I'm half way there...

So today I made it to my half way point with my Christmas shopping! I am getting happier and happier by the moment. Just thinking about being done is a great thing. With two birthdays and a baptism to plan, plus this year I am making my own Thanksgiving dinner all within the next month the thought of having my Christmas shopping done is great. Now I can just enjoy my holiday season, and putting up the Christmas tree I promised my little guys I would put up (don't let them know, but I really enjoy that part of the holiday).

Funny Story...

So here we are another Halloween come and gone, and now it's time for the Holidays. One trick or treat story to tell. Ben my four year old was really into trick or treating the year, to bad it down poured on him. Well when the rain did stop Ben started, started what you say? Negotiating for the candy he wanted. He would talk to the people when they answered the door, he would start with, "Here's the deal, I don't like this candy so if I give this back to you I will take these instead because I like these candies". Lynn was the one taking them around because well let's face it I wasn't going out in the rain. Ben got so chatty he would spend five minutes at each door visiting with the neighbors, the rest of the kids got tried and they ended up not going to all the neighborhood but coming home. Don't worry Ben got plenty of the candy he wanted!! Yesterday at church I had so many people come up laughing, they couldn't believe a little four year old could negotiate so well. They loved it!!!
