Your Christmas is Most Like: A Very Brady Christmas

For you, it's all about sharing times with family. Even if you all get a bit cheesy at times.

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

Survived Thanksgiving at My House

Actually it was pretty good. I know I have so much to be thankful for expecially my dear & healthy family that I loved beyond measure.

Ron helped me with the Turkey. WE got up early and I prepared the stuffing while he got the turkey ready. Then he stuffed it, oiled it down and put it in the oven. My aunt and her 3 teenage kids came. I had to make a last minute trip to the store. So I left, I told her she needed to use the 2 smaller pots for the 10lbs of potatoes because the big stock pot is too big for my stove and takes a long time to boil. Well she didn't listen to me and we ended up eating almost 2 hours later than planned. but the food was good and all turned out ok. She also spoiled my dh with home made sweet potatoes! Hope he doesn't have any grand illusions of me following suit :-D

My mom and sister came and brought the paper with all the sales adds. We all yapped and later on some of us played Scrabble.

Even tho Samantha and I were sick with colds we did ok. She was glad to have big kids to play with her but by the end of the day we were both wiped out.

I don't do Black Friday!!!! do you???? I'm sorry but there is nothing I could ever need or want that would justify getting up at that hour.... EVER! The crowds really don't bother me as I worked for Wal-Mart for 7 years so I'm pretty Black Friday Savvy! But I do just in general avoid going. And I'm a procrastinator big time so I'm usually doing alot of shopping on the last day and opting for quite a few gift cards. Which I may be rethinking, after I read that like some 19% of the people who receive gc's don't use them. It amounts to roughly 20 some million in unused gc's floating around!!! Please people, if you get a gc this year and have no intention of using it....please send it my way, I WILL!!! I addy iss....... hehehehe

Happy Holiday Season Everyone!!

Samantha's Sunday morning Secret Project

We weren't allowed to look until she was done! She used about a 1/3 of my box of Puffs with lotion for this! Took her about 2 hours altogether.


Apparenlty she was inspired by her favorite video game on XBox that she likes to play :)


I just love my kiddo!

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need.

All The Same by Sickpuppies
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Samantha has the Britax 5 point harness carseat for kids up to 80 lbs.
I remember when I decided to buy it. It was about 3 or so years ago. A couple of moms had bought them for their kids. Samantha weighed about 40 lbs. She was growing out of her old 5 point harness carseat and I was contemplating which booster seat to buy. Ron actually tried talking me out of the booster seat, stating that she was old enough to just the use the seatbelt by itself. (according to the law at the time she was.... 4 years old) Our laws just changed this fall to 80 lbs or 8 years old must at least be in a booster. Anywho, That summer I visited a booth at the fair and found out that the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommended up to 80 lbs. be in a booster and preferably a 5 point harness. Well, Ron still wasn't convinced. He never used any of this with his older kids and they fared just fine. See, he has 2 older boys from his first marriage, both born in the early 80's. So they were about 2 or 3 when they moved into regular seat belts. seems crazy to me but that's just how things were. But we are learning now more and more about proper safety for children. I say because nothing happened to them, they were just lucky is all. law of averages or whatever. So I contemplated and hemmed and hawed in my heart and mind. In the end, I decided on my own to just order the Britax and be done with it. I decided "IF" something happened I couldn't live with myself knowing, better options were out there. I don't work, so I couldn't afford to go out and buy a better car (side air bags and all that) but I could get the best car seat and at $250, I agree there was some sticker shock. But I also felt in my heart, it was what I needed to do. She is my only baby. And not that I think that parents who have more than 1 child love any child more or feel one is expendable just because they have more. But sometimes for me this issue comes up in my head, he has & has raised 2 full grown children......she is my ONLY baby. Of course, as expected Ron grumbled and gumped for a few days. Don't get me wrong, he didn't yell and scream or demand I send it back, just in general really shocked that I could justify the price. I don't think he stopped grumbling because he had a change of heart and realized I was right or anything. I think he just figured, well the darn thing is already bought and here and might as well move on.
After seeing this video, I'm more than ever satisfied with my choice of car seats. And Samantha really likes it, it is very comfortable. This kid has made 4 cross country trips in this carseat..... without a tv.
