Christmas Vacation Begins

So this morning was the boys' Advent prayer/program. It depends on who you ask to what the proper name is, but regardless it is always a great thing to be a part of. The boys did great. Danny's class did Little Bethlehem and John Michael's did Jonah, Jonah.

After that was the Christmas parties for both classes.

Danny's class was where we went for the first 30 minutes. They did pizza, cupcakes, and chips. Mrs. Day made his day by giving him (and the whole class) a kit kat bar with a free homework pass...."the best gift ever!" He was super excited, now to see when he uses it.

John Michael's class did a book exchange, which was a lot of fun for them. He got Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and was super excited. Not only is that his favorite song, it also ended up being the book his best buddy Chason brought. They had cupcakes and pretzels, which was plenty for them, most did not eat anything. Too funny as that was their snack.

We left the school after the parties and all of the gifts were delivered. The boys got out at 12:00, and we had a lot to get done. We started by heading up to Liberty Park and meeting a client at Dairy Queen to deliver her pictures before they headed off to Disney World. I love my job, and I hope that one day it can take my family to Disney World. We shall see.

We had some more errands to run and when we got home Danny showed me a bite on his leg. He said he got it at school, but it was HUGE. Seriously one of the biggest bites I have ever seen. We called Brandon's mom to stop by after work and see what she thought. She told us just to watch it and if it grew to go to the doctor.

Valentine's Party and Snow Fun

Today started early with fun in the snow. We got up and went out it was nice to spend some morning time having fun instead of rushing to get ready. Snow angels were made, snow balls were thrown, and of course pictures were taken. I really wanted a picture of the boys outside of their schools with the snow, but they did not want to stop long enough to make that happen.

Danny had a great day at school. Followed by a good time at basketball practice. They are getting ready to take on St. Rose's Saturday morning.

John Michael enjoyed a fun Thursday giving out and accepting Valentine's with all of his friends. Of course I was there with my camera, where else would I be? The kids all seemed to have a great time. They definitely got a lot of sugar, in fact John Michael is still going on his sugar high! Waiting for the crash so he will go to bed so that I can go to bed!

Danny has all of his Valentine's ready for next Monday. A friend of mine checked to see if we could have Valentine's delivered to the school, but it is not allowed. Oh well, we will just do it at home as always.

The Heating guy is supposed to come in the morning. Time for the service, and it is leaking again, which is just a pain in the hiney. Hopefully it is nothing and the water in the garage will stop seeping out. It is just a pain and makes for a lot of extra cleanup, plus because I where it is laundry has to be limited, so I am behind on that now.

Looking forward to a nice weekend, with much better temperatures. Even more excited about next week with highs in the sixties! YAY! James Spann said this morning on his e-forecast that the worst of 2010-2011 winter appeared to be behind us. This news had me smiling all day.

Well it is not before 9, but as soon as the boys fall asleep I am off to bed. Before I go I will be praying for all of my family and friends. I have a friend who has lost her mother and I ask that everyone please pray for her as I know that it is always difficult to lose a parent.
