Well this is the 5th time in a month that I've been sick. Everytime, the sickness is pretty much the same, with some little differences. Little Man had it once for only for a few hours. Princess had it once, worse than Little Man's, but it only lasted til noon. My hubby hasn't had anything, but I've had it 5 times?!?

Christmas Frenzy
We decided to only buy for the kids in our family this year, since we have such a large family. So shopping was a lot quicker and easier. It also made it more fun to buy for our kids, since we had more to spend on them.
It's really hard to go cheap on Christmas present nowadays. Nothing really good is under $20 a piece anymore. Which is why I do still have to buy the stuff for our stockings. But with the extra $ to spend on Little Man & Princess, we were able to buy more than 1-2 big things and a bunch of smaller things.
Little Man is getting a new bike that looks like a motorcycle, a reading & writing LeapPad with 3 extra games, a Batman ColorWonder kit, a book & drawing pad teaching him to draw "Cars" characters, a cowboy hat, a cowboy belt with a bull buckle, and "Shrek 3".
Princess is getting a Disney Princess bike, My First LeapPad with 3 extra games, Dora ColorWonder Kit, a talking Dora book, set of 6 books about Disney Princesses, a cowgirl belt with a horse buckle, and a Disney Princess Playhut tent.
For those hard-to-figure out stocking stuffers so far, Little Man has some cards games & Princess has some big girl Disney Princess panties {we plan to start potty training after the holidays}. Hopefully I will come up with more ideas soon!
I know that this year is gonna be the funnest Christmas so far. Princess is finally old enough to enjoy it. Last year was pretty good, but at a year old, I'm not sure she got the idea. So this year is gonna rock!

Weird Day
I found this movie "Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron" at a variety store over the weekend. It was used, but in great condition and it was only $3.50. My kids are horse freaks, so I thought this would be perfect for them. Especially my Princess, who is 2 years old and stays home with Mommy all day.
I haven't noticed this with any other movie, and thought it was quite cute the first time it happen when watching the movie. If you haven't seen this cartoon, the "4 legged" humans get pretty mean throughout the film. The first time I watched it, I teared up. But then, I cry everytime I watch "A Baby Story".
But Princess, who will not sit and watch a whole movie, sat .... and watched the movie. I remember looking over at her when I started tearing up and noticed she was tearing up also. She looked back at me, next thing I knew she was crying her little heart out. I rushed over to her and held her. She looked up at me and said, "mean". Then she pointed at the men on the show and said "Bad". I almost cried just listening to the emotion coming out of my baby! I never before had seen her act like this about ..... well, anything!
I told my hubby about it and he wanted to watch it, so we rewatched it that night. She again, whined a bit, but finished the movie without any tears.
So .... today, she asked to watch it again. I didn't see why not. But .. I didn't forsee what was about to happen. This time, she cryed, Very loudly, through almost the entire movie! She wouldn't let me turn it off. Every time I did turn it off, she screamed even louder! So I let her finish watching it.
It has me wondering quite a bit. Should I let her watch it again? I think I will hide it for a little while and see if she asks for the horse movie.
It was touching to see her so concerned for this animal in the cartoon. I know she will be a compassionate and caring woman when she grows up.

Celebrating Thanksgiving
It happens every year. We finally make it through the holidays, and can breathe! Next thing ya know, it's that time again! It gets here so fast, and goes by even faster!
Thanksgiving is only 8 days away! Although Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I always dread the traveling, traffic & bouncing from house to house for visiting different parts of the family. I hardly get to enjoy the holiday!
This year we are leaving Thanksgiving morning and heading to my Grandmother's house where we usually spend Thanksgiving Day. I am the oldest of only 4 grandchildren and my 2 kids are the only grandchildren for my Mother, and the only great-grandchildren for my Grandparents. Time with us is the one of the best things about holidays for them. It only makes sense to me to spend the actual *Thanksgiving Day* with them.
{My husband's parents are both remarried and he has a total of 7 brothers & sisters, not including spouses}
After a couple days, we head over to my husband's Mom & Step-dad's house, where we have lots of brothers & sisters & nieces & nephews & cousins, etc. We spend the remaining time there until it's time to head back home.
Then it's time to get my son ready to go back to school the next day, and my husband to go back to work. Holiday Over.
