New Year's Eve

Well, it's New Year's Eve. The day starts off, I'm trying to sleep in and the kids are yelling and crying for breakfast. Like they can't wait 5 minutes. Sheesh! It's only 9:00! hahaha! So, I get up and make them some frozen pancakes and milk. A little later I'm on Dallas Area Moms and bouncing between that and Eastside Mom's and checking in here to see if any new comments have been made. I know...get a life. hehe! So, then I got bored and decided to take a bath and just as I was about to get out the kids come running and say that someone is at the door. Well crap! I have to find my robe and I have my hair wrapped up in a towel. Lovely. I go to the door and it's the person that I made a meal for because she just had a baby, returning the dish I left at her house a while back. She looked at me and said sorry I came at a bad time and I said no, I shouldn't have been taking a bath in the middle of the afternoon. We said our thank you's and she left. I go to put the stuff up and she had put a thank you note inside with some homemade gourmet stuff. A cider mix and an ambrosia muffin mix. Yum! The hubby came home early from work and we played Jr. scrabble with the kids. It was fun. We made oven fry pork chops, potatoes au-gratin, and corn for dinner and a little later I made the muffins. Really good. They kind of had an orangey flavor to them. The kids are in bed now and the hubby and I are going to watch "The Prestige" from blockbuster in a little while, kiss and say "Happy New Year!" and go to bed. Happy 2008 Everyone!!

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas and the kids got everything they wanted, us too and no complaints. Whoo Hoo! Here are a few pics. from Christmas morning...

Cookies For Santa

We made cookies for "Santa" last night. It was loads of fun! Jake cracks me up. I had to keep telling him "don't lick the knife". hehe!

McDonalds Playdate

I met a friend up at McDonalds today. We had fun. Just talked and watched the kids play. I told them not to take their socks off and they did it anyway. Gross! They said they couldn't climb up with socks because they are slippery. Whatever! I think this is going to be the longest two weeks because the kids are out of school and i'm already going crazy. It's like they have to be entertained every minute. Help!! If I'm going to have to go crazy, I want someone to do it with. Anyone?? What cha wanna do?

Nicholas' Doctor Visit

I took Nicholas to the doctor today. His teachers at MDO said that he has been crying when he's in line waiting to go to lunch and saying that his legs feel wiggly. (I guess that means shakey) and he has to go lay down because he doesn't feel well. They have P.E. before lunch. This has happened 3 or 4 times so, I decided it was time to go and see what this is about. The doctor said it could be hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and recommended he have some blood drawn. When Nicholas gets in the chair he says "Is that a needle?" and his eyes get big and starts crying but, he sat there and let them do it and the crying didn't last long. He did good. Now we just need to wait for the results. Diabetes runs in the family especially for the boys so I hope everything comes back okay. I will keep ya updated.

UPDATE: The blood tests came back and everything looks good!

The Boys' MDO Christmas Program

Friday night was Nicholas and Jake's Christmas program at MDO. Jake's was at 6:00 and Nicholas' was at 7:00. Jake was nervous at first and putting his fingers in his mouth but, once it started he sang and was doing the motions and he was on the left side of the stage and we were sitting on the left. He was really getting into "Jingle Bells". He's been practicing that one at home over and over and over. hehe! We didn't know where Nicholas was going to be on stage but, he was smack dab in the middle and all we saw was the side of his head and every time he was finished with a song he would turn to us and wave. It was funny. haha! Oh! The five year olds were the best with their version of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas". hehe! The lord was really leaping, the ladies (lady) was really dancing and the maid was really milking. She had a latext glove blown up and was pulling the fingers. You had to be there. It was hilarious. I took lots of pictures but, none of them turned out. Wah!

Sneak Peek

I took the kids to Harry Myers park in Rockwall and took some pictures for everyone's Christmas Cards. Here's a sneak peak. I think they turned out pretty cute!
