Happy New Year, Happy January and Happy Mommy

Happy New Year, Yep only what? 10days in and I'm finally getting to the posting of the new year? Totally skipped out on the Christmas. Christmas was fantastic, the boys were extremely happy about the fight Santa must have had in our front room which resulted in his losing I'm sure his whole sack of toys all neatly piled under our tree with all kinds of pretty wrappers. The pretty and the neat were soon disasterized with many many many small and tiny pieces of everything form paper, ribbonbows, legos, hotwheels and puzzle pieces. MJ was SOOOOOO EXCITED and I was so excited to have an older Baby's First Christmas because he totally understood unwrapping after watching the 2 older boys. He crawled himself right over and started ripping paper off everything he could find, even the things that were already unwrapped. Gift boxes yummy!
AJ was very happy with his "haul" so much for those 3 gifts, the inlaws of course seem to think they are Santa? I was sure they had their chance 20yrs ago? Didn't they get the memo? NOOOOOOOOO they decided each child needed about 3-4 gifts? TJ was also pleased as punch, the look on his face when he saw a snowboard! and then monsterly huge monstertrucks for in the house! he took lastyears trucks outside and I told him he couldn't use them in the house after they had been out offroading in my gardens, their sandbox and he many puddles that seem to attack every male creature in this house. So Santa brought new ones for the basement carpet. You all must remember the july1st? Oh BTW Santa was one smart cookie! he left thsi 31 in 1 game thing you plug in the TV, I can actually get supper started without interruption. I take it out presupper and put it away while we eat, Mj wants to try it now, AJ of course wants to let him! (oops it's out early today cause I'm trying to get my house ready for guests on the weekend) I can't be a perfect mom everyday!
Soooooooooo now that December is covered, on to January and 2006! and Down with my weight, yeah I found some cookies Santa forgot to eat and well they found my waist line too! oh the horror, but again Santa was a smart cookies (it must be the eating of the cookies that makes him so smart?) he Brought mommy a Dance Dance Revolution game and I'm learing but slowly, I'm not very good with beat and tempo and fast moves or even jumping! but I'm working it and it's working me! it even keeps a tally of the workouts I've done for, and counts of the calories, records this based on my weight and my steps. It's exercise without even trying! I'm just Dancing. :) TJ is happily back in school so that makes me happy too, yesterday I took AJ sliding with our baby monitor strapped to my waist! It was a blast, and we swept off our ice rink that is in negotiations with the weather in the back yard. The Sun and theheat are to arrive on Saturday and Sunday, so we'll see how that goes +6C isn't good for ice?
I guess that's all the news for 2006 so far, house work, exerise, carting kids here and there, and home work, yep sounds like 2006 is in full swing!

I can see it... on the verge of December

Wow! tomorrow is december, seems like we just finished december, but that was a year ago now. I remember it because I spent all of December, January and most of February contracting and waiting for MJ to show up!

This is this year? yesterday I tried to get my act together and start getting our Christmas pictures ready but well seems that MJ didnt' want to look at the camera? I'll try again this afternoon with TJ and AJ and try to get them all together. I have some red fabric here somewhere, have ot dig that up and dress boys in kyooty clothes. :) the kyooter the better for family brag power! I do love the way his toes look so excited in this picture "mom I got it! I can finally touch the sparkly stuff! wait your not taking it away SCORE!" then of course he's on the verge of eating it so it was a VERY fast shot.

Today's goal get on my stepper for 20minutes (must lose 30lbs of me so I can quit giving Weight watchers money, and get back to my lifetime status), get the boys to all smile at the camera at the same time and bake some gingerbread men without eating them! I'm so bad for binging on the sweets and treats.

Coffee made, breakfasts to be eaten and off we go, November I'm going to give you my best for the last day of the money and only 15hours to December ACK! must start shopping too.

November is here!!!! Wow this year is totally flying by,
TJ is getting older and can now ride a 2wheeler, well he can ride it downhill, he still has to work on his leg strength so he can drive it the return trip up the driveway.
AJ is 4 now! I can't believe it, I made him a Pirate cake for his b-day but he decided he really wanted a wiggles theme like the year before, so my quick trick was to "stick" the candle from last year on the side of the boat and tell him it was "Captain Feathersword's ship" Bang happy 4yrold. See Octobers Cake to the left, or other right if your a computer looking at me?
Oh the tantrums that a 4yrold can pull, this wasn't in the manuel, oh wait there is no manuel! I must go and add this to my manuel before I forget for MJ
MJ is now 8months old and standing everywhere, the world is meant for standing mom didn't you know this? standing can be done in the middle of the hardwood floor if there is a table a chair a coffee table, or any hard item to knock bottom jaws on on the way down but the "plop" when purposely falling is the bestest fun ever! still no teeth, but the bumps are there, just the wait now, I'm sure I'll notice them before I see them. :)
I guess that's all the news for now, on to the task of being momKyooty
