Randomness

Ady has been having fun at preschool.

I promise I think about updating nearly everyday, I just don't get around to it. *sigh* Well, we've been busy as always. Ady had a follow up appointment for her tonsils on Tuesday. I left the baby thinking it would be quick....oh no, nearly 3 hours later we were heading home....it was INSANE! We also came home in the midst of traffic, so the normal 25 min drive took an hour. Poor Bennett was STARVING!!!! Well, they had to do a hearing test to make sure her tubes were open and didn't cause damage. She passed with flying colors but was a bit stubborn with the tests.

Here she is showing off her favorite ornament. What's up with that smile!?!?!

I have also wanted to post pictures of the boys. I found a picture of Tanner and it looks so much like Bennett. I showed it to Tanner and he said, "AH cute, Baby Bennett." I will try to get it scanned soon. I also have pictures of Matthew, they all look so much a like.

The kids have been bugging me to set up Christmas, we finally got stuff out of the garage and in the house. They have loved playing with the nativity set. They also helped me put up our advent calendar and put candy in it for each day. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes later, the bottom weeks candy was "cleaned out" by Ady and Matthew. *sigh* I refuse to refill, especially since there are many times throughout the day that I notice chocolate on the mouths of the little ones. There is at least one row they can't reach so I have stuff in there for Tanner, since he is being good and leaving it alone.

I also found Ady and Matthew getting into my ornaments. I have a big collection of Disney ornaments and they think they are toys, unfortunately they aren't toys and despite the lectures not to play with them...well one got broke today. Alladin was beheaded!I've also been busy making digital calendars for the Mom's for Christmas. I had a deadline to make and finally got them done. My next deadline is for some digital scrapbooks I have credits for. They expire in 7 days so I have been spending most of my free time workng on them.

I was watching Oprah and they were talking about inexpensive gifts this Christmas. One of the suggestions was "12 dates of Christmas", I told Davis about it and we thought it was a pretty good idea. My week tp plan was last week and we figured we needed about 3 dates a week to make it work. Well, Davis had mutual and Bishopric meeting Tuesday. Wednesday we watched shows together after the kids went to bed. (date 1...yes I counted it!) Thursday was basketball. Saturday morning Ward Party and tithing settlement. So we went to the movies Saturday night (he planned it, so date 2) UGH! We watched Twilight and quite honestly I didn't LOVE it. It did make me want to read the books again. There were parts of it I enjoyed, but all in all it wasn't my favorite movie. Enough said!!!!!! So maybe next week will be better....I doubt it though since he has tithing settlement again and it looks like it might take up more time then he expected (inward groan.)

Last but not least....Bennett. He is getting so big and so fun. I got this cute shirt for him. I've had to do more shopping than I realized with him. He's totally off season of the other boys and it's COLD!!!! I am happy to say he "played" quietly on this blanket for about 30 minutes yesterday...yay for Mom!!!! I also need to mention that one night last week he slept for a whole 6 hours!!! I was in heaven...okay, not really, but it was nice. Lately he gets up every 1-2 hours to eat. It's a nice night when he goes for 3 hours. He loves to eat!!!

I also wanted to show this cute blanket my Mom made...Thanks Mom!!!! I have some really cute blankets my mother in law made, but "mister spit up" keeps getting them dirty. When they get out of the wash (again) I will take pictures and post them....she too is amazing.
