The end of last week and the Monday were hectic for me. I have been doing so much each day so yesterday, I took an easy day. Logan was off to school so I drove by the house on the way home....we have a slab. They have removed the forms, but because of crappy weather, they wont be able to start framing the house until Friday or next Monday! Geesh, seriously we are in such a drought, we still need another 15 inches to get out of the "Draught" status, but it doesn't rain all summer, and the second we start to build a house....it rains every week. I told JR that if it turns into another really hot summer we should just start building houses to insure the rain! LOL. Honestly, I can't complain because we need the rain, and they will have plenty of time to build my house. I just get so excited about it...but seriously, we will take all the rain we can get! Anyway, so yesterday, I decided to finish wrapping the gifts that I have. I decided to wrap Santa's gifts in a different wrapping paper than the rest and those are staying in my closet until Christmas eve. It's honestly amazing to me how much money you can spend and then once everything is wrapped it amounts to 10 presents. I still have to get several things. I still have to get Mario Kart for Logan's DS, and I want to get him a Team Umizoomi game, at least 2 more pairs of jeans, maybe a few more shirts, and perhaps a stuffed mario toy for his bedroom. I still have to get the magnet toys for Landry, and perhaps another tag jr book and some more clothes.

I plan to do some more shopping today, because I forgot to get Logan's teacher a gift. Ughh. It's nothing big, I think I am just going to buy them both an ornament.

Last night, our community put on an "everybody wins" bingo night. Basically they invite the people that have been renting and try to get them to buy. Seriously, these people have been bugging us since NOVEMBER 1. Our lease isn't up until Feb. 29. Seriously, it is starting to piss me off! Anyway, the grand prizes were A nintendo wii + mario games, a DVD player, a $100 gift card, and a $50 gift card. Other prizes included a 12 pack of toilet paper, candles, a poinsetta, a crock pot...etc there were only 4 families there, and basically each family gets a number, when your number is drawn you get to go to the bingo machine and give it a spin to see which ball drops. The ball is then matched to the prize. For example, all the prizes are in one corner and each one is labeled with I19, or B6....if the ball that comes out when you spin is B6, that is the prize you get. If however you are willing to fill out the application for purchasing your home, or get an extra spin. 2 families took the extra spin...since we are building a house, we did not. We were the last family to spin...I let JR do it because he is luckier than I am....and of course we won the freaking Wii! Too flippin funny. Logan was playing with another kid so I told JR to run it out to the car before Logan could see it. LOL I guess Logan just got a new gift from Santa! However, JR said that maybe we should hold on to it until March and give it to him as a birthday gift...As it is now, the kids have taken over the tv. Logan has a tv in his room, but it doesn't have dvr on it. Ughh. When we move into the new house we are going to buy a 60" for the living room and put the 42" in the play room upstairs, so JR was thinking we could wait until then and set it up in the play room for his birthday. It's a pretty good idea, but it is also going to be difficult to hide the darn thing for another 3.5 months.

Anyway, I better get off of here so I can head out and get busy with the shopping other wise I wont be home until 6! The kids are already cranky...so YAY! It should be a very fun day! LOL
