Christmas Shopping today!

I am very thankful that Wyatt is feeling much better today. We went through a tough time last night, but Wyatt was a champ, and I seriously don't know what I would have done, had Ben not been there to really take charge and help more then he could ever know!
We are going to go Christmas shopping together tonight. Just my husband and myself. I can't explain what that means to me. It could be quickly grumpified by cranky cart weilding shoppers, ugh, the snowy parking lots don't help either... BUT either way, I will certainly enjoy the time, one on one with my husband, picking out gifts for our children! I can't believe that we are getting ready for Christmas already! Wooohooo

Merry Christmas to you!

Pray for Wyatt please...

Wyatt has had stomach aches lately and it just seems to get worse and worse... Please pray for discernment for us, but for healing for Wyatt.

Happy

We have had a few hard days with the kids being sick, but they are getting more well each day! It is so much fun lately to stay at home with them. Today we had Kira come over and got to meet the two little ones that she watches now. They are so cute! Then we got recruited to watch Hannah. Had a blast watching her get pudding ALL over everything! Her eyelashes were like stuck together. Quite a picture eh? :) I would have had a photo of that one for sure if our camera hadn't busted yesterday. (Pretty sure the culprits name starts with an "A" in that one!) Anyhow, today I met with the YmCa about possible membership. I would LOVE to go. We have to discuss the possibilities though!
The kids are going to bed at about 8pm tonight because we have had a long day w/ no napping! :) It is great though because I get to rest and have downtime before bed. I haven't really been able to keep up on my reading/scriptures as much as I should and want to be able to say that I at least finished one book with my next visit w/ J. We'll see though!

Nie Auction

Today is a special day. It is my best bud Kelly's birthday, and it is Stephanie and Christian Nielson's anniversary. This is the couple that I have mentioned a couple times in my blogging about, who were in a private plane crash in August. I read on Nie's sisters blog the other day that she had some more skin grafting surgery on Sunday. 83% of her body was covered in burns and they have extensive hospital bills... Their best friend Reachel, is holding an auction on her blog...
Please check it out. There is some wonderful things being sold! And the auction ends before Christmas, so you would have stuff in time for Christmas!!!

Sick

We have had a hard day. Well hard day and a half I can say. I am really tired... ugh...

Yesterday we hung out with my Mom and sister. We went to Watertown because they had this model train set up, which I know Wyatt would like. I was super excited because I never really get to see my Mom, and actually spend an afternoon with her. She drove us over to get our photos taken (well I guess you can't say that, when you are taking the photos) at the Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse. It was so much fun (pics to follow when I get a chance to load 'em). Mom got me my first pointsettia. We got to Watertown to see the trains, and probably 10 minutes upon our arrival, my daughter throws up (twice) on my poor sister! It freaked us all out (except my Mom who was totally cool as a cucumber) so I ran off to try and clean her up... and we got that situation over with. She was fine and wanted the trains... hmmm It was really stressful (and a stressful 50-ish minutes back to my Mom's house!) Then we got home and were relaxing, and then bedtime came, and the belly-achin started with Wyatt. His was of a different sort (read:constipation) and was doubled over in pain for about 2 hours. My wonderful husband set off in the night with our three year old to the E.R. ugh. They got home about 1am, and everyone is exhausted...
I gotta go for now...
Oh dear.
