getting ready....

Sorry about letting another week go by without an update. I have tried many times to sit and write a post but it just wasn't happening.
This week I finished up some embroidery orders and next week is for my family orders. Troy thought it would be a nice tradition to start making the kids P.J's every year for Christmas eve. I got some cute flannel at the store and it's just waiting for me to cut it up.
I went to some Christmas parties this week. One for my ladies prayer group and another a home schooling group. I have another cookie exchange next week too......I'm beginning to not fit in my clothes. which leads me to........
My New Years Resolution.........
Oh how I love to get e mails from long lost friends who talk me into getting "active" and training for a half marathon! ( And I hear she has started without me)
Yesterday Troy was looking through the ads in the paper and showed me someone walking on a treadmil and said, " OH LOOK! That's what it's for!"
So I thought I would have a section on the side of my blog to keep track of my time and miles. If anyone would like to join me....consider this your official invitation. I'm thinking of starting a little earlier than New Years, just to get in the habit. How about Monday. Who's with me on this? :)

christmas pictures

Taking some pictures next to the tree was today's slip in the calender. Here are some of them....

Updating the ol blog!

Thought I'd get up to date on here.

We put up our Christmas Tree. We are going to have to get 2 trees next year to hold all our ornaments. This tree is pretty packed solid!

We have our school room up to date and cleaned out for our second quarter. I made this cute calender with little pockets. I put a paper tucked inside, that has something fun to do as a family for each day leading up to Christmas.

Other than school and working on little bits for The Pink Blueberry, I have been watching Christmas shows with kids and playing games with them.

This is one of my new additions to TPB blog....

I had Dawson take a picture of Sam in his new "coat"

Now, before you roll your eyes, It got pretty cold here a few nights ago and this little guy was warm and cozy in his Christmas green crochet jacket! I made another one and gave it to my friends dog, they thought it was great. So many people have been telling me to open a pet collection. So here it is! You saw it first. :)
