So there has been a lot that has been going on at our house lately within the last couple of weeks. 1st of all, we have al been sick. It all started with Blake who got a cold and lost his voice and also got a cough. It wasn't too bad. Low grade fever with coughing, lasted for abut a week. When he was on the tail end of that Marissa got it but she vomited for 1 whole day and actually did good and told me when she was going to and did it in a bucket. She also had a low grade fever and then lost her voice. When she was on the tail end of that, then Jaci decided to get it and also vomited, but didn't do so well doing it in the bucket. She also lost her voice and was miserable with a low grade fever. Needless to say, when she was on the tail end of that.....I decided to get what they all had and i was miserable. I wanted a Phenregren shot at 2:00 AM in the morning so that I could sleep and not vomit every hr. It was bad. We are all finally better after missing 3 weeks of church. Glad it just wasn't the flu.
Marissa and Jaci both got new hair cuts. Marissa needed one bad and her hair short...is just so much better. I went to Great Clips and the girl there who did it....just didn't do it short enough for me and it looked uneven, so I took her the next day to Dollar cuts and they made it cutier and better. Dollar cuts is the best for little girls! (Kari did a great job, so ask for her!). Marissa decided that Jaci also needed a hair cut she while I was in the bath and they were suppose to be outside helping tony with the leaves, I guess they came in and Marissa gave Jaci a haircut. It was in a ponytail tucked under, so she just kinda cut the hair that was tucked under. It really wasn't that bad...but I called my cousin who is a beautician and asked her if she would just fix it and she did by blending it and giving her some swoop bangs. It looks good, so thanks Jess.
I have been working a little more. I have been working the lat couple of saturday's which is nice and gives me a few more hrs and Tony is home to watch them, so it makes it nice. I think the flu is winding down now. Not so many now. Mt kids are going to get their 2nd shot next tuesday.
I put up my christmas tree and decorations. Call me crazy...but i was in the mood, and it wasn't gong to be put up if I didn't do it then. I figured we already had Thanksgiving anyways...because we did it with my moms side of the family before my bro and sister n law left to go back home. So i figured I wanted it up to enjoy it longer. It has been fun. I let the kids decorate it this year by themselves. Isn't that what christmas is all about anyways...??
Other than that, we have just been hanging out and Annie has been getting all the christmas presents done. Only a few more and then I will be done. It has been fun this year. I am excited for it all. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much service to give and help out with! It's great!!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Merry Thanksgiving. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season! here are some pictures of our tree!
