Back To Crazy........:)

...but CRAZY good-LOLOLOL

Well we finally took the tree down and all the decorations are put away-well all boxed up anyway-I'll take them down tom;)LOLOLOL The house alwasy looks so bare aftre Christmas-so I usually keep a few snowmen and snowflake things up-but HA!! No snow this year!!LOLOLOL O well...
Tday we got 11 eggs-so only 2 of our 13 chickens are not laying...WEIRD-its like even their timing and seasonal laying is off-they are acting like they should start laying agn-so once agn we have eggs overflowing in the fridge...LOLOL So call me a nut-but the weather IS-I repeat IS off!!Even the chicks think so;P
I was watching the sky yesterday too and what usually is a seasonal fly over of migration is all weird too-I saw a flock of geese flying EAST!!
So everything is off-We( Stinger pointed it out to me as he knows I HATE them)even noticed a pincher bug downstairs-witch are totally summer bugs....
Anyway-enough of the craziness...
We are all slowly getting back into the swing of things-busy busy as usual. Monkey boy had his first presentation in class-had to use note cards and everything-how weird is that-and had to report what he had learned abt volcanos to the class..He ended the report with a baking soda volcano we had made. When asked how it went he said everyone thought it was "way cool!!" So Im guessing it was a success:)
Flamingo has announced that she no longer wants to take clogging and wants instead to take gymnastics...so I guess we will look into that next year-but I told her she had to finish out this year first...She has been busy with sleepovers etc...She has been playing her heart out with her Monster High dolls/American Girl dolls and just ordered the Draculaura Monster High Sweet 1600 from Walmart-We lucked out and saw a new shipment was posted at Walmart-we barely got the order in-before the shipment was sold out that night...LOLOL Youve got to be quick as hot cakes with that stuff...LOLOL But she says THANK YOU Papa and Nana!!:)She's been saving her money for it...
Stinger is doing much, MUCH better in school and is just LOVING his new PSP-going in to Game Stop and trading in his games for new ones has become HIS thing....* rolls eyes* but the kid is a wiz-actually downloaded pics from the PS3 to the computer and onto his PSP-man-kids these days-how did they get more clever than us????;)

But things are going well, except we have NO snow to play in...yet...yes...Im still wishing....
Im going to try and update more...yeah...but seriously...gunna try...
My leg has been acting up-dont knwo what I did-wasnt even noticing it- it was doing really well and I guess I did something last week as my toes are numb agn...sigh...but its not hurting...unless I move my leg backwards...
Gunna try a whole week at gym this week-theyve changed up the classes agn-and Zumba is in the morning agn-WHOOT!! LOVE that class:)

I know its a bit late-but its not over till you put the tree down right?-well ours is stil up-LOLOLOL so here goes:
Had WAYYYY to many pics-LOLOLOLOL-so did a slide show:)
We tried something different this year-we usually have each childs stash in a pile for them individually-some wrapped and some not and this year we tried to put everything under the tree, with a couple things left out from Santa...Man-I really had a hard time with this idea...I wanted to, and I didnt. For soo many years we did this-and its just been how its been done. But earlier when I had been watching A Christmas Story with the kids I really liked the idea of "playing Santa" like they did-that way everyone could watch what everyone got and we as parents wouldnt miss anything...Which of course always has happened in the past. But I love the shock and awh on Christmas morning when each kid sees their pile -LOLOL- I take great pride in arranging it all just right-ya know...LOLOLOL-silly I know-but my parents always made everything so magical and thats what I remember. But I really wanted to be able to not miss anything...so we gave it a try. I have to admit I didnt even sleep well that night worrying about it-how crazy is that one!!LOLOLOL But the kids loved it and Dh and I did too....so we shall see if it sticks...LOLOLOL, but didnt get the best pics with everyones piles etc...but the kids were soo happy and thankful and thats what truly matters out of the whole thing:)Makes me smile just looking back at these pics-the kiddoes are growing up soo fast though :(
