6 Days left?!?

{Blink} Where did Christmas go?

Boy, you just blink for a second and there it goes.

We have not been doing very good on our list, sadly. Actually, we are just a little caught up in WAY too many things this month to even recognize Christmas is here. Yeah. That's really how bad it is. We didn't even do pictures - which for us is a really bad sign.

BUT...we have been making sure to listen to Christmas music and look at the shimmering Christmas tree. And, best of all we've been pretty faithful to keeping up with our Jesse Tree. We've also snuck a few Christmasy things in without even realizing it. Superkid has been doing Cub Scouts and Little Bear went with him last week, so they BOTH got to make the cutest little snowflakes out of plastic knives for the tree. Unfortunately, Superkid's was destroyed in a few different ways, but here's a picture of Little Bears glimmering flake...oops, nevermind it's also been destroyed. OOooh well....it sure was cute while it lasted. I guess I don't recommend that project the glue just seems to slide right off!!

And they even were able to play in the snow (twice technically since Superkid went snowboarding for his birthday!) So, we're not doing too bad. The kids are excited about Christmas and really, that's all that matters - right??

One reason why we haven't done a whole lot is Baby Bear was really sick for a few days. Last Wed-Sun she had a huge temperature we were fighting through. She was up to 103, which is so sad. She's feeling much better now.

This week we are missing our car. Which means we can't go anywhere...at all. We're stuck. I am going to be SOOOO happy when it's back and fixed (for good!) - let me tell you. We have a family of 5 trying to squeeze into a truck with 3 seats, which just doesn't work. So, that's been a bit of a hindrance. I think we're renting a car tonight until ours is fixed, so that will help a little bit.

And (last but not least), yet another part of why we're so distracted is we are moving. Yep. Which just throws life out the window for a little bit. And, it certainly takes your mind from all of those important things if you let it.

Just to mention it (and add to the complaint list) I have to say I've been through 3 counters on this blog for Christmas. I'm not sure why but they kept disappearing, so I had to keep finding new ones. I don't like this one very much, but hey - it does the trick!

On a positive note - we're going tonight to see "The Christmas Sweater" and we're all excited about it. I turn on Glenn Beck just about every morning, so my kids have been hearing about this book/show for awhile and it just seems fitting for our family to go.

Here we are and we're going to squeeze as much into these last 6 days as we possibly can, because these are the "good ol' days" and I'm bound to make them good! LOL!

In the meantime...Merry Christmas to ya!!

[By the way, I just want to mention that Superkid's arm is doing great! It wasn't broken, he's still having trouble lifting things, but it's healing up really well. Praise God!!]
