What have we been doing?

I swear we have been busy busy busy, but I have NO idea what we have been doing! At school I was preparing for 3 performances (each of the boys plus my classroom of PreK kids!), hosting the PTO holiday social BEFORE the holiday program, preparing for the arrival of my mom, shopping for Christmas gifts and getting them all shipped out! Oh yeah, and still doing taekwondo, basketball and sunshine generation in there somewhere.

I now present to you, the holiday round up in photos. First up, some snaps of the next Damon Bailey...Mr. Pookins!





Oh yeah, I also hosted a cookie swap! It was great to have friends fill our home during the holiday season and share laughs, food and drink!

The kids decorating sugar cookies



The cookie spread! We had 10 people attend and each person brought 6 dozen cookies...that's 720 cookies in my kitchen!!!!


Next up is the performance by Sunshine Generation with support from Magoo. Or, not so much support. When I figure out how to get video off my DVD camera and onto the computer I will post a little clip...for now, it's just still pics!




And the holiday performance at school...

First a Magoo and his dance partner


Then Pookins


And finally, Mrs. Brown and I post Merry Hula performance


Mele Kalikimaka!!!

Why do I do this every year!!!!!!

I buy Christmas presents early and stash them away "thinking" that I will remember where I have put them. I went to my super secret spot yesterday to get my gift wrap on...and NO STINKING PRESENTS! What?! I swear I put them in that little tiny closet inside the laundry room. For those who have been to my house or live in one like it I'm not talking about the big closet in the laundry room all the way at the end; I'm talking about the waste of space teeny-tiny closet just outside the big closet.

I have torn the house apart looking for these darn presents! Thank goodness DevilDoc's stuff wasn't hidden away, I don't have to hide things from him since he's gone :) I'm sure I will uncover them in the atrocity that used to be the office. May the good Lord help me to make my way through that FEMA declared disaster area in the near future. I may have 3 children and one of them is just trapped in that room!

So...dad, Julie, mom and in-laws. You may be getting your Christmas gifts a little late, okay? Thanks!
