Busy Couple of Weeks

So is anybody ready for Christmas yet? I am, but yet at the same time I'm not. I still have a few things to make- yes I know Christmas is in a few days. Presents are wrapped though! I still also have to make some "food in a jar" items and get those delivered to some people around town. The hard part to all of this is completeing it with 1 sick child and of couse me with a cough! Fun Times!
If Silas is up to it today we will be doing our gingerbread house and gingerbread foam decorations. I am hoping to actually make some gingerbread cookies tonight or tomorrow and let the kids decorate them. They will have fun with that.
Tonight Santa is coming to visit us at our house! That will be a nice treat. We have to have him come to us since Caleb can't (or actually shouldn't) go see him at a mall and neither can Silas (since he is sick right now). Also saves me the hassle of going taking the 3 of them to the mall and dealing with all of the people there.

Sammy had his last football game this past Saturday. He did a great job playing defenseman this season. The coach talked to us after the game and said Sammy improved tenfold over the course of the season in behavior and listening. YEA!! My dad was able to make it to the game. He enjoyed watching Sammy play and was impressed with how well Sammy can play. So at one point during the game the ball was passed to Sammy and he only got about 10 feet before his flag was pulled. So he was trying to avoid one of the kids and had to run the wrongway for about 3 yards and Rob started yelling "no Sammy wrong way go this way" (while pointing towards the touchdown area- sorry I don't know the terms). Right than Sammy's flag was pulled (thanks dad for distracting him) Sammy jumped up and yelled back at Rob "Daaaddd I was trryyyinnng tooo, I had to get away from the other team" It was really cute and funny. He got his trophy- another one to add to the shelf. I am starting to think that with 3 boys I am going to have to have a "trophy room"!
Sammy starts teeball up in Feb. That should be fun! I love baseball so I will know all the terms and will be better at explaining everything.

I think tonight after Santa leaves we may go look at Christmas lights! I will get some pictures posted of Sammy's football game, the award ceremony, building of the gingerbread house, and other things.

Sammy and Rob are going to the Poinsettia bowl tomorrow night (as long as he remembers to get the tickets after work today). That should be fun for the two of them. Rob is looking forward to spending some quality time with just Sammy! I know Sammy will love that- having daddy just to himself!

Off to get breakfast started for these kiddo's! Come back tonight or tomorrow to see the pictures!!
