today. I probably should get back to that.
Love you all!
