2 down and 6 to go

Okay well we have officially kicked off our xmas season. We went to my Aunts and my moms last sunday and did the Christmas thing with them. The kids got some toys and some other cool items. I think Addys favorite is her Digital camera that Grandma Tonya got her. Eastons would have to be the Bumblebee Transformer and Loagin well he likes all of his especially his cars.:) Now that we have 2 of them out of the way we only have about 6 more to go to. We have Papa Garys on Friday and then my stepmoms mom on saturday. On Sunday we got to fort smith for my Grandmas and then back up here to Eureka Springs on sunday evening for Johns dads. On monday we go to Johns moms and then tuesday we do ours here at home and that will end our christmas travels. And man am i so ready. It just takes so much time and money to do all the traveling and then witht the 3 kids in the car well i can say i am soooooo glad that my sister let me borrow her dvd player for the car. Its a life saver.!!

Loagins 2nd Birthday Fiasco

Okay so we had Loagins 2nd birthday party this past Sunday!! He will be 2 on the 22nd of December. He had so much fun. He got lots of cars. Thats his most favorite thing to play with is Hot Wheels. So we know what hes getting for christmas as well. I cant grasp ahold of the fact that my baby is now almost two, but i am ready for the diapers to be gone and the crybabiness as well.:) He seems to be doing alot of that lately. I think between him and easton i am not sure who wants more attention. I think easton knows that he will have to go to school next year so hes trying to be the baby as much as he can. Well only 2 weeks til xmas and i seem to be a single parent these days. John has taken on working at night, and sometimes even during the day as well. His job has literally taken him all the time, but right now the money is much needed. I think sometime into the new year he may have the option to go to South Carolina to work for a week. That should be a good paycheck. But its not set in stone just yet. Hes just trying to make sure he gets enough sleep as it is right now. But well make it. The kids will miss him cuz they will be asleep when he gets home and on the days he works during the day hell be gone when they get up. Crazy. just plain craziness around here. Never seems to end though. We took easton past the school they will be going to next year. He seems to be getting a little excited but not like Addy was when she was going into Kindergarten. Some days he dont seem to even care. well i will go for now.

Only 22 more days til Santas Here

Well like most of you who have kids probably know. Mine are so ready for santa to come. Now they only have 22 more days. They keep changing their list of items for santa to bring and it seems that the $$$$ amount only seems to get bigger with each item. :) Of course.!! I myself am not such a big fan of the Holiday season. Its nice to get to see all the families and be with everyone but i know for us it breaks the bank. However to get to see the kids Happy at the end of the day is well worth it for me. I am just so ready for it to be the new year. I think we as a family here are going to try many new things in the new year. One for us may be NO TV. Our kids are so hooked on the TV its not even funny. I mean we have already done away with the cable so they dont have much, but when its on you cant seem to get them to help do anything and with easton starting school next year hes gonna have to learn he cant always have the tv with him. :( But i do know they will get lots and lots of movies for xmas so if they are good they can always watch them. well i will get for now. not much else to say.
