Crazy weather we had here this weekend.
Kids are just so excited to have snow, but after the ice storm the lovely weather here decided that 52 degrees and down pours were in order. Didn't stop these kids. While the weather was warm enough I got Hubby to put up the outdoor decorations. Kids got their sleds out and proceeded to slide down our hill.
Buggy says, "We are RAIN sledding" to which brother Bubs said "yeah!" Down the hill he slid. Goofballs. It did make us giggle though, until the mud started filling the sled, then filling their clothes. UGH. Didn't think that one out too much, eh? LOL.
We did get the trees out this weekend, they are both up, but me + pms = not fun with kids and ornaments. However, they all got ON the trees and only ONE broke. No, it didn't break from me throwing it...it was the kids, they were so excited, unwrapping and unwrapping despite my grumbles to PLEASE let me unwrap and that we weren't in a damn race. So an ornament flung out of the wrapping and onto the hardwood floor. I thought I was going to cry, another joy of PMS, but then saw Buggy's face...contained myself and told her it was FINE. Though I really wanted to put it all away and save it for another day. We pushed on.
Oh, so I think my shopping is almost done. SHUT YO MOUTH, I know, right? LOL. This weekend the mother in law is taking the kids to a lunch with Santa, so I am going to be doing a complete inventory to see who I have bought for, who I may need still and etc. LOVE IT.
I feel especially giving this year, some years I do, others I am a total ba-humbug. If you are on my shopping list, you just might be lucky (not get lucky) this year. ;)

Again, for those that have it all....
I was on my way to the mall the other day, Hallmark to be exact. Along the way there is an Adult Toy Store...don't ask why I know it is there, it just is. I had to laugh out loud, the sign out front said,
"Santa shops here, you should too"
Roflmao. Santa watches porn and peep girls? Maybe he enjoys a little elf action. OOOHHH that's bad and my mind went really deeply in the gutter on that one.
Anyway, for the guy who has it all...maybe Santa should find him something in the adult toy store.
Speaking of adult toy store, cause my mind is there anyway, what is with all the blow-up decorations in people's yards. Really. My kids LOVE them and want me to litter my yard with them...nothankyouverymuch. They are for every holiday, we actually saw a turkey one. Halloween, blow up Frankenstein. I have yet to see a cupid, but I should speak too loudly someone might make one and patent it and become a millionaire on MY idea.
Guess my decorating is a little more traditional. I love my lighted reindeer, trees and lights on the pines in our yard, nothing that requires air. Sorry to disappoint you kids.
So this weekend is decorating weekend. My mom who clearly stated she WASN'T decorating this year called and asked us over to decorate the tree?!?! LOL. I said, "I thought you weren't decorating?!?!" My sister who just moved back from Hawaii, INSISTED that the tree go up this year and made my mom put it up. (see, even adult children are pushy and demanding. when my kids are adults they BETTER not bring over a blow up Santa for my yard) So we will be helping with the ornaments for her tree.
The kids love ornaments, maybe because we make such a big deal about them. Take each one out carefully, admire it, oh and ah over it, tell the story behind it, etc. I love the ornaments and usually we buy a new one every year for our family members to add to their tree. Amazingly, our trees still aren't full.
One tradition that I started with my kids is with the ornaments, they have a picture frame ornament for every year of their life, with a picture from that year in it. I love them and they love pulling those out of the box and looking at how they looked last year or the year before. PLUS, there is no fighting on WHO puts that one on the tree. *eye roll*
So to save myself more of the "when are we putting up OUR tree" questions, I think we shall put ours up this weekend too. I am going to participate in the Christmas Tour of Homes hosted by Boo Mama!! Should be fun, check it out and join us. It gives you the opportunity to see how others decorate (sorry if you like the blow ups) and a peak into their worlds this holiday season. So I will not be posting any tree pictures of MY house (my share my mom's house early) until the tour begins. :) I know, you all will be awaiting with abated breath. ;)
