Thank you all for coming by and such wonderful words of encouragement. I am glad that I know I am off to university next fall but I am still waiting to hear from the one that is closest to me. I would really like to go there. After Christmas I have to check into getting the au pair as well.
The ds and I had a great weekend. On Friday we lost power all day and d8 school was closed as well. When it got dark we lit all the candles we had. Lucky my neice and I love candles. I barbqued in the dark. It was so much fun. I needed a flashlight to make sure the meat was cooked.
I took the ds to a pentecostal church to see The Singing Christmas tree. It was really amazing. On Saturday we had to go to a craft store in the morning and then after lunch we went to see some fun animated christmas displays. We finished the night by watching Christmas movies. In between I did laundry and other house work. My ds help by cleaning their room and the daycare.
Sunday after church we baked. Then my brother came to town. Sunday night we went to a street fair on a street close to us that has a light competition every christmas for best block and best house. There was an amazing gingerbread house. They built up a whole false front for it. My d4 thought we could just go in. She did not realize it was a real house. There was a house that acted out the navity story and sung Christmas carols. They sold hot chocolate and coffee and cookies along the way.
H called on Saturday while we were out and I did not let the ds know. I thought it is my weekend with my ds and why should he interfere. He did not ask them to call him back anyway.Also according to d8 they are supposed to go with h to by me a christmas present. She said it was h's idea. I have remained dark though and it has been very good.
Well I am sure I will stop by again this week before Christmas. D8 has a christmas concert on Thursday and she is going to be in the pagent on Christmas eve. She is an angel again.
