Busy Week


Saturday I took Hunter to Joann's to buy fabric & a pattern for her formal sewing lesson. She has sewn some things in the past, but not clothes. She picked a cute red dress that she plans on wearing to the New Years Eve Dance. We have been working on it since then.

Saturday evening we went with Kelly & family to see the Rockettes. It was a fun time, very Christmasy.

Sunday we had Hunter, Damon Oscar & Diego until Monday. The boys shot the new bb guns, Larry & Diego had a wii bowling tournament, and played other games. Larry & I wonder if we will ever figure the wii out. Monday was some Christmas shopping with the kids, Larry stayed home with a sleeping Axel.

We have Axel everyday this week. Brody & Stephanie are both in retail management and it's a crazy week for them. I'm just glad I have the time to do it.

Today was taking Sally's kids (she also works retail...one of the Target overnight stocking supervisors/foreman) to see the infamous Alvin & the Chipmunks. At least by the crowd and line you would think infamous. Hunter warned me everyone from school was planning on going, so I bought the tickets yesterday, but STILL it's Alvin & the Chipmunks. The kids did have fun & seemed to enjoy it, Larry too. I fell asleep during part of it. Now Hunter & I'm sewing...she says it's wearing her out.

Mom's Visit

My mother flew in Nov 22. Just in time to have Thanksgiving with our Texas Family. We have been taking in the sites, keeping busy, but with a day here and there to rest. We have toured Cowboy Stadium, Gone to a couple of movies, Axel celebrated his 2nd birthday, went to ICE. It has been warm a few days, snowed last Wednesday and had a hard freeze. Of course eating along the way.

Mom leaves to go back home on Friday, it's hard to believe how fast time can go by when your busy and having a good time.
