CHRISTMAS

Christmas day has come and gone.I can hardly believe it. The days seem to all blur together. Christmas Eve was a blast as we hung out with good friends sledding and eating and laughing.We had a long but wonderful Christmas day with Nathan's family. The food was good, the company was good and the kids got a tonne of stuff. I also got to talk on the phone with my bro and his wife who are in France so that was awesome.
Got a message from my sis in Hawaii, and talked to my momzy yesterday.
The kids (and I) have been spoiled by Kayla and Kurtis. They took them out for lunch, then took them swimming, then had a sleepover with them yesterday. It was so nice for me to have a little time to myself, and some time with JUST Nathan. That hasn't happened for quite a long time. I really appreciate Kayla and the effort she puts toward spending time with my over the top crazy kids on her days off when she could be catching up on much needed sleep or spending time with her hubbie. She really is wonderful.
We are anxiously counting down the days when Lindsay and her family get here. 3 more sleeps and then some more fun begins.
It has also been nice to sleep in and hang out with just MY OWN kids. No extras. And to wear my p.j.'s all day if I want. Sometimes I love to be lazy. I wish this week would go by slowly but I have a feeling it will be back to business all too fast.

SO CLOSE

Two more sleeps till Christmas. Not ready yet, but close. I have been so busy, I am a little bummed that the kids have been off school for 4 days already and we haven't done anything together. Hopefull next week we can enjoy each other's company. Tomorrow we are going to go sledding and have chinese food with good friends and then spend the evening together as a family playing games and tracking Santa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSAY!!!!! You are a hot mamma/sista!! Can't wait to see you!

NOT NEARLY ORGANIZED

So we are in the new house!!! Hurray for that! We also finally have Internet hooked up and I have about ten minutes to jot a few things down. First, moving SUCKS!! I hope I don't have to move for a VERY long time. I still haven't put a dent in the unpacking.......maybe Christmas break it will get tackled. I haven't even started Christmas shopping. I am just so busy. I am excited to have a few days of just my family and me, NO EXTRA KIDS. Can't wait for Kayla and Kurtis to get here on Tuesday and then we are all very excited for Lindsay and her family to get here on the 30th.
The weather hasn't been too terribly cold (knock on wood) and we have lots of snow. Which is fun for the kids.
There are soo many things I need to write down before I forget but I don't have the time......I might have to do multiple postings a day.
Back later.
