Day 71

Today is a half day at school. Aidan is so excited to give his teachers and bus driver their presents.  Tonight we are going to a devil's hockey game and he is so excited about it he wore his devil's jersey to school.

We wish everyone a very merry christmas and a safe and healthy new year! See everyone in 2011!!

Day 70

Woohoo only today and half day tomorrow of school until christmas and winter break! I hope everyone is ready for the holidays!

Day 69

A was so excited when both of his uncles picked him up last night at gymnastics.  Today Uncle Tim is taking him to finish up his christmas shopping.

Day 68

HOORAY Uncle Tim is coming today!! He arrives while A is in school and probably won't be here until after A leaves for gymnastics. A is so excited that he wanted the aerobed set up tonight so he can check to make sure it was perfect and switch the his bedding to it and put fresh linens on his bed for Uncle Tim.

Day 67

Last night we did some more christmas shopping. I also finally made the chocolate chip cookies and I also wrapped most of the presents.  When A was trying to pick out his gifts for our christmas game I had to keep reminding him that he isn't picking out gifts for himself, he is picking out gifts that other people would want.  He would say okay then go find another toy, ugh.

Day 66

Last night on the way home from gymnastics practice A told me something very funny.  Out of no where he told me Uncle T smells VERY good and he likes the way Uncle T smells. When I asked about Uncle M he said, he smells different. HAHAHA.  A has been asking about deodorant for a while now and I keep assuring him that he doesn't need it yet that he is just getting sweaty, not stinky.  Well, Santa told me that he was going to put some deodorant in A's stocking for him this year so I guess we will be getting some of the stuff Uncle T uses. i had planned on getting an unscented one but if he loves the smell why not?

Day 65

Baby it's cold outside! Brrrrrrrrrr.  Just gymnastics practice today.  A is getting very excited for his uncle T coming in a few days!  I just have some stocking stuffers left to get for A and I am DONE shopping!

Day 64

You can kinda see how chapped A's lips are. He licks them all day long until they practically hurt me! Blistex medicated is bought by the truck load this time of year and Santa always puts some in his stocking.

Day 63

We had some very strange weather this weekend. After freezing us out last week this weekend had highs in the mid 40's and it poured all day yesterday.  I am glad we don't live in the upper midwest were they got all that snow but I am sure A would have loved it!  This week we are back to freezing cold and tomorrow's high is supposed to something just evil around 20 degrees.  Uncle M arrived from florida on friday just before A got off the bus so he was very excited. Uncle T will be arriving next monday.

day 62

I am so glad it's friday! A should be getting a new music book tonight at piano lessons, he really just flew through this last one!

Day 61

Yesterday A had a great practice and I finished up the new look of the team bulletin board which is pretty good if I do say so myself.  Today is a nothing going on other than homework day which I always love. A's uncles will star arriving soon from Florida and he is VERY excited!

Here A is fixing the lights that were blown around last night.

Day 60

Wow, day 60? We are already one third of the way through the school year!  A thinks he did very good on his math test yesterday.  He was also able to go to the library and pick up his reserved books because he finally returned the other ones he had.

Day 59

Last night A was attempting to study for his math test today, that is until wheel of fortune came on.  He has never watched the show but suddenly he couldn't take his eyes off the TV. The apple has not fallen far from the tree...

Day 58

What a great weekend.  We got some Christmas shopping done and A got a much needed haircut.  His glasses will be in tuesday or wednesday.  His old ones were very crooked so we went and had them fixed. When I handed the man at Pearle Vision his old glasses to get the lenses out he actually laughed out loud at the sight of them. At least someone found it funny.

What's that white stuff behind him?  Since Thanksgiving we have been having just flurries. Today is also just flurries but this is the first time it has been cold enough for it to stick.

Day 57

I swear I posted something today no idea why it didn't show up.

Last night A stepped on his glasses just right to break them in half. Good thing we still have his old glasses to get him through.  I called pearle vision today and can you believe that it's not a manufactures defect haha.  I hope the new frames come in soon.

Day 56

Today A gets to do his holiday shopping at school. The gifts range in price from $1 to $6 so you can imagine what the choices are.  He enjoys it and it allows him to pick out gifts for everyone that are surprises.

Day 55

A is trying to make a christmas list. So far it contains video games and nerf guns. Ugh, what a boy!
