Yesterday was a little busy, but I made it worse for myself - OF COURSE! After dropping Logan off at school, Landry and I headed to San Marcos to get my car an oil change that was about 3,000 miles overdue! YIKES! I took it to Wal-Mart, so while I was waiting for them to finish my car, I did some more shopping. My nephew Davin is really in to angry birds so I found this great game where you set up blocks and the actually launch a bird! pretty cool! I also had to buy a book for Logan's class, they are doing a gift exchange so each kid has to bring a wrapped book. Of course while I was standing there looking at the books I saw "The Night Before Christmas" so I bought that for myself. I had one that I read to Logan every year, but last year Landry got a hold of it...so it needed to be replaced!
Next, we headed to Hobby Lobby, there are a couple of crafts that I want to do with the kids, so I needed supplies. Unfortunately, I went a little crazy. I loaded up my basket with stuff to decorate the fireplace for our pictures, then, saw something else, and changed my mind so I un-loaded everything and loaded up with my "new idea". Then I found something else and repeated this process twice more. UGHHH - by the end I removed everything and only got the stuff I needed for crafts with the kids...except for some yarn...I bought a really lovely new yarn!
I spent too much time in San Marcos, so I rushed home - but I made a quick stop at the dollar store for some juice boxes, Dr. Pepper, and Diet Coke for my mom. Then we drove my the new house...unfortunately because of the rain and weather - not much happening there...but there were electrical people out there working. (AND...They called JR with the weekly update, and told him they would either pour the foundation today - friday - or Monday! YAY...can't wait to drive by in a few hours.) Finally, I got home and started picking up more of the house. Since my mom was coming to watch the kids while JR and I went to his Company Christmas party....the house was in need of some deeper cleaning, which I was trying to get finished by 4:30 so I would still have time to get ready. Luckily, it all worked out.
The Christmas party was a little odd. It was an adults only party, but the wierdest thing was that there was no Company talk. The last company JR worked for, they would do dinner, and then afterwards, the owner would stand up and give a little speech (okay, it wasn't little) and then he would hand out individual awards. This company's owner travels from Houston, and then never says a word. It was the same way last year. I mean, he says hello and everything - but there is no speech, every one just sits around talking and eating and then they leave! It was strange.
I STILL have NOT taken the kids to see Santa...UGhh. This week has been so busy, I just wouldn't get it done. Today, I am wanting to get the ornaments and decorations done with the kids, but I guess we could go up to Austin today...??? I dont know. Maybe if I stopped typing and got them ready we could go in about 30 minutes, then come home and do decorations. Hmmmm...I think I will give it a try. I am also going to try to talk JR into doing our Christmas photos tonight before we leave for the game. The problem is that this is going to make every one pretty unhappy because we will all have to change clothes twice...but it is already the 9th, and I seriously need to get those photos ordered. I am thinking that because it is so late, I may just take them to Target, and do the Christmas cards there so that I can try to get them in the mail next week. Ughh! There is seriously so much to do.
Also going on...JR's cousin JD and his wife Andee just found out that the little girl she is pregnant with, is actually a little boy! So ha!...it isn't just me that this happens to. Although at least they were lucky enough to find out halfway through the pregnancy rather than at 39 weeks! LOL
My nephew Isaiah's birthday is on Wednesday. I dont even know what to get him for Christmas, let alone his birthday! My mom said she was going to pick the kids up tomorrow, so I guess I better get him something today! I guess thinking so much about him I started to think about my sister. The last time I heard from her was on my birthday (June 14). It has literally been 6 months and it was mid May the last time the kids saw her..7 months with no contact with your kids...I just can't imagine. Now that I know that the kids are coming in town it kind of screws up the plans for tonight. Logan was going to go stay the night with his Aunt Boo (Vanessa). Last week he was really upset that he couldn't go with her, bo she told me to bring an overnight bag so he could stay the night with her, but now that Isabella and Isaiah will be in town, he will probably want to go with them! Grr. Oh well, I am just going to take the bag, and he can go with who ever he wants...of course I mean either my mom, my sister, or me...not just anyone! LOL
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Oh man, really? I have a little more reassurance about the sex of our baby because I've been getting those HD ultrasounds. I was excited this time when I found out insurance covered more of that visit.
Travis' boss didn't give a speech. He just got up and did the gift lottery where 3 people won stuff. They were NICE gifts ($500 to various stores). Too bad we didn't get one.
I have actually met several people that had this happen to them. Although, from what I hear, if they tell you you are having a boy...you are most likely having a boy. Apparently if they say you are having a girl, there is a chance that it could actually be a boy. So I think you are good! LOL
