Last Day

Today was a short day.  We took the boys to school and helped them get all of the presents that they had for the Teacher's and staff inside.  Brandon helped Danny and I helped John Michael.  My headache is still there, I am pretty convinced it is just going to be a part of life now. 
Then Brandon and I rushed to WalMart to get the fruit that I needed to take to their parties.  Every year I say I am going to make something cute and every year I run out of time.  That takes me back to the more organization needed for 2013.  Anyway, we got it and got it to their classes.
Then we headed into the church for the school's Advent program.  They changed it up a little this year and there was a little more Christmas in it.  I personally liked it better.  I know that it is Advent but they are preparing for Christmas and so I think it was a great and very moving combination of the two. 
After the program we went to their parties.  Danny's class did Dirty Santa, which was pretty funny.  Miss Donaldson is pretty brave.  John Michael's class did a book review of the books that they wrote and illustrated.  It was super awesome.  I definitely enjoyed them both.  We checked the boys out and headed home!

Well before we went home we headed to Brookwood Mall since we were closer to it then we would be the rest of vacation and we had the boys pictures with Santa made.  Evidentally the 8th grade class was there doing the same thing.  It was cute to have them in their uniforms and now I do not have to stress about that any more.  Every year I go there and get the snowglobe and I was not looking forward to not getting it done so I was glad that we had this opportunity.

We came home and strated getting things ready for Christmas and wrapping gifts.  There are a lot to get done and not a lot of time to get them done.  Being sick for two weeks really has made things slow going. 

Valentine's Day

Both boys' had parties at school today to celebrate Valentine's. They were both a lot of fun and boy did they get loaded up on some candy and other goodies.

I am so thankful that I am able to be at the boys' school for these fun events. It means so much to me and I hope that it means a lot to them as well.

Brandon is so amazing he surprised me with Chinese (take out) and carnations and some SweetHearts. It is amazing to have such a thoughtful and amazing husband.

We gave the boys some candy and a dollar. They were so excited, it was so cute and made my heart soar. I thank God for my family everyday.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Twas the Night BeforeValentine's

Twas the night before Valentine's and all through our house the boys were wild even Mass couldn't calm John Michael's mouth.

We went to the late Mass today. It was nice but John Michael was wild. It is not something that we do often usually we prefer 8:30 as he is usually too tired to be such a wild child. Tonight Brandon took him out once, and then I took him out. Nothing like walking out with a wild one during Mass, the thing is he knows how to act, but the last few Sundays has done everything including stand on his head. Maybe next week will be the week he remembers how to act for an hour at least.

We did not get Danny's room done, but mainly because I did not feel good at all. In fact, I still don't. I was really hoping for early bed tonight, but considering it is eleven o-clock I don't think that happened. Oh well, hopefully I will feel better soon. I really think that I am breaking out in hives again which is not a good thing since I get them when my stress gets high and that is something I am working hard on.

I still have to get the boy's Valentine's out and ready. Brandon will get his tomorrow while he is at work. I hope that he likes it. I will mention what it was tomorrow, since he follows my blog! No reason to give it away tonight.

Well, tomorrow is Danny's party at school. He is really excited. I am just glad that I am going to be able to go and be a part of the festivities! I love being there with him.

Well, I am off to bed. Good night everyone and I hope that you all have the sweetest of dreams. Before I go to bed know that I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. You are all amazing people and I pray that Valentine's Day 2011 is special for you all.
