Kids and Video Games

videogames

My husband and I are constantly battling the kids about video games. Our 8 year old and 7 year old our obsessed with nintendo DS and the new PSP (that yes my brother in law got them hooked on). My 8 year old daughter loves webkins and asked for a laptop for Christmas just so she could play this game. I would like them outside more often but it is cold and there is the constant worry about them and their safety- so as sad as it is I allow them to play the games more often then I should. Now my 3 year old is playing leapster and the new smart cycle.

Oh how the times have changed

Gingerbread Trains

gingerbread trains

We made gingerbread trains for our polar express Christmas party and they turned out great. I had children from the age of 3 to 10 and they all seemed to get a kick out of it and it was manageable for the little ones. I had 15 children and about 20 adults to help out. Don’t get me wrong it was loud, chaotic but fun. Everyone came dressed in their jammies and we had plenty of hot chocolate, donuts, cookies and of course irish coffee for the grown ups. When they were all finished we had the kids track Santa then played the polar express movie with lots of popcorn, pillows and blankets. The kids were happy and the adults seemed happy too - so all was a success!

Joann’s Coupon

One of my favorite stores to buy holiday decorations is Joanns. I never pay full price there because most of the items are on sale and they send out great coupons. Here is a link for a 50% off coupon that is good through 12/12/07. I have to get over there and get some Christmas ribbon.

Moving Company

My husband and I started talking the other day about how often we’ve moved since our daughter was born 10 years ago. We have moved a lot! We just moved this past May when we bought our new house and I barely had it in me to make the move. One thing I have learned over the years is that a moving company is an absolute necessity. It makes life easier, protects your things and they are worth every dime.

I have gotten more and more selective about which moving companies to use. I used to use small residential moving companies but with this last move we used a large company. It was nice because the salesman came over ahead of time and gave us an extremely accurate estimate and gave us boxes too.

This last time around I was looking for quality office movers so that I didn’t have to watch the employees all of the time. I remember my sister hired a very small, very cheap moving company one time and one of the guys hid out in the van. You pay for each man so that just wasn’t acceptable. The guys also complained the entire time. The last company I used was awesome. The movers didn’t complain and were very helpful and efficient. I hope not to move again but if we do it is a large moving company for us!

Weight loss is actually a big hobby for us- contently on a mission to loss weight. I just had a baby 2 months ago and I lost about 22 lbs the first 2 weeks of having my little bundle but bammmm not 1 more lbs has come off- what the heck… SO my sister does the low carb thing and boom lost 8 lbs in 1 week. God I hate her- ugh I need a spiked egg nog.

No Stress Holiday

holiday stress

This Christmas I have one goal….this is a novel idea but I am going to enjoy myself!! I know it is crazy but every year I run around like a mad woman - shopping, baking, decorating, wrapping etc and the insanity must stop here. I drive myself crazy as well as my family - ESPECIALLY my husband. So this year anything I can not get decorated in a 2 day span will not happen. I will buy the pretty cookies already made and by some chocolate chip mix for the kids to whip up. I will do all my shopping online and stick to my budget. Then to top off my holiday I am planning a birthday trip for my sister after Christmas that should be the icing on the cake of a great holiday. I use Panama City vacation rentals to help with the arrangements. I can’t wait…….Cheers to a great holiday!!!

School Field Trips

school trip

How necessary is it to go on a field trips with your kids school . my 8 year old daughter has a trip tomorrow to the aquarium- and call me a horrible mom but I am dreading it. I have to find a baby sitter for the 2 little ones, pack all their things for a day at the baby sitters, get to school before the bus leaves, be surrounded by bratty 3rd graders, ride the bus and get sick, walk at snails pace through the hot aquarium, listen to teachers yelling and stressing to keep the kids inline and not loss anyone and to finally get on the bus again to vomit one more time before returning home, get the little ones from the sitters, back to school to pick up the 2 big kids, then home to a disaster house I left behind only to begin making dinner, clean up, bath the kids, homework, story time, and put the kids to bed. ugh does that sound fun to anyone….

Christmas decorating the chore

xmas decorating

Does anyone feel this way??!!! But god I hate dragging out all the Christmas decorations. I can barely keep up with my house, the kids, bills, laundry, homework, kid activities and god help me if I want to have any quality time with my husband. Christmas is becoming a chore and yes I love Christmas just as much as the next person but the work- ugh the work never ends. I need one of those companies to come out, put up the decorations, clean up the mess and leave- oh wouldn’t that be lovely. Well being we are a one income house- i guess that will never happen. ya wonder why people drink so much during the holiday- dah- to survive of course!
