Random Thought Thursday, I mean Friday

I'm trying Christmas postcards this year instead of cards. Less paper, no envelopes, less postage but still somewhat of a tradition.

One of my children is not being very grateful when she receives gifts...really irks me. Working on it.

My husband's birthday is tomorrow, so hard to buy for and really deserves great gifts. Can't we celebrate the half birthday?! At least more ideas might roll around in the summer.

I have eaten more buckeyes and saltine toffee in one week than should be allowed. Don't really intend to stop either.

Finally sleeping well! :)

Really need to have our neighbors over for dinner. They gave us the NICEST move in gift basket in Oct and life has been SO busy since. Maybe between the 25th and 31st?!

Would love to surprise the kids with a visit to see snow, not gonna happen this year.

After way too much money and too many unexpected broken parts our spa is now working. At least that's what the repairman told me, I have yet to try it out myself.

I didn't know how to explain to my 2yo why her friend doesn't have a Christmas tree since he celebrates Hanukkah. I told her about the special candles. These holidays and their traditions must seems so strange to a 2yo. A man in red who she's never seen brings her toys? Special candles?

Does Hanukkah start with a C or H?

Does anyone is America REALLY celebrate Kwanza?

V is really getting older. Not too many toys this year for her.

My sliding door on the minivan is SO loud it's embarrassing at car pick up. It's got sand or something in the track. Worth the service call to clean and grease?

I think my mom had a good idea, taking the girls to the Dollar Store for them to do their Christmas shopping for others.

I want some photos of my grandparents when they were young to display in my house. Old timey black and white ones.

The girls are off from school from Dec 23- Jan 10. Looking forward to hanging out and having fun.

Wish I knew how to strikethrough words on this blog.

Learned a little more about iPhoto, yay me.

Love my house, hosted 5 events in 7 days, loved it :)
