At least it's Wednesday........Wait, what?!!

Seriously? It's only Wednesday?! I thought for sure it was 2013 already....(Sigh) This week has been dragging worse than last week by far!

But there have been some bright spots since I last wrote...of which I will tell a little!!
                      (or a lot, it depends on how long the kids take to realize I'm on the computer)

Ok--so last post our week was uneventful (to say the least), and Erick was home.

                                                          Part of the week.

Which is far better than this week--as he has seen the kids....well, not since Monday. And even then they had to go to bed only a few minutes after he was home.

"Why is he so busy?" you may ask... I will tell you. It's a combination of pep band, basketball tournaments,  (that never seem to end. ever.) and yet even more basketball games. That's it in a nutshell.

                       On to the bright spots!!

We had our Christmas Concert with Greenville College and that went as well as expected. We were even broadcast on the internet via the radio! That was a first for me, I think. The boys got to play with their fav, Amanda, while we were performing so it was a win-win-win situation. (win #1--they had super fun win #2--we were on the radio and win #3--Christmas concerts are done til next year!!) ((Bonus!!))

When we got back, we had some visitors from the far of Western Lands of Utah. Yep---Mia and Dennis and Taicy.

And Dad and Mom.

           Its always fun to see family around the holidays!

Of course, it was past their bed times, so all the kids went to bed (even though they all really wanted to run around and play)...and we adults didn't stay up too much later either.

Well, the last few days we spent quality time---reminding the kids that  "no, you must share the toys", visiting WalMart for things that we forgot, watching Disney movies (for the 1,000th time for me) and other fun South-Central IL types of activities.

(or nothing....)

It really was fun--then everyone had to head back today, and the boys are showing how sad they are by chasing each other around the house.

So now, I remember that its only Wednesday. And I'll have to find something fun to do, at some point.

Maybe I'll...

.....

Til next time-- Enjoy the cute pics of the boys!!

Only a Week went By...

Last week-- it seemed to go on for-ev-er--is finally over and now, this next week should be a little less busy. By which I mean, Erick may be home one or two nights before the boys go to bed at 9.

Yay!

Let's see...what to add to my most recent post....

Besides Erick being gone for most of the week, there wasn't a whole lot going on for me and the boys. We had band rehearsal Monday night, church activities on Wednesday night....Ooh! Friday, I was able to go to our MOPs bunco game night. That was pretty fun. I hadn't played bunco before (it was pretty easy to learn) and neither had a few other ladies there, so it was just a night of fun and some really tasty goodies.  Saturday we had our church Christmas activity and there was a pretty good turn out! The food was good and it was really fun to see the youth present a nativity play.

Today Miles went into nursery at church for the first time. It was so easy! He walked in and started to play. The only problem was--Jackson. From what Erick was told, Jackson kept bugging Miles. The whole time.  Oh well. Jackson will move on into sunbeams (the next class up) in a few weeks anyways.

So I think I can say this week was a pretty good one.

Well, this week we have one regular rehearsal and a dress rehearsal and then no more Christmas music! ((double yay!!))  Ok, ok...maybe I'm still not ready to be in the Christmas season. Gimme a break, though, since it's December 2 and it was 65 degrees today (!!)

I'll leave you with that, I think, and add a couple of pictures-- I can't post with out adding some pictures--Older ones, but still good!
