Well tomorrow is my childrens last day at school. Then our christmas holiday officially begins...We still need to get our tree put up. We plan to do that this weekend..We have been so busy of late. Our tree is usually put up right after Thanksgiving. My children have been busy makeing out their list of gifts they wan't from Santa. Sometimes it amazes me the things they would ask Santa Clause to bring them. Needless to say as they get older the items on their list get more and more expensive...Well I can honestly say most of those items Santa will not be delivering...My son actually asked for a apple I Pad....I kid you not...ok so that is definitely not gonna be delivered. My daughter wants a new miniture longhaired female Dachshund puppy...Ok item 2 that Santa isn't gonna deliver...She has been scouring the internet looking at Breeder sites from all over and she has found several she wants they range from $200.00 to $900.00 dollars....Isn't it amazeing when 10 year olds are smart enough to search and shop online...lol...I'm just glad their is no buy it now button for puppies...lol are a whole slew of them would possibly show up on my doorstep...This is gonna be the first year we haven't bought her a new doll ...Now I am wishing I had ordered her one...I did make her a new outfit and a coat and purse for her American girl Dolls...And I bought her a trunk with some clothing for them...My son of course is all into electronic gadgets, gizmos and video games... I am hopeing the children do enjoy what they recieve...it isn't gonna be that much but I want them to really enjoy their Christmas Day and be able to look back fondly on the wonderful traditions and memories that will be made

Life has been so crazy. I seem to never have much time to post . The kids are growing up and are busy withtheir activities. Savannah wa sinductedinto her schools Jr. Beta club last night. We are so proud of her. She is also in the academically gifted program this year. She has decided not to play soccer this fall after her broken anckle late spring soccer injury. She will soon be begining her voice lesons and guitar lessons. I have searche dhigh and low and talked to many people and have finally decided on whom is going to teach her. Not an easy process. Connor is doing well in school and seems to be happy . We just returned form a 4 day mini vacation to Hilton Head Island. It was a wonderful getaway. We had a lot of fun. We even took our little Dachshund dog Daisy with us. All I can say is that it is one of the best getaways we have ever had and the first to ever take the dog with us. Needless to say she will be traveling with us more from now on. Savannah has been busy cleaning out her closet and dresser. She has grown so much and needed to get rid of tons of her outgrown things. So I am glad she took this major project upon herslef. All I had to do was bag it up and cart to where it needed to go.
