Better watch out... Santa Claus is coming... .to town....

SOOO, I spent a ton of hours buying just the right thing for each person on my list. Momma, Daddy, Paul, Kevin, Katie, Meredith, and Kyle. WELLLLLLLL, Kyle then tells Paul tonight.... "I dont like what I told you earlier, I like THIS!" So mad scramble to get all that he said and tomorrow and the rest of the week will consume me with returning the gifts already purchased.
:( OH, the horror of Christmas presents. This is why I do not give out a list. I accept what your decision was for me to receive and appreciate your time and effort in getting said gift. :)

Kyle is almost 8!!

So, this morning, the way I got Kyle out of bed was to remind him that he would get a birthday pencil at school and WHOOSH! He was up and gone. He made him breakfast, got dressed, brushed his teeth. It was like my baby is now a little man. :(
I was a little sad that he does not "need" me anymore. My little man is so independant. He is compassionate and considerate. I must be doing something right.
Sunday is his birthday and he has a baseball game.
Last week, for the first time ever, he struck out all three times at bat.
Here is to praying for at least one hit, if not all 3. :)
I love you Bubba and am proud to be your momma!!!

TAE KWON DO

Kyle had a TKD class last night..... he begged me not to "make" him go. But, I am so happy I made him go.
*Paul got to see him. Paul has been making a point to come home earlier to be with the kids and me. It is so nice to get to eat dinner with him and the kids and get to share our days.
*Kyle got to see his friends, Avi and Duncan. He only really sees them at TKD. Starting next week, Kyle and Avi have baseball, so they will see each other more. But from October until now, they see each other once a week.
*Kyle got his sparring gear on the fastest. :) Between his "slowness" and my wrists hurting, he is usually one of the last ones done getting ready. But some fluke allowed us to be first done. It was a proud moment for the both of us. :)
*Kyle got some one-on-one time with Master Holloway. It was awesome! Master Holloway has this "magic touch" with students. He knows exactly how to speak to them, how to correct them, and especially how to encourage them. We have some awesome pics of Kyle with him and one of him kicking Master Holloway. It made his night! And Paul's because he got to see Kyle doing so well. :)
I am so happy it turned out to be a good night. :)

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
It has been an eventful morning.
Kids woke us up by sccreaming (of course, loving things at each other).
Paul makes pancakes and bacon..... YUM!
The boys are off to get haircuts. Their hair is getting so long and over their ears, that I am actually making them.
The girls are going to stay home and clean a little bit.
Uncle Kevin is coming at 330pm to watch the kids.
WOOHOO!
YEA for us.
Paul and I have no clue what we are going to do, but we are going to enjoy being able to talk and focus on one another. :)
I cannot wait.
