Less than 20 days now! When I started counting down on here there were still 20 weeks! I have a counter in the footer of this blog now and I love it. I did some gift wrapping the other night for those who live far away. Now to find boxes to ship the stuff in. Chandra gave me one today so that is 1 down, 4 more to go :) I ordered some thing online for the 2 dads and I haven't gotten them yet and am getting very impatient about it. I want to get the gifts mailed soon and I need those in order to do it. Plus I am waiting on a picture so I can finish up a craft project for my MIL so I can get her stuff in the mail.
It has been an unusually busy weekend, tis the season for that though. On Friday night we went to our church's Christmas program. It was good, very different then I expected for sure. Preached without being preachy. It confused poor Kaylee to no end though. It was 2 angels trying to get to the birth of Jesus and in doing so they went through different time periods. One was the Elvis era where they were all talking about the king coming (the angels thought is was THE King) but it was of course Elvis. So Kaylee leans over and says, "Mommy is that REALLY a King?" Then another part they were at some blue grass thing and they were singing about Santa coming on a train and going choo choo train is coming. So she was very confused at this point and and says "So mommy, does Santa really come on a train or does he come on a sleigh?" Poor kiddo so confused but very happy when they finally found baby Jesus.
Saturday morning started with us out the door around 9am to head to a local nursing home to do a craft with the residents with our Girl Scout troop. Started out really irritating because 2 of the other leaders weren't there, 1 we knew way in advance that she wouldn't be there, the other called at 9:25 when we were meeting at 9:30! Freaking ridiculous. We only had 6 girls total come which is kind of sad because 2 of them were my kids and 2 of them were the other leaders kids, we have 19 girls in our troop. We made stockings with them to hang on their doors and it was nice. It is a little hard to be around old people like that when you aren't used to it. There was one lady wheeling herself around and saying "help me help me! I am all alone, I don't know what to do. Where do I go? Someone help me." I have always want to live to an old age to see my children grow and their children ect. And all of the old people I have ever known in my life still had their minds when they passed away in their 80's. If I have my mind I am happy to be alive but really if I am wheeling around a nursing home saying help me help me I'm all alone, I really just prefer to go home and be with the Lord. Some couldn't lift their hands, most couldn't write it is just really sad. We will take the girls back in Feb. to do another craft with them. It is good for the girls to be involved and they all enjoyed it.
After the nursing home was done we came home and had lunch and I whipped up a batch of deviled eggs real quick. Then Barbara came and picked up Mykenzie to take her to the moms group annual Christmas party to see Santa. I took Kaylee to her friend Avery's birthday party. They both started at 2:45 which I found strange. I asked Kaylee if she would rather go see Santa or to Avery's party and it was no contest at all. She loves Avery! She had a great time at Bounce U with all of her friends from school and Mykenzie had fun at the Christmas Party. I enjoyed chatting with the moms at the party but I wanted to be at the Christmas Party. This is the first one I have missed since I have been here and I am a bit bummed. They both wrapped up at the same time and Chandra brought Kenzie home for me, where I made a quick dinner for the fam and was out the door to get groceries for the shower today. I sat on my butt for the rest of the night, well I boiled eggs and cut veggies but that was it. I cleaned for a bit today but then just enjoyed the shower. I will eventually put all my furniture back where it belongs but for now I am just playing online waiting for Desperate Housewives and Brother's and Sister's to come on. I am especially looking forward to B&S tonight! Sooooo good. Now that my busiest weekend of the month is over with and most of my shopping is completed I don't know what I am going to do with myself now. Ha! I lie I have plenty to do but things will definitely seem slower now that some major things are over with. Travis' work Christmas party is Saturday. I have never been to it with him before so it will be interesting and I am not all that excited about it but I am sure in the end it will be fine. I just need to stop stressing! lol
I actually have no set plans for this week,till the weekend. Wow! I need to call a few friends I keep telling I am going to call and don't. Duh! Oh and I just found out that my friend Amy is coming to visit after Christmas for a few days. It has been 2 years since I have seen her so I can't wait to catch up! The next day Amber will be coming with her kiddos so that will be really fun too. Don't you just love Christmas time!!!
