The Holidays in a Flash!
Christmas morning. The boys in their new bathrobes showing off their christmas booty! Santa brought zeke a new guitar, and Reuben, a Rock Tumbler. (it's knocking around right now in the basement. Did you know that those things have to tumble for several weeks??)
I feel as though the last month has completely evaporated. We've done so much around here that it's been a complete blur! Christmas, NewYears, birthday parties, house renovations...(we finally got that disgusting carpeting out of here!!)
It came out easily, but the underpadding was a total mess. Little sticky green bits everywhere, we had to use putty knife and vegetable oil to remove it.
Unfortunately, while SOME us were busy working (ahem..) a UFC match broke out.
Reuben won the first match with a "full nelson" (whatever the heck that means) and Mark won the second match with an "arm bar". Zeke finally got annoyed with their lack of participation in working on the floor, and decided to go play ref.
Half a gallon of vegetable oil and two really sore backs later, we finally finished in time for the floor to be all sparkley for our new years eve bash.We were horrid parents and allowed our children to stay up until midnight, and ring in the new year by running up and down the sidewalk with sparklers.
They'll live.
Now that this is all over, we get to dive into wedding plans! Exciting, but yikes, it's only 4 months away!!
*DEEP BREATH*
I'd better get crackin;)

Christmas Thought of the Day - 1/4/10
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
Special Effects to Make Every Gift Original
Here are some easy and inventive ways to make every gift unique:
Give gifts character. For special presents, make tags from scratch. Use cookie cutters as a template and trace onto colored paper and cut out.
Make your mark. Stamp tags with yuletide wishes and images.
Trim with care. Scissors with fancy edges transform scraps of paper into delicate labels.
Stick it on. Dress up plain paper with metallic stickers - stars, snowflakes, hearts, dots - and your presents will twinkle.
Dress it up. Let the kids create designs on plain brown Kraft paper.
Be original. Use maps, newspaper, comics, posters, etc., to wrap your gift.

Mothers Day 2011
16 months, 1 week, 3 days and I will hug my son again! My son is serving a mission in the beautiful state of Virginia! Some days, it feels like he has been gone for a long time and other days it feels like it has all gone by quickly! Today it feels like forever. I'm counting down to Mothers Day 2011! I truly am grateful for his service. He is doing great!
We were so lucky to talk to him on Christmas! Although it has made me miss him a lot more!
In the mean time, I need to get busy on a scrapbook! I'm looking for simplicity and I LOVE the new Project Life by Becky! Any tips or suggestions on a missionary scrapbook welcomed! Thanks!
Sending Hugs to Virginia!
