Ho Ho Ho

The xmas tree's are up, xmas light's out, presents are wrapped. Only a few other preparations and Im completely prepared for Christmas. We had a busy start to the Thanksgiving weekend. We both had doctor appointments on Wed. Ryan had allergy testing and all is good. His asthma is still flared up and his chronic sinus infections are a pain, other than that all was well. On Thanksgiving we hung at home most of the day. Ryan took a three hour nap and then we had dinner at Oma & Opa's house. Friday, my brother and his family came up shopping and we met for lunch. Other family was in town. Not much else to report. I did wake up with a cold on Friday. Saturday, we hung out the xmas lights, went to church and had chili afterwards at our neighbors. We had a nice and relaxing time. Sandie's fudge was awesome. Today, nothing. We have literally done nothing. We watched it snow out the front window. Ryan woke up from his nap and was grouchy. He is now sleeping on the living room floor. The spot must have been more comfortable. I will have to go wake him as sleeping this late is not good. He made blueberry muffins and cupcakes. Get stuff ready for the crockpot for Monday. This is the first time since Ryan's been born that we have just been able to hang out, no plans, not sick or at least not in the hospital. It has been so nice. The couch has seen my butt alot in the last few day. I actually didnt take one picture.

Well nothing else to report. Have to get Ryan awake. Take care

Ps: Potty training sucks!!!!

Shopping almost done

Well, I did some Xmas shopping today. Only need three more gifts and Im done. Then I have to start setting the menu for Xmas morning breakfast. It's a pj party this year. Everyone has to wear pj's, but teeth must be brushed. Most all the xmas decorations are up. We are going to finish the tree tonight and maybe Ill attempt the outside lights this weekend. Ryan is sick again. Major asthma flare up. On Steroids again. I hate steroids. Good for breathing but for attitude. Hateful. He gets downright hateful. He is so ready to potty train. I have it planned to start next weekend but he is ready now!!! The kids is obsessed with the stupid potty. Jeez!! So we are well on our way. I may let him run around in underwear tonight. I just dont want his sitting on my new furniture. He's already pee'd on it once. He did have a speech eval last night and he is doing great. He tested good and Ill get a report in a few weeks. She said he has improved alot. That was good news. Friday is my holiday party for work and then Kaden's bday party is saturday. We have a busy weekend. Sunday we are hanging at home. Im tired. Well, that all for now. Take care.

OH, we love the weekend. Collllllllld!

That's how Ryan says it. Cooooold! We have a football game saturday that I want to go to but if its to cold we wont be attending. Ill have to see. Ryan is doing well. He has been great every morning at school. He walks in and says, " Bye Mommy". He's a pro. Today they made chocolate chip cookies. Miss Brooke said he was really good. He was very patient and waited his turn to stir. It was probably killing him not to stir first. He likes to cook. He has been an awfully good boy. He's the sweetest baby, Im lucky. He is talking like crazy. We have been talking about the potty alot. Oh and cars. He is addicted to the movie cars. This weekend Madagascar 2 comes out in theatre and Im taking Ryan. This will be his first theatre experience. Nothing else to report. Getting haircuts in a week. Cant wait. Did a little xmas shopping and ryan is about done. Take care.'

Vote

So tomorrow is the big day. Vote. I voted early and it was a difficult decision. One Im still not sure was the best one. Time will only tell.

Ryan had a great night. He played very well in his room. It was kinda quiet. I did some stuff on the computer and cleaned up after dinner. He watched cars, his new favorite movie. When we have to take it back to the library, it will be a sad day. Im going to buy the stupid thing. He has been dancing like crazy. Its so funny. I cannot believe its November. Thanksgiving and then
Christmas. It's creeping up to fast. Looking forward to this weekend for another playoff game. Princeville plays Galena. I hope the weather is nice so that Ryan and I can go. He will be able to wear his Princeville sweatshirt. Not much else going on. Take care.

Love,
Becky

Halloween

We had a great Halloween. Ryan got a ton of stuff from his school party. He got these teeth, I came in from outside and turned and Ryan had those in, it was so funny. I lost it. He thought it was funny too. We started a little after 5pm and I bet we didnt get home until 7pm. We took the wagon and walk all over town. He was pretty serious about his trick or treating. We got a ton of compliments on his costume. We came home and I made chicken and noodles. We ate, Ryan didnt and sat around for awhile and everyone went home. Ryan was exhausted. If we didnt have so much going on we would have gone over to the football game. They are in the playoff's and they won again. Nothing else to report.
