Christmas Program

Tuesday night Kaylyn had a Christmas Program at her school. It was packed! I didnt think it would be that bad but come to find out there were 230 kindergartners! Since there were so many kids you can imagine how big the audience was! Of course we were close to the back so we really didnt get that many good pictures. Here are some that we got though...I need a new camera by the way. I thought I had a pretty good one but for some reason its not taking very good pictures any more.

After looking at these pics they are horrible! Sorry! By the way my hubby did take them lol!

Elf Magic

Last year we bought an Elf for Kaylyn. It was so much fun! Has anyone else seen these? Basically the Elf is very mischievous and gets into all kinds of "trouble." For instance last year Kaylyn went to bed and when she woke up the next morning she found her Elf sitting in her chair eating popcorn and watching one of Kaylyn's favorite movies. Of course the popcorn was all over the place! So the Elf has a little fun while Kaylyn is sleeping...and her Elf is only here during the Christmas Season.

Kaylyn's Elf is named Oakley and he looks like this. I had planned on getting Oakley out again this year but was going to wait another week or so. However, on our way home this afternoon Kaylyn asked if Santa was going to send her Elf back this year. I said that it was very possible. She said that she missed Oakley and knew it was time for Santa to send him and watch over her. She made me promise to "email" Santa on Monday while she was in school to find out when Oakley would arrive. Obviously I am thinking he will need to arrive soon!

So...my dear blogger friends, I need some ideas of how Oakley can show up as well as some things he can get into. Hopefully when Oakley does show up I can post some pictures!

Not Me Monday

Yes, my friends! It's that time again! It's Not Me Monday! So here is what I have NOT been doing the last week! After you my Not Me's dont forget to head over to MckMama's Blog and see what her and everyone else has NOT done lately!

My sweet tooth did NOT kick in and I was NOT looking for something to satisfy it. On the way home from my parents I did NOT stop by Publix and by the ingredients to make a Cherry Pie plus Vanilla Ice Cream. I did NOT make it and eat it around 10pm at night!

We were NOT running low on toilet paper as well as cash so I did NOT tell my hubby to do his "business" at work! A good wife would always have an extra roll some where! And come to find out I did NOT have a roll hidden in my extra bathroom that we never use lol!

I have NOT been tweeting a whole lot more than usual. I love Tweeting but lately had let it fall behind but I did NOT install a new app on my phone so I can Tweet on the go!

Coming Soon

Because I have 3 blogs and I dont know why (lol!) I will soon be doing away with this one. I am going to try and upload all of my posts on here to my main blog here. However soon my main blog will be getting a new URL...so stay tuned for that. So if you follow me here and not here be sure to click here and follow me! Sorry I got carried away with all the here's!

O Fork Where Art Thou?

For those of you who know about my daughter's eating habits things have not gotten any better. For those who dont, I will fill you in a little. Kaylyn doesnt eat anything a normal 5 year old eats. She eats no vegetables, some fruits (bananas, strawberries, & grapes), canned biscuits, and of course a 6 pc McNugget Happy Meal from McDonald's! I am serious, I have listed pretty much everything she will eat. I can NOT get her to try anything else. Anytime I finally get her to try something as soon as it hits her tounge she throws EVERYTHING that she has congested within the last week back up! Not kidding. It drives me nuts because I know that she isnt getting the vitamins or nutrients she needs. And getting a vitamin down her...yeah right!

On to say that when we do fix biscuits for her which is actually pretty often she likes to eat them with a fork. I have noticed within the last week or so that my forks are disappearing. I couldnt understand where they were going. So yesterday Kevin was getting ready to take out the garbage and he saw something shiny. He opened up the trash some and realized it was one of my forks! Apparently when Kaylyn threw her paper plate away she just through the fork away too. Not just one fork...three forks! Yup three! Kevin got to digging and found two more. No wondering I am missing forks. I bet some of them have already been thrown out for good! I am still missing two from my set.

Needless to say we had to have a talk with Kaylyn to let her know that our forks are not to be thrown away. They are to be put in the sink when she is done with her food. Let's see if this works.

Where is the Tooth Fairy?

Kaylyn lost another tooth on the bottom yesterday. We actually found this one. It was barely hanging on and I pulled it. She didnt even realize I had pulled it. Of course she started crying "in pain" when she saw it was in my hand. She is such the drama queen!

Well last night we were all up really late (midnight) playing the Wii and Kaylyn fell asleep in the recliner. So Kevin took her to bed and that was that. It wasnt until Kaylyn woke me up this morning and informed me the Tooth Fairy hadnt come did I realize I had forgot about her tooth. So I strategically explained to her that since the tooth wasnt under her pillow the Tooth Fairy didnt know to come. So I promised her tonight we would remember and put it there so she can have a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

So here I am at 11:15 waiting on her to fall asleep so I can go and be the Tooth Fairy. I am excited because this is the first time I get to be the Tooth Fairy. Her first tooth she wasnt at home with me so my MIL got to do it. But her first tooth she must have swallowed or something because we never found it. This one I will keep for her baby book. I am going to try and get a pic of her up soon because its so funny because she has this huge gap on the bottom. I am so glad they have already taken school pictures!

I am Thankful For

For Thanksgiving years ago my preacher challenged us to come up with a list of 100 things that we are thankful for. Big or small whatever you are thankful for. Well its been a while since I have done a list so I thought I would challenge myself this year. For time's sake I stopped at 50...but of course there is so much more that I am thankful for!

1. God-I am so thankful for a loving God that died for MY sins and forgives me daily for my sins.
