Thinking Ahead

About this time of the year, every year (ok, maybe earlier since I have learned lessons in the past) i start to think about xmas and who we buy for and the ideas start to turn in my head. Kind of makes me nuts, but I have learned the earlier you start, the better off you are. I have already made my list of names and ideas, done my layaway (with not a whole lot of success), bought the kids' wrapping paper, and got my photo for the cards! My gosh, I could actually make and get my xmas cards already! I guess in a way I drive myself nuts with it and Rich just goes with the flow....note to self, in my next life I want to be the male in all of this.......

We had teacher/parent conference Thurs. night and of course that went well. There's not really much to say, I think it makes for a boring conference and Rich insist, it's a good conference! She's doing so good, I really, truly couldn't ask for any better from her. i got to meet with her music, gym and art teachers also, which I might add are very nice people, and all had the same to say. Makes me so proud after all that hard work and it actually paid off, now to work on molding Logan.

I have been working on a project of going through Olivia's clothes and saving the really good stuff, saving what Logan could wear some day, and ebaying what else is good and sending the rest off to Goodwill. This has turned into a massive project. who knew the kid had so many clothes to go through. It's taking much longer than I had hoped and trying to find the time to sit down and work on it for more than a hour at a time, is a little frustrating, but it's getting a little better. I should have plenty of extra xmas money by the time I'm done and I will indeed help the economy, once I can get into this project full speed ahead............
