What a great week

This week has went by way too fast. I had all of my guys home all week long. Dave had his extra day off this week so he was home for 5 days straight. I love times like that. On Monday we went to Belleville to the Shrine to see the Christmas lights display. They really go all out. I cant imagine how much time goes into it. It is so beautiful though and Mychael always loves it. Brayden seemed to not care either way :). Hes getting a little more interested in all the Christmas decorations around the house EXCEPT the snowman in the pictures below. Still having major attitude with him and hitting him and knocking him down every time he passes him. Tuesday we had a birthday party we went to. Wednesday Dave had a meeting he had to go to in the evening so it was just me and the boys. I wasn't really feeling good for the rest of the week so we didn't do a whole lot except take it easy and just relax which is just as nice.

I am so excited for Monday. I am SO behind on my Christmas shopping. It almost sends me into a panic attack every time I think of how many days are left. I am usually done by now. So Monday I am going to attack the Christmas shopping and try to get it done. Hopefully I can find everything I want so I don't have to stress over it all. That is why I usually try to get it done early. After how much Ive kicked myself for not getting it done this year NEXT year I will probably have it done in July LOL!!

I am been baking like crazy lately. I am finding that I really like baking and have been trying new things. Ive tried a couple of pumpkin cakes (both turned out GREAT!), then I tried a cake (also turned out great but it was UGLY!), then the other night I tried a recipe for cream cheese cookies (turned out HORRIBLE!), and then today I made gooey butter cookies (I have never had these before so I don't know if they taste right or not. Waiting to take them to the fire dept to find out). So if anyone has any good recipes let me know. I am trying to bake all of this for the firefighters so it all doesn't end up in our house and on my ass. I make Dave take it to work so its not even tempting.

Well I hope everyone is doing well. I don't really have any new pictures. I will download the camera and see what I have and post next time

See ya!
