Cold and even colder was the theme for the weekend! I did let the kids go outside for short times to get out some energy. They really like going snowboarding down the little hill behind our neighbor's house. Or today they got their bikes out and rode those on the sidewalk. But it doesn't last long before they are frozen and want to come in.
Keith put up our Christmas lights on the house today! First he had to take the old ones down that were frozen and squished in the gutters. He came in a few times to warm his hands up. I stayed in until the end :) Then I had him put some garland and stuff on the front porch and door. Looks all festive now! Have a few more things to put out, but those will wait until I get back from NY on Wednesday.
Saturday the kids went and saw Santa's Santa helper at the drugstore. They had free 4x6 pics and then you could order additional sizes if you wanted. We got a couple extras. The kids looked so nice I couldn't resist. Plus it was SUPER cheap! The malls charge you an arm and leg...plus some more and the Santa helpers there are never in full uniform. This guy was! We missed seeing Santa's helper at the downtown park event because it was the same night as Salem's concert, which Kaden was very bummed. So I'm glad we were able to find a helper somewhere else!
Sunday we got alot of the Christmas shopping done for relatives. I'll get them all packed up and hoping to have them shipped out Thursday. But yeah probably won't happen until we get back from Missouri on Monday. But Keith has Monday off, so he'll be able to help me then. But that's cutting it close, so we'll shoot for Thursday. Also depends on the weather. We're supposed to get a big storm tomorrow night and Wednesday. Could make for some yucky flying for me!
Alright, I need to finish packing and get to bed. Busy week for us all! Oh Salem is in charge of the Webelos 1's den meeting tomorrow night. He's doing the sportsman pin with them. Should be fun, too bad I'll be missing it. I'm sure he'll tell me all about it tomorrow night when I talk to him.
Until next time...stay warm!!!
