What have we been up to, you ask?

Well Travis ended up canceling his trip to Ohio and stayed home from work on Friday. This meant he got to go with Kaylee and I to Mykenzie's school for her Thanksgiving lunch. The food was, uh school food, but it was fun. It is always fun to see how your kids are at school with their friends.

We have a date for Mykenzie's braces and palate expander. She will be getting them both on January 7th. I hope this is all she will end up needing done so she doesn't have braces from the time she is 8 till she is done with middle school. That would be a long time for that. If all goes well she will be done with everything in 10-12 months and the palate expander will be done in 3. Fingers crossed.

On Thursday Chandra came over and we spent the day crafting Christmas gifts :) It was so much fun. I think I may be addicted. I have been doing it ever since (and some before then) I still have a couple things I want to do but it seems like every time I turn around I am picking up a new idea and making something else.

Today I spent parts of the day doing laundry and parts making vinyl lettering for my house! Another addiction that could be hard to break. I will post pics another time. My camera battery is charging so... Plus one of the things is for Christmas and well, it looks cute all by it's lonesome it will look cuter once the rest of the decorations are in place, which will either be this coming weekend or the Wed. before Thanksgiving. We shall see. Personally I want to go get them NOW and put them up! So some of it could be done before the weekend. I bought a ton (seriously like 20 boxes) of new ornaments with at least 4-8 ornaments per box, after Christmas last year so I CAN'T wait to see what my tree looks like this year with all my new pretty things :) If I remember correctly though I need to purchase some more lights for the tree this year.

I have way too many hobbies these days I don't know what to do with myself. It is funny because the thing that has suffered the most is my online time and I still manage to get online and do what I need to do. Guess I was just wasting time before. I haven't really scrapbooked in about a month either, well 1 LO but I don't know if you can only count 1. But I have managed to read a book (4 Blondes by Candace Bushnell, not that great) get a ton of crafts done, keep my house decent, spend time with friends and kids, have my DVR up to date, make and hang my vinyl lettering, ect... Are there suddenly more hours in the day because I certainly have not gotten better at time management. Oh we watched Kit Kittredge (American girl movie) and Get Smart this weekend too. We enjoyed both of them :)

The rest of the week will involve, getting ALOT of my Christmas shopping done, finishing up my outstanding craft projects, Get my Christmas cards written out (all but adding the pics that will be coming soon since I ordered them this weekend), lunch with friends, Thanksgiving program/lunch at Kaylee's school, oh and a few errands for good measure. And maybe pulling some Christmas decorations out of the attic.

Can you even believe how close the holidays are!! We only have 8 days till Thanksgiving! I guess I better go get my turkey!!! Christmas is now only 5 weeks away!! I am trying so hard to hold off on the Christmas music.... but I am singing "It's the Holiday Season"
