Well, Christmas is in 4 days. I have not started wrapping yet. That is the part I dread. I plan on going to my friend Tiffany's tonight if I can to help her with her gifts. What fun. We went out to eat again, just our two families. I feel like we have not gone out as a group in a while. We had fun.
The kids are getting ready for their Christmas play, learning lines, now practicing the hand bells. Little Brad has the red bell the last note of the one song. All of my boys except one (I think) have had that part, so this will be exciting. I love watching them.
I am bad at posting pictures, but we took some new ones of the kids so Ican make one of my Christmas presents for our moms. they are not formal christmas pics, but good enough for now. I am bad at doing pictures all together.
My family is coming up from Philly for Christmas, if they can shovel out.
Mom and I are going shopping tonight. she wants to get me a coat for Christmas. This should be fun.
Well, I better go... if I really want to be able to leave the hosue this afternoon, I have work to finish first.
Talk to you later.

New Clothes

Tiffany and I went clothes shopping on Monday. The two of us once again with nine kids. We will soon be pros at this. We all line up, Usually Tiffany in the front then a long line of kids then me in the back monitoring. I should take a pic of how that looks one of these times. Well, now that the kids are more used to all of us, Tiffany and I actually ventured to walk closer to each other with the kids in a line or holding a buddies hand. It worked out, nobody got lost, we all survived. These days end up being long for us and the kids. I know I am tired by the time we get home so I am sure the kids are exhausted.
We got Tiffany's Christmas shopping done (I think), and I got to go clothes shopping. A very exciting trip. I hate spending money on myself, especially with six growing kids, but it was definately needed. I have not bought myself new clothes in about 2 years, so I would say it was time. Tiffany helped me pick out 4 new outfits and I got a fifth shirt. This is good especially because most of the skirts and shirts will all match each other, so it does not have to be the same outfit each time I wear it. So it is like getting a lot of new outfits. And I saved between the 2 stores and their sales about $130!
I will have to post pictures sometime soon.
Well, gotta go,
Talk to you later
