'Tis the Season

Man...I had a busy weekend! Friday night JR had his company Christmas party, but for some strange reason they did employees only...STUPID! So my friend Tina and I took our kids to see Planet 51! I have been aprehensive about taking Logan to the theater, but I decided that he could handle it and was very impressed! HE was wonderful! He has gone before but he was much smaller and he didn't really grasp the whole concept of a movie! So this was his first "Real" theater experience. I cant wait to take him again...Alvin and the Chipmunks comes out Dec. 23 - He is so excited...we will be there.
Because of the movie, he went to bed a little later...about 10:30 - but I figure its the weekend so oh well.....big mistake....he was such a cranky butt!
Luckily...I didn't have to deal with him. Saturday morning I got up, got Landry and myself dressed and we headed to Galveston. My mom was there visiting my grandmother so we went to visit as well. I didn't leave until almost 7 so I was there all day pretty much. We had plans to meet up with some friends for dinner, but they fell through. JR had taken Logan to some other friends house (Brendan and Beano) so I ended up driving over there to hang out for a bit. We left around 11:00 - So this was night #2 that Logan didn't go to bed a bedtime:( He fells asleep before getting out of the neighborhood...but still...off schedule!
ON Sunday I went to the mall and got a shirt for Logan for our Christmas pictures, came home - set up the camera and took the pics. They didn't really turn out as well as I had hoped...but it was really hard to get the kids to both be looking at the camera. Logan is such a clown that that made it harder. When I take pictures of him - he always wants to be doing something funny, so it is difficult to get him to just sit still and smile! He kept saying cheeeeeeeeeese and then would laugh histerically! Grrrrr. Oh well! After picture we went to dinner with JR's brother and his wife and son. At 8:45 I said ----AHHHHHH! we gotta go...we hurried home to get Logan into bed...missing bedtime by about 20 minutes! Which didn't matter because he REFUSED to stay in his bed....I stayed calm for most of the night, JR and I taking turns taking him back to his bed over and over and over again. But when JR turned in for the night and Landry started crying, it was too hard to do both! I was carrying her around, trying to drag Logan to his room! I finally put her in her swing and let her cry while I laid with Logan for about 10 minutes. I had hoped she would stop crying....NOPE. so I got up to get her, and Logan got up behind me...I tried to lay with both of them but Landry couldnt stop crying. Finally I got Logan to lay still in his bed and I got Landry to fall asleep. It was nearly 2:00 when I got in bed...ahhhhh!
