So day 3 was Grandpa and Grandma time, Day 4 was Caleb's choice for dinner (pancakes and eggs), Day 5 we went shopping for the family we adopted for Christmas. Our Sunday School adopted a family of 6 and we adopted a 1st grader from Caleb's school, so we shopped for them on Sunday afternoon. Which brings me to day 6, game night. We had Grandpa and Grandma over for dinner, so they stayed and played a game of UNO with us. I was the lucky winner. The game takes a lot longer when you have so many people playing, but it was fun and everyone had a good time.
After Grandpa and Grandma left, we played a game of wii bowling....wow, I used to be good at that, but not so much anymore. Chloe was the big surprise....
Chloe almost beat all of us, Josh got first, then Chloe, followed by me and Caleb.....yeah, I know Caleb doesn't quite look like himself...he chose to be Sonic, the character that he created....that is all I will say about that.
tonight was a night.....craft night was our advent activity...however, I would like to share with you what happened earlier in the night. Partly because I don't want to forget, but also because it will be funny...someday...For starters, I was cold, so I put the tea kettle on to boil some water for hot cocoa....I was reading Caleb's Awana memory verse to him and at the same time, leaning against the stove to warm my back....yeah....well, it got a little warm and I realized that I was on fire....I said, "oh crap, am I on fire?" and Caleb says, "YES!!! STOP DROP AND ROLL MOM!!!!"...I didn't stop drop and roll as I thought the tile might not help much...although I did seriously consider it. I do consider myself quite lucky to have put two shirts on as I completely ruined the top shirt and the under shirt is completely fine...I tore the top shirt off and threw it on the floor where it went out....I am sure my kids had no idea what do think of their crazy mom...After that, Caleb and his dad left for swim practice and the girls and I were getting ready to make pizzas for dinner. Well, it got really quiet...and when Keira is quiet, you better get to her quickly, well....not so lucky this time. Let me preface by saying I love my daughter very much....but tonight I didn't like her so much....we (Chloe and I) found her in her bedroom completely covered in an entire tube of lipstick, not light pink, dark red...yep...that stuff doesn't come out..of the carpet...so now I have a HUGE red spot on the carpet in her bedroom which matches the other lipstick marks she has previously made....okay, so you would think that I would have hid all these things from her right? I did...took all the play lipstick and chapstick and lipgloss all out of her reach....except for the one in my purse, yeah that's right, the one I never wear, the one that hasn't been used in years, I DON'T WEAR LIPSTICK, yet that is the one she dug through my purse to find and completely destroyed her carpet. I put her in the tub and had to clean the tub of the red ring that the water left after it drained...I am sure you are wondering why I didn't take a picture...because it was cute when they didn't know better, but this girl, she is smart and she knows better....Anyway, we had dinner then we did our craft...and it was a sweet time that we had at our kitchen table for about an hour.
I bought these ornaments for them to color....
How can you be mad at that face????? not too hard, trust me.
Then we made bell ornaments which were a little more difficult, but they did great...and they turned out pretty cute too :)
The finished product....not bad, eh?
okay, the day is over, and I am praying that tomorrow will be much less eventful....I made some crock pot oatmeal that I can't wait to wake up and eat....yum.....
