Okay, another post for today...Just wanted to say that today is my nephew Isaiah's birthday!!! I can't believe he was born 6 years ago today.
Also, I got off my butt and went shopping. I got Logan's teachers their gift...some candy and an ornament. I also finished the kids clothes shopping! Woohoo. So all I have left is something for Isabella and Isaiah, and Tyler - JR's nephew. And of course, Logan's Mario Kart and Landry's magnet toy! YAY

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

Broken House!
We Finallly took our Christmas photos...but guess what, I got my camera out to take the photos and the screen is completely screwed up! Grrrr. So I need a new camera! Then I tried to load the SD Card into the computer, but that is broken as well! Because I am so smart, I decided to use the USB converter...but all 5 USB ports seem to no longer functions! WTF??? So, I spent the entire day out of the house AGAIN. I went to Target and ordered my Christmas cards there so that they would be printed in the same day...not exactly the same quality as shutterfly, but oh well. This was of course after being at the bank for 2 hours doing paper work for the house. So, basically, I need a new computer and a new camera! Yikes! I ended up printing a CD so that I could upload my photos on the computer...thank goodness that drive is still working! LOL Here is a cute photo that I love, but isn't on the Christmas card!
Now I have to finish wrappping gifts, and I still have a few more to buy, but that will have to wait until next week. I am still recovering from the past 5 days...plus, we have to go to Dallas on Friday! YAY = Hopefully I can hit up the mall there...ALONE and JR can take the kids to watch the 4A and 5A football games. LOL, yeah right!

Santa ,Shopping, Football, Decorations, House
On Friday I actually did it, I took the kids to the mall in Austin to see Santa. Luckily the line was only about a 15 minute wait. Logan was so excited and such a good kid. It really is amazing to look back and see how much more exciting Christmas is to him each year. Landry was not all that impressed. She REALLY doesn't like for me to leave her side. Even when I just walk away to leave her with JR she gets upset...that intensifies when the other person is a stranger!
After our visit with Santa, I decided that I might as well do some clothes shopping for the kids while I was there. This was not my finest idea! It was okay for about an hour and a half...but then it turned a little chaotic. Logan wanted to go into a toy store which I promised he could do if he was a good boy...the problem was, he really was a good boy so I had to take him. Turned out to be terrible. He wanted this $50 Super Mario chess game. First, you can get it from Amazon for $30, second, he doesn't play chess he just wanted it because it has all the mario characters as chess pieces. GGRRR. I tried to compromise, okay - not really. I offered to buy him a $3 mario candy dispenser. He fervently declined, so we left - he cried the whole way out to the car. Part of the reason it took so long to shop is because Logan is in a wierd stage for jeans - as is Landry - which requires for them to actually try on the clothes. Trust me, this is a terrible thing to dress and undress and dress and undress kids their age over and over. I FINALLY found Logan a pair of jeans after 2 stores and about 8 different brands...the only ones that fit right...of course Polo! So, I only bought 1 pair and will have to go back and buy a few more next week after pay day. The problem is that in October I bought him some 5 slims because his jeans just weren't long enough. However, apparently he has had yet another growth spurt and now the 5 slims are not only too short - they are also now too tight in the waist, which were just perfect 2 months ago! The 5 regulars fit in the waist (as long as its adjustable because they are still a little big) but they are too short, so I had to find some 6 slim...unfortunately each brand is different and therefore took several attempts to find a pair that worked. I had this same problem with Landry - but I gave up and bought tights and dresses! LOL
Later Friday night we drove to Bastrop to watch my dad's Wimberley Texans play in the state semi-final game. I have to say that both teams had some ridiculously stupid mistakes but somehow we were able to pull out a win 21-14, which means that Friday we will be playing for the whole shebang. The State Championship in Cowboys Stadium at 4:00pm.
Before we left for the game, Logan and Landry made some toilet paper roll reindeer! I should have gotten some better glue than elmers....but they are very cute. Today, we traced all our hands and then I cut them out so we could make some wreaths, they turned out really well. So very cute! So, now all that is left is to take the Christmas photos, which I am hoping to do in about an hour or two, before we head to dinner for Isaiah's birthday celebration!
They poured the foundation today on our house! YAYYYYY! They should start on the framing mid next week!

