Slacky McSlackerton

...that's me! :)

Saturday Anna-Kate attended her first "drop-off" birthday party. It was so weird to leave, but she had a wonderful time and Chris and I had a nice relaxing morning with the boys at home. That afternoon I went to our church craft fair. We have purchased a new building and were trying to "make our presence known" with a craft fair, live nativity, carol sing-a-long, coffee and cookie type thing. Chris brought the kids out after naps and we had a great time. We hit our favorite deli for dinner, drove through our neighborhood to see all of the tackiness lights (the kids love it. We have some neighbors whose electric bill is $800 in the month of December, if that gives you any indication of what their yard looks like!).

Sunday we went to church and came out to snow. (alert, this might have cinched mother of the year for me as Ryan didn't have his coat. It was in the car but he didn't want it that morning and it wasn't that cold...it certainly was upon leaving!). That night was our annual home group Christmas potluck and we had so much fun catching up with friends. We have certainly been blessed with amazing friends in our church and community!

Today is cold. I mean, really cold (It's 5 with the wind chill. Unacceptable.). It's been flurry-ing for 2 days now and they are starting to stick, but there isn't enough moisture to give any snow. The kids are quite disappointed, but I'm thinking it's best. It's too cold to play outside, even if there was snow! Anna-Kate did ask if we could have snow dessert (snow icecream). I told her we didn't have near enough snow for that and she said, "well, is there enough snow in our garden? We can check there." Funny.

I'm looking forward to the school day tomorrow. It will be the second school day that both kids are in school (not sick) that I haven't had a school tour since mid-November. Good thing, it's my last one before Christmas! We still haven't made a decision on school. We have found a wonderful school but are praying about timing and finances etc.
