Busy week this week. I took D9 to art club last night. Then went to our little town's Christmas parade. It was actually about a half hour long, didn't expect that, and they had 2 commentators discussing the floats & bands like it was Macy's Parade or something. Cracked me up b/c their comments were like: look at all the kids on that float or lots of lights on that one. So cheesy had to love it!!!

H had plans I guess with OW last night so picked the kids up tonight instead of his usual Friday night.

I took D9 to 2 art classes today, we made a gingerbread house this am (and then ate most of it this afternoon). All the other kids used all the colorful gumdrops and gummies and stuff, my daughter picked out all chocolate candy to decorate, Reese's,kisses, tootsies, m&m's etc. (That's my girl!) \:\) She was planning ahead to eating it and picked out all her favorites. \:\)

Then this afternoon we did another Christmas art class and D9 made & decorated a gift box, ornament, and a card. I went to the consignment shop this pm and got the legal papers from the owner and will look those over and sign them tomorrow.

I went to the art center yesterday & today (where I worked 2 days) and got hugs from everyone including the Director and chatted with everyone. Whew!

I came home from everything today and cleaned for about an hour, then went upstairs and worked out for an hour while D9 joined me upstairs. H sent D15 up to get D9 so that was nice. So I completely avoided him. I feel like emailing him and saying let's see how many months (or years) we can go by without seeing each other? but I won't of course. \:\) Hope everyone's having a good weekend! Karen
