I think this last week has been the busiest week of the year for us! Here's a run down of what we were up to thus far:
Monday:
Did my visiting teaching first thing in the morning and then ran to Cody with the two younger boys and my mom and finish up a little bit of Christmas shopping. We were visited that night be several friends and family members with fun Christmas treats.
Tuesday:
Ran a bunch of errands in town, came home and put the boys down for naps and wrapped presents like a crazy lady. Had an early dinner so that Christian and Carson could head to the Hyartt to get in line for the K-2 Christmas program that was at 6:30. Every year I am amazed at how crazy it is in there!! Both sets of Grandparents came to support Carson. We were happy that this year they had the 3rd grade play later in the night so we didn't have to sit around for that too! Carson did a great job on his speaking part, singing and holding the lighted flag for a song they all sang together.

Wednesday:
It was my week to take take the preschool kids to school. It was the VIP preschool Christmas program that morning at 9. I had to have the boys there at 8:30, so Landon and I decided to just stay and save seats for the grandmas's. Travis's program was the cutest and he did a darn good job of saying his part that we had been practicing. Apparently, we should have practiced saying his name as well. After a couple of songs, each child was given the chance to introduce themselves using the microphone. When it came to Travis, he says, "Hi. My name is Rocco." (who happens to be his best friend and was standing right next to him) followed with a look of terror on his face like what did I just say!?!Of course, those of us who knew him, knew that wasn't his name and laughed! He wasn't too sure what to do and just stood there with a really nervous look on his face! He started to get a little teary eyed because he was getting a little embarrassed, but pulled through without crying and even reintroduced himself as Travis! IT. WAS. HILARIOUS! Funny thing was, another good friend down the line introduced himself as Rocco also (trying to be funny), making it not bad for Travis! I guess that's was good friends do in Preschool. They had goodies and punch afterwards for everyone.

After the program, my mom came and helped me bake Christmas goodies until about 4 when my visiting teachers showed up. After they left, we did a little bit of cleaning up and then got to go to Carson's first Scout pack meeting. Carson loved it...Christian was less than amused, but for those of you that know Christian, know how much he loves scouting! We picked up tacos on the way home for dinner.
Thursday:
After dropping the kids off at preschool. Landon and I baked some sugar cookies and made another batch of caramels since my first batch turned out rock hard! When Travis got home from preschool, we had lunch, frosted and decorated cookies and then I had Travis deliver a few plates to some of our neighbors. After naps and when Carson was home from school, we put together goodie plates for the rest of our neighborhood friends and sent the boys out to deliver them. We had an early dinner again and set out to deliver our goodies to more friends and family while Christian was away at a church meeting. We ended up making and delivering 16 plates of goodies!
Today (Friday):
Has been less busy. We had a visit from my aunt and we tried to clean up the kitchen but didn't get very far. We got some groceries, had naps and then took Carson to a friends house for a Christmas party. While he was gone, the two other boys and I ran to Powell to help my mom with a Christmas gift she was making.
The fun doesn't end there: Saturday will bring preg. testing cows and Sunday we will be celebrating my mom's birthday!
