lights on and everyone is home!

Lights up on our tree, thanks to Trish Cutler! She showed up in church today with a pack of replacement bulbs after reading my facebook status. What a great lady! :) Boys are going to their first middle school church party tonite! They are very excited and I am happy for them. They went to another middle schoolers birthday party last night and the mom told me I have such nice, polite boys. That felt so good to hear that. Today I am going to go shopping for my mom, mother-in-law and sister Kim. Yikes!

Dave is of course watching football- the Lions, who else!

Hey, how did it get to be almost Christmas again. The boys are turning into little men now. Jacob's voice started changing and he is wearing size 12 shoes! I think that is big enough thank-you! He is about an inch taller than me at 5'8 or so. Micah is also really starting to grow. He is growing out of all his pants and he is in men's size shoes as well. He has surpassed Grandma Kitty in the height department- a proud day for him. And, he can lift me up! He loves this. Noah is still waiting for his growth spurt. He will get there we keep telling him. He is not being very patient so far.

We just lived through the blizzard of 2009- come on...ridiculous little snowstorm that it was! The boys got a three day snow day...but not me! Nope...I braved the blizzard! Many of my students however did not. I had attendance of about 12 of 23 kiddos on Wednesday and 15 of 23 on Thursday. BTW my class is a dream this year. I am looping and loving the growth I am seeing in my students.

So just got back from shopping for Christmas. I love this time of year!! Our tree still has no lights on it. hmmmmm....maybe we will just go green this year.
