What a fun weekend!!!!!
The kids each asked Santa for just one thing for Christmas. Rylie wants the Hannah Montana guitar (acoustic), Preslie wants a stuffed monkey and Chase wants Thomas the Train. Not sure of his thinking there because he doesn't like Thomas. Anyway, Cody says that the kids should get the one thing they ask Santa for because he wants them to believe for as long as possible. Well, the guitar is $87 at Wal-mart which is the cheapest in town and I really didn't want to spend the money. Cody called me Friday afternoon and said I could get it at Kohl's on Saturday for $69 early bird. Up I get at 6:45 am on Saturday morning get to Kohl's at 7:30am. They have one guitar left. So I grab it up. After Kohl's, I head over to Academy to pick up skates, monkey, backpacks and lunch boxes. I go to Home Depot, K-mart to pick up the pictures from Olan Mills, the dollar store, Michaels, call mom in this time and then head to Wal-mart with her. We do some shopping there and then I head home.
We unload the car into the attic and load the kids in the car for a surprise trip to the movies to see Madagascar 2. What a time there. We, meaning Cody, told the lady 2 adult tickets and 3 kids. Turn to walk away and realize she only gave us two adults tickets (and only charged us two adults). Cody tells her that we need the three kids too (I mean I'm standing there with the kids where did she think they were going?). She only gives him two and we realize this once we get inside. I take the kids to the bathroom while Cody gets the extra ticket. We got the 3rd kid ticket comp'ed because of all the problems. The movie was great. The kids loved it and I really liked it. Guess I really should watch the first one.
We wanted to make early service this morning, ya so didn't happen. We do get there for the 10:30 Mass and Cody had us sit right in front of the side door, so we froze until it started. All and all it really wasn't that bad. I made one bathroom trip in the beginning. The kids were good. Of course, I bribed with a sucker (and Rylie is always good in church). After church everyone was starving so we hit up Applebee's. The kids ate great so we got dessert. Oh that was funny. They set the plate down with the chocolate cake and ice cream. I think Cody and I got two bites apiece. The kids were like vultures. It was so funny. Preslie was scooping as she's got food in her mouth, Rylie was shoveling it in and that was the fastest I've ever seen Chase eat ice cream.
We headed home and started work on the gingerbread house (Christmas tradition). I let the kids do most of the work this year so the house looks beautiful. I've got pictures. I'll start a new post later to put them all on it.
Went to plug in the Christmas lights to find out the cat had chewed threw a wire. Oh yes, not very happy. Cody spliced up the wire and reconnected it until I can find out where I can order new lights. This is a pre-lit.
See, we had a great couple of days!!!!!
