lets play catch up !





Okay, seems to be my going rate here. A month between each post. Well, lets get caught up here. In November: 11/9-11th Bailey and I went on a Girl Scout Mother/ Daughter weekend to Trout Lodge. It was a weekend FULL of adventure! Bailey spent the weekend in trouble most of the time, but I hope since then we have worked through her issues. She got to do the rock climbing wall (which she LOVED) and did great at. She made it to the top in no time flat.



When we got home, we received some bad news that Dan's Uncle and Godfather had passed away. We were very sad.


Then Emily and I celebrated our Thanksgiving Feast at preschool! Very fun.



We had Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad and then off to the Lake we all headed. Gene and Marie invited us to stay with them this year at her Mom's house and we went and did our morning after Thanksgiving shopping! I really struggled. I stayed up till 2:30 AM with Dan, Dan, and Uncle Gene just laughing our butts off, only to get right back up at 4:30 am to head out shopping! Got some good deals and a great jump start on the shopping though!!!


After that weekend, we headed back for the stretch before winter break: We watched the Tigers get there bottoms beat with Pat and Carol & Kids, and Matt and Taunya & kids and had a nice relaxing evening!- Which let Carol to call me Martha Stewart- I still can not decide if she was being mean or nice- watch out Carol- Santa is watching you!!! HE he, just kidding, she was being very nice. (I think)


We had Brunch with Santa at Norwood on that Sunday morning! The kids had a blast!!!! Lots of face and body painting, lots of balloon animals, and a real REINDEER! Bo jingles, he crash landed at Norwood and broke one of his antlers. The kids are really into "Is this the REAL Santa, or is this one of the helpers?" We told them the Santa at the mall is the REAL one (my reason was that he had a real beard, and he was the first one we had seen this season) so all the Santa's with fake beards are his helpers. (Bailey feels his beard as he is talking to her and she knows the fake ones)


So on : Emily got the stomach flu that Wednesday morning (11/28) so I had to do some heavy duty cleaning! Danny got it then this Thursday night into Friday morning. He got up at 12:45 am to tell me he had a puke accident in his bed, he and I were up all night that night, poor guy go it bad!


He then could not go to the Winter Wonderland party at his and Bailey's school. It is a huge fundraiser they through every year. Pancake dinner, crafts, games, raffle baskets,and so on... Well, I am on the PTC board so it was a must that I was there, and well, I made it AFTER Dan got home from work. I felt really bad not to be more help but what is a MOM to do????


I promise to keep better posted (well at least I will try)
