Just a bunch of random stuff......

Here is a picture of JB at preschool working on his gingerbread house!  (Sent by his teacher, so not able to enlarge it.....)

It seems that we have the privilege of taking care of the preschool stick bugs over the Christmas break. I guess they are pretty low maintenance and just need some lettuce every day or so.

JB asked me the other day if the sun and moon had a mom, dad, brother and sister. He cracks me up. Just about any day that the other boys are at school, you can find JB right here......

He loves playing with his super heroes/transformers and nativities. He will stand at the buffet all morning, just playing and talking away.

The other day I was in our local small town grocery store. They were really busy and I thought it was so cool that the head honcho-owner, carried my groceries out with a huge smile and a Merry Christmas. Only in small town living does that happen.

We did some moonlight skating during the full moon. The boys had a great time and I stayed nice and warm in the car! Once they are able to put their skates on and lace them up by themselves I will be a happy momma. Right now it almost takes as long getting ready and wrapping up than they do skating. We went again today after school. My goal is twice a week hitting the ice. Once they get their hockey sticks for Christmas, they will spend hours out there. I am thankful to the dads that show up and help 'coach' the kids on the ice.

The boys are very concerned because none of the Christmas presents have names on them. They are not sure how we are going to know whose present is whose. Little do they know, that every person has a different kind of wrapping paper. They will go on a treasure hunt Christmas Eve to find the envelope that has the answers to which paper belongs to which person.

Tomorrow is the last day of school and then they have off until Thursday, January 2nd. Seems like they could get the 2nd and 3rd off, but no...we go back.

Off to help boys wind down for the night.
