dishes

catching up on my dvr shows

posting Christmas pictures

or telling you all about Christmas

or i don't know SLEEPING

but am i no i am not i am waiting my time till webkinz land will let me back in .

Web -what? you say

my sweet sweet God daughter and my sister gave me a hippo for Christmas because my favorite Christmas song is i want a hippo for Christmas . but not just any hippo mind you not the garden variety hippo you see in the zoo no it is a stuffed webkinz toy hippo that i can have a whole on line world with . i have picked on my sister and mother for doing this webkinz thing for a while but now i see...

i am bitter because my sister has so many rooms or so much kinz cash to buy things for her pets.

i pimp out my kids making them(letting them)play the games -i dont want to - to make me more money to get more things for my hippos house .

i need help

"hello my name is leslie and i have a problem"kind of help

no i dont want help stopping -

i want you to get over here and make me some more kinz cash !

my hippo needs to eat !

she needs shoes

she needs more things !

Christmas show

We had out last day of school for Christmas break today and the whole school had a performance (k-12) it was very cute .even the teachers got into it dressing as sugar plum fairies .it was kind dark in there so i didn't get too many pictures but the recording seemed to work better you can see J at the end but little C was clear at the other end so you can see him . so here they are before the "really big show" hanging out with their buds

and ACTION!

have a great day

busy weekend

This weekend was very busy for us. saturday we took our little puppy for shots only to find out that the vet thinks he has dane or some other LARGE breed in him.not the mix we were told.it might have something to do with the fact he is 31 pounds at 4 months. We were up and down all night that night,i ended up sleeping in the chair all night.not so peaceful. so we called in on sunday school .hope it all went well without me.After we got up this morning we went about purging the playroom the boys room and the bookshelf.moved stuff around for santas big gift to the boys(All 3)I am taking a big tote to school in the morning.I only have a few things left to buy and then i think i am done. you never know, something always comes up.i am going to start making the Christmas goodies tommorrow so we can get them all delivered this week,before everyone is out of school or off work.i also need to get the house ready for the in-laws party ,oh and daycare too so tons of time to eat my bon bons and relax HA HA

my mayhem monday... started with a headache that only got worse as the day went on . something was blowing in . i started my day normal ,just trucking along .then big C came home and you know that just tosses a wrench in the works. not that he did anything wrong.he came home to surprise us and get the boys from school .he even sat with ALL the boys while i went to go get the last day care guy from school. I set up an ARD meeting for J for speech therapy ..but i did not get the things done i needed to. i seem to be off track as of late between the thanksgiving break and weather change and Christmas i just am not getting my act together enough to get things running smoothly .i get off track a little bit a WOOSH the train passes me by . do you see a news years resolution coming ?

time travel tuesday is going to be a Christmas theme this month i think that it is only right and it is also easy . this is the year that the Bat man came at Halloween and stayed all the way till Easter .here he is decorating the tree and yes he even hunted for Easter eggs that year too

thankful thursday

I am thankful for this week almost being over .it has been so hard to get up and then getting the boys up after a week of no school .soon it will be Saturday and we will get to sleep in :translation -they will be up at the crack of dawn . you know that we will get used to getting up and we will be moving right along and wham Christmas break !

time travel tuesday

ok i am behind- use one of these for a Christmas past memory:

mine is the first Christmas with the boys .we got them each 11 gifts each,yes i was nuts .they have 5 Christmas' so we have knocked it down to 5 gifts from now on. i was so excited while shopping and getting ready . we went to the Mattel warehouse to get great deals. we did the whole cookies and coke for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer .they did not even care .i was so proud that we got such good deal for so many gifts for them ,until i noticed( way later in the pictures) that the reason they were on such a good sale at Mattel was because the boxes had Chinese writing on them .they spoke English but were in boxes that were meant for china.i just wounder where the Chinese speaking toys in the English boxes went. the boys could care less about any of it they had paper and bows

Mayhem monday

you can use either one of these for your post today about why your Monday is crazy

my mayhem Monday is causing me grief because we had to go back to school today . i hated going to school after a holiday and now i am the grown up that has to make them go . J told me that parents shouldn't do this to their kids because kids need to keep sleeping under their mommies blankets .little C got up got dressed then had to go "potty" and that of course means getting buck naked ,and that is when we had problems-getting the clothes back on to go to school. i went to the mall because i needed a battery for my watch and i have a life time warranty so i get them replaced at zales FREE . the girl told me that they did not do that anymore but i could talk to the manager .so you know i did . thankfully the manager said that because i saved my receipt that they would do it . oh you know i am saving on to this receipt . i paid 20.00 for the warranty ,and i want my free battery !but i have to go back after 6pm because the jeweler who does it has to go to all the other stores in the area too .

but the big thing of my day i am doing to myself . i want to get the house done so i can get my Christmas decorations up on time this month .ya see i still have my thanksgiving decorations in their totes in the dinning room .nope never did put those up . i am bound an determined to have a whole month of Christmas .

i hope that your Monday goes smooth for you and i cant wait to read about it

I am thankful for so many things this Thanksgiving day .The health and well being of my family...The husband i have been blessed with...The fact that we are back in Texas surrounded by family and friends again...That the boys are doing so well in school...and hubby is loving his job ...but i think the thing that i am MOST thankful for is that ...

