Every day I'm shuffeling

So.... How did it gooooo?
Well I didn't leave the house all morning. I should have taken the kids to stay n play but the house just needed so much work that I couldn't leave without taking care of it. I got my room put back together and can now see most of the floor and all our children have clean clothes once again in their cupboards.

We are trying to get the operation christmas child organized and ready to send out the end of the week so I spend the rest of the morning organizing and taking inventory of what we already had. Then made a list of what was needed and after the kids came home from school I went to Lethbridge to get all the rest of the stuff we needed. Dad wants enough to fill 50 boxes. Alyssa met up with me at Walmart and helped me get all the goods. We had may comments about what was in our carts. I enjoyed getting out and having a focus of what to get. The lions club had donated money for it so I had money to burn and a list to focus on. After a delectable dinner at Mc Donalds we met up with our friend Andrew and went to a late movie at the mill. We sat the intern. I think you have already seen that one. I liked it. It bugs me when the husband cheats but I guess it all works out in the end.

There was a crazy Chinook blowing through that took down a tree or two and by the time the movie was over it started snowing so if I had my brights on it looked like I was going warp speed. That probably explains why I got home so fast.

Some funny stories about our crazy kids to make you smile.

Ava has learned  a new word. nasty.
Preston sat beside her in my lap and Ava was upset by this. "I don't want him to sit by me he is a nasty boy."
" I can't wear that nightgown it is nasty! I only feel beautiful in the princess nightgown."

She is so specific about her clothes at the moment more then ever before if that is possible. If I have her wear pants she pouts all morning about not feeling beautiful. She refuses to put her tutu overtop of pants because that isn't beautiful either.

Ava-" I'm going to call grandpa dad"
Mom- but what will you call daddy?
A- Justice!
M-but grandpas name is Roger
A- really! is his last name grandpa?

Preston has taken to is getting picky about what he wants and if he doesn't like something he will push it away with his elbow. If I try to give him a spoonful of something he always  puts his elbow up to block his mouth.
he is talking a lot now and loves to repeat anything the kids say. he especially loves telling knock knock jokes and doing the high five low five thingy.

Izaac has taken well to his roll as big brother and was very helpful to grandma while I was gone in Lethbridge tonight. He has decided that he no longer likes snow because it is too cold.

Cora is crazy goofy. She wiggles and dances whenever she gets a chance.

I love you and yes time is passing quickly I am starting to feel like our time may come to an end before we are ready for it. I am glad we are ending with christmas brake and then it seems like a logical stoping place for the kids school and all that.

I love reading your letters and I apologize that I have not been diligent. I love you and I love to hear from you. I love Jokes also. and your funny pictures you send. I should do more pictures. You are so right and awesome and handsome and I love your strong hairy arms and your lips kissing mine....... I really like you!!

Love your dance partner
