My baby is growing up!

Katie got her first real job!! She is working at McDonald's in the heights. That may not seem huge but it is the start of her real Independence as a grown -up. It seems like once they get a job, they start to be gone more with their friends, and some of that innocence of being young is gone. Kind of like when your baby learns to walk. She's definitely passed another milestone in her life. To her its no big deal, but to the momma its HUGE!! She wants to save for a car and more short term a cell phone!! Funny the kid that would cry if you made her go to McDonald's as a kid (her brother and sister liked it) is now working there. Maybe thats a good thing, she won't eat much there then.

Santa can't wait!!

Early Christmas gift

With the help of my co -worker Cindy our family has a new way to spend time together. We (Gordon & I) decided on friday that we would buy a Wii that Cindy's husband Jay found while shopping at Target. (I guess the Wii is hard to come by) We were going to save it for a family present from Santa. Well my husband was so excited to play it that he couldn't wait. So friday night he spilled the beans and we hooked it up!! I must say it is a lot of fun, and I'm not much of a game person. I'd rather be cleaning, cooking, or reading. But last night I succame and tried it. It really was fun. Video games have come a long way since I was a kid! The controller shakes in your hand when you hit something, or get a nibble on your fishing line. I better be careful how much I play I could get hooked!! Espically since I have almost two weeks off for the Christmas vacation. So does Gordon!! If all goes as I have planned haha I will get a camera for Christmas and be able to take some pictures!! Obviously my husband does not want to spill the beans on my present, and let me have it. I'm glad I want to wait.

Busy with preschool

The preschool has kept me quite busy lately so there has been no time to blog. I know it's a lame excuse but it is true. I have to get parent gifts ready for 41 children and get kid gifts for 41 kids, not to mention lesson plans ready for January. Did I fail to mention that I had to get ready for our annual gingerbread house day at preschool!! We had to assemble 50+ gingerbread houses and get them ready to decorate this past week. It is always one of my favorite days at preschool. I love to see what the kids create and eat!! All that said I have to still get shopping and daily life ready for my family. So for those of you that actually haven't given up on my not so interesting blog, my goal is to get much better at this for the New Year! I hope to get a camera that will also make blogging more personal. I will be able to include more photos.
Our once sick cat Mo Mo is sick no longer (I'm so glad) but now she and her sister Marley think it would be fun for me to redecorate our family room daily so they take the decorations off the tree, not all of them, and take down the garland on the ledge down there. As if I don't have enough to do!! I know Karen you think I'm crazy, but I still don't mind cuz I love them! I have to try and get a picture of Marley in the tree because I find it amazing that it doesn't all end up on the floor!! She actually sits at the top!!
