Both boys have been battling colds for the past few
weeks. It seems like as soon as one is
getting over a cold, the other is getting a new one.
S came down with cold number 2 Monday night. It was strange – he went to bed just fine with no symptoms and
then was up all night coughing and congested.
I was up from 1:30am off and on.
I think I slept maybe an hour from
1:30 to 5:30am. Thankfully I worked
from home Tuesday. Both boys seemed
better today, but I told my mom to call if she is concerned about
anything. Anyway, I wanted to talk about
Thanksgiving before we get too far into December.
As I mentioned, I had 5 blissful days off. I already detailed Wednesday. Tuesday, I attended parent/teacher conferences
for W. My very first parent/teacher
conference. And as stupid as it sounds,
I was actually nervous. What if the
teacher had concerns? Would I hear
something that would surprise me? My worries
were eased very quickly. No concerns
from the teacher whatsoever. I asked if
W talked much and his teacher told me W talked when he had something to
say. This is me exactly. My teachers always commented that I was
really quiet in class, but if I had something to say, I would say it. W’s teacher said that W often repeated rules
to the other students! Yes!! Love my little rule follower… now if only
that were the case at home. Ha. But I’m very proud of him and so thankful
that school is going well after getting off to such a rough start.
So on Thursday, we all headed to Nani and Papa’s house for
Thanksgiving. My mom and my brother
joined. It was awesome to have both of
my families together. W ate more turkey
than I did. He could not get
enough and kept asking for more. He was also a big fan of the red jello. I think S was a little confused
by the whole thing, but he also enjoyed some turkey. All in all, it was a really great day with family and I
stuffed myself silly. Seriously, I LOVE
Thanksgiving food. Yum!!
Friday, my mom and I hit the stores. We do this every year and we always have fun
together. I do the majority of my
shopping online, but my mom doesn’t even have a computer so she gets a lot of
her shopping done on Black Friday. The
stores weren’t super crowded and we found lots of bargains. Also, I saw a lot of people criticizing Black
Friday shopping on FB. If you don’t like
it, then don’t participate. But condemning
others for shopping is a little ridiculous.
Black Friday is beneficial to the stores and employees who work on
commission and some people (my mom and myself) enjoy it. So people can shut it with their judgmental
comments. ANYWAY. We had fun and were done shopping by
12:30pm. Afterwards, we met up with the
boys at one of our favorite restaurants for pizza. We headed home and W took a 3 hour nap!! And
S took a 2 hour nap!! AT THE SAME
TIME. That’s happened NEVER. It was awesome.

| Santa?? Are you out there?? |
Saturday was spent grocery shopping, putting up Christmas
lights, and decorating the Christmas tree.
W was really into the decorating the tree and I loved every minute of
watching him place the ornaments. He
keeps asking me to come look at the tree with him – we may leave it up until
February (kidding… maybe). I just LOVE everything about Christmastime.
Sunday was our usual.
A and I got lots done around the house and I began preparing for W’s 3rd
(say what!?) birthday party that will be this Saturday. It was so great to have 5 days together and I'm looking forward to more time off with my family as we approach Christmas.
