Why oh why do we have school tomorrow?

I keep asking myself that question, and really wishing we had tomorrow off. Oh well, at least it is an 2:30 dismissal. Woohoo a whole hour and 15 minutes early!

Had busy evenings this week (although they do not sound nearly as busy as you are having Em and Jason). Carter had his Space Derby tonight, so we (Kevin and Carter) have been building rockets. And I have been told that "The Flash Flyer" was the fastest rocket there! On top of that, Carter is on the Thanksgiving Party committee, so that means turkey cookies for school tomorrow. And if we're going to send them for Carter, probably should send some to daycare too. Honestly they weren't too tough, and turned out really cute. However, Carter was giving me grief this morning because I wasn't making my sugar cookies from scratch and had opted to buy the dough. "Mom the whole fun of cookies is making the dough!" After a brief explanation of why it's just easier for mom, he still wasn't buying it!

Just finished watching the Biggest Loser, that's my one must watch show of the week. I can't even believe that the black team did so great AND then Amy got voted off. I really like her and I really DON'T like Vicki. She is such a bully, and I really don't like bullies!!

Jason you are NEVER going to believe what I watched on Sunday night. Rocky IV...thought of the Hurricanes practicing in the Minnesota tundra!! Did you all see that there was a Rocky marathon on AMC on Sunday? Rocky is such a blast from the past! Jill/Milo remember when Kevin and I came over the Houston and we were supposed to leave on Sunday, but we just kept staying because we were watching a Rocky marathon. Anyways it was on past my bedtime, but as Kevin rolled over to go to sleep I told him I was staying up to watch Rocky workout in Russia (that's my FAVORITE part). So I was a little tired Monday morning, but it was SO worth it! I am such a weirdo I know!

As Em pointed out...we're counting down the hours. We too, have our poster made, not to fancy, but from the heart! I have asked Carter if he wants to paint his face half red and half white. His response... come on are their any guesses out there?!? What do you think Carter would say? Hmmmm....? I'll give you another second. Carter's response "Mom I am not too sure about that." What a dare devil huh? Not like his Aunt Jill who is claiming she may paint half of her body red and the other half white! Yikes! For heaven's sake Jason, just tell her she's your favorite (I know the truth) and spare the poor women from body painting! {:0)

Just for the record, I have hardly started my Christmas shopping, BUT my house is completely Christmasized and my Christmas cards are ordered. Christmas shopping is on the after Thanksgiving to-do list!

Counting the hours...

p.s. the cookies weren't turkey flavored... just in case you were wondering! HA!
