Not that great of a picture. But my friend Brandi and her daughter Brianna came and had dinner and we exchanged gifts. Brandon got a Furby, Ben got some Dora/Diego playdoh, Faith got some weebles, Josh got some choc and schnapps, and I got a basket full of coffees. We had a blast the kids picked up like it hadnt been months. That was great. Still didnt make it till Midnight though. Not that strong.

Can we rest now?

Well this is the first time I have had since Christmas Eve. We had a WONDERFUL time. We have been everywhere and done everything. We got back from Josh's parents yesterday afternoon and had to jump back into our lives. The house was a super mess. We opened presents Christmas Day here and then off we went to grandmas and poppy's. The boys had fun and wwwaaayy too much sugar and not enough sleep. We are paying now. Ben has had a fever and a really bad cough since we got back home. Hope it goes away after some much needed rest. Trying to clean the house we will have alot of company over the next two weeks. Alot going on. This is a picture of Faith acting like she is driving we were stopping for gas. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and actually makes a resolution they can stick with. Me and Josh are.

Well here it is complete. And it only took me hhhhmmmm 5 whole days. But that is ok it is beautiful to look at for the next few weeks. And now I have somewhere besides my closet to put some gifts. I once again let myself get overwhelmed and finally just dug in. I got the tree up, the downstairs cleaned, and the laundry caught up. It is so easy to get overwhelmed taking care of five people in this house. I literally do it all most days. Brandon and Ben are starting to help a little. But just because I stay home I dont want it to be all about cleaning all the time. I stay home to be with my kids to spend time playing games, reading books, having pillow fights, making tents in the living room. I need to keep reminding myself of that. That is what the kids are gonna remember.

Brandon had his "Winter Festival" program last night. It was crazy but cute. There are 275 students in his school and only 700 people could fit where the program was being held. Over 1400 people wanted to come so they had to divide the program in half. The total program (all grades) was to be from 6:30 until 7:45. We were leaving at 7:45. Hope everyone got there homework done before hand. Any ways each class sang three songs. Brandon did very well except while seated he doesnt like to sit still for too long. He has decided he doesnt like wearing a tie it chokes him.

WHAT!!!!!

I use to be able to like leave her in a room by herself and do what I needed to. Not now she can get into anything now. This morning I was getting ready for the day and we have a gate upstairs to keep her from falling down the stairs. So all of a sudden it is quiet and I go look for her. She had gotten on her belly flat and crawled under the gate. Not good we have like 12 steps so now gotta fix that one. In this drawer I use to keep my aluminum foil. Not now. And she is like thinking she is getting away with something. Sneaky sneaky.

What a way to start the week. First nothing like getting started late in the morning. Had a million phone calls to make. Josh has to scedule all of his vacation before January, so that means I have to scedule all appointments early too. Had to scedule yearly appoinments, dentist appointments, and anything I need to do while Josh has a sceduled day off. At his work you have to have proof you sceduled something in order for them to let you keep your day off when the time comes. Crazy I know.
Then I get a phone call from Brandons school at 11:30 (4th call this year) that he has fallen on his face from the monkey bars. Well I talked him in to staying which I didnt see what he looked like, then felt bad when I picked him up from school. His whole side of his face is bruised and scratched up. Glad it happened at school no telling what they would think happened to him if it happened at home. And now the poor guy has a headache. And its only Monday. I have a swimming lessons tomorrow, a christmas party tomorrow, a Christmas program Wed, swimming lessons Thursday, a christmas party thursday, and lots and lots of cooking. Whew man I'm tired. Tis the season.
