FUN?

So tonight Mommy got out of the house--Christmas Dinner with the Ladies from church--a much needed and appreciated night out! I am sure the boys had a great time with Emma :]

Fun gone wrong--turned oh so perfect!

So tonight for fun we decided to get the train down from the attic to put around the tree--got the track repaired put the train on and it was B-U-S-T-E-D! OH the sad faces--we were all bummed--so we ventured out to find a new one--well to make a long story short we found trains they were mucho denero--we are really trying to teach the boys and ourselves how to be smarter with our money--so right there in the store we put it to a vote--we had 2 choices; 1 NO train--2 the old wood train from Chase's toybox.  I am so proud of my boys--of course they both voted for the wood train--AND we left the store without even one whine complaint or tear.  See I told you it ended perfect :]

Tonight we are taking blankets and candy canes and going to the church to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.  One of my favorite things about the Christmas season!

December 3

December 2

Tonight we went to McDonald's and I let them play on the forbidden playground--not so fun for me but they had a BLAST!

Well Hello

I have decided that the kids and I are doing something fun every night this month--because

1-I am trying desperately to get in the Holiday spirit
2-I love these kiddo's and I want them to have good experiences and memories
3-Let's face it life in the Keddington household is not exactly fun right now--Dad is still in Indiana and we get to see him very little--the house is still for sale--my sister moved back to Utah--yada yada yada.....

So to start things off today we made GIANT cupcakes--I actually let them help (a BIG deal for me) and it was a great time!  To make them even better we frosted them with this deliciousness.  UMMMM!

I never want to forget this.............................

Shopping at walmart the other day--we are headed out the door--Jimmy stops, raises his hands in front of him--then slowly spreads his hands apart--the automatic heavy doors slowly open--Jimmy says "the force"--I tell him he's my hero, and what would I do without him--he says "yeah, I only use it at the grocery store"   :] Happy Friday Y'all!