Thanksgiving is not at my house this year !

TAG

ok i know we used to do this and have gotten away from it and that there are SOME of you that have not paid any attention to your blog in so long . so i think that this will just be an easy way to at least once a week join in .i dont know how to tag someone on their blog page so i am doing it this way and i will post this on my blog too (because i have a few other blog friends other then family and think it would be neat to have them join in) so for those of you who dont know how to do this ---just take this picture copy and paste it from my blog and save it to a blog tag folder on your computer and paste it to your blog using the add a pic function and just blog what you are thankful for

our weekend

sooner or later i will get a phone call from someone asking what we did this weekend
Saturday we (the boys and i) hung around the house ,took a nap -ok i did- daddy was out of town for the day .then my sister and her little ones came over

Sunday morning we got out the pirate ship again we had fun putting it all together .then we had a battle .

looked for gold and some of us even got stranded on a island .

we even had a giant sea creature trying to take our ship down .it didn't get to do that because we fired a cannon at it but it did carry away a few of our shipmates

weather change

I love fall but i hate what the weather change does to my C.J.

prayers for mom

please keep my mom in your prayers she is having her operation today .please pray for a speedy and easy recovery

It's the weekend update !

this weekend we dashed off to go see THE GODMOTHER .

took the pup with us that went well .helped decorate the shop~~!!!!it looks so good!!!

i hope that R will post pictures so you can all see it . Guys went to see a museum ,did not go so well it is an interactive hologram visit .big C said that after he drug them through it at 100

mph just to get out crying all the way he got a refund and went to the gift shop.that's where he lost his mind and got J a pop GUN ! yes that's what i said pop gun . so i let them play with for a day or so and now it is taken away i hope never to be thought of again .ha ha ha ha i know its a dream . big C said that he didn't even think anything of it till J took the gun and stuck it into a tee-pee and shot and ran that's when he said to himself "well S*** i just got him his first gun ,I'll never hear the end of this" and he hasn't .

Great visit

We have only been to see the boys other set of great grandparents at their house once since having them and the rest of the time we see them at Christmas .yes i know we are poop! we were determined to go this weekend because of that. i hate showing up for Christmas once a year,but with everyday life and junk we have not gone we keep saying we will go but then even with all the best of intentions we don't.this weekend we got off our butt and went . it was alot of fun we took the puppy and he traveled real well the boys brought toys and books and played in the back yard and even pulled a weed or two for grandma .we got home in time to chill out watching a cartoon before bed and got in bed at our regular time .you would think that after this great day of catching up and remembering ,and the boys getting to spend time knowing their GGparents (by the by the boys were awesome!)that i would feel good .noooo i feel like an even bigger pile for not going sooner .so we have made a new years resolution to make sure that we DO go more often .i did not know my great grandparents .nor was i as close to my grandparents as the boys are .so WE/I WILL DO BETTER .big C talks often about how much fun he had spending the summer with them growing up and i would like the boys to have a memory of their GGparents to tell their kids too

Halloween

Ok so i will be the first to blog about Halloween

we got to dress up three different times in three different costumes

school -what do you want to be when you grow up ? pet shop owner and monster truck driver

Halloween night- spider man and batman the dark night - not to be confused with the regular batman from a few years back

and all saints day well duh ! St John the Apostle and St Christopher

i will have pictures up as soon as i get them --hint hint mom hee hee

here are the ones i do have

where did i go ?

So today i am filling in for the parent that teaches p.e.
i told the boys as we were going to school that they would get to see me for sports time as the school calls it ,i just knew that they would be happy to see me - no i did not learn from the lunch visit- anyway i was told that i could not help i was so funny because i dont know anything about sports . i told them that i used to play softball and soccer and i was in weightlifting too . ha ha ha no you went momma ha ha ha . yes i was -- really when ? oh how about the life i had before you two took over .

i think i want to run away to the other land you know the land that people love me in

a helping hand

I usually crate train my puppies but it has been sooo long ago that i do not have the crate any more so we put him in the mud room and put chicken wire up to give him a small area to train in . it has worked well so far .the other day i went in and he was on the other side of the "fence" sleeping on the back door rug .near as i could figure he crawled under it . well i found out how he learned to do this big C followed JD into the room one night and he wanted huckleberry out but cant reach over the fence to get him so he just pulled it up and then after the puppy is out he pushes it back down. well i took the fence down now because he crawls out all the time now then cries because his bed food and toys are all over on the other side .He still wont come out of the mud room because he cant walk on the hard wood floor.so if i put him on the dinning room rug he wont move he is surrounded by hardwood . he has no idea that there are any other rooms in this house other then the living room we carry him into and the mud room . oh and the dinning room rug

aaaawwwww
