christmas time

so christmas time is soon to be here! i'm totally not ready! i have shopping to do still and tons of wrapping!! i still need to buy drew and i stockings! lol, that is just sad! we got the kids' stockings and i had wrapped presents and put them inside and not too soon after anabelle had them down and the presents unwrapped. she is so sneaky!

our first christmas dinner was announced today! christmas eve @ 4 with drew's dad and his wife. lets see how many more to go....1....2....3....wow. this is going to be a busy year!

i would love to start a family tradition with my lil family i've got but i dont know what would be unique and fun to do! my kids are still so young they wouldn't get it, but i would like for drew and i to start something! we never did anything. we never had money, and really dont have money now, lol 7 years later and STILL broke. seriously, something needs to happen! maybe drew working 2 jobs will pay off! now that he works at spirit he will work a butt load of overtime and get a bunch of money rolling in! (this is where i feel bad for staying at home - not contributing to the money pot) BUT i know its better for the kids that i do stay home.

so my friend jennie started this thing with anabelle. the other night, anabelle was acting up for me and was acting HORRIBLE in front of jennie. so jennie says "if you dont be good for mommy i'm gonna call supernanny" oh my god, you should have seen the look on her face. she was SCARED. she said "i'm scared of supernanny" so now whenever she is acting bad i act like i call supernanny and anabelle freaks out....its funny but it still doesnt really work. she doesn't act good. i know she's only almost 3 but this girl is SMART. SMART SMART SMART. she is like a little adult. its crazy. and scary. i really hope she grows out of this stage. when alex gets bigger he's gonna make life interesting. FOR EVERYONE. especially anabelle. he's going to get her back for all the times she picked on him. she is ruthless with him. but he'll get her. and its gonna be comical!

well my hubby is going to be home soon. listenin' to the christmas music. makes me bright and cheery!

i'm so happy that you're back and posting on a regular basis. i'm trying to create new traditions as a family also (even though we are childless).
