Christmas is coming!

By -
We've been busy lately with all things Christmas and getting ready for Christmas. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. So far we've watched, The Grinch, Rudolph, Curious George Christmas, Elf, Home Alone (which became way to violent for my already rowdy boys), and Ice Age Christmas. We've made cookies, and danced to Christmas songs
I had a gift exchange with my MOPS moms. Which is always nice to get out of the house. And I snuck out of the house to celebrate with my mom being skin cancer free. Cancer sucks yo!
We saw Santa twice and the older boys thought he was lame and chose to sit on ATV's and lawnmowers over sitting on the old geezer's lap. Finn was a good sport about it though.

In the upcoming weeks we have a Gingerbread House making night, A bowling birthday party, and Deacon's 2nd birthday!
And on top of all of that I have to make a dessert for Teacher Appreciation day at Everett's school, a meal for a friend who just had a baby, a snack for our ECFE potluck, an appetizer for my husband's work potluck, cookies for a cookie exchange, and a partridge in a pear tree.

We have a Singer Christmas party coming up and a Robideau Christmas party too. And we get to celebrate lots of little birthdays for Levi, Piya, and Deacon. All these December birthdays... it's a non-stop party.


And now a big fat photo dump...

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