Another busy day...and another
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!

since my last post
Okay so I haven't posted in a week..sorry. Things have been crazy around here, and they continue to be that way. So I am going to try to recap quickly!
Saturday night my dad's football team played in the State quarter-finals His team won, so they live to play another week. We will play this Friday night against ColdSpring - Oakhurst. This will be a rematch of sorts since we played them last year in this very same game (the semi-finals) and they eat us advancing them to the State Championship. So, basically who ever wins this game will go on to play in the State championship at cowboy stadium on December 16th. Nerves are already wracking my body.
Sunday was a lazy day. I wanted to take the kids to see Santa at the Baptist church but JR wanted to watch the Texans, so I settled for reading a few books!! BTW I am only 19 books away from my goal!
Monday, I cleaned house...well I picked up, there is still plenty to clean. Logan was a big helper which was pretty cool. Then I did some online shopping for Christmas! Whew!
Tuesday, I took Logan to school, then went to Target where I got extremely overwhelmed so I called JR, and he told me to wait for him so he could help. So, I just walked around for a while to waste time since I still had two hours until he took his lunch break. Then I drove over to HEB and did the grocery shopping, by the time I was loadinng up JR was 5 minutes away. We met at subway for a quick lunch then headed back to Target. I bought a few things...let me just say that JR drives me nuts sometimes. He wants me to wait for him so he can help, but then he just walks around and when I show him what I was wanting to buy he says, "yeah, I guess."
Me: Okay, well whats wrong with it?
JR: "Do you really think they will like that." UGHHHHHHH
ME: Okay, well, what do you think we should get?
JR: I don't know..I'm going to go look at the TV's
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Are you kidding me!?! What was the point in me waiting for him?
Anyway, I took Landry over to Kohl's for a quick look. Sometimes they have some really great stuff and I can get ALL my clothes shopping done at once...other times (like yesterday) they have nothing. So, at that point it was time to pick up Logan. Afterwards we drove by the new house...nothing new there, and headed home where I put away groceries and did some more picking up.
I was hoping to take the kids to the mall to see santa today, but it just isn't going to work out. I have a lot of stuff to do around the house. My mom is coming to watch the kids tomorrow night while JR and I go to his company Christmas party. The biggest problem is that I needed to go to get the kids their Christmas outfits...Logan has school pictures tomorrow, and we REALLY need to do our Christmas card photo...and I still have to go to Hobby Lobby because the kids and I are going to make some ornaments AND I need to finish decorating the fireplace...which is where we are taking the photos! Ughh... I seriously have so much to do! CRAP! time to prioritize!

Christmas
Yesterday, I took the kids with me to the dentist. I was pretty worried about taking two small kids to get my teeth cleaned. Logan was pretty good. He talked constantly, to me, the dental hygienest, the wall, his blocks. Landry was doing great, until I opened my mouth and the cleaning began...then she started SCREAMING at the top of her lungs. I ended up having her lay on my stomach. She never made a sound after that, she just watched the entire process. It was pretty funny.
On the way home, Logan and I talked about Christmas and Santa. He said he wanted to put up the Christmas tree, so I told him we could when we got home as long as he picked up all his toys. He was so excited that when we got home, he got started immediately! When it was all picked up he was jumping up and down, but I told him I had to vacuum first. So of course, he asked me over and over again if I would hurry up and vacuum. So I did. Then I went out to the shed and dragged the tree and the decorations boxes inside and spent a few hours putting it all together. Logan was funny with his help. He counted every little item. We had a discussion about stockings and Christmas socks which was pretty funny. When JR got home they talked about Santa, and Logan had all kinds of questions about how Santa got down the chimney, how reindeer fly. It was all very interesting...our answers consisted of a lot of the word, "MAGIC." Now, I have to get on pinterest and find some cool ideas for Christmas decorations and things to do with the kids!
I also found out yesterday that we have a meeting with the contractor tomorrow at 3. The meeting has to happen before they pour the concrete for the foundation. So woohoo!
