Brrrrr!

It has been cooooold here! The temp has only been about 38, but the wind chill is even colder. Brrrrrr! Feels like snow at any minute!

Went out today and had a nice breakfast with Mike. After, we hit up the mall for some last minute things, and I scored on Kate's Santa present. Without even knowing it, it was 20.00 off, and then with the TRU gift cards we had, it was such a great deal! I can't wait to see her use it. (it is a personal trampoline with handles, and it plays music) she is such a jumper, and this will be great exercise for her.

Have yet to get Matthew's Santa gift yet. Will probably order it tonight. We went to another mall tonight, where they of course have a different Santa. I didn't want him to call out (the real one as far as he is concerned) so we told him that this was Santa's helper, posing as him since he can't be at the same place at the same time. Matthew said, "Cool. Can I still go see him, and tell him what I am wishing for?" Shew! He told him what he wished for, and to my surprise, Kate wanted to run up to Santa too! I was afraid this would be the year that she would FREEEAK out, but she loved it. She sat on his lap and thanked him for the coloring book he gave her. I am so lucky I have kids that believe. I hope they believe for a long time. :)

Mad's has been limping today. She took it upon herself to bolt out the front door after me last night, thinking it was time to go for a ride, then she ran up and down the yard like a mad woman..so I am pretty sure she is sore from over doing it. Lots of sofa time she has had today.

I made a paw print stepping stone the other night...wanted to do it while she was still able to stand on all fours...it turned out adorable. I will probably never use it as a stepping stone since it would fill with water, but it will be a nice memento, nonetheless.
